    Service was excellent from the time we walked in, while we enjoyed a drink at the bar and throughout dinner in the standard dining area.

    This is the second year we have been to dinner there for a corporate outing. We love it and it is likely to become "our spot" for our yearly event. Thanks for the great food and service!

    The food was very good, no doubt about it. The service was excellent and they are very focused on making sure we had a great experience. However, my medium rare was a little more medium than rare, and one person in our party ordered a ribeye and received a ny strip. Not enough of a problem to discuss at the time, (nobody wants to be the guy sending food back) but since this email had solicited an opinion, I'm submitting this with an attempt to be constructive. Overall, positive experience.

    Our meal was excellent. Filet mignon and prime rib were both perfectly cooked. All of the sides were great but garlic smashed potatoes were the best potatoes we’ve ever had. Our server was also wonderful - friendly, attentive, professional with great suggestions.

    This was our first visit to the restaurant. We both had steak and both said it was the best steak we have found in the Champaign-Urbana area. The service was great. The manager checked on us twice. It was an enjoyable evening.

    Dinner was perfect. Day after Valentine's which happen to be a Saturday, so weekend. Requested a booth on reservation and it was honored. Drinks were on point, food was excellent and not rushed. We had a great experience and was not hurried. Little noisey, but to be expected as they were busy.
