   First time and went for a birthday celebration! Great overall and highly recommend for a special occasion meal. We had the tar tar, oysters and fries to start- all good! Then a variety of steaks (rib eye was the table fave) and for sides we tried lobster mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts (a smidge undercooked), corn (delish!) and sautéd prawns. Dessert- crème brûlée, brownie, butter cake were all exceptional and well done. No espresso which was odd but coffee was good and dark. Wine list is extensive but not northwest focused which was disappointing given the number of local wineries and missing a good merlot option. Service was good and not rushed but we waited a bit for the final check and felt rushed to order even though they did time it well once we ordered. It was nice that the servers acknowledged how special the experience was and the service level was the best we’ve seen in Eugene. Hopefully that commitment combined with the price point is enough to make this a successful restaurant for years to come. The only negative is getting in- a reservation is a must, and they are not flexible outside of what is shown on line. Also don’t expect to have a drink pre dinner at the bar as that’s reserved too. The host stand is awkwardly placed and the restrooms were not up to par with the main dining area and need some work to leave their brewery past behind. Overall highly recommend!!

   It was delicious! But was a bit expensive although we expected it to be and would definitely go again.

   Rolls were not warm or fluffy, butter cake was thick and not fluffy (like it was the first time I came)- almost like it was not baked completely. I ordered a new york steak and filet mingon FOR MYSELF and asked specifically for medium well- my steaks are completely blood red and I barely ate them they are in my fridge now until I throw them away. The last time I came my steak and food was prepared correctly and I really enjoyed it- so much that I got two steaks this time. That was the wrong move I guess. Service was great.

   The food was great, but not worth the price. Eugene doesn't have a lot of high end restaurants and this one is a significant jump in price for a small jump in overall quality. While we had a great night, I will not be returning.

   What a beautiful restaurant. The service was impeccable. The wine list contained sufficient options, as did the cocktail menu. The food was delicious. I enjoyed the experience and will return. Such a nice addition to the Eugene food scene.

    We celebrated our anniversary here. The extra touches the staff did for us was noticed immediately. Several staff stopped to wish us happy anniversary. There was a hand written card at our table thanking us for celebrating there. Our waiter was extremely attentive and we never had to wait or ask for something since he was on top of everything from topping off our water to bringing the check. The food was fantastic and worth every dollar.
