They have a nice wine list, and they make lots of specialty drinks at the bar. They have nice steaks, and I'll have to tell you the ribeye is more than big enough for two adults! We split the ribeye, and my fiancé and I had to take home a to-go Box! Dark chocolate awaits at the end of the meal, flourless chocolate tort to die for! I'm a huge fan.

They specialize in live fire cooking and we were lucky enough to get a booth right across from the action as you will see in the pics. They use a mix of red and white oak to control the heat along with a series of movable grill plates. We started with a delicious Strawberry Salad that also had watermelon radish and delicate greens lightly tossed in a vinaigrette. Coming from Arizona, I had to try the Pozole and thrilled I did. The rich red broth gave light to the chili heart of this very complex liquid. The pozole had great texture and the shredded pork was tender and outstanding. An excellent example of this favorite dish. The most amazing entree was the main course. It was a shareable Half Elk Rack. While I like medium rare, when it was brought to the table, I thought it might be too rare. As soon as I tasted it, I realized it was perfection. It was so tender and the chew was great, especially on the end pieces that had an incredible bark on the outside. Elk is an extremely lean dish so to add some unctuous notes, they take Fois Gras, and as the fat renders, add huckleberries before putting it in a blender to create a heavenly base. We couldn't resist dragging every bite across the serving plate to savor the magic. As a side dish, we ordered the squash which was also perfectly roasted over the live fire and complimented the dish.

I liked how it actually had N/A liquor in it. My husband got the SECRET GARDEN - loved the lavender earl gray. For a starter, we split the BAHN MI QUAIL - super inventive, never had quail before. Kind of hard to eat around the small bones but loved the stuffed flavors! For dinner, we shared two dishes: ELK SAUSAGE & PEPPERS PASTA and PORK CHOP. The pasta was very so-so, nothing that blew me away. However, the pork chop was super tasty - loved the sauce. For dessert, we shared limoncello sorbet - perfect amount of refreshing and loved the fun strawberry powder! Our server was super nice and attentive. Really nice experience overall!

There's a bar upstairs with ample seating inside and out on their deck which over looks the Main Street and sidewalk. They also have a pool table and a few tv's with sports on. It has a laidback vibe upstairs. The servers I had on both nights were girls and kept watch on glasses to be refilled and then to check if there was anything needed. I enjoyed a prime rib steak on a Friday and then on Sunday I had the Alfredo with chicken. Both dishes were cooked well and flavorful as you'd expect. I've read a lot of reviews and I could see when things get busy the servers could start to lose their attention to all the tables they are over. The kitchen from what I've seen was consistently putting out good food. The only complaint I have and it's aimed at the owners is why do you charge/force a 3.5% fee/extortion on each bill/check to your customers... it's not Las Vegas and that's the only place where I've seen it constantly pushed, however in Las Vegas you can request it be removed and it is. Your establishment does give discounted options- like on debit cards you give a demand a smaller fee - to be totally fee free of demands/extortion you must pay cash...

Solid service there. Once we were seated, the waitress was friendly, attentive, and very good with recommendations. The trophies on the walls give the place a very western feel. The steak lives up to the hype. Mine was a sirloin, and it was aged well, cooked to perfection, and absolutely seasoned to perfection. I got mushrooms on the side, and it's great to see a place that serves mushrooms without onions, since I don't like onions. My wife got the burrata appetizer as a meal and raved about it the entire time. I'd go here again. In fact, I'd make this a regular rotation stop if I lived there.

What a tag team these to make. She took us outside after dinner and took pictures with us and let us look at and explain to us about her extensive tattoos. What a wonderful woman. And what a great experience. Very unique menu set up. Of course you don't wanna miss the fried chicken. It was excellent, but it's a lot of food. I never had coleslaw and Caesar salad with cottage cheese on the side to start when we sit down at the table. But whatever it was great and like I said unique. We are in a beautiful part of the dining room on the side and it was very mellow. Some great unique cocktails and a wonderful vibe. Afterwards we're just two blocks from the main street and took a nice walk in the evening. Love this town Love all the people we met and love this restaurant.

I might be able to rate this a little higher but we have been coming here since they opened! I know…read morethings change over time, but a lot of the appetizers weren't as good as they used to be or the same. The fried chicken and dinner sides were good and we got plenty to eat. Didn't care for the dessert, I've had better ice cream sandwiches from a gas station. I wish they would look at the old menu and recipes a little more. The service was interesting they were there checking on us quite a bit but not our waitress, she disappeared for most of the meal. If things have to change I think it should be better food, not making it cheaper for profits. I definitely still love going to the old restaurant, brings back the old style family dining and heritage of the area. We will be back and do recommend it, just hope they keep things as authentic as they can!!

Bread and garlic butter for the table was already insanely good and I could tell I was going to be in trouble already. We ordered the garlic fries with tabasco mayo and I had to stop myself from getting too full on them. Next was soup and salad the wife got the ceasar salad and was silent until it was done, fine, I got the cream of mushroom soup and was glad I didn't have to reply I would've thought about ignoring her so I could keep eating. The wife got the chicken piccata, one of her favorite dishes and expressed in somewhat vague terms that she wanted to kiss the chef on the lips. Silent treatment is ok but advances on other men... getting weird but it was really good so I can't say I blame her too much. I had ordered the steak carbonara but might have been too quiet while ordering and was served a steak. No harm no foul, it was my second choice anyways but it was seasoned strangely, I could tell it was very well done and cooked exactly how I requested but the seasoning wasn't my cup of tea. Against our better judgement we ordered dessert, the wife got an espresso martini and I ordered the chocolate lava cake. Jessica our gourmet food delivery woman and friend for the night found out we were celebrating our anniversary and got us cannolis on the house as well. It was the only course I got a picture of because we had to pace ourselves by then. "La vie en rose" started playing as I ate the lava cake and I felt my ADD calm down for a while. The wife was also very cagey about the cannolis she had claimed but I managed to steal some, also very good but I didn't want to share too much of my chocolate heaven on a plate. Biggest complaint was the serving sizes were large and the food was very good, so sad we were in a hotel and were leaving the next day so couldn't take anything home with us.

SUMMARY: Mediocre food…read more Despite the great reputation, well adorned facility, stellar location, and impressive menu, everything I ordered proved consistently disappointing. Calling this food ordinary is, at best, an overstatement. At each turn, my efforts invoked in salvaging the (food) entries was met with failure. Starting with a simple Caesar salad, the lettuce tasted several days old. Drenched in ordinary tasting salad dressing, the romaine lettuce became soggy from the presence of excessive dressing. The dressing was too strong in taste, akin to store bought lower priced varieties, and from this, proved difficult to eat. The portion was generous, however. WARNING: Do not order the minestrone soup. To explain: The minestrone soup proved ultra disappointing. With the amount that I paid, $12, for a bowl, I was expecting it to be of meal-like quality. Instead, it was also challenging to consume, being so vinegary, possessing a handful of some tomato slices and little else. It arrived lukewarm. Instead of ample carrots, beans, celery, onion, etc., with typically a delicious broth, all that I could detect was slimy tomato slices in a pool of vinegar. The "chef" needs to study quality minestrone soup recipes and completely start over, especially if customers are charged $12 for such. I was so looking forward to a quality and hearty minestrone soup. I haven't tasted anything so pathetic yet simultaneously overpriced, in years. Have they tasted this? It pains me to speak so passionately about something like this. But it was a disaster. The house bread? It was crunchy, also seeming to be dated, not stale, just not fresh. It wasn't warm. It was dry. The garlic butter was fine, but following the theme, ordinary, at best. I tried everything to make at least the bread come alive, heaping massive piles of garlic butter on it. Nothing could rescue the bread either. No olive oil was to be found anywhere on the table or tables in my vicinity. Very friendly staff was present, but their inexperience and lack of polish became annoying. Whatever virtue that the "soup" might have had was lost as it got even colder while she was talking ceaselessly to me. Yes, it arrived lukewarm before she was conversing. Friendly service, even if awfully informal, can't compensate for such a poor price - value relationship and mediocre food. I cannot recommend this restaurant. Perhaps they do a superior job on pasta dishes. Yet, upon perusing the menu, I couldn't find just a small or half portion of spaghetti. A jr. high aged boy near me somehow managed to order a small plate of spaghetti. While it looked ordinary, such would likely have proven sufficient tonight, even if such was likely only available on the children's menu. If this restaurant once served fresh and delicious food, something, at least of late, has woefully gone awry in the kitchen.
