    The food was excellent and well presented on the plates. The salads were beautiful and delicious, we had the beet salad, grilled Romain and wedge. All three could be split between 2 people. We ordered the lamb, lobster ravioli and the halibut. All delicious and creativity prepared. There was no room for dessert! Our waiter was accommodating and professional. Overall a wonderful experience.

    We got married at the Prairie Star (17) years ago and every year on our anniversary we have a wonderful dinner there - just the two of us. Rebecca planned and orchestrated our wedding. And as hoped for - She's was there last night as usual making sure everyone was being treated to a 5 star experience. Our waitress Francesca is also an experienced server and her knowledge of the food and drink menu was right on the money -plus she is a delight to meet. We had the best anniversary evening yet. Superb food - atmosphere only surpassed by the graciousness of our hostesses. You'll enjoy your time there as well. THANKS TO ALL!
