Best place to eat in the canyon in my opinion. The food was very good, the service is friendly. The dining room is very nice, the noise level is above average and there are quite a few families. Put a nice place to have a good meal in the canyon. Best place since the shallow shaft closed.

Service was what you’d expect in a high end restaurant but rarely experience these days. Our server Hutch was amazing. 100% focused on delivering an exceptional dining experience without fuss or pretense. We had diners in our party who like their steaks on the medium well side and the kitchen accommodated. Lobster Risotto was delicious, chocolate soufflé superb. I also appreciated that they had reasonably priced bottled wine.
