$65 Seafood Buffet. You could tell from the get-go that Chef Phil was in limit mood with the Crab Legs. The Food was cold. and the deserts were not Chef made??? Why have a chef. This wasn't the first time for the Seafood Buffet and by now you would think that the Chef would understand how to put together a good dining experience. At one point as I was waiting on Crab Legs I got ask twice to just go back to my table and they would bring me some as I am sure this was an embarrassment to Chef Phil and Mardi Gras Casino. I additionally personally experienced the Chef direct a worker to take back a tray of Legs rather than have 2 Food Warmers for the demand. WOW! From a scale of 1-5 it is hard for me to even touch a 2 on this experience. Chef Phil/Mardi Gras Casino you can do much better.

The Prime Rib for 2 was very good the Ranch was excellent as well as the salad. The balked potato was huge and done very well. We had a date night so the waitress Olivia whom was excellent and very attentive brought us a special desert ice cream in a chocolate bowl with a fresh strawberry on the side very delightful.

The food and service are excellent, but it’s in a casino, and it’s only separated from the casino floor by a partition, so it’s noisy and a bit of a fish bowl.
