    Food is excellent! Ambiance could use some help. Inside was very crowded and noisy, so we chose to sit outside. They had the plastic siding down even though there was no rain, and really loud fans running. Seems like they could have just opened the plastic a bit for a breeze. But the food and service was best I've had in a long time.

    Great experience. Our server was excellent. The 4 course meal was incredible value for the quality of food. The only negative was that we had to wait for 20 minutes after our reservation time.

    One of my favorite places when I’m in Davenport, however this time around I had an issue with my salad. I wound up just eating the protein off of it left the entire salad.

    This was a disappointing 2nd visit. We had a new server being trained who was polite, but the trainer was overbearing and we caught her yelling at him several times. She also kept assuming we wanted the largest available portions of everything, which felt like a pushy upsell. Maybe it helps them up the bill to increase tips but its very off-putting. The food was OK, we all did prime rib cooked differently, but the taste was barely distinguishable. The sides were cooked decently. The wine selection is fairly mediocre and unlike our first visit, we had to go to the bar to get our wine because they were too busy to pour it at the table. Probably won't be back soon

    We had an excellent meal. Our server Jason was fantastic too. Only complaint was how loud it was in the restaurant.

    Enjoyed the special offerings on the menu. Our dinners were nice sized portions that were very tasty. Was hoping for some musical entertainment as the website had a “Music Tonight” posting. However that was not happening. Only drawback to the dining experience was the very inattentive server. Other servers had to pick up the slack and also joked about her performance.

    Booked reservation and arrived early. Seated promptly outside by entrance. The place was packed...hence, quite loud. We ordered as sides .. sweet potato fries and onion rings which we were charged extra for .. guess we didn't know they were premium sides. Will take more care reading the menu if we go again.

    We love this restaurant and will definitely be back but my strip steak was very tough and my husband’s ribs were not done as much as you normally do them. The green beans were amazing. It was a Sunday and we realize that can be an off day at a restaurant. We will be back the next time we are in town.
