It not only did it meet our expectation, it exceeded our expectations! The service was amazing, fast and very smooth! The food was served fast, hot and very appealing! The staff was very friendly and best of all the price was very cheap for the amount of food that was provided! The Star Hotel Basque Dining may be the best kept secret in Nevada, best not in Elko, the line was very consistent but the staff were seating guests dry fast and smooth! The Star Hotel Basque dining also had a bar as you walked in and they had two TV''s on with the soccer games, and the guess were having a great time!

In reading reviews from others, one needs to know the style and intent of the place. People looking for sophisticated, fancy meal will be disappointed. People looking for a family style meal, with the warm and engaging people, with honest, real, good food, will be thrilled. We were there for a late lunch. Our server was extremely kind and explained the menu, process, and local favorites The Pico Punch had a touch of Vicks 44, but that's exactly what it should taste like. The quantities are huge. Cabbage soup broth was delicious. Italian bread would be better if warmed, but still good. The salad was robustly tossed and the dressing had a nice touch of garlic. The steak sandwich was tender and had an excellent marinade/flavor. Fries: very greasy and not their finest moment. We have family in Iowa and this all felt similar: Midwest friendliness, warmth, and good food. We were leaving at 445 and the line had grown to 20 for dinner! Appeared to be locals/regulars. As another noted, yes, there are brothels just down the street. Hey, it adds to the local charm!

I'm out here traveling east on the 80 with my crew blasting along the freeway at 80 mph (that's the…read morespeed limit here!) and the crew is grumbling about getting some food. They didn't wanna wait till even Wendover, cause there might not be any good food way out there. OK, so, I pull into the Gold Dust West. I've stopped here before and I do like the food they have at the Grill coffee shop inside the casino. We get seated and drink orders taken. You know I do notice a sandwich on the menu I never had before. It's the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Usually I'd think grilled cheese was a boring sandwich you order for kids or something. But I saw it had bacon and tomato in it. You do have you choice of cheese (besides American) and choice of bread. I got it on sourdough and cheddar cheese along with onion rings ($2.00 extra). I couple of my crew got the same but with fries. The other girl on the crew got the Cali Omelet. Our food arrives and I'm surprised at the heft of the grilled cheese on sourdough. I bite in and wow, this is pretty damn tasty! It's not what I expected at all, better! The other guys liked it too and said they'd get this sandwich again. OK, I was impressed with this new grilled cheese and I think they have it at all the other Gold Dust west locations in Reno and Carson City. If you get to a Gold Dust West Casino, check out this sandwich!

Once seated, our experience was a mix of highs and "almosts." - Appetizer: We started with the fried pickles -- crisp, flavorful, and addictive -- though a seasoned dipping sauce would have taken them to the next level. - Entrées: Antonio ordered the prime rib, advertised at 12 oz, but it appeared a bit smaller than expected. Portion sizes for his sides, however, were generous and satisfying. I went with the penne alla vodka but received penne with marinara instead. While the garlic bread was decent, I missed the creamy, robust vodka sauce that was promised. - Service: A little on the slow side, though staff were polite once they arrived at the table. Overall, the food was decent, but not quite on target. We're planning to give them another try for breakfast -- here's hoping that meal hits closer to the mark.

May 2026 Elko, N…read more Hmmmmm . . . 3.0 stars. Here is why. Arrived a little after 5 pm on a Friday. Two tables were already sitting. The hostess sat us in a separate room from the main dining room. It was hit brightly by the sun and felt like a second thought of leftover dining. Asked if we could sit in main dining room and she obliged. We asked about the menu and took time to review it. After some time we ordered. My husband had the chicken Alfredo and I ordered the PASTA MILANO which is described as: Chicken, Tomatoes, Mushrooms in a Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce over Penne Pasta. Sounds good right? It could have been good. But it was not. First of all, I never got chicken in the dish. The mushrooms were diced and very few in the dish. The only thing they got right was the tomatoes. I called the waitress over and told her that my dish had no chicken in it. She said well do you want some? I smiled and said well that's what the dish was supposed to come with. So I waited. Then I decided to go ahead and start eating my food because seven minutes went by and I still have no chicken. When the dish was originally served,, I asked the waitress for Parmesan cheese. She said we don't have Parmesan cheese, but we have black pepper. Huh???? of course you have Parmesan cheese. I have it on my Caesar salad. I really don't think she knew what Parmesan cheese was. I just shrugged my shoulders and took a bite of my food. Again, great concept. But the food had NO flavor. I added salt and pepper. Still nothing. I took the balsamic vinegar that was on the table and added it to the dish. There, I finally had flavor in my meal. But still no chicken. Finally, another waitress brings out a plate of squiggly worm like meat. She said, did somebody order chicken at this table? I was disgusted. First of all, it was not pleasant to see it look like that. Also, you should've offered to remake my meal, or at least take it back and mix it with the chicken. But to make me wait until my dishes is half gone and then bring over a plate of chicken is a poor decision. The chicken fettuccine had a good flavor. But the chicken was tough. Hard to chew. Not good flavor. I ordered a n/a Heineken. She brought it in a glass to the table. It was already poured so I don't know if I truly got what I ordered. Also the glass was too large for the amount of beer that was in it. Makes it look like it was half a drink. The waitress was kind, but we did not see much of her. She never offered to refill our bread basket. According to the menu, you get two baskets of bread and then if you want more you have to pay. We only got one basket of bread and never offered anymore. I was looking forward to some good pasta, and this restaurant did not deliver. Very disappointed in the service, and most definitely the food. The waitress took five dollars off of our meal, but she never explained why she did it or why she decided to take that amount of money. She never apologized for my dish, not having any protein, she never apologized for any thing. Management needs to teach staff that they can take ownership of the situation. It is OK to say you are sorry that the chicken was not put in your dish. Let's see what we can do to make it right. That would have gone so far. Instead, it left my attitude about this place as tough as the chicken in the fettuccine was.

We visited Luciano's today and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience…read more The service was poor from the moment we arrived. The server was rude and unwelcoming. We ordered pasta, but it was of very poor quality--it had an unpleasant smell and was not enjoyable to eat. We ended up leaving most of our food untouched. What was even more disappointing was that no one asked why we had barely eaten our meal or whether there was anything they could do to make it right. At the end of the meal, the server simply tossed our credit card onto the table, which felt disrespectful and unprofessional. Good service earns good tips, but with the combination of poor food quality and discourteous service, this was one of the worst dining experiences we've had. We hope the management takes customer feedback seriously and works on improving both the food quality and customer service.

I've never thought of a taco salad as being wet or dry but I couldn't explain it. It was hard to eat. I got sour cream, Guac and salsa with it but it was still so dry. Bizarre.... My husband got the French dip and also didn't like it. Said it also had no flavor and was over cooked. The fries were hard as a rock and came in a grease puddle. Must have been the last fries of the bunch before new ones were made but how did the kitchen feel comfortable sending them out they were horrid.... We also got the kids Mac, the kids meals do come with a lot of food so that was nice.

I got the chicken kabob and my husband had the chicken shawarma. Both were packed with incredible flavor and super satisfying! We couldn't resist grabbing the baklava and a slice of Dubai cheesecake for dessert, and both were fantastic. The restaurant was clean, and the team was welcoming. They quoted us a 20-minute wait, but our food was ready even faster. A quick note for management: We took our meal to a nearby dog park and realized we weren't packed any utensils or napkins. Since a lot of road trippers stop by, having forks and napkins in to-go bags automatically would be a huge help! (Had to get creative as you can see in the photo ). Overall, delicious food and great service!Just remember to double-check for utensils before heading out!
