    This was a night where 7 ladies who don’t know each other spent time together. The service was spectacular. Village Social was a perfect place for conversation and making friends.

    We were very impressed with the service and quality of food. The elk was delicious as was the trout and the pork chop. Highly recommended by our group. Thanks to our server Mike and to the food and beverage manager Andrew. The small bites before dinner were yummy.

    My constant go to for feeling special starting with reservation special requests to being greeted and treated by new and seasoned Soby’s family members! Always a treat to start with brussel sprouts and country ham and really enjoyed the tastes and presentation of the Wildly Mushroom appetizer (loved the anchovy flavor accent)! The beet and burrata salad was spot on! Enjoyed the new additions of salmon and bison osso bucco and great mix of flavors. Shout out to Amelia for TLC in spacing our order perfectly and great recommendations . Thanks to Kate for the wine and food recommendations. And welcome to Chuck and thanks for the memories to Soup! Left for the show feeling special and happy! Thanks, Soby’s!

    Our experience at Sassafras was amazing. The service was top notch. The food was delicious. We had two of their martini’s as well. They were so good. The atmosphere was very nice and I love the brick walls. We were celebrating my birthday. They also give free dessert for your birthday which makes this place great most places do not do that now.
