Great dining experience! The food was wonderful and our server, Darrell, was so attentive and accommodating it made the entire time we were there unforgettable. The only downside was that the only reservation we could get was at 4:30 pm on a Sunday, but that was because it's so popular there, and despite the high prices. But it was worth it, and we'd happily go back.

Extraordinary experience from beginning to end. The maitre d’ recognized our request for a bourbon tasting with dinner and made sure to seat us at a table in Ross’s section. Ross was a delight. Funny, efficient, and knowledgeable with the menu and especially the bourbon. After asking us questions on type, style, price, he created a tasting that was perfect beginning to end. I am going to dream about my halibut main course and my husband raved about the Caesar salad. We will definitely be back when we come to town.
