"We 've been to Farraddays before, but somehow this is my first review. I was so disappointed this time around. I 'm not sure if this was an off night, or if they have gone downhill since the last time we were here (which has been a while). The staff is very professional and nice that hasn 't changed, but the food was not the same. Hubby and I went up to Blackhawk to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary, so we thought we would have a nice dinner at Farraddays before hitting the casino. He started with the Lobster Bisque and I had the Caesar salad. He said his soup was good, but my salad was a little under dressed. It was still good, just a little dry. The bread basket that comes with the meal was pretty good, but the butter was a little hard. Not a huge deal, it just wasn 't that spreadable. We decided to get the Porterhouse for Two w/Mashed Potatoes. We ordered the steak medium, but it was more like rare when we cut into it. It was pretty thick, but this is a steakhouse, so they should get their temperatures right. We sent it back to have it cooked a little more, but of course it came back dry. The mashed potatoes were a little dry also. It seemed like they had been sitting for a while. We finished with the cheesecake which they make in house now. They used to get them shipped in from Carnegie Deli, so we were kind of bummed about that, but excited to try their recipe. I 'm not sure what was going on here. The outside was a little dry and the inside was creamy. So I 'm not sure if that had been sitting for a while too, or if it wasn 't cooked long enough? Either way it was a little weird. Hopefully this was just an off night as I have recommended Farraddays over the steakhouse in the Ameristar to peeps when they want to have a nice dinner in Blackhawk. I still prefer Farraddays, but this recent visit was not the Farraddays I expected."
