Very good kimchi and tasty dishes! Taste of food seems better than Arirang, but the restaurant does not give a good atmosphere. Arirang is much cleaner than this one.

Tex-mex for the Kentucky palate. Food is good and well spiced. Don't expect authentic Mexican food. Do expect a good meal and good service.

Inside Caesars Casino in Indiana. It has The Villa Buffet and a expansive servicrestaurant. The buffet has a lot of food but too much butter and fat.

If you have out of town or out of country friends who like to gamble a little, try this buffet and wish you win a little too. Air quality is very bad in this Casino in the boat or outside the boat.
