We arrived early, so we got drinks at the bar and sat by the fireplace while we waited. The blended rye old fashioned was delicious! Once sat, our waiter David greeted us and his recommendations were great! We had the onion rings to start and they were PERFECT! We both ordered the 13oz ribeye which were cooked to perfection as well! Last, but surely not least, we had the pecan pie for dessert. The crust of the pie is cinnamon rolls! That dessert was outstandingly good and sweet! We will return for round two very soon!

Went on a Friday night before the piano bar next door so it was early - 6pm - and pretty empty. But we got attentive, friendly service and the food was really good. We both opted for seasonal dishes. My husband got grilled chicken with a harvest bowl that was peppery and full of vegetables and quinoa. I got a butternut squash and pumpkin quinoa dish with grilled salmon. We were too full for dessert but they sounded good. By the time we left around 7:30 there were more tables filled with diners.
