Overpriced and underwhelmed…those boozy shakes sound and look so good and are so tempting but at $16 each with very little milkshake and a whole lot of whipped cream, beware! Only a third of the glass was milkshake, the rest was whipped cream. The chocolate with sprinkles on the glass is hard chocolate and couldn’t even be chiseled off with a fork or knife to enjoy so it went to waste. The embellishments are a nice touch and are all edible but the Oreos were stale. The Tavern burger is $22 and it comes with fries. The fries were good (nice and crispy) but the burger was dry. It cost us $78 (with tip) for two burgers and one milkshake. We each had water. The ambience is nice but the food is not very good. You are better off going to the buffet just down the stairs for the same price and it

We visited this restaurant during a blizzard to feed our kids, but the staff was incredibly rude and unwelcoming. They claimed to have only one waitress and refused to seat us, even though we saw at least three waitresses and no customers (I’ve included pictures). Later, the manager said we could get seated, and to our surprise, there were about six or seven waitresses and a few bartenders. As I was passing by the bar, two waitresses (I’ve included their pictures) were making nasty comments about our family with kids. One of them openly displayed her attitude towards us. Our kids were hungry and upset, and we had a terrible experience. Our check was over $1,500, and they charged us 20% in tips. I guess the stuff okay about our money even though they ruined our day at the beginning. They

On 10/09, I visited Upstate Tavern with three family members, and we had a wonderful time! I would like to acknowledge our server, Armin, for his outstanding service and his excellent recommendation of the Steak Frites. To the rest of the team, thank you for preparing our meals and drinks perfectly! We also greatly appreciate the gluten-free options on the menu—a family member with a gluten allergy ordered and enjoyed the New York Maple Glazed Salmon without any issues.

★★★★★ 5.0 Laura Harrington · Nov 2025

The food is great. The servers are very pleasant and obliging and helpful . The fact that this restaurant is in the middle of a casino, but up on a level makes it more of its own experience rather than just part of a food court.
