    I’ve been coming here often before wild games and love the food. However, once before and today, we felt rushed. Server dropped off the bill but we wanted another drink. Just felt like we needed to be moved for another set of guests but no one else was waiting.

    The food we were able to order was great, but most of us at the table wanted to order something that wasn’t on the menu that day because it was a game day. Disappointing! Our server was great though and the ambience was lovely

    Great place to eat as a family or with friends! Would recommend the buffalo shrimp with lemon on top every bite is so delicious. I had the sirloin and horseradish mashed potatoes for my meal and was locking my plate clean! Also had the apple crisp dessert and god was it good. Basically 10/10 food!

    It was a nice quiet place but the food was pretty average. We took the host and server’s recommendations for a lot of menu items and they were all pretty flavorless. Staff was friendly and food came out quickly though.

    Food was terrible. The beef kabob, steak was ordered medium rare and came well done, waitress did ask to get a new one but we were so disappointed we just said no. When we were given the bill she offered a free dessert, heck no. Wish they would have just taken the meal off our bill. Now we know why it was so empty on a Friday night.
