    The service by Kiara was great. Food delicious and many good choices for a larger group. Only minor complaint was the noise level. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Amazing food, without seed oils! I'll take a restaurant like that any day over your average, over priced, mediocre food! Worth the wait! Waited about 35 minutes even with a reservation on a Thursday night, but it's that good and we will definitely be back! Cool vibe, different cocktails and the Bison is TDF! Can't wait to go back for Tomahawk Taco Tuesday! Definitely try The Ends, you will not be disappointed in the upscale quality of their food! Butter & Tallow--YES PLEASE!

    They had a rough night on Christmas Day. I think the kitchen got behind from the jump. But you know what? They did the best they could with what they had. They comped our drinks and starters because of the delay, and communicated they were behind (although they mentioned it would be half an hour and I think we got our food around the 50-60 minute mark). However, it wasn’t our servers fault. Probably a series of unfortunate events of people showing up late, staying long, and the kitchen missing a couple tickets. They were working on Christmas so me and my family didn’t have to cook. The food was still fantastic when it arrived and they did what they could to make it right. I would eat here again absolutely

    My family and I were looking for a place to have a drink and a snack On Christmas Day while we waited for my daughter to get off work at the movie theater at the mall. Naturally, we struggled with finding a place that was open on Christmas Day, but we knew that most hotels would have something open. I went onto Open Table to see who had reservations available nearby, and this popped up. I had remembered seeing this new hotel by the mall a couple of days prior, so I knew it was close. I made the reservation so we knew we had a spot, and I'm so glad we did! What a Christmas treat! The service was excellent, and everyone was cheery despite having to work on Christmas. Even when we told our server we were just having a drink and a snack and not a full dinner, she didn't seem upset or phased by it at all. We also had 2 finicky teenagers with us, and they loved it. The crab sushi bombs were such a huge hit with the picky teens that they ordered another one after having devoured the first order in less than 3 minutes. My mom and I had the spinach dip, and it was marvelous! The teens even got in on that and said they loved it! Teens eating spinach voluntarily?? Yes please. We will definitely be going back there. It was great.
