The waiter told us that Henry’s steaks are USDA-prime and butchered in house for freshness, so I was sold. Not sure why they named a salad dressing after a Greek philosopher, and sadly, I am none the wiser for eating it. Our well-deserved dinner started with a nice bottle of wine from Sonoma County (they have over 700 wine selections!) and Henry’s Five Onion Soup and Wedge Salad, with smoked bacon, pickled onions, grape tomatoes, herb croutons and Henry’s special Socrates Dressing. It was Friday night, the end of a tough work week, so we decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner at Henry’s Steakhouse. You’ll find five restaurants to satisfy almost every palate – from steak and seafood to sushi, Mexican cuisine and 24-hour café fare. We had already seen almost every movie in town, so it was time to do something different.įirst off, I was amazed at how many dining options were on site. There’s a smattering of Indian casinos within my immediate area, but the Red Hawk was so close, we decided to check it out one night. Recently, I went with my guy to the Red Hawk Casino in Placerville, California. It’s like taking a mini vacation, just a few miles from home. You’ll find chef-prepared food, live music, dancing, comedy, fully stocked bars and, what should be music to the ears of parents everywhere - babysitting services! These casinos also happen to be places for a great night out on the town – or a fun daytrip - for you and your special someone. Many of these gaming centers offer much more than a hand of blackjack and a spin on the roulette wheel. Lynn lives in Northern California.ĭo you live in a town with an Indian casino close by? They are popping up so quickly everywhere, more than likely, your answer is, “Yes.” If you think those casinos are just places to throw your money on a table and hope for the best, I would ask you to reconsider.
