Hello my Yelpies When you're prepping for a food show and find your schedule too tight for a proper meal, MJ's Steakhouse at Ilani Casino becomes an easy and worthwhile stop. The atmosphere strikes a comfortable balance between upscale and approachable, and the staff greet you with genuine warmth--always ready with a few well-informed recommendations. The drink list is impressively curated, offering balanced selections that pair effortlessly with the menu's highlights. Though it's a steakhouse by name, my surprise favorite was the salmon--flawlessly cooked and arguably among the best I've had in recent memory. Perhaps MJ's should consider rebranding as a fish house that just happens to serve a perfect steak on the side. Cheers The Dutchman read more

We celebrated our friend's birthday via the private dining room. Located near the back of Ilani, it was dimly lit with framed pictures of MJ for decor. It certainly had an upscale, romantic vibe to it. Our server was very kind attentive but because of the size of the party, was unable to accommodate fully to each person. It was a fairly priced deal for my husband and I on that Friday to get the Surf and Turf special. We got to share two starters, one entree, two sides and a dessert for $110. We got the caramelized onion soup, which was reminiscent of French onion soup but waterier. The ribeye was well seasoned and sliced for sharing. The shrimp was plump and not overcooked. The mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful. The parmesan fries were buttery and sharp. The cheesecake had some fruit and compote layered on top. The crust was crunchy and thin, a good ratio for the dessert. Overall, the food quality was better than I imagined. Only caveat was when we left, a comedy show was also wrapping up. The delay in the parking was insanely slow, and it took us nearly an hour to leave the parking lot. So, I would check the schedule in the future if I were ever to return. Because the casino is an hour away from us, I wouldn't return unless I were in the area. read more

Cool little restaurant in Ilani Casino. There was a live musician playing the piano. I sat at the bar and had cocktails and small plates. They have many craft cocktails to choose from. The colossal crab cake was amazing. Big chunks of crab and hardly any filler. The bread sticks with blue cheese dip was something I had never tasted, but it was good. The meatballs were average. I also ordered the bacon, which was thick cut and sweet and savory. It was good, but very fatty. Overall it was a good experience, but the price was high for the food. I guess you're paying for Michael Jordan's name. read more

I've been here a couple of times and I have to say the meats here are well prepared with quality selection. The atmosphere is upscale but it doesn't feel high end. You can get away from wearing anything you want here because lots of people I've seen wear comfortable clothes to dressy. I would still suggest to dress decent and try to look your best. Definitely make reservations at this restaurant because it can get packed on certain days. If you want to take a lady on a date here it is acceptable to impress, however some people do not like going to the casinos, so keep that in mind. It can be a hit or miss. But the good news is regardless your date won't think your stingy if you take her to dinner here. Pros. -Staff are great and very nice. -The meats were seasoned and well prepared right. When you bite into it the texture is amazing. If you like Ruth Chris then try here. -Salads are good quality. They don't use cafeteria tasting low quality bag trading salads. Salad is amazing but need more different variety salads in the menu. -Consistent -Offers certain days where they have specials going on -free parking -you can use your ilani card momentum card to partially pay for your dinner if you didn't know. Cons. -if you don't like the casino you have to go inside to enter the restaurant -mixed drinks are okay and overpriced. Unless you are a wine snob I would say it would be acceptable to that category. -you can end up spending more than $100 per a person so be cautious if your on a budget. Overall this is not a high end restaurant but they do have high end quality in the foods and deserts they have. If you are expecting a formal table setting place this is not the type of place but I would still call and see if they would accommodate to see if they would do that for you if you have a special occasion you want to setup. Hopefully they would. But overall I love to eat here and the place have always been consistent quality and great service. read more

The food was amazing. I had the lobster mac n cheese. Everyone else had steaks and sides. The service is amazing. And although they were pretty busy on a Friday night, the vibe as good, and they even gave my father in law a little bday treat. The only downside was, we did not see Michael Jordan. read more

The service and the ambience were great. No complaints about either. Ordered a salad and meatball app. Meatballs were barely lukewarm, which was very disappointing. Went there on a Sunday and got the deal which provided 3 different types of steak with shrimp, corn, bread. Everything was just OK. The corn and the bread were excellent, but with steak and shrimp, shouldn't be the stars of the show. Steaks could've been flavored more. Cheesecake for dessert tasted like it was from the local grocery store. I'm glad we went. I don't regret it. I would recommend the experience, especially if you get one of the deals. But I doubt I'd go again. read more

Visited some friends in Ridgefield and met up at the Ilani Casino to have Tomahawk Tuesday at the Michael Jordan Steakhouse. TBH I have wanted to try this place since we moved to the Portland area - the Dream Team, the Bulls in the 90's, all the things. Restaurant was lovely, service was wonderful. Food was good. First time having a tomahawk steak and it's not for me - it was good, really good and cooked to perfection, don't get me wrong, but other menu items are in my future. Mashed potatoes good, asparagus good, onion soup good - garlic bread with Rogue Creamery Blue Cheese Fondue, absolutely incredible. And I don't really like bread all that much. I'd take a whole order of that and a salad to be honest. Wine list - very PNW, which is great, and the California wines on the list were in my humble opinion, some great selections. Looking forward to going back and trying the delmonico steak... or even the scallops. Or again that bread and a salad. All around - great "school night" out!!! read more

My expectations were low as I've tried almost every food venue at Ilani and only enjoyed one. WINNERS - Tomahawk Tuesday steak is a good value and satisfied on taste. - Randy the waiter was cool! - Meatballs were delish and a good deal - Salmon was flakey, yum - cheesecake MEH - Fries - not a fan of the spice - Mac-n-Cheese - Garlic bread needs more cheese and garlic, but good crunch - Onion rings were too oily, but huge portion NEEDS WORK - Asparagus: wilted, unripe? - Lemon Drop cocktail with Marionberry was way too sweet, like drinking sugar water They did a nice job with the overall ambiance and tribute to MJ. It would be cool if he showed up unannounced and said hello to diners. read more

We have been to dinner twice this month! That's how good their food, service, and atmosphere. Not sure why they have been getting such bad review. Love the quiet seating in the back. Sasha was wonderful on our first visit this month and our other server was equally delightful. The chocolate cake is definitely a dessert for the road...as dinner is filling, a must for chocolate cake lovers! Note: Be sure to give yourself plenty of time, as it does take time for your food. read more

Michael Jordan's Steak House - Steak, lobster,shrimp, corn and potatoes. Amazing - Steakhouses Near Me - Ridgefield, Washington

I know that I am not preaching to the choir, however, this should be a fantastic steakhouse, considering it's supposed to be Michael Jordan's steakhouse. So I've heard this is the only one that he's never come to visit. I think he would be a little bit shocked if he did show up because I tell you it is hit or miss.! I know that they have a lot of challenges because I've been here a dozen times and every time I come, it's a different issue. If you're just going in to grab a drink and maybe an appetizer you're gonna slide right through and things should be fine. However, if you're doing like a 5 to 10 person sit down dinner, they don't really have staff that is trained properly to deal with that. Constant turnover, and the last time that I was there, the operations manager was serving people. read more

Service was not great. Steaks delivered with no steak knives, we sat until he did his check back to even start eating since we had no way to cut the steak. My Friends steak was so cold the butter on top didnt even melt. I Ordered MW steak, it came out MR. I let the servers know and his response was "I'll go beat up the cook". How about you get my steak cooked properly. I sat too long with empty drink. For a 400$ check i just thought Service would be more fine dining like. read more

Unexpected delight! The reviews for this place are hit or miss but it was definitely a hit for me. My husband and I went with some friends on a Friday night and they happened to have some Friday night land and sea special. We split that - it included two soups or salads (we chose the French onion soup and is was excellent), a New York steak, lobster tail, two sides and dessert. It was a great value and everything was on point. Besides being a little strange (maybe just over shared because he was lonely?) our server was friendly and attentive. The star of this show was the thick cut bacon! I'm not usually a fan, but this one was drool-worthy. read more

Michael Jordan's Steak House - Land and Sea special - Steakhouses Near Me - Ridgefield, Washington

If you find yourself looking for a special place to celebrate an event, look no further than Michael Jordan's Steakhouse located in the Ilani Casino. The atmosphere is elegant but true to the PNW, in that you can be dressed to the nines whilst seated next to shorts, sweatshirt and Birkenstocks. No biggie. You be you. We went to celebrate a 70th birthday and ordered their Tuesday Twofer Tomahawk Steak special. A substantial 34 oz Tomahawk Steak, salad, two sides, pickled arugula salad and dessert for 123.00$. An excellent deal, considering a regular steak alone can run you $89 here. The steak was cooked to our preferred medium rare and it was delicious! The sides we chose were mac n cheese and mashed potatoes. Both equally excellent. Creamy, garlic infused potatoes and cheesy, gooey mac'n cheese, they both paired well with the steak. The pièce de résistance, however, was the berry topped cheesecake and the complimentary birthday pots de crème! I can't believe we managed to eat both of them after the huge meal, but we did! The cheesecake was sublime; not overly sweet, and amazingly smooth and creamy. The pots de crème was richly chocolate with rice crispy-ish crumbles scattered throughout. It tasted divine mixed with the cheesecake. The service was delightful from the hostess to the waitress to the bussers. Topping it off, a piano player added a nice, relaxed ambience to our celebration night. Be prepared to spend some money here, but it is well worth it! read more

The steaks are fantastic. Skip the rest. We made the trip to MJ Steakhouse for a birthday dinner and some gambling fun. We've been wanting to try the steakhouse for awhile now. We wanted to try the soups, an appetizer and a side dish with our choice of steaks. We should have just skipped most of that stuff. We ordered the crab cake at market price. On this day is was approx. $60. Totally not worth it. It isn't a traditional crab cake but we were hoping it would be flavorful and something good to try. It's a pressed mound of crab meat that tastes like lemon. We didn't even eat half of it between both of us. The clam chowder was very good but the French onion soup was just ok. Both served hot and a nice portion. The asparagus wasn't great either. Some was under cooked and some was over cooked. A strange combination all on one plate. Ok flavor but just not great. The steaks however were delicious. Those made the entire meal worth the visit. Perfectly grilled with great flavors. The restaurant itself is nice, clean, tastefully decorated but not necessarily "fancy". There was a mix of guests dressed up in almost formal clothing and others dressed very casual in shorts or leggings. It's completely fine to come in whatever you're comfortable in or get all fancy for a night. Overall, get the steak, skip the crab cake and asparagus. There's other side dishes to choose from. Leave a review and let me know what to try if we come again. read more

The food here was delicious, but the service definitely could have been better. The biggest surprise and absolute standout was the garlic cheese bread. I would order it over and over again. It is probably not the healthiest thing, but it was seriously delicious. We ordered ribeye steaks, lobster tails, shrimp, crab cakes, and bacon. The steaks were great, the bacon was excellent (my daughter loved it), and the crab cakes were just okay. I only tried them because of a review, but I have had better. The ambience is nice and the overall experience was enjoyable, but the service was slow and inconsistent. We did not wait long for the food once the order was in, but it took nearly thirty minutes just to place the order. The waitress kept coming and going, forgetting things like water or straws, and seemed distracted. Even with the slow service, I would still come back for the food, especially that garlic cheese bread. It is a great spot for a special night out. read more

Had a reservation at the Michael Jordan steak house in Ilani at 8 on a wednedsy, we were seated instantly on arrival. The service was very prompt the whole time. We ordered their special Tuesday deal where you get a steak board lots of sides and then some additional sides/ entree for our group of five. It ended up being way more than enough food and we ended up having leftovers. Overall I thought it was just pricey for what we got but it was good, I think the total was about 200 for everyone. The salad 6/10 - not sure I really like wedge salads in general, liked how it had bacon and tomatoes Scallop with risotto 7/10 - it only came with 4 scallops but we were warned, I liked how the risotto was lighter which was needed with all the heavier food Garlic bread with bleu cheese 7/10 good Waygu meatballs 6/10. Kinda mushy for me, came with bread and sauce and just alright Mac and cheese 5/10. Meh, didn't have much depth.was baked at the top so that was good and crunch but besides that eh Cheesecake - 7/10. I didn't care for the strawberry sauce but on top of the cheesecake it had these gold I'm assuming white chocolate things that were good Steak 7.5/10.. overall really good, we got it medium rare but some bits were a bit too rare for me but I guess that's as specter. The chimmichurri sauce was an extra 4 dollars on the side which is a bit crazy to me but we were warned Brussel sprouts - 7/10 I liked the brussel sprouts but I didn't care much for the bacon part of it, didn't feel like it mixed well together as the bacon was too sweet for me read more

Came here for a special dinner to celebrate a birthday! We ordered the Onion rings to start and the flavor hit like a Jordan dunk, it came with a side dipping sauce which is hard to explain but had good flavor. As far as the steak I felt a little disappointed the steak came out on the cold side, they also lacked seasoning I felt. The service and restaurant itself was very cool. They have pictures of MJ signed on the wall which added a very cool atmosphere! read more

Ordered two ribeye steaks, ($68 a piece)to share with a friend and one to take home. Both more than half was fat & gristle, including the one I took home. The $8 baked potato was so awful we had two bites of a firm, (tiny)tasteless potato. $200 for this meal. This was my second time and I thought I would give it another try after a non satisfying meal the first time. Never again. read more

Ser ice was "meh." I wasn't checked on much, but I was taken care of. I had the meatballs appetizer and the Caesar salad. The meatballs were a tad dry and overcooked and the salad was just ok. Nice ambiance to sit at the bar and admire their selection of liquor on a Friday night. read more

I heard many things about this location before actually coming here myself. I visit Ilani often (too often actually). However, I heard a lot of mixed reviews about whether this was worth it or not. I am a steak snob -- so to me -- IT WAS WORTH IT. So here is the summary -- it is a steak house -- don't expect a $20/dinner. That isn't this type of place -- go to Tom's Urban or the food court with that expectation. This is a NICE upscale steakhouse. The location was clean and I like the darker woods and vibe to the location. Very inviting to someone like me that likes the upscale almost exclusive feel. We went on Mother's Day. It was a Sunday and every Sunday they have a Feast option for 2 that is $99. It includes a starter each, shared entrees (including all of: steak, short ribs, pork belly, shrimp), two sides to share and a dessert to share. Not at all bad considering. I hear on Tuesdays they have Tomahawk night which is a Tomahawk ribeye with two sides and a dessert for like $145 as another option. The steak was a 10 oz with a wine butter compound. I would have preferred a garlic butter compound but it worked fairly well. The steak was delicious and cooked perfectly. The short ribs were also fantastic they were tender as all get out and perfectly stringy (like I like them) it was a baseball cut. The shrimp were in a cream sauce -- cooked perfectly mine was not deveined which is weird but I deveined it. The cream sauce is light. The pork belly (not what they call it) had fantastic flavor ... We got Bacon Mac n Cheese it was good and creamy -- I could have honestly used more cheese flavor but that is ok. They were out of Broccolini so we got Asparagus which was the sub and not an original option on the menu. It was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. My mom got the spinach salad with an apple vinaigrette and it looked amazing she loved it. I got the french onion soup and it was pretty darn good -- I would go with a wedge next time. We also shared the 1/2 order of the garlic cheese bread -- now this was divine. The blue cheese sauce is AMAZING... I will definitely get this again. We shared the cheesecake dessert. In my opinion it was enough to share but it also had great flavor with a graham cracker crust. Bathroom you have to leave and walk down the casino to get to. Service was top notch. I will definitely be back. read more

I usually come here every Tuesday once or a few times a month for their Tomahawk Tuesday 7 course dinner. Everything is pretty good. I feel like they should add more things into the 7 course. If you eat here a lot you're going to want other options. They should add lobster/crab/fish! It use to be $99 dollars now it's $120 for there Tuesday Tomahawk 7 course dinner. The cheesecake is good love having a few bites after the steak. Love dipping my steak into the chimichuri sauce. I feel that it should already be added to your 7 course dinner! But they charge you for that! Service has been good most of the time. For being a regular I only had like 1 or 2 bad servers but I don't see them work here since I don't see them anymore. Other than that this is a bang for your buck for dinner! read more

Tried our hand at the casino and worked up an appetite for some steak. Love the MJ photos and memorabilia along the walls, our server was very attentive, and I love that they wear Jordan's!!

The food never disappoints. It hard to get a reservation and is quite pricey but it is a nice place for special events.

Me and 8 friends ate here for 2 of our birthdays. The waitress provided less than airport restaurant level Service. She never once smiled, She was frustrated that she had a big table and yet still collected a $200 automatic gratuity since our bill was $1200. She brought us all water and then disappeared for 20 minutes, took our drink order and then disappeared for another 20 minutes. The food was mid-level. This is embarrassing for being a Michael Jordan steakhouse and charging what they do. Don't waste your time or money to journey out to to Ridgefield for this steakhouse! read more

We stopped in for an early dinner before a show on Friday night and had a great time. We ordered their surf-n-turf special and a couple of cocktails. The presentation was unique, with the steak, shrimp, lobster and two sides all placed on a wooden cutting board. The portions were perfect and the flavor was delicious. What we were really impressed by, though, was the service and the obvious teamwork that was being demonstrated by the staff. We were seated on the side of the restaurant facing inward so we had a full view of the dining area and noticed that there were all ages, sizes, and backgrounds represented on the crew. They were constantly moving throughout and it was evident that they were taking care of ALL tables (with customers and without customers) as a team, supporting each other, to make sure everything was properly supplied and set. It seemed like the typical phrase, "Not my job," or not my table would never be heard in this establishment. There were two staff who appeared to be management level that were also constantly walking back and forth with eyes and smiles on the entire restaurant. Not sure we've ever seen such effective and positive service choreography. It was delightful to watch this dance and be pampered with the wonderful dishes; and big nods to the team leadership of this restaurant! Can't wait to go back and experience it again. read more

Is pricy but worth it for a great Meal. Try one of their weekly specials. Tomahawk ribeye for two! read more

The food and drinks were awesome. Steak was fabulous, salmon moist and flaky. The very best crab cake I have ever had.

The ambiance was nice and the servers were attentive. The light was low and I didn't mind it. The food is super expensive. I was still pretty satisfied from lunch so I ordered the Poke and the Shrimp Cocktail w/ a Mai Tai Mocktail. My friend ordered a steak and Onion Rings. The Onion Rings were really good. They came with a sauce that was delicious. The Poke was good but nothing to write home about. The Shrimp Cocktail was okay. I probably wouldn't go back unless I planned to order something epic. This restaurant is too expensive for basic food. read more

Enjoyed Mothers Day dinner at MJ Steakhouse, reservations recommended as it gets busy! Staff was very friendly and complimentary. Food was divine - steaks cooked and seasoned perfectly. Everything is ala carte so we got the onion soup and broccolini to accompany dinner. Cake was to go and it's very rich and equal to 4 desserts! The booths are freezing and the casino controls the air so avoid if you don't want to be cold the entire time you're there. My only complaint was the constant cold air blowing on us. read more

The ambiance felt like Dracula was going to pop up at any moment. It was a nice, comfy, & minimal lighting restaurant! The service was great! Dined in for my mom's bday and sadly, they don't do any specials for birthdays. I remember having a bday dinner here and they gave me a birthday card back then. They discontinued that lol. I ordered the Miso King Salmon and I'd rate it a 3/5. It was very oily and salty for my liking. I got my salmon medium and it was cooked perfectly! My parents ordered the 14 oz ribeye and they liked how the steak was cooked & how it paired well with the chimichurri! The only thing was that it was too salty. Baked potato was stellar! BBQ shrimp w/ cheddar grits was okay! 3/5. All in all, it was a good experience! read more

Man on man. I really wanna like this place but I can't. We came in for the sunday night prime rib dinner special for $99.00. Our waiter who was really nice told us that the prime rib might already be sold out. He checked and low and behold they still had some prime rib left. So we ordered the prime rib. Mine end cut and her medium. The bread came out first. We were supposed to get corn bread with our meals but they were sold out. Then came the salad and French onion soup. Not bad. Our prime rib came out and it looked really good. I specifically told the waiter I want a hot temp wise prime rib. Still it was like warm. I still don't understand why they cannot serve a hot steak here. Every time it's luke warm. The wait told me they let the steak rest prior to serving it to you. That's BS serve it to me hot and I will let it rest if I want to. Stupid. Well, I got the end cut and the meat was pretty good. I like my meat done pretty well. She got the medium prime rib and it was not medium at all. Plus it was the fattiest piece of prime rib I have ever tasted or scene. Needless to say, she was pretty dissatisfied. I try to give this place another shot. This was my third time eating there and still no bueno.. I do have to say the service is really good but their steaks which is what they are supposed to be famous for pretty much suck hind tit. I don't think I will be coming back soon. read more
