Best Food At Casino Rama

With 10 restaurants to choose from at Casino Rama Resort, my sister and I weren't sure where to have dinner before the Boyz 2 Men concert. After reviewing the website and menus for each, we finally decided on St. Germain's, a beautiful steak house. 
Blackfish is a casino restaurant that makes the most of Tulalip tribal methods in their food preparation. It also takes advantage of the Pacific Northwest seafood cuisine. The menu features salmon that is skewered on ironwood spears then cooked on alder wood coals. Blackfish also has fresh oysters, local beers and an award-winning wine list. Restaurants near Casino Rama Restaurants in this area are known for Comfort Food, Italian, Contemporary American, Steakhouse and Canadian cuisines. Some of the popular local menu items include Seared Scallops, Grilled Calamari Appetizer and Spring Roll. The Weirs is one of ten restaurants at Casino Rama and one of the few that actually is open 24 hours a day. AWESOME TIP: We learned in our wonderings that the beef used for steaks in the expensive restaurants at the Casino site is the same beef they use in all the other restaurants.
St. Germain's is more than just a steak house though - it's 'an unforgettable dining experience'. Serving AAA Alberta beef for their Rib-eye, Tenderloin, Striploin and Porterhouse cuts, fresh seafood including salmon, sea bass and Atlantic lobster from the tank, and so much more - there is something for everyone at St. Germain's.
When we arrived for our dinner reservation we were brought to our table. From our table we could see the fresh lobster tank as well as part of the kitchen prep area. When we sat down, our lovely server showed us the iPad from which we could place our drink order. I love when I go to a restaurant that is forward-thinking using technology like this! We scrolled through the many pages of drink options - deciding upon a bottle of white. We got to chatting and drinking and laughing, as we reviewed the menu again for our entree choices. Having already reviewed the menu, we both knew what we wanted - but a second look-over never hurt nobody, right? 

Neither my sister, nor I, ordered steak. At a steak house - can you believe it? LOL I opted for the Oven Roasted Rack of Lamb, substituting the original sides for smashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. I find, the thing with lamb is that it has to be cooked perfectly. I've had lamb quite a few times where it wasn't cooked properly and that ruins the dish. But the Oven Roasted Rack of Lambfrom St. Germain's was amazing. I raved about it as I tweeted and posted pics on Instagram that night - but seriously, this may have been the best lamb I have ever had. And I live near the Danforth and Greek-Town...so think about that! I ordered mine medium-well, as I do not like it bloody or anything like that - and they brought it out with a warm pink center. Perfect. Seasoned perfectly and served on the bone - the lamb practically melted in my mouth. 
I'm drooling as I type.

My sister decided to order the Atlantic Lobster Tails with Herb Roasted Red Potatoe, Asparagus, Carrots and Drawn Butter. Now, I have to be honest here. I had only tried lobster once or twice prior to heading up to Casino Rama Resort and having dinner at St. Germain's. My sister however - is a lobster aficionado! LOL She even makes a great lobster at home herself. So I knew when she ordered it - she would be able to provide an honest opinion. And...well, she loved it! I even tried a couple bites and found it to be delicious as well. Not chewy, cooked properly and as you can tell by the above pictures - the lobster tails were HUGE! St. Germain's has a lobster tank in the restaurant that they take the lobsters from on order, so you know it's fresh.

We were going to order the Warm Cinnamon Melt dessert however we were STUFFED after our amazing entrees. So, we decide to finish our wine and come back after the concert. However - that didn't work out because we got a little distracted making new friends oh, and meeting some members of Boyz 2 Men. More about that in the next post though! LOL
Dinner at St. Germain's was absolutely wonderful and I'm still drooling thinking of that lamb! I'm already trying to plan another trip up to Casino Rama Resort just so that I can go back to St. Germain's because dinner really was that good! 
Maybe I'll try a steak next time...

Disclaimer: Dinner was complimentary, however - as per usual my views are entirely my own and that really was the best lamb I have ever had. *drools*
My partner and I were at Casino Rama for a Joan Jett concert (see my review) and maybe because of the loud music the plethora of mullets or the fact that we were famished and at a themed casino we decided to find an ‘all you can eat buffet' restaurant. We came across the Weirs by accident and i spotted their sign of serving breakfast from Midnight to 3pm. Now i love breakfast foods so this was a good sign but we were still keen on finding a buffet and it was still a couple of hours before midnight so no breakfast food was being served.
Unfortunately or maybe fortunately by the time we did find the ‘all you can eat buffet' it was after 10 pm and it was already closing down. To our charging most of the other restaurants were also closing down by that point or weren't what we were looking for so we headed back to the Weirs as it's open 24 hours a day. We figured that would be the best place to get a similar style of food as to what we were looking for at a buffet – something filling – a little bit diner or pub like – reasonably priced and that is exactly what we got.
The Onion soups we both ordered were delicious and the bread rolls were nice and warm perfect for a cold winter night.
I ordered their Signature Burger with chips (crisps) and my partner ordered British style Fish and Chips (fries) – my burger was very well dressed and it was a decent burger though i prefer my meat patty to be more flavourful and juicy – my partner really liked his fish though the dish came with only one small piece of Cod. The Chips and Crisps were both freshly cut and fried on site and this came through in the taste though yet again a little under salted.
We had a couple of Sodas plus a couple of Coffees and the bill came to be under $60 with taxes plus tip which was very reasonable considering we were at a casino resort.
All in all the food was good with a good value, the chefs know what they are doing; however, the food is cooked for the masses that frequent the casino or as a friend who works on a cruise ship once described this kind of flavouring as cooking for Old White people in Florida – less salt – less spice – no one is dissatisfied…
