Cavanugh's

I adore coming here. From the people to the ambience to the food, it is all incredible. I have never had a negative experience.I am usually by myself but had my Mother (82) with me last week and they all made a big fuss over her. She felt so special and wants to come back soon....too bad she lives in Wisconsin :(The lovely staff make this restaurant what it is!!!I need to shout out some names... Amariah, Sergey, Josh, Anna, Ashley, Aiden, Shannon. These people all excel at their jobs. I own and run a restaurant and this level of professionalism is very difficult to find.I would recommend the chicken breast, bone-in or the 7 oz filet. The wedge salad is a favorite that I order time and time again.My favorite restaurant (besides my own of course :) )Thank you for creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere!!!Victoria

Our very first visit here...This is part of Bally's Casino in Evansville, Indiana so it would not be fare to compare to places we have dined at in Las Vegas at casinos. We made reservations in advance and were seated right away upon our arrival. The staff was very polite and professional. Our table was by the window with a river view. The restaurant was nicely dimmed and the atmosphere was one of fine dining. The singing piano player in the bar area was an unexpected surprise and was very enjoyable. We started our meal with a couple of appetizers, my wife had the French Onion Soup and found it tasty. I had the Tuna Poke, it was ok but can't say I would order it again. For our dinner my wife had the Prime Rib (which comes by itself). I had a chef feature the Blackened Redfish over Corn salsa. We split an order of Augratan Potatoes. Wifey loved the Prime Rib and she knows her prime rib!!! The Potatoes were a hit!!! The fish was good but would have been helped with a little more blackening and some more viscous sauce. The bread accompanying the meal was fresh but does not come warm to the table. A nice touch was the fresh roasted garlic that comes with the butter. The meal was very enjoyable and filling, service as great! Only reason I don't do five stars is I save that for places that go above and beyond. Dinner for 2 was about $150. We felt that was a fare price for what we received. Nice stop for a weekend getaway dinner.

First off the food is very good. The steaks were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The service was pretty good as well. Dinner for 2 was $200 which is what I was expecting for our anniversary dinner. The view of the river is very picturesque. The atmosphere was worth $35. The dense cigarette smoke from the casino is inescapable. There was a guy on piano who was basically Great Value brand Randy Newman playing and singing loudly. So loudly that even though we were at the opposite end on the restaurant, it was disruptive. The tables are close together so on a Saturday night there was no way to have a private conversation with a group right next to us talking loudly. I'm glad I went since it is a notable place to eat in town, but we won't be back. There are better options in town with better atmosphere, at a better price, and in completely non-smoking buildings.

Lovely upscale restaurant situated on the Ohio River. The bar is a nice last minute option, and window tables make for a stellar dinner with a view overlooking the water. Nice cocktail list too.

One of our favorite places to celebrate! We enjoy sitting by the window near the fireplace and piano to enjoy the river views, music and fireplace ambience. Definitely make reservations for a more enjoyable experience!Now for the food-My filet was cooked perfectly and I added asparagus which were served with hollandaise sauce- delish! My husband had prime rib and a baked potato-which was huge and he said was amazing. We ended our meal by choosing 1 of their desserts from the dessert tower, which we picked a red velvet dessert! It was delicious! Great experience! We will definitely be back!

Great food, great shrimp, great big portions...only drawback...expensive. Therefore 4 out of 5.

Great Filet Mignon, Wedge Salad, Crab Cakes, and service. Josh (bar tender) is friendly and provides excellent service. I stopped in late on a Sunday evening. The piano guy keeps you entertained if you are seeking a relaxing evening. My only issue is the price difference between the 6oz filet and the 8oz filet. For two additional ounces of steak, the price is significantly higher and in my humble opinion, not in range for consideration to upgrade to the 8oz. Needless to say, I chose the 6oz. The 14oz NY Strip Steak seems like the better deal of the three.I shall return and select the NY Strip next time I'm in town.

Don't waste your money. Had heard Cavanugh's was the place to go for a steak dinner. My wife and I both ordered the filet. I ordered the scalloped potatoes and my wife ordered the mashed potatoes. Both of our filets were lukewarm at best. The mashed potatoes were cold. I'm not saying slightly warm. I'm saying cold. Sent them back in the next came out the same. The only part of this meal that was semi hot was the scalloped potatoes. Don't waste your money. Go to Burger King. It would be better.

Not happy at all food had no flavor not worth the money it cost. Service was good company great.Ambiance very nice.

Great steak! Great service! One of the best steaks I've ever had! The piano playing in the background makes it a great date place!
