Let's start off with what was good:…read more The scenic view of the river is awesome. The coffee, Starbucks, was good. That is about where the good ends. The food was mediocre at best. The omelet was made with liquid eggs, no flavor, and was served cold. The breakfast potatoes were bits of overcooked, over salted potatoes. Service was ok. Our waitress was working very hard but she was about the only one. 2 tables next to us stayed dirty for almost the entire time we were here. It was someone's "great" idea, NOT, to serve ketchup and hot sauce in shot glasses. First of all the waste factor and the miss trying to use them. Probably not going to be back.

The truffle fries were really good though and were paired nicely with the garlic aioli. The cocktails were good but a little pricy for Sioux City.

March 2027 Sioux City, Iowa…read more Very nice interior. Large bar in the front center that seemed to be popular with guests. A few tables wrapped around the bar. We took a table in the back of the restaurant. Simple table with black cloth napkins. No candle , no flower, just a small salt and pepper set with a few menus. The menu offers a variety from expensive seafood and steaks to sandwiches. I chose the seafood Mac and cheese. My husband had the pork chop with sweet potatoes and a side of grilled cauliflower. The other couple ordered Mediterranean pasta with shrimp instead of chicken which came with a slice of focaccia bread. His wife had the chicken margherita sandwich which came with sweet potato waffle fries. My husband said the pork chop was dry and overcooked. My seafood pasta was served warm. It looked like it sat under the heat lamp while other food was prepared. Oddly enough, my meal did not come with any bread. But the other pasta dish had focaccia bread and even the kids meal that had mac & cheese had a big chunk of bread as well. Was it an oversight? Also missing from my dish was the Panko crumbs that were to top the dish. None to be found! My pasta had really great flavor. A complaint is that every third bite I was pulling a shell out of my mouth. It's good to know that the seafood is fresh, but I should not have to bite around the shell of the seafood. Also, because it was served warm, it made it less than enjoyable. The Mediterranean pasta I was told was delicious and it looked so. A lot of sauce as well. The chicken sandwich was quite large. Although it was tough and not tasty. It came with a side of sweet potato fries, which came out after we started our meal. It was forgotten the first time around. Overall, I would give the ambience an eight. Service was good and it deserves a seven. The food however, which I think is very important when you go to dinner, would get a solid five. I think the flavor was good, but again, because the food was served cold, and the pork chop was overcooked. I would most definitely take points off.

Very cool place we discovered close to our hotel…read more The winner of the night was the pasta with chicken, mushrooms, and balsamic cream sauce. The Korean BBQ steak had a terrific flavor but was quite gristly. We sat at the bar and received except service. The bartender was attentive but also sensitive when we were in deep conversation. She did not needlessly interrupt.

You could click on each individual item and see the ingredients and a picture. It would also show you more than just food and drinks, but also their history, vendors, and information about their spa, rooftop bar, and bowling alley. I think that was above and beyond for a menu. The elderflower peachy prosecco was very tasty. The bartender had a fun sense of humor and was very prompt while serving.

This is my second time here. I ordered a 16 ounce prime dry-aged new york strip. I was served a…read moresteak that was maybe 8 ounces? 10 at most. When I brought this up to the waitress she confirmed that I was indeed given the 16 ounce steak. Other people at the table ordered the same thing and were given steaks that were double in thickness. $91 buys you cheap cooked from frozen french fries, good polenta, and a grisly new york strip. I have eaten at fine steakhouses before such as Peter Lugers, MarkJoseph's, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, and more. I have paid more for my meal and never felt as ripped off and disappointed as I have here. The restaurant website purposefully does not post menu prices. The only upside is that I think the waitress seemed to be doing her best. The ambience of the restaurant is OK i guess? I think you can get better ambience from other steakhouses in the area.

I decided on starting with their Caesar salad, and my main entree was the New York steak and a loaded baked potato. Kept my drink setup fairly simple with a nitro vanilla porter, and an unsweetened iced tea. The food was fresh and tasty, my steak cooked to order , and the potato was delicious. I passed on dessert, because I was stuffed, but my experience here was up to par with most American steakhouses.

Big pretzel should be Gigantic pretzel. I ate about half. Took most of the leftover half back to my hotel. Had some for breakfast, took it on the plane and had some and shared it with the person sitting next to me... and there was STILL some left!! That thing could feed a small country. It was delicious and I loved the Pilsner cheese sauce. The salmon on top of a salad was also very good. And too big to finish. But the fish was fresh and prepared as requested. My friend got the sliders (3) and a side salad. He said it was all very good. The atmosphere is very friendly. Everyone seemed to know everyone.

Parking is a little chaotic, maybe because we are new to the city, all I saw was street parking. Cheers!!
