I'm doing it. Â I'm upgrading GP to a five star. Â Now, I have to say there are some caveats here. Â First, you need to make sure that you get the right waiter. Â May I recommend Joe? Â Then, since the water hasn't changed, you may want to order something to drink.
But, we had a wonderful experience on our last visit on 2/2/13. Â Our service was excellent and Joe, while not exactly hovering, was VERY attentive. Â Dirnks and food were brought in an appropriate amount of time and the food was fantastic. Â Since I didn't care for the caprese last time, this time I went with lobster bisque and it was very good. Â I also had the filet and lobster for dinner and the lobster tail was quite large and the steak was OH MY GOD... it was so tender, you could cut it with the side of your fork, just delicious and cooked perfectly.
My parents shared the halibut with lobster on top and said it was wonderful and the husband had a different steak and since he orders his burnt... I mean medium well, they butterflied it and he was very happy with it. Â Overall, the meal was wonderful, service was wonderful and in our case, the price was right because it was a comp. Â I wouldn't probably enjoy it quite so much if we'd had to pay for it since my steak and lobster alone was $54! Â Â Ah, but it was a good night, but I was soooooo full.
Still would like to see them do something about that not good tasting water since I like to drink water with my meal, but otherwise, EAT HERE! Make reservations and get a cozy booth for two because the tables here are pretty small, so I don't recommend doing a group thing.
Craftsteak this is not, but it's better than Sizzler. Primm may be a lowbrow Vegas, but sometimes you want to eat like a high roller. Well, GP's may be your best bet (at least in a Terrible's resort). First things first, I always befriend the servers and also judge a place based on the competence of the servers. I like honesty. I also like servers that will give their opinion on a dish or at least have some sense of the menu. When I'm paying a hefty price tag for food I don't want to make the mistake of ordering the wrong thing. I knew I was in the mood for steak and Carlos, our server, helped guide me through the various cuts of meat until I found one I wanted. His charm and sense of humor kept the night interesting. He even steered my boyfriend away from ordering something that might not be the freshest that evening. This is always appreciated! The oysters Rockefeller were old school and flaming. Everything came in huge portions, so I felt like I was getting my money's worth. The decor was dated and the huge wine bottles are a bit cliche, but GP's food wasn't too bad. I just wouldn't eat here if you are in a hurry. It's definitely a meal to be enjoyed most when you are relaxed with no place to be.
The woman who poured our beverages was quiet, but kept them flowing. The meal was filling and the service was with a smile. Free sorbet at the end just made the night even better. GP's is probably your best option if you want something resembling real food at this hotel. Avoid their buffet and cough up the extra bucks for GP's.
