    Went there for the customer appreciation menu. Very good except the chicken was not fully done. They brought a second one and it was no better. They removed it from my bill and the manager came over to apologize and ened up giving us a free ribs and potato to go on the house! Now that is customer service! Not to mention the Old Fashion was outstanding!

    I've eaten here several times, and every time is a great experience. The menu has a wide variety of delicious dishes, and the servers are always great - engaging, fast, and kind. I love that the menu notes whether items are vegan, gluten-free, etc. And the food is delicious - both the entrees and the desserts!

    Birthday/Christmas Eve celebration. Place was cute and a bit confusing to find at first (it was night time and at a gold course). I’ll have to go during the day to enjoy the views. Place was decorated for the holidays and one of the few spots that I was able to get a last minute rsvp after another restaurant cancelled our rsvp because of a system error. Service and server were great, food choices were not as many as I would’ve desired but we managed to find our picks. Overall nice place. Like I said, I’ll have to check the place out during daylight hours.

    Great spot with above average food. The salads were great, the French onion was very average, the ambience was cool. I would definitely go back but wish they can improve on the soup a bit.

    Very good service, noise level high. Recommend the chicken kabob, but forget the onion soup. Request to sit by the fireplace. Cozy.
