First time eating at the steak house. The staff was excellent. We got there about 1 half hour before our reservation and got right in. Our server was great his name was Oliver. We had the sweetheart dinner for two ($75.00). The bread was served first. Sundried tomato bread with a pesto butter (yummy). We had our complimentary bottle of wine (Mascado) sweet and very good. Cesar salad with fresh shaved parmesan (great). Then the main course came out. 38oz bone in ribye, two shrimp (tiny), two asparagus spears (large) and mashed potatoes. Steak was cut for us wonderfully done perfect medium rare. Quite a bit of pepper almost to much. It would have been great just salt and the sear was great. P.S alot of fat alot!!!! Shrimp were over powering what ever it was seasoned with but okay. Asparagus al dente and yummy. Potatoes are potatoes (boxed) ashame. Then we finished with chocolate creme brulee. It was wonderful. Came in a small ramekin. It was not creamy like brulee it was way more like mouse. Can't call it brulee but nice. Seasoning should come down abit. I am sure we are not the only customers to say so. Quite loud at times surprising. Over all okay..One time shot. Great people made our night.

Came in to celebrate a friends birthday, ordered the 2 for $75 deal which comes with 2 Caesar salads (served as small heads of romaine that you chop yourself, quite a few pieces of mine being mushy, brown and wilted; and it was barely dressed/topped) a bone in rib-eye steak that they claimed would be big enough to feed 2 adults (it wasn’t, it was Atleast 30-45% fat and was barely even salted, let alone seasoned or buttered), 2 medium sized DRY overcooked shrimp each and 2 stalks of asparagus each and a lunchroom scoop-full of mashed potatoes per person. A slice of grasshopper pie to share for dessert. I also ordered a slice of chocolate cake for an additional $10 for my friends birthday because he doesn’t like mint & the dessert option wasn’t flexible. No problem. However, the steak felt like it was almost all fat, like THICK white inedible fat. It made the dinner hard to enjoy. That whole top and whole bottom slice were fat. About 2 fully edible slices out of the whole steak to share between two people. The steak was more-so medium rare than medium as I had requested. And the sides were lukewarm upon arrival. The free bread and the butter with black salt was absolutely delicious, our favorite part of the meal actually which is telling in itself. The wine tasted quite good as well, we opted for the sparkling white moscato. But I had to refill our own glasses the entire duration of the meal, even my date asked “isn’t the waitress supposed to do that?” If I’d waited for that to happen we wouldn’t have had but a glass each the entire meal, out of an entire bottle we paid for… um, no. I’ll pour my own drink, not a problem. Safe to say we left hungry,by the end of the meal, the plate next to me that was full of tough fat I’d attempted to cut off of the steak was bigger than the pieces I’d actually been able to consume. I would’ve complained about the steak as soon as it came out but it wasn’t brought out by our server and by the time she’d circled back to us, my friend had eaten a few pieces and I didn’t want to get any push back trying to send it back, because of that. I also had a super tough chewy piece of steak (fat) in my mouth so all I could mutter was “we’re ok,” when she quickly did check on us before rushing back off. She however wasn’t rude, in my opinion, she was actually quite friendly and personable during our brief encounters. So please don’t blame her for my poor review. However it’s safe to say I wasted $100 on dinner & I felt so bad because again, it was to celebrate my friends birthday. Id heard good things about this steakhouse and expected a much more pleasureable upscale dining experience. The atmosphere was decent, the re-decoration is okay, I think the entrance and wine archway is the highlight of the ambience of the space. The random deer taxidermist was off putting for me but that’s simply personal preference. The rest of the blue decor in the space was nice and produced a calming mood, I do wish there was louder music (I could hardly hear what was playing) or some sort of entertainment for the restaurant. I think a live jazz band would benefit the space. That would really take it up a notch. I tried to take a cute picture of the meal, as I like to post food photography but this meal didn’t even look appetizing sadly. If you zoom in on the steak you can see how almost every slice has a thick white piece of fat attached to it. I understand ribeyes are a fatty cut, I eat at steakhouses often… this was just a poor quality steak cut chosen (if I had to guess) solely based on the fact that it’s a special promotional price so they don’t care to impress “these type” of customers. Which is really disappointing. We were hotel guests, we spent lots of money on property throughout the duration of our stay, and simply just because we chose to take advantage of a special (that you promote) doesn’t mean we deserve a low quality meal because the special is considered “low” priced for the establishment. (I still paid $100+) Overall, disappointed.

Bone-in NY Strip, taters and asparagus, one drink, plus tip, $120. For the price, just okay. Steak was juicy, bone-on was nice but was overcooked by at least 15 degrees. Ordered medium-rare and received medium-well to well; only pink was in the thicker section. Totally a let down for a $75 cut. Rated at 22oz but doesn't note the bone, just listed as Strip. Would order again and eat here again, just expecting more for the price point and experience. What should one do if this was half the cut for twice the price? Ate the food, didn't insist on a remake and was told other diners shared the same complaint.

First time at Dream Dance. We would call it good, but not great. Especially for the prices. We go to plenty of nice restaurants, so it’s not the cost, it’s the value. Had reservations and got seated right away. Our server was friendly, but not especially personable. The wine and cocktails were good. For food we got the calamari, salad, ribeye and shrimp scampi. The calamari was hot, and crispy. The flavor was okay, but not unique. The ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The steak itself was good flavor, but not as tender as we would have expected. The shrimp scampi was good, but nothing special. The atmosphere was not especially intimate. We had a table in the center of the room. It was loud, from both the diners and music. I suppose if I was at Potawatomi for a show or gambling, and wanted a nice meal, this might be a good choice. We were there only for dinner and not impressed.

Atmosphere was nice and clean with modern look. The onion soup was "okay". Would not get again. The steak was seasoned very well BUT was ice cold as if it had been sitting. The lobster was okay (had to ask for butter) and the mashed potatoes were extremely runny and bland. The other guest mashed potatoes were ice cold. The server was informed of cold items. She brought back a warmer order of mashed but didn't address the cold steak. The king crab risotto was not seasoned (would not get again). Overall, the steak was the best but it was just cold. If the steak was warm, it would have been awesome. Maybe it was just one of those days...#Mo's#Five O'clock... If you go to Dream Dance Steakhouse, get the steak just make sure it's warm.

Decided to give this place another shot years after lackluster performances. Their allegedly "new" menu is the least creative or inspired steakhouse menu ever. It is exactly the basic steakhouse menu for any other establishment. That's fine, if you execute. This place does not. There is nothing that heightens the experience at all, and our $135 porterhouse for two, ordered medium rare, came to the table pre-cut in strips and closer to well done than medium rare. I guess they just hoped we wouldn't notice. I usually am forgiving, but for the money you could go to literally any other steakhouse in Milwaukee and have a better experience. They did not charge us for the steak as we had somewhere to be. We left hungry after paying the $75 bar bill and a $60 tip. If this place was not in a casino, it wouldn't last a year.

I’m a frequent at Potawatomi, but have never eaten at Dream Steak until me and a group of co workers were treated there by our company boss. The atmosphere and customer service was very nice. We were all encouraged to order what we liked, I had the 20oz rib eye with the lobster tail, the twice baked potato, scallop's, sautéed mushrooms, and asparagus. I ordered my steak medium well and they sent it (well done) charred , I couldn’t send it back because a chef once told me never send food back, because you might get something extra next time. So I couldn’t and didn’t eat it which somewhat ruined the moment! Everything else was ok, but it’s Dream Steak and you screw up the steak! Smh it kind of threw everything else off! I’m not sure how the rest of the group enjoyed their food, but there were a lot of doggy bags! I’m pretty sure the bill totaled over a grand, and for me not to enjoy my steak was a HUGE disappointment! Not sure if I’d ever go back! Will probably just stick to the market place. Parking: If dining at Dream Steak, and you don’t want to park in the parking lot, just tell valet your staying at the hotel

We ordered meals that we had previously experienced, and enjoyed. This time, not so much. The server kept over-explaining (the wine price was cheap and hasn’t gone up since they opened; the bottle of wine we ordered would cost twice as much any other place), we did not ask for the comments. He made me feel a bit uncomfortable. We were almost harassed by the front of the house man. The twice baked potatoes smelled of propane. The chicken was not creamy or juicy as it had been in the past. The pretzel crusted onion rings were almost burnt and lukewarm when they were served. The mushrooms were dry. They kept asking if everything was good; it felt like they had new kitchen staff and we were the taste-testers. I would not recommend spending your money with them until they get their act back together.
