Beacon 53

What a beautiful spot! Great place for a Sunday brunch! We had the avocado toast (loved the 2 poached eggs) and the mushroom flatbread, both were very good! Our server, Linda took very good care of us and the other customers. Looking forward to coming back soon!

The atmosphere is top-notch, and they have a broad wine list. Entrees were fantastic and our server, Calyn, did a great job and made for an enjoyable evening. Will definitely be back.

The restaurants atmosphere and decor gives an upscale vibe. We expected a great experience. The hostess was welcoming but the Service was ok. No recommendations were offered. Prices are ok but menu is very simple and short of options. We order the shrimp toast which was really good but the prosciutto was thick and dry. It would had been better with thin crispy prosciutto, the sauce was really good. Our lemonade was from a machine which left an after taste we switched to Pepsi which also had an after taste. The glasses were very pretty. The bread service is just an Italian style bread, one little slice per person with an exaggerated amount of garlic salt and the butter was regular margarine. I would had expected a rosemary or garlic whipped butter and I didn't expect for them to be to so cheap as to provide a little slice of semi warm bread. Ordered the crab cakes they never came. After an hour and 15 minutes our split dinner arrived. For dinner we decided to split the homemade pasta Pappadelle, dish was ok at its best. Not worth an hour wait at all. Sauce was made with new Parmesan not aged so the taste did not have that spark. And way Too much peas for our taste maybe they should add truffles or rustic sundried tomatoes instead or even just fresh grilled Cajun prawns would had lifted the taste. Presentation was ok. My advice as a person that travels around the nation daily and eats at all kinds of places including upscale restaurants. It would be smart for Chef Houston to travel to Miami and try Casablanca and chef Adrian's kitchen. Then tour New York and try Rezdora. That might spark a flare on his dishes. After all we got up and paid the bar tender because our server were m.i.a. Will not return.

Overall, it was a bit pricey, which is expected at a casino. However the service felt very slow and not personal. It took about 35-40 minutes to get our main course. There was also a slight smell of smoke that was faint but noticeable. While I'd recommend it for the great atmosphere and the view, I'm not sure if I would rush to come back.

Came in for date night, Had sarah was our bartender. Food was excellent, drinks were amazing. And absolutely only asking for Sarah from now on.

Very understaff causing us to wait 1 hour and 45 minutes before receiving our food. Drinks took 30 minutes. The servers had no support, no bartender or buster for the tables. The food was cold and not served to order. The drinks were not made properly. The staff was very kind, but will not be coming back due to the lack of staff and lack of management present to assist.

Shining example of fine dining in Southeast Missouri. The wine selection and cocktail menu well accompanied the entree selections and the service chacterized the fine dining experiences. Would recommend

Food was great, we didn't realize the restaurant was in the casino, it's our first time visiting the area. But it was way to get to, just have to walk into the casino and deal with some cigarette smoke. But we were very happy with our meal. Some reasonably priced stuff as well as some expensive stuff, so a good balance. What you'd expect with a casino restaurant. It was dark so we didn't really have a view of the Mississippi, but during the day the view would probably be nice.
