The owners are onsite and work very hard to make it a most enjoyable dining experience. the wait staff was very attentive and the service was quick and efficient. We ordered a variety of items off the menu and all were wonderful. Most marvelous whisky selction and a good wine list.

It was New Years Eve so read into that what you will. I made the reservation more than a week before but still got a pretty poor seating choice. Felt like the cafeteria. The food was mediocre. My steak was overdone, wife’s was good. For the prices here it should always be exceptional. Service was very good.

4 of us all had prime rib. Delicious. Shrimp cocktail: large shrimp and also delicious. Lobster bisque and salads also delicious. Martinis and cosmo: good but not mind-blowing. Potatoes: so so. Twice baked: too much cheese and a bit dry. Baked presented whole (not split...just unattracted) with no butter and sour cream on the side. Doubt we'll go back for the money we paid, nearly $400 with tip for four of us. It was very good, but not the near perfection we expected based on price and reputation.

This restaurant is way over priced for what you get. Untrained staff, poor service, mediocre food, and way over priced.

We did not like the drinks we got which was Wards Old Fashion and asked for them to be taken off the bill but apparently the bar tender was an owner and didn't want us wasting the Bourbon and tried making it better.The prime rib was great. The twiced baked potato had a weird old taste to it. The brussel sprouts were delicious but we barely had any actual sprouts... It was mostly leaves that had fallen off the sprout. We came for the banana cake because last time it was amazing. This time it was so dense and heavy. We barely tasted banana flavor and the frosting tasted like the refrigerator. It was very old. Very disappointed overall. I don't think we will eat here again. Our server was very friendly and helpful.
