    Great experience! I thought the final cost for everything was overvalued, however, worth paying. Food was great and service was great.

    Very expensive and fair service. Dinner took an hour to come out and when finished we were left without service for 20 minutes just needing to pay the check. For the price of nearly $100 person it fell short of our expectations.

    We had 5 people- ordered a ribeye, filet, elk loin and a burger. All of the meat was very overcooked. Ordered medium rare to medium for everything and it came out medium to medium well. Burger was well done. $800 dinner with tip.

    Beautiful restaurant with excellent service. The braised short rib appetizer was delicious. Beet salad dressing was not our favorite. Elk was chewy and hard to cut through strap. Cocktails were very fruity even after ordering very light on juice. Brussels sprouts had way too much cheese on them. Nice dinner but for the price it was disappointing.
