Kinda gimmicky place and way overpriced. Service was ok at best. They have a weird thing to make them seem fancy by having you select your steak knife from a wood case. Food was not that special

I ordered the risotto. Not sure is it was over cooked and/or overdressed. It was a big gummy mess. My husband ordered a steak. Very expensive. By the end of the meal he had a large pile of fat on his plate. I've never been to a “steakhouse” and had such a poor steak! Very slow service which wasn't really an issue, however, it would have been nice if our server checked on us. We will not be eating at this establishment again. We were very disappointed.

Poorly managed, the manager is rude, her and her team cannot turn tables to keep reservations on time and told us we could eat in the lobby if we didn’t want to wait an indefinite amount of time past our 9pm reservation, or she’d just cancel our reservation if we didn’t like those options. After spending thousands on our stay at the hotel, this is not the service our two families traveling together expected. Would avoid at all costs unless you want to wait forever and be talked down to and then handed a check for hundreds of dollars for that pleasure. We left and ate elsewhere - no way we’d be giving them a dollar of our money. The manager couldn’t manage her way out of a paper bag. They should fire her and I’m sure things would improve. Poor management starts at the top.

The service here was the worst I’ve had in years, and for the price point, absolutely atrocious. Food was fine, but I’m vegetarian, and the options are fairly limited. I ended up with a side of mac n cheese and a side of asparagus. $50 for two sides, might I add.
Our reservation was for 9 pm (we arrived at 9:04 pm) and we weren’t seated until 9:30. Then, drinks took 20+ minutes to arrive, and we had to check up on them and were told “the bar was backed up.” No one came to take our order until 9:45 pm, despite being one of only 5 tables at the restaurant. It then took an additional hour for our food to arrive (10:45 pm). I genuinely cannot justify a $200 dinner for a meal that wasn’t served until an hour and 45 minutes after our reservation. I hear they have great steak. I obviously couldn’t try it to tell you, but my experience was definitely a bad one.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and wonderful service. A little surprised there wasn't a dress code. Not that I care, but it was strange sitting in such a fine dining like environment next to people dressed in hoodies and beanies. May have thrown off the ambience a little bit. Definitely expensive, but the portions were large and overall experience made it worth it. Lots of nice touches like getting to pick your own steak knife, palette cleaners between courses, smoked salmon with the bread, etc. Will definitely return for special occasions.

Overall, we left disappointed — we really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, both the food and service fell short of expectations. The lemon-zesty palate cleanser was disliked by 4 out of 5 of us, the mashed potatoes were overly salty, and the tenderloin wasn't as good as what we've had at other less expensive steakhouses. On a positive note, the cocktails and the surf and turf dishes were acceptable and the ambience was very nice.

This is one of our absolute favorite restaurants! Matthew has been our waiter the last couple times and he is awesome. The drinks, appetizers, main dishes and desserts are all incredible. We are never disappointed by the quality of food and even the chef sends out little bite starters and sorbet to cleanse our palette in between courses that is perfect. We look forward to coming here everytime and is a favorite restaurant of ours in all of Idaho, if not nationwide. The combinations of ingredients, freshness and quality of the meat is superb... And it's family friendly with kids menu options to choose from. They have a great selection of wines or we have brought our own for a minimal cork fee. We truly love this hidden gem in mccall - just make reservations ahead of time so you can secure a table, it's well worth it!!

Reservations highly advised. Just moved to town the week before the holidays. Took my wife to celibate this next chapter. Food was exceptional. A little bit of a longer wait to get my check. But that can happen.

Our experience here for the first time was really special! We brought the family here for the week of Christmas. The steak was fantastic and prepared perfectly! Getting to choose your steak knife was a lot of fun! Our server was really attentive and brought everything out at the perfect pace to allow us to try an assortment of everything on the menu. The oysters were super fresh and delicious! The cocktails were great too.

My friends and I went there for dinner last night, and it was honestly very disappointing. All three of us ordered the short rib, and it was so tough that two of us couldn’t even eat it. We were really looking forward to the meal, so this was especially frustrating.
Our server did offer to replace our meals, which we appreciated, but by that point we had already been there for quite a while and didn’t have the time to wait for new dishes to be prepared. Instead, we were offered a complimentary dessert, but unfortunately that didn’t make up for the overall experience.
I have not been impressed with the new chef. Over the last three visits, the service has been excellent, but the food has not met the standard this restaurant has previously set. This has always been my favorite restaurant, so I'm genuinely disappointed to see the food quality decline.

Excellent steaks. Cooked perfectly. Service was excellent. A little bit on the pricey side, but overall worth it.

What a shame. I used to work at this historical landmark and gem of Idaho, and it so mismanaged had been for some time. We arrived at 7pm and dining room wasn't even half full and nobody had food in front of them.
Server handed us the menu and didn't care to tell us about all the 86'ed items. After we made our selections we were told they were out of nearly all the things we wanted. Staff is amateur hour considering the price tag.
Since they were out of most of our menu selections, we ended up paying for our wine and getting a steak at Lardo's across the street.
Don't get your hopes up on this one. View is beautiful; service and overall management is deplorable.

Horrible experience. We went there for our 10 year anniversary dinner and they were out of everything. First we ordered French onion soup, they were out of it. Then we ordered NY strip steaks, they were out of those. Then we ordered ribeyes, guess what, they were out. Our waiter finally told us they were out of a lot of things on the menu. After that we asked for our bill, paid for our two glasses of wine, and left. To set the stage, this was a Friday night at 7pm and the dining room was only half full. Pretty restaurant, but for what they are charging it is run very poorly.

Everything was fantastic: atmosphere, food (stuffed mushrooms and SRF American Wagyu flat iron steak), wine, service and ambience. The chefs at this property are excellent and this definitely showed during this experience!
