    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.

    Terrible experience. Waitress very friendly which honestly was only positive of the evening. Apps come cold, no utensils and when asked for them they don’t bring for 5 min. Patio tables are right by the entrance and overflow patrons all wait around your tables and stare at you. Steak comes and was ordered medium and it looked like an old shoe without the toppings ordered. Sent back and manager came out with new one which was a lot better. Not sure how anyone gives this place a 4 or 5 star. Very disappointing

    Nice place, I'd go back. We were seated "outside", a covered porch area with a concrete floor and drop sides. They had a fan blowing directly on my wife. we had to ask a few times if there was something that could be done. She had her jacket and my jacket on and the table cloth as a scarf just to let you know how cool it was. It wasn't until sometime that they turned off the fan which helped. Also, there was a family with children where the kids were literally screaming and they were not special needs children or even that young, about 4-5 years old. I can't really fault the restaurant for the lack of parenting, the oldest in their party, possibly a grandmother told the children to be quiet, but it was to no avail. I mention this because it does affect the atmosphere. The food is good and other than the lack of attention to the patrons' comfort, the service is good. Just a warning, the place can be noisy and a bit uncomfortable, but otherwise, very good. I's go back.

    Prime Rib Thursday. It was wood grilled and delicious. Service was fast and Brie was awesome! They have some great coupons, but make sure to read fine print. Monday thru Wednesday. Still worth the trip..
