    Food was exceptional. Prime rib sandwich was excellent and the smoked Gouda Mac and cheese was oh so good. Bourbon steak and salmon were equally delicious. Bloody Mary was a meal in itself with shrimp, bacon, and veggies.

    We had a wonderful meal. We split the goat cheese appetizer that comes with the most delicious bread! The burger and smoked Gouda Mac and cheese was wonderful as well. We topped it off with the peanut butter pie! Soo good!

    Ever feel like you are the table that gets lost in the weeds? That was our experience. However, Ashley, the manager came over and made everything better. They were overwhelmed with the NCAA crowds, but all we heard was how great they are. They were off their game, but because of the manager intervening, we would definitely try them again!

    We ate lunch there and one suggestion I would have would be to have better lunch offerings for Fridays during lent. Almost nothing was lent friendly. A fish and chips would be a good addition to the menu.

    The food was delicious and our server was very nice. They were busier than anticipated, so it took some time to get drinks. Otherwise, it was a wonderful dinner. We will definitely be back.
