The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. The food really stood out--everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The burgers were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor, and the sides were just as impressive. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. It's the kind of place that feels like a local favorite for a reason. Great food, good vibes, and a spot we'd definitely come back to the next time we're in town.

We showed up again the next day about 30 min before close and the staff was super nice and didn't make us feel rushed or like an inconvenience. The beer was ice cold, hot toddy's were customizable and delicious, and burgers were yummy and worth the return trip. I gave this a 4 star only because the sweet potato fries were oddly large, tasteless, and overcooked along with the chili which was incredibly dry and basically inedible. I'm thinking this was because of how late we showed up though so I won't hold that against them. The rest of our visit was amazing so we will definitely be back!

The team mentioned that the special seating was because we had booked so far ahead, which I really appreciated. It was a thoughtful touch that made the night feel even more special. The service was also amazing! My drink was not what I expected and they were willing to comp and give me a new drink, which was very nice. Our dishes: - blue claw crab - dip / pancetta / chimichurri / whipped ricotta/ crackers (SO YUM) - carpaccio* - bison / roasted mushroom aioli / arugula salad / crispy parmesan (one of my favorite dishes, MUST!) - beets salad - pumpernickel / sheep down under / arugula / orange marmalade / pistachio (good!) - gnocchi special - diver scallops - shaved truffle / lemon / saffron arancini / 10 year balsamic (really tasty, well cooked!) - pork chop - 16oz hayden fresh / cider brine / kiss of smoke / apple butter (my FAVORITE) - crispy potatoes - truffle parmesan / pistachio pesto / black pepper aioli (better than expected!) - bread pudding bourbon anglaise / vanilla bean / cinnamon Although pricey, I would go back in the future!

It's a "nicer" restaurant. Most people were dressed pretty nicely, which fits the ambiance - definitely a little more upscale. Most recently, we walked in at 6:30pm on a Saturday and sat down at the bar. For food, We got the bread with butter and the wagyu beef. For the price to portion ratio, I was slightly disappointed with the wagyu. The strips were already sliced and cooked on each side, which I thought was strange. I was expecting to pick a temperature and cut into it myself. The bread was super super super good! Can't go wrong here. Lastly, the cocktails. AMAZING. I had the spicy "mocktail" but added an infused tequila and it was so good. So spicy but it didn't linger, stayed on the lips and mouth, perfect amount of spice. One of the best drinks I've had in a really long time

Cocktails & Wine: served up by our friendly bartender were quite perfect... including my "Perfect Manhattan". 2. Mushroom Bisque: thick, rich & earthy with not only finely ground mushroom pieces throughout, but also had slices of mushroom to further the experience. If I could say even one "drawback" to the delicious melange, it would be that the "cup" was huge-- more like what the "bowl" should have been, but I couldn't stop enjoying it, so I was pretty sated after the first course. 3. Caesar Salad: we split the awesome salad with crisp romaine, dressed well, little crisp parm wheels, and a parm-butter-cheese-dollop-custard-thingy that we ate with the crostini & on the salad... crazy interesting & yummy! 4. Buffalo Ricotta Agnolotti: hand made pasta is hard to beat, and these were no exception. Lovely sizable packets of goodness filled with just the right amount of creamy ricot. 5. Glazed Beef Short Rib: The GF dish (which doesn't matter to me) was equally as decadent as the rest of the meal. At one point, I gave the juicy short rib a funny look, and it felt apart on its own because it was sooo tender! ;-) All in all, YVK was firing on all cylinders... one of the best meals we've had in quite some time!

I've already been to the original location and after seeing friends in Steamboat I thought it was in order to visit this second location afterwards. For this location I got two of their beers.

When it comes to seeing a Black IPA I almost always have to get one. I also got their American Light which was a lager that I enjoyed fairly well which was appropriate for the warm summer afternoon I was experiencing in Craig.

Patio was spacious and gorgeous views of the course (and foliage if you time it just right!) Our server Brook was wonderful, attentive and gave great suggestions. We were there for happy hour with specials on appetizers and drinks and each single dish was delicious! My fave was the calamari and brussel sprouts and we all splurged on the tuna poke!

All the food was so ono! (delicious). Chef Ben really cared for each dish and even came out to introduce himself. The restaurant rotates their offerings based on the season so we'll just have to see what else gets released for the winter. I'm sure they get busy then too so we'll remember to get that reservation next time!
