    We were pleasantly surprised by how amazing this restaurant was, especially since it’s connected to our hotel. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the service was attentive, and the food exceeded our expectations. The steaks were incredibly flavorful, and the sea bass was perfectly cooked. The street corn and spicy grits were delicious sides that added a great touch to the meal. Definitely a spot we’d recommend!

    Our server Dakota did an excellent job as did all of the staff. My bacon wrapped pork tenderloin was wonderful and my wife’s duck breast was delicious as well. We visited on a Saturday night and the restaurant was pretty full and quite noisy.

    Dinner was outstanding and our server, Clay, was even better. The Green Chile Mac & Cheese side was very unique and our steak was done to perfection.

    We enjoyed the restaurant. We we were seated was right in front of the front door and there was a constant draft where we were seating as the double doors were open. Other than that service was very good, food was made as requested and we had a very nice dinner. Our server Thomas was very good, attentive, but not bothersome.
