The service was top notch. The food was great (some items a little pricey). The drinks were fantastic

We've been going to American Cut at Ocean for years so when I saw that it was renamed and had low reviews on Yelp I was instantly upset. I really enjoyed the steaks and the atmosphere. However, I canceled my reservation on the spot and moved on. A few days later I decided to take a closer look at the reviews because it seemed unlikely the restaurant could have gone downhill that quickly and I'm glad I did. I rebooked a table and went in with an open mind. Low and behold the restaurant was unchanged as well as the staff...and that's a good thing. Every single table was booked and everyone was chomping away on great steaks. We had the usual, which included a tomahawk steak and a variety of other items. Everything was just as good as last time and delivered in a logical and timely manner. The smoked bar drinks were also great and arrived quickly. Service was impeccable and professional, as usual. Pricing is actually on point if you consider the quality of the food and alcohol as well as the type of establishment. No complaints. So, what's with the wave of negative reviews on here? No idea. My hunch is that, given the variety of customers Ocean gets, from different geographical locations, some of them are simply unfamiliar with good steak houses. I also see some people complaining about their steaks being cooked properly? Come on now, I've been here dozens of times and the steaks were always cooked perfectly. If you're reading this review and are on the fence, trust me, this is the place to be if you want a good steak in AC. Keep up the good work everyone at the restaurant. See you next time. read more

Came here for dinner on Saturday night. I was so excited to goto a new steakhouse I haven't been to & try. To start we split a ceaser salad. It was good, nothing to write home about. For dinner I had the surf & turf. The filet was tough and so charred on the outside It was almost inedible. Lobster was ok same with spinach. Only reason I am giving 2 stars is because service was great, definitely not going back for food. read more

We were seated on Wednesday evening and waited for what seemed like an inordinate amount of time to get menus. Approximately 5 to 10 minutes. After that everything was fantastic. The server Patrick was very attentive. He was friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered the smoke on the water and as far as I could tell it was straight bourbon with a big ice cube. Not what I expected. Perhaps I was given the wrong drink or the bartender made the wrong drink. In any event that was the worst part of the evening. On the other hand, the steaks, salad and sides were amazing. The fillet was perfectly cooked with a nice char on the outside. The puréed potatoes and the five cheese mac & cheese were unbelievable. The Caesar salad was also very tasty. I can't wait to go here again. Don't let the mixed reviews fool you. This is definitely worth a try. read more

I'm surprised by the low ratings for American Cut at Ocean Casino. We always eat dinner at Amada, even going back to when the property was still Revel. However, our most recent visit to Ocean was on a Wednesday so Amada was closed. We decided to try American Cut and were very happy with our meals. We started off sitting in the lounge area to enjoy the happy hour. A $9 martini was a pretty good deal in Atlantic City. The raw bar oysters were excellent. The clams, however, were barely passable. One was spoiled and I had to spit it out it was so bad. The server took the one spoiled clam off the check. I probably should have told her the others weren't much better. But other than the clams, everything else was excellent. At dinner my wife and I shared the 18 ounce New York strip with the blue cheese. We also shared a wagu meatball that was amazing. And we had the crispy brussel sprouts with bacon which went well with the steak. We were too stuffed to try dessert but I'm sure the dessert options are probably very good as well. read more

Decided to come here after a failed reservation at another restaurant on property, and it turned out to be 1 of the best meals of the trip. I ordered the rib filet medium rare and let my husband try it, he had the lobster, and he's still talking about how soft and flavorful it was. I had only been here previously for happy hour, which was ok, but dinner was definitely an experience. read more

First of all the place is gorgeous. Very sexy steakhouse vibes. The food is the next best thing. I'm surprised it's 3 stars because I cannot explain how delicious everything was. We got a French onion soup which was by far the best French onion I've ever had (even in France). Then the crispy tuna which was more of an American take on it but still that rice was perfectly crispy and the tuna was phenomenal. Of course we needed a beet salad because if its on the menu it's getting ordered no matter when or where. Then the main event-- the ny strip with a few sides. The mac and cheese, the cauliflower au gratin and the Brussels sprouts. The strip was a perfectly cooked medium rare with a nice amount of searing on it. Honestly was missing a bit of salt but that's a quick fix. The cauliflower was probably my favorite bite of the night. We paired the meal with a bottle of Albariño and ended with creme brûlée and a few martinis. Really no complaints and will for sure be back for another dinner here at some point. read more

Located inside the Ocean Resort & Spa Casino- even during a global pandemic, they pumped out delicious dishes with exceptional service. They made sure everyone was served in a timely manner so that the restaurant would be empty by 10pm- as per the law For app I had the Caesar salad, for entree I had the filet mignon with creamed spinach and lobster Mac and cheese. For dessert I had their ice cream. Everything tasted good though I wasn't a fan of the dessert, the presentation was cute. Will definitely return and highly recommend making a reservation at this Steakhouse read more

Ocean steak inside the Ocean hotel. Looked beautiful when walking in and came highly recommended. It was extremely busy. We asked the hostess for a table in a quiet area so that we could celebrate our birthdays together... she said us directly next to another table where we could literally reach over and grab their salt shaker! I asked her to move us. She rolled her eyes and reluctantly found something better of course... The music was what she called, retro punk, it was extremely loud we could not hear each other speak and it wasn't conducive to the ambience of a two to $300 stake dinner. She said it was the manager's choice when I complained and that they couldn't change it because that's what he likes... It would've been great music for the CASINO floor but for a very expensive steak dinner celebration the music was not appropriate. The spinach salad was delicious. That's why I gave it. Three stars in addition to our server who was also excellent. Other than that, I would've given this one star... The steak was a ribeye. It came out, medium rare I asked for rare. It was extremely fatty and it was so salty that I couldn't eat it. She offered something else on the menu, but there was no other steak on this particular restaurant week menu... Needless to say I did not eat the steak. My husband had the lamb chops and he said they were very good. I would not return here, having gone to Atlantic City many times council Oak is so much better and that's in the hard Rock hotel! also, Ruth Chris is absolutely delicious also in Atlantic City. These are two places I highly recommend for steak dinner. The manager who likes punk retro should not be in a high-end steakhouse with high-end prices... He should be out on the CASINO floor dancing to the music! this morning, I had steak and eggs at Sunny's, which is another restaurant at Ocean and the steak was much better than the steak I had at the steakhouse! read more

The bone-in rib eyes were excellent. My husband had crab cake for an appetizer and huge shrimp on top of his steak. All outstanding. The creme brulee and 7 layer chocolate cake had no complaints. Jade, our waitress was outstanding. The only complaint was the noise, couldn't hear a conversation on top of the blaring music which didn't afford a good ambiance. $285. for dinner with no alcohol is a bit pricey but expected in a 5-star hotel. Would return. read more

Great food and service. Cool ambience. Meal was expensive but hey, it's a steakhouse in an AC hotel. Definitely one of the better meals I've had recently. It gets a bit noisy, so just be aware read more

We sat at the bar and ordered some drinks and then decided to order some food. We had eaten a big lunch, so we weren't starving. We started with the chopped salad. It was really delicious. I don't know what they put in their salad dressing, but it had a hint of something sweet in there, and it was a perfect balance with the generous amount of feta cheese. We then ordered a filet and a mac and cheese. We shared all of these items and it was more than enough food for the two of us. In fact, we couldn't finish everything. I would definitely return to this restaurant. I was very impressed. read more

Went there yesterday, a Tuesday night so it wasn't overly busy however the service was awful! Waiter took my order for a drink and said he'd be back for my husband's drink order and he never came back. The dirty plates sat on our table as they brought the next course. No one came back to our table to check with us. Never got a water refill as the comped tables around us got service. $300 later...we will never go back. read more

We had Christmas dinner and we each had a mixed drink first they were very good. My wife started with the Roasted Beet salad she said it was good. I had OG 1924 hotel Caesar must have been made back then. The bowl was filled so high with chopped romaine and croutons. The problem is it had no taste no garlic, anchovies, lemon, egg etc. The dressing was very watery not good at all. I said something to our server and agreed with me. We shared the Delmonico steak cooked perfectly and tasted great. Had two cappuccinos in very small cups with no froth tasted like crap. Service was very good. read more

We wanted to stay on property for dinner at the Ocean Hotel. We made reservations at American Cut. Great romantic and dark ambiance for a date night. Multiple dining rooms and a classic bar. Open kitchen and fantastic selection of meats. We shared the porterhouse. So juicy, so well seasoned and tender! 10/10! Service was efficient and the five cheese mac n cheese was everything and highly recommended. read more

I thought this was great! Really no complaints except maybe the high price. Went with my kids. No kids menu which was a little disappointing only bc paying full price for them wasn't expected. They did highly enjoy the filet mignon and mashed potatoes. I wouldn't get the fried burrata again. It wasn't expecting it to be cold inside. Service was also fantastic. read more

Decided to try American Cut during one of my AC weekend getaways a while back when i stayed at Oceans resort. I took the elevator up one flight from the Casino floor and the entrance to the restaurant was smack dab in front of me when I got off of the elevator. I had high expectations of this place upon entering ,but was sadly disappointed with my meal! I sat at the bar and ordered a ribeye well done with mashed potatoes to go. The 2 stars is just for the bartender and his drinks. He was friendly and attentive and his drinks were strong. I can't remember what I ordered to drink but I remember it was kicking! Atmosphere was loud and lively. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. I liked the ambience, the entire place it was dimly lit, including the bar area. The Music was cool, while I sat sipping I heard some r & b, rock and pop. I also indulged in brief conversation with a bar mate next to me from Newark. He advised me that he was a regular there and had no complaints. He ordered his food to eat at the bar and it looked so good, so I was definitely expecting mine to be just as good! When my food was handed to me I checked to make sure my steak was well done like I ordered and it was not. I informed the bartender and he apologized and sent it back to the kitchen. About 10 minutes later they handed me another another steak which I did not check until I got to my room. I assumed it was properly cooked per my request, big big mistake. The minute I cut into it I saw nothing but pink. I was extremely disappointed, for one, I am not a fan of medium rare or rare meat of any sort. Second, that piece of meat was pretty pricey! If I ever go back there, I'll make sure to eat at the bar or get a table. The Take out route is not the best one when dealing with this establishment. read more

We visited Center Cut in Ocean Casino, AC for happy hour. The restaurant's decor is modern and upscale. The happy hour menu is limited but there are great choices to pick from.

Steak is good but not worth the money spent. Their steak sauce tastes like ketchup with a hint of Worcestershire. We had their 40oz tomahawk steak which was smaller than I expected. It was good but not great. I prefer my wife's steak. Baked potato, Brussels sprouts, and Cobb salad were good. Service was excellent. Ambience- music was loud. Luckily it was not crowded, but if it were the tables are really close together. read more

Terrible experience we made reservations and still had to wait an hour. I understand 20 minutes, but an entire hour is insane and when I told the person at the front desk he immediately sat us down. The waiter then asked us if we were going to the show and I said yes. he said I recommend you order immediately If you wanna make the show in time. I said "no we wanna enjoy our meal" We're not worried about it. There are acts prior to the main Show that we're not interested in. he seemed to continue to pressure us to order fast and would not let it go. It was very clear that they overbooked and wanted us in and out of the door. The appetizers were cold. The steak was so tough It was like shoe leather the center was pink and all surrounding areas were well done even though we asked for medium. I've been to some of the best steakhouses out there. I would pay 1,000 dollars for a meal if it's good this just wasn't worth the price. read more

Decided to give this place a try despite their poor reviews. Absolutely loved it! Once seated, you are offered an assortment of bread which was so delicious! My husband is a lamb chop lover and really enjoyed his meal. We had a side of the 5 cheese mac which was good. My salmon was also good and had the right amount of salt and flavor. Our drinks were good and strong! Truly wish I remembered our waiter's name. He was so attentive and kind. I would recommend this place despite the poor reviews. read more

This is a place attempting to be a classic NY Steakhouse. Not only does it fail because of inconsistent food, but not having, or enforcing a dress code is just plain ridiculous. I don't mind spending $300+ for a good steak dinner with some nice wine, but when we're seated for Saturday night dinner next to a table of people dressed in shorts, sneakers, t-shirts, and backwards baseball caps on one side and a couple dressed in grey sweat pants in TANK TOPS on the other side, this will be our last visit. Is management afraid of turning away customers? Someone at this establishment needs to step up and take control of this mess. It is an embarrassment! read more

This place is amazing, but the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because it's so incredibly pricey. My boyfriend and our friend went out to the Casino during my birthday and went here super last minute because we were hungry. Somehow we actually got in (very shocked considering it was February and COVID was still running rampant) and were able to sit in the cute lounge table area.. which I actually like better than the regular seating. I I wish I could model my house after this ambience and furniture. Drinks were great, those everything breads were to die for. But.. the star was the rib chop filet. My God.. I will never taste anything as good as this. I just wish it wasn't that expensive! read more

Made a reservation months in advance for 9/20 in anticipation of having dinner here prior to the Sebastian comedy show. Our reservation was for 6:30pm. We arrived a few minutes prior to 6:30 and were told by one of the hosts that a table was being cleaned off and we would be seated soon. At 6:45 I asked for an update and was told by a different host that a table was paying and we would be seated soon. At 6:55 I asked again and was told that a party should be leaving soon. We were then seated at 7:00pm. Our waitress was quick and very polite. We placed our entire tables order by 7:10pm as we were in a rush due to the comedy show starting at 8pm. By 7:45 I informed our waitress that If we did not have our food in the next 10 minutes we would be leaving. She came back shortly after and advised the timing would likely not work out so I informed her we would be leaving. I did tip our waitress as she did bring us sodas and this was not her fault at all. It was nice that we did not have to pay for the sodas even though we drank them. While I don't believe it was the hosts fault either as they are just the messengers for management in most cases, it would have been nice to be informed from the start that it would be a 30 minute wait even with our reservation as we could've chosen a different place to eat. We were not able to eat anything prior to the comedy show, after our 3 hour drive to Atlantic City, and one member in our party had to miss the show to grab a quick bite as he is diabetic. Extremely disappointed with our whole experience and even more disappointed to see that the owner can respond to positive reviews on Google but not negative ones read more

No idea why so many other reviews were negative. My friends and I thought the American Cut was fantastic. They are located inside the Ocean Casino Resort, but in a corner off to the left. I had been inside so many times but for some reason never went to this restaurant. I will definitely go back now. They have a direct ocean view from the waiting area and bar. The atmosphere is very dark and sophisticated... Which is perfect for a steakhouse. Other than the steaks, the raw bar, craft cocktails, and sides are all worth trying. I thought that the service was very sophisticated, especially in the way they brought it out everything on the carts. Although they are pricey, I think the value is worth it. Just come hungry. I made the mistake of having a big lunch before I went. read more

I came here to celebrate my birthday. The appetizers are very good, I quite thoroughly enjoyed the calamari. We also ordered some clams, east and west coast. We ordered the porterhouse steak and it was a little towards the rare side and we ordered it medium rare, I enjoyed the tender steak and it came with house sauce. I generally don't like loud places but that's quite fine if there is amazing food involved. It's a huge area and I was able to determine which dishes I wanted by observing the other tables. Now for dessert, I am not the dessert time but there is one that would always tug on my heartstrings. The Tahitian crème brûlée and it was served with ripe fruits and the sugar was just crispy enough to enjoy. Our server Brad was very pleasant and very professional, he did get me for a bit since he kept saying there were dancers coming. I enjoyed his service and the food at this establishment, I highly recommend this area in my favorite casino! read more

This review is only for the bar , we haven't eaten in the restaurant , because we find the seating to close to other diners. The bar is fabulous. The staff know how to make fantastic cocktails, and they're very warm and welcoming. We drank at this bar several times, and it was always a enjoyable experience. If you want a more intimate experience, the seating in lounge is very comfortable. read more

Food: 3/5 Not the best but not the worst. We ordered east and west coast oysters, two NY strips medium rare, a salmon medium rare, mashed potatoes, asparagus, 2 glasses of Chardonnay, 2 draft beers and 2 cocktails. The east coast raspberry points were excellent. The salmon was very fresh and clean. It was served over a bed of quinoa and had a hint of lemon. The NY strips weren't the best. They cut off the fat before serving which I thought was strange because it's a strip. The asparagus was par and the mashed potatoes were excellent. It was cooked with truffle oil and might be the best I've ever had. With tip and tax, the bill was roughly $310 for a party of 3. Service: 5/5 Our waiter was very attentive and on point. Our beverages never went empty and he was very accommodating. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is gorgeous. The seating area is beautiful and they have a no hat policy. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in Ocean. Great dining and bar scene. read more

Horrible... I was told if I'd SMILED AT THE M ( the men) then they'd might've seated my disabled parents closer(which I'd kindly requested a hour before our reservation , smh ) . We had this problem six months ago on New Year's, but I thought I'd give them a second chance because everyone's deserves that. However, the manager boosted he'd been in the business 25 years and I'm thinking he would know the elderly have a lot of medical problems, to include I'm no spring chicken myself, plus they don't need to know my medical issues. They ABSOLUTELY discriminated against us because of DISABILITIES and AGE!! Manager could not even tell me how many seats in the restaurant were available for the handicap in compliance with the ADA, the American disabilities act. Furthermore, they sat us under a vent and put it full blast freezing cold. I ordered a hot tea immediately that came out cold, and then asked for a new one and they seem disgruntled. Our order was simple not much fanfare we did not order any alcohol. I'm seeing exactly what they're doing and not doing. If you order alcohol, their wines, or their drinks, then they are paying extra special attention to you. In addition to if you're in a large crowd of people that are under 55 years old than they are at your beckon call. They clearly are discriminating against the elderly and anyone with disabilities by placing them in the back of the restaurant where is most difficult to maneuver and then they want the patrons to place their scooters, or walkers out front out of their purview in unsecured areas, that's leaving them victims of potential crimes. Now ask for the food, it's just flabbergasting. I ordered a filet mignon to be cooked Well done, they sent me a filet mignon that was red inside. Look at the pictures and see for yourselves. I told the waiter and he wanted to put it under the broiler for me. We all know if he had placed that under the broiler that it would've been like beef jerky! WOW! I also ordered the shrimp that was supposed to come with garlic and butter sauce. Instead, it came with a wine and cream sauce with lemon and you couldn't even see like there was no lemon on it, but it was so sour and tart like I could smell it it was rancid and I was like why are they serving this to me and I just put my fork in the sauce and I said sir this is not butter and garlic sauce. The menu clearly says shrimp with butter and garlic sauce. It says nothing about wine or cream or lemon. So can anyone help me out here tell me what you think? I could even look at the plate and see like something was wrong with the sauce? Not once did the manager or any manager come to the table. I had to tell the server to take the shrimp off of the receipt, Which really didn't matter because my comps covered the bill. It was only a matter of principle. I went upstairs to report this and then the manager and the chef both report there and were trying to tag team me and I was like what is going on here?? Moral of the story is, the manager said to me, that if I had smiled to the host, Michael, when I had requested handicapped seating for my parents, and then smiled at the server/waiter, and throughout the dining experience, then I would've got the food cooked correctly ... Oops and don't let me forget and then we would've been seated in the correct spot for them to be a closer instead of the back of the restaurant. After reading other reviews, I'm truthful and I know they're doing something wrong against humanity. They need to be investigated by the federal government for DISCRIMINATING against the elderly and for people with disabilities. IMAGINE THIS MANAGER TOLD ME IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ME, MY ATTITUDE, AND IF I'D SMILED THEN WE WOULD'VE GOT BETTER SERVICE. ...maybe I can't smile because I have facial paralysis , did he ever think about that? read more
