My 78 year old mother who thinks pepper is too much flavor was deeply underwhelmed by her 8oz filet. The only modification she made was no peppercorn sauce- but I didn't think that meant no seasoning at all! Tasted like meat and the char from the grill. Will say that the potato puree, Mac and cheese and toffee cake were good. I got the prefix beef wellington, and though well made, again the same issue, flavorless. Drinks were good! Must try espresso martini. My advice, come for the sides and the cocktails, and find your main dinner somewhere else. Especially at their prices.

So disappointed to write this review, but the establishment left me no choice. We stopped by here…read morebefore an event/performance. My husband had a beer while I walked around. One beer. He paid with a credit card and left a cash tip and then we headed into the event. When the credit card bill arrived, the charge was $48. Ummmm.... What? I wanted him to call the bar before disputing the charge with the credit card. I figured management would want to know their bartender added a $33-plus tip to his bill (on top of the cash tip he left) and have the ability to issue a credit and make it right. They said they'd locate the receipt and get back to him. He called again, maybe 5 days later, and they basically said the same thing. It's been another five days. He still hasn't heard from them. I recommend avoiding this establishment. Or at least don't use a card if you do go. Pay cash so you can't be massively overcharged. So disappointed in management for not even calling us back.

It was okay, seating but pretty drab. Don't think they have the dueling pianos any more.read more

His customer service and hospitality is what keeps us coming back although my parter and I are no longer weekly visitors we do try to always make a stop here when we are in town.

The feel of this area is almost nostalgic listening to old classic songs as music videos played on the tvs. The only thing we miss is our bartop black jack game.

Ok this place caught me by surprise. I was thinking it was going be a large restaurant because you…read morecannot see it from the road, but they have a large street sign. For years I've been wanting to try this place. After an outing in the Desert with my sister-in-law, we decided to try this restaurant it would be both our first time. My sister-in-law and I walked into the restaurant and found the place to be very busy as you would expect at dinner time. The crowd was mostly elderly, could be regulars. For appetizers, we ordered the potato skins. For our meals, I ordered the special of the day, Seabass with pilaf, and vegetables. My sister-in-law ordered the soft crab cake. And before our appetizer and meals arrived we were served a basket of rolls which looked like regular rolls, but when you bit into them, they were warm and very tasty. Both of our meals were very good. Sadly we had no room for dessert. Where our table was situated, we could see pretty much the entire restaurant. The only thing that was not visible was the sitting bar but everywhere you sat, you would be looking out a window. It is all around the windows. One of the window area they had hummingbird feeders hanging, and you could see the hummingbirds haven't their dinner as well. Service was very friendly. I would love to come back and try some other items on their menu..

Center Bar is, not surprisngly, in the center of Pala Casino…read more The best part of Center Bar is the stage above and behind the bar that features a full calendar of live music. The worst part is $9 pints of beer and the indifferent service from the bartenders. This was our go-to bar during our stay at Pala. We were part of a large group staying at the hotel as we were all attending a wedding nearby. The bar's central location made for a convenient meeting spot. The bar is large with a lot of bar top seating and even more 4-tops behind. The live music was great and pumped up the energy and vibe of the entire place. As mentioned, service was a bit indifferent and typically pretty slow. Not a lot of bartender/patron interaction, they were really busy at night, so understandable. Yet even during morning hours when it was slow the bartenders weren't especially personable.

Worth the price of admission…read more Drinks are reasonably priced and the entertainment is well worth the visit. Bartenders are quick and have heavy pours. I'll be back for sure.

There's plenty of eateries and bars with live entertainment, even a gift shop. The casino itself is modern, clean, and has spotless restrooms. We started with a hearty breakfast and coffee at Pala Cafe, which was awesome. The staff here is super friendly and stepped in to help whenever we looked lost. A hotel guest even went out of her way to tell us how much she loved her room stay. Game-wise, they have a good variety from penny slots to high rollers, plus a great mix of classic machines. Like any casino, the slots are hit-or-miss; some pay out a bit, others are tight. Although there's a smoke-free area, the smell lingers so I did see some people wearing masks due to the smell. We loved the outdoor patio with umbrella tables for a quick breather. Overall, we had a fun experience and will definitely be back!

Posting this as a warning to anyone visiting Pala…read more We stayed over Memorial Day weekend and were incorrectly charged over $800 at the pool. It took more than a week to get the issue resolved. Unfortunately, my family visited again this past weekend (June 4-7, 2026) and experienced another problem. This time, we were charged at a restaurant and sports bar that we never visited. As of today, no one from the casino has contacted us to apologize or make things right. We've spent hours on the phone with both our bank and the casino, with no meaningful resolution other than having to cancel our credit cards ourselves to prevent the charges from going through. We are extremely disappointed. Our family has been coming to Pala for more than 25 years, and it's upsetting to experience these issues. If these unauthorized charges are happening to other patrons as well, that is very concerning. What a shame to see a place we've enjoyed for so many years leave us feeling this way.

The hours of operation for Luis Rey's Sports Bar at Pala Casion suck…read more A "sports" bar not open for sports. College football kicks off at 9:00 AM on the west coast and lasts literally all day. Luis Rey's doesn't open until 4:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. The NFL kicks off at 10:00 AM on Sundays. Luis Rey's doesn't kick off until 1:00 PM. Sunday Night Football? You might miss the end of the game as Luis Rey's closes at 9:00 PM. They close at 9:00 on Thursdays also, so the end of the Thursday Night Football game is in jeopardy also. Monday Night Football? Forget it. Luis Rey's is closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We never actually went to Luis Rey's. We stayed one night at Pala on a Saturday; we were attending a wedding nearby. We had to get to the venue about the time Luis Rey's opened, and we didn't return until after they closed. Looked like a decent bar. If only they were open when sports are being televised.

Saturday August 15, I dined at Bar Meets Grill. As all past reviews suggest, I am an unapologetic…read morefan of the place, of the great place, and of the simply nice and fun people who work there. That has not changed over the years except in the sense it is better each week I am there. Bar Meets Grill is at the hotel end of the casino, looking out on the open space and pool area. One benefit, no smoking -- every non-smoker's dream -- in it or by it. So you can relax, great ventilation and air conditioning where needed, and excellent food without the taint of cigarette or cigar smoke spoiling your evening. It is far enough away from the band for good conversation, open aired, not walled in, to make you feel part of the casino while still enjoying private dining. Saturday night, Fidel took great care of me as always. With visits by Chef Mark, Reed, Sean, Dino, Ashley, Tiffany, Behrooz, Artie, Sarah, Aron and Maryam from hosts and managers, and Marlene, Bobby (a Vikings fan, but outside of Chicago no one's perfect), and Jose from the bar team, I swear if was as if you are dining with family and close friends. And honestly, that's pretty much how it is. The food, well, superlatives are not exaggerations where accurate. A great wine list, with excellent options by the glass, mixed drinks as well. Appetizers preceded by special breads, I went with the BMG salad. Light, lemon vinagrette, chopped, tomatos, onions, just very light and flavorful without being filling. For the entree, it was the ribeye steak, medium rare, baked potato -- old fashion perfect dinner which will never run its time. Chef Mark and Chef Carlos are among the best, and now they have three other chefs, two women, one man, who are learning under them and doing beyond well. They work as a great team together, and want every guest, new or a regular, to love the place and return over and over again. One new chef, Cindy, has been grilling steaks I order of late. The steaks are the best they have ever been, but the preparation and temperature is better than ever. Perfectly cooked week after week throughout the steak. Medium rare is always medium rare, could not be better prepared by Cindy. Baked potato as well. Sometimes you want just great food and nice people -- well, you found it here. Plain and simple, Bar Meets Grill is a great place with even better people. They are upbeat and fun, know the menu and best options, the chefs will offer input, and you then sit back and enjoy. No rushing, no hassles, just time sitting back and having a great evening with a few hours off feeding slot machines, doubling down on a hand and holding your breath, or craps, any other game, and having the best of time alone or with family and friends. If you've not been there, just try it - you'll be back again and again.

We came here as a group of 7 after a Saturday morning activity and this place was lovely!…read more I love how beautiful the front bar space is, a very green and shaded area, almost reminded me of being in the Caribbeans. I immediately fell in love with the place. They have lots of great beers on tap so you won't be lacking in options. Since I definitely sweated it out a lot this morning, I opted for a michelada. I also ordered ceviche, which is available on Fri and Sat and they use tilapia to make the ceviche. Service was a little slow but I wasnt in a rush, so no big deal. Food and beverage were good! I enjoyed coming here and would come back when in the area!
