Winter Harvest Salad
Alex P.

The service and ambiance were lovely, quiet and relaxing. I was able to enjoy a dinner before a concert with my mom. We just happened to choose this restaurant because it was convenient and we ended up having a fantastic time. The dishes were cooked to perfection and plated beautifully. I was surprised with a complimentary dessert because it was my birthday. Overall, loved this place and the staff.

Caleb was excellent! We enjoyed another celebration here at the Pines steakhouse for my birthday and concert venue. Our favorite is the fillet and the porterhouse and we also enjoyed the carrots and side. Order of scallops was very delicious.

Ordered two scallops and they were cooked perfectly.
Ryan R.

Our server Scott is incredible. He kept checking in us to see if we needed anything. The only concern with the service was the food took a really a long time. We waited approximately more than an hour to receive our food. We ordered 2 rib eye steaks and 2 orders of scallops. The kitchen was not on point last night. Although my friends and I were busy talking that evening, we were also hungry too! The food was fantastic but the kitchen area needs to step up even if it's busy. 1 hour is too long to wait. If it was short staff in the kitchen, get additional chefs to assist.

First time here for a birthday celebration :) Upon entering there's a large bar and a sitting area where you can grab drinks or look at the steak cuts in their fridge. We were seated 10 minutes after our reservation time and ushered to the dining area. The inside was classy and clean, with low lighting to set the mood and still be visible to walk to your table. Our table was in a corner with kind of a funny gap between me and husband but it was ok, we don't like each other anyways haha Our waiter Kaleb was warm, attentive and funny. He made great wine recommendations to go with our meal. I went with the wine trio with the zin syrah and my husband got his cocktail and 1 glass of red blend. We shared a porterhouse, baked potato, mushrooms. The medium rare was spectacular! We also received lots of complimentary goodies for this special bday celebration. We left feeling satisfied, happy and renewed for more drinks at other casino bars and more gambling! Don't forget to use your club card for 10% off. :)

Innovative melodic atmosphere A retreat. Nicely designed lighting, subdued & relaxing. Comfortable seating. John just the right amount of conversation, not hesitant to give preferences when asked. The Miso Chilean Sea-bass a little sweet for me, but cooked to perfection, very artistically presented, foraged mushrooms delicious. Wild Salmon -tender - again nice presentation, Serving sizes small compared to similar steakhouses. But quality and just right when accompanied with an appetizer and leaves enough room to enjoy dessert with a cup of coffee. Very attentive personable service, enjoyed the evening! Complete Dinner with one glass of wine for 2 - $200

Going back for the millionth time to my favorite steakhouse in California. Service was exceptional today and the server was attentive and made sure our plates were clearer and table was neat/presentable. The food was exquisite like always and I got to try their harvest salad which was light and delightful before the main course. The steak was juicy and cooked perfectly. The Dubai chocolate always hit that sweet tooth that I have. I can't wait back to come back for more.

16 oz Ribeye. Cooked exactly as ordered, this ribeye came out really juicy, tender, and oh so flavorful.
Jenn R.

An upscale restaurant inside the Yaamava casino where reservations are HIGHLY encouraged. You can also walk in, put your name down, and wait to see IF seating is available. Luckily, we waited about 30 minutes before receiving a text that we could be seated, however, it was at the bar. Not a deal breaker, but this is what happens when you don't plan ahead! THE FOOD. - French Baguette & Cranberry Bread (Complimentary). The baguette had a bright tang, while the cranberry bread was more nutty with a gentle sweetness. The trio of spreads were all delicious in their own way: sun-dried tomato butter was herby and savory, balsamic oil brought a sweet-tart pop, and the regular butter (sprinkled with sea salt) kept things classic and rich. - French Onion Soup. The broth was perfectly seasoned and the cheese pull did not disappoint! Highly recommend. - Braised Short Ribs. Incredibly moist, fall-apart tender, and packed with deep, beefy richness. The parsnip purée was silky, the baby carrots tender, and the bulb onions added a satisfying crunch. It was like a refined, deconstructed beef stew. Highly recommend. - 16 oz Ribeye. Cooked exactly as ordered, this ribeye came out really juicy, tender, and oh so flavorful. The side of béarnaise added a buttery, tangy note that rounded out each bite. Highly recommend. - Creamed Spinach. Not your typical heavy creamed spinach. Instead, this version was fresher and lighter, with just enough cheese to add salt and richness. Highly recommend. THE DRINKS. - Thank You for Not Smoking. Smooth with a gentle smoky finish and a comforting hint of cinnamon. It's similar to an Old Fashioned. - Gilded Age. Crisp, subtly sweet, and fruity. I can't quite describe its likeness, but all that kept popping in my mind was an Asian pear. THE PARKING. The north garage connects to the casino via a 425-foot pedestrian bridge on level 4. This is the most direct walking access, and therefore, where everyone tends to park. The south garage is further away but they offer a courtesy shuttle that runs 24/7. THE VERDICT. One of the best steakhouses around! Their outstanding short ribs and ribeye are well worth the drive over. I'll say this again: don't show up without reservations.

Short rib
Sharleen S.

I love coming to Yaamava - and always saw this steakhouse. I had some free money to spend here so, it was my time to try it out! I got their short rib as it was seasonal, it was so delicious. So juicy and tender - fell right off the bone. We also got the parm fries to start and a salad. The salad portion size was SO SMALL but it was okay. It was super flavorful and delicious as well. The fries were a little too parmy for me lol but it wasn't too bad. Our server was amazing and all around service was great. The vibes of the restaurant itself was also super cute and nice. Will be back!

Visited for the first time for 3 different birthdays, including mine. We chose this place because it's in the same place we were going to watch Anjelah Johnson live. Our waiter and his protégé were both very professional and kind. The menu was explained well and we were given great suggestions. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! we all tried a little bit of each plate that was ordered and agreed, each steak, both the japanese and US Wagyu selections, were tender and cooked perfectly. I ordered the short rib plate- it was so tender it slid off the bone, i didn't need my knife to help cut it apart. We got 3 cheesecake desserts (complementary for our birthdays) and the Salted Caramel mousse dessert. Everything from the lighting, the table settings, to the food and service were spot on. We plan to come back and enjoy another special night of indulging our appetites.

Prawn scampi
Cheryl A.

Sat at the bar because I was hoping for a quick bite before seeing a show. It was the exact opposite as the bartenders, especially my server, were busy tending to other things... It took forever for my order to be taken and to get the check. Wish the prawn scampi included another prawn at least for $47, otherwise it was good.

Johnnie C.

Nice restaurant, but definitely overpriced for some items. They prefer reservations, but will sit you around the bar after a wait if you don't have them. We had two King Crab Legs ($75), wedge salad chopped up. Also a few drinks. They give you bread and butter complimentary. The wait staff are attentive and friendly and service is fairly quick. Not bad for NYE, but will return soon.

Tempura Fried Calamari
Angela C.

Came here for a dinner celebration for a friend's milestone birthday. Service was impeccable, and the food was fantastic. Our sommelier was well versed in various wines and overheard some of us talking about a particular wine, so he shared some info about what he knew to us. We had everything served to us family style so we were all able to try different things that our host ordered for us. While the clientele can vary and they apparently don't enforce any kind of dress code (the table sitting next to us had a gentleman in his white tank top like my dad used to wear when he is sitting on the couch on a hot day) overall the ambiance was very modern and upscale. I really enjoyed our dinner here and would recommend it if you are spending time at Yaamava.

Kristine S.

Food was amazing and worth every dime ... from the bar tenders to our waitress..this restaurant definitely beats the Serrano Buffet

Very small restaurant so highly recommend getting a reservation. We tried many items from the menu. I really liked the steak tartare which tasted of truffle and loved that they had different things to add on top as well. It was really good steak and not at all chewy. The soup du jour was a creamy caramelized onion soup which was decadent and so good. For my entree I got the seafood pot which I liked but wasn't obsessed with. The curry was very thin and the seafood felt a bit overcooked for me. But the taste was good, just wish the curry was a thicker paste than a liquid soup texture.
