We had the venison special, duck and steak frites and it was all fantastic. The venison and duck were absolutely next level. When ducks on the menu you have to order it, is the motto I live by and I was not disappointed. It was amazing will go back and recommend to anyone.

We had the best time! The service was phenomenal, and the food was absolutely incredible. There wasn’t a single thing our party got that wasn’t delicious. We went for my birthday and joked that our group wants to go for everyone’s birthday for the next 10 years. You won’t be disappointed!

Atmosphere was comfortable. Was my first time here, came for the Christmas Eve buffet and enjoyed ourselves. Service and staff was very welcoming. A little pricey for the buffet giving the amount of options but I guess the quality of the dishes made up for it. Paid $120 for 2 ppl before tax and gratuity. Will have to come in for regular service. The food was delicious enough to make me want to come back.
