    The experience was phenomenal. A beautiful TGIF! celebration. Our waitress created a friendly unrushed experience that topped off our week with a grand celebration. King Salmon was great, and we topped everything off with two great French 75 Cocktails, and a Lemon Bundt Cake. A memorable evening!

    So we were visiting a friend in Oakdale and this place wasn't there when we last visited in 2022. Since it had great reviews and was only a mile away we decided to visit. I started with a smoked Cowboy Old Fashioned and Ysabel had a Cucumber Mule. Both were well crafted and tasty. Our friend Anamaria had the Cowboy Burger which she enjoyed very much. Ysabel had the Chicken Picata and I had the 14oz Wagyu NY Steak. Our dinners were beautifully plated and delicious. We had a couple of perfect wines with our meal. For dessert wen split a Butter Cake which was decadently delicious! Truly a wonderful meal in a beautifully laid out restaurant!

    Very nice dinner, early so rather noisy with children. Server was very smart and held off to place the entrée order since my salad was large, ended up more than I could finish. Saved me money and I really appreciated the attention to detail. Thank you
