    We have had better quality food and service here. Prices are really high for the quality. My New York strip was tough and cheery and was alacarte for $65. Very disappointed. Husbands steak was raw. Waitress brought water but never asked if we wanted something to drink. I hate to complain, as we have had better here, but was not impressed tonight.

    Excellent experience, we last ate there two years ago, and had terrible service, we said we would never go back however we decided to give it another try. Service was excellent and also the food was superb. Our waitress was very attentive. We will definitely be returning.

    The Bison short ribs were amazing ! My wife’s entree was also very good. The waiter was ok compared to some we’ve had in the past. Overall, experience was wonderful.
