During my stay at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, I dined at the resort’s steakhouse American Cut. The stylish space is dimly lit with leather seating and dark, rich wood accents.

I dined with a group and we all shared several menu items. I ordered a pre-dinner cocktail, Misty Mountain Hop, with gin, aloe vera, mint, elderflower tonic and cucumber. It was a refreshing start to the meal. One of my favorite steakhouse dishes is a seafood tower, so I was thrilled when American Cut’s version arrived to the table. It included oysters, clams, shrimp and lump crab with cocktail sauce. Following the light seafood starter, I switched to wine and enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc with my meal.

Dishes arrived to the table as they were prepared. From the appetizer section, we enjoyed a crab cake with remoulade and slaw, double-smoked bacon with a whiskey glaze, and a wagyu meatball with ricotta. Each appetizer offered different flavor profiles. While all were delicious, I would most likely order the meatball again.

My eyes were bigger than my stomach during the appetizer course and I felt full before the main courses arrived. I made sure to sample the rest of the dishes, as they all looked quite tempting! The entrées included steak, pork chops and halibut with sides of Brussels sprouts, macaroni and cheese, mushrooms and mashed potatoes. The halibut was the most surprising dish. It was prepared in a seafood broth with shellfish and fennel.

American Cut is a true crowd pleaser. The restaurant offers steakhouse classics alongside inventive dishes, perfect for diners with a variety of palates. Make sure you book a reservation, as the restaurant fills up quickly.
