    Pasta dish
    Sarah B.

    Food was good, not great. A little pricey for the amount you get. I hadn't been in years, but we were given a gift card at Christmas so thought we'd try it again. Our waiter was great! We were a party of 12, it was a Saturday night so it was busy. Our waiter hustled. Not sure if they were short on bartenders, but the drink service was bad! Took forever, even in the not crowded bar we visited after dinner for a night cap! I think I'd be willing to try it again. The side salad I got with my chicken sandwich was pretty basic. Literally chopped iceberg lettuce. Hubby said his steak and baked potato are better at home and half the price!

    The food has always been good. The service is a little hit or miss. We usually go in between lunch and dinner to miss the crowd. We do like to eat in the bar. The environment is low key and with the TVs, we can watch the different sports games that might be playing.

    Extremely underwhelming for $38.

    This is a solid 3 star. It has the feel of a Texas restaurant type of place and the look of it. The service was amazing. Connor did a great job serving our table. That's as far as this place goes. I guess since it's a restaurant then it should be known for its food. So really, this place should be a 2 star. Portions were a good size (minus the bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer. Don't get this if you're hungry.) But NONE of the food was that great. Felt like I was at a college campus eating dinner at their cafeteria. I don't know how else to describe it. Everything was so below mediocre. It was all edible... but it was so.....eh. Drinks were all sugary concoctions so I didn't even bother.

    The service was good but the food has gone down hill. My steak bites tasted like they were microwaved and my husband's food was cold.

    MUST GO TO SPOT IN FRESNO!…read more I have been here twice now and 100% will be coming back again and again with my lady. This place is casual fine dining with super friendly staff. This restaurant knows how to make a mean steak. Seasoned to perfection and actually cooked the way you want it. The best is their dry aged prime and it's worth every penny of it. The dry aged adds such an umami depth of flavor to the meat with the subtle garlic and rosemary aroma infused through the butter that it's cooked in. Couldn't ask for more! Actually you can! The best pairing with their steak has to be the top 3 sides here. Hatched chili Mac and cheese, buttery mashed potatoes, and grilled sourdough! The Mac was smooth and creamy, but that hatched chili that added a subtle back of the throat heat is such a nice added touch! Self explanatory on the butter mashed potatoes, who could resist? The grilled sourdough was perfectly toasted and buttery and it came with 3 toppings, for me is the aioli to spread. I REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS A 5! But there is just one miss here. The 4 mentioned were the most recommended by staff and from Yelp. AS YOU SHOULD! It is definitely what to order. The two times we went out here we tried two different dishes outside of the recommended. Their pasta dish and the fried lobster. Unfortunately it was a miss for us. It was good, but it didn't feel like there was much attention to these dishes compared to the one that they are known for. But still good nonetheless.

The shrimp scampi was well-seasoned and flavorful, paired with risotto that was slightly undercooked but not enough to take away from the dish overall. The chimichurri steak, on the other hand, was cooked perfectly and seasoned beautifully--the chimichurri sauce was definitely the highlight. Our server, Jen, was also acting as host and bartender, and she handled it all impressively as the restaurant started to fill up. Even while understaffed, she kept everything running smoothly until additional staff arrived. Overall, it was a great experience

Wife and I both ordered the specials, she ordered shrimp over rice that looked pretty good, I ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad. I come here two to three times a month, great staff and great food. Otherwise... I wouldn't come back as often right? The Southwest Chicken Salad had a drizzle of BBQ on griilled chicken, perhaps a spring mix of lettuce and leafy greens, corn, beans, battered and fried jalapeño, and drizzle of ranch with a sliced avocado on the side. Damned if I didn't get the perfect bite with the greens, beans, avocado, chicken, and fried jalapeño... simply amazing. Flavorful, with heat, but NOT spicy... Had a really crappy day, this lunch turned things around. If you are in the Fresno/Clovis Area and have NOT tried the local, you are missing out.

We made a reservation, which is nice because they print your name on the menu! And then we promptly forgot to actually take the menus with us. :( This is a prix fixe menu where you have a choice for each of the courses (think DineLA style), and the menu apparently changes all the time, according to the whims of the chef (which is the most fun). We also shared a wine pairing and the sommelier was fantastic in telling us about each of the wines. Wonderful experience. Our server, Trevor, was great! We loved the pecan pie cheesecake (my partner says it's the perfect thickness - as in, it's not very thick at all, and manageable after a large meal. I also really liked the sesame crusted tuna, and the wagyu beef was amazing. My partner got a casarecce for one of the courses and she loved that. The flavors in that are super intense and really delicious. We were seated in the garden patio, and there seemed to have been an engagement party that evening, but you couldn't hear anything from the garden patio - it was very peaceful and chill. Looking forward to visiting again when we are in town! For $78 for a prix fixe menu ($62 for wine pairing), compared to LA prices, we are down!

A set menu, you start off with some focaccia bread that's paired with their herb culture butter a great starter. Loved my moscato and my friend opted for a red wine. The first course, salad of golden beets with figs, prosciutto, goat cheese was delectable. The curried cauliflower soup was so creamy and rich. So much flavor from our second course, the gnocchi with ancho-braised beef was on point, sesame crusted tuna so beautifully displayed and seared lightly. Before our entrée, we had shaved ice as a palate cleanser that tasted like pear and cinnamon.We both got the Wagyu beef with mashed potatoes on the side, a little salty but cooked nicely. Finally finishing with dessert, the carrot bread pudding was delicious and cranberry almond cake was not too sweet. I want to also share they are reservation only, so make sure you book before you go. There is parking in the public parking lot just behind the restaurant and also street parking. The setting was quiet, low lighting, and semi-formal. Overall we had a wonderful evening.
