I loved my salmon. We loved the bison and the elk!! We love the salad!! My husband doesn’t love your tenderloin. He doesn’t think it’s as high quality as other similarly priced restraunts. That was the only downside for him. He liked the gravy.. which he dusky doesn’t prefer a gravy in his tenderloin! Our waiter was awesome and accommodating!! The birthday desserts were a surprise! It was a fun evening!!

We frequent this place because it is warm & homey in ambiance & the food is forever interesting, full of choices & delicious; the front of the house & the wait-staff are most excellent. Even when it is full, the noise level remains moderate, and one can always carry on a conversation w/ friends and loved ones. We celebrate special occasions here but also celebrate the joys of everyday; we are always cared for here & it never disappoints. We are drawn back here again & again.
