My second time here as an out-of-towner, had the meat loaf, SLAPPED! I hardly ever eat meat loaf, and this one had perfect balance of flavors. Bartender was very generous and gave recs to other local spots as well.

Part of the Broadmoor, you can count on rather pricey food so that is a given. But the food was REALLY good. We ate lunch here on a cold day in November. I recommend the BBQ bacon wrapped shrimp small plate which I had as my entree, my husbands Vidalia onion rings were outstanding and there was more than enough for the 3 of us. My son loved his boar nachos. Great service, lovely location.
