We came here for the first time last night. Wanting to sample the menu, we had two appetizers, the calamari and the wrapped dates with the arugula salad. Both of those appetizers were outstanding! My husband also wanted to try the bison chili with three add-ons: jalapeños, onions, and cheese. Surcharge for all three toppings. That was also delicious. I did think there should’ve been a piece of bread with the chili instead of crackers since it was dinner time. We decided to have the filet mignon special with “blue cheese, fondue“ and red wine Demi glace. It came with potato strata and broccoli. I had multiple problems with this dish. The broccoli was perfect. The potatoes were huge probably 2 servings but decent. You could only see the outline of the red wine sauce under a mountain of blue cheese sauce which was overpowering. My steak was about 3/4” thick and my husband’s was about 2” thick or more. We both ordered medium rare and he got that. I have never seen a $65 steak smothered before. It’s something they do at Applebee’s to cover it up. I asked the waitress for a tiny bit of red wine sauce to take home so I could clean up the steak and try to eat it with the Demi glace. There was a surcharge for that. Also did not expect to pay $65 for a 7 oz filet. Make sure you ask the price for special dinner. We didn’t stay for dessert. I don’t have a problem paying $140 per person but try to standardize the protein and would have been able to enjoy if the chef put the sauces separate. Thank you

Tiffany was our server and she went above and beyond. It was our first time there and everything we ordered was on point. Tiffany made us feel welcome and explained all the specials. I will definitely go back!

We stopped by after playing golf. By chance we found it close to the course. What a great find. The atmosphere was great, and well set up inside. The chicken tenders were good with truffle fries. I really liked the coleslaw. It had a hint of vinegar. Stop by if you get the chance.

We came here on my birthday with two of our friends. I ordered the New York strip with mashed potatoes and asparagus. I wouldn’t say any of my food was great, but it was definitely good. My husband got the pork chop with a side of vegetables. Like me, he thought everything was good. Our friend who got the tacos thought they were very good and our other friend. Our other friend got the lobster tail which was on special for New Year’s Eve with vegetable and a baked potato and hers was very very good. I loved hers. I was also surprised that they don’t have a birthday dessert at all. We ended up getting three desserts though. It was a month ago so I don’t remember what they were but I have pictures. I highly recommend the desserts that are in my pictures. They were all very, very good! Overall, we still had a very good experience here. The food was good And service was great. We would come back here again. We’ve always heard great things about the meatloaf so that will be the next thing we try.

ABSOLUTELY worth it. Portion sizes are quite plentiful, the food was delicately separated out so as not to become a mess, and the taste/texture/freshness was superb. You certainly get what you pay for. I have not seen this level of food service since pre-covid. Five out of five stars.

First time there with friends, I had the seared scallops, they were done perfectly with a great taste, the zucchini and squash was also very tasty. Baked, loaded potato was properly done and served hot. Highly recommended.

Tonight was our first time going to this restaurant. The staff were all very friendly, food was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor. We had a blue cheese, with a red glaze filet would give it 5 stars, and a New York strip it was cooked perfect, great flavor, nice portions. Decent bourbon selection, made the husband happy. Very clean, and we liked that. Beautiful inside too, comfortable place. There was a large group that was having a lot of fun so they set us in a more quaint and nice quieter spot. It was our anniversary. We highly recommend this place and hope to go back again sometime. Very nice establishment for our area.
