The price point is great unfortunately when we got home, there was hair in our steak and the sweet potato hash was undercooked and overcooked all at the same time. The food was heated for exactly 1 minute on medium, so I’m sure it wasn’t the microwaves fault. I wouldn’t count them out, but I would definitely order differently next time.

All of our entrees came out like warm and drinks aren’t that great. Maybe this place is good for larger parties but it want a great experience for us.

It started with wonderful wine selections and progressed to amazing food. I loved the crab dip and the salmon, and the cheesecake was to die for! The service was excellent as well. I feel that everyone in the room was paying attention to clearing our plates and our server Curtis didn't leave us wanting anything. He was also very pleasant and had great recommendations. I will be back to try their wine tasting evenings, since the wine was so good tonight.

Delicious food, nice wine selection and outstanding service (thank you Amber). The only thing better would be to have one closer to home (Denver/Serrills Ford area).

Otherwise, there is a six story parking garage located across from the restaurant. We suggest to park on Level 2 and stairs or elevator down to the main level. Level 2 and above are much easier to park than Level 1.
