Everything was perfect! The atmosphere, the service, the food! We had the House Focaccia, French Onion Soup, Elk, Steak Skewers w/ fries, Oyster Rockefeller and side of Button Mushrooms. All were Seasoned well and cooked to perfection! This was my first visit, and I'm sure to return. I highly recommend, as this is now my favorite restaurant in Bowling Green!BTW, the French Onion Soup is the best I've had, against many others in the U.S. Ya gotta try it! ?

Awesome Easter brunch, a buffet so loaded with delicious food it deserves a better name. Maybe a little pricey, but everyone left feeling totally delighted and satisfied, looking forward to an encore some day.!

Dined here for dinner with a big group (my family). Hands down the best Mac and cheese I have ever had!!! Their roasted carrots were scrumptious. Their steaks were perfection. Melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Service was outstanding. It's a good thing I'm not a local. Just a wonderful meal. Not a complaint in the group of 16 people!

Hickory & Oak. What can I say?The atmosphere speaketh to mine soul. The music of the air filled my heart as the flavors of the bacon cornbread strummed my palate.The tender filet covered in bone marrow butter harkened to a time of men with no razors to hide the grizzled beards earned in the wilderness.12/10 would recommend.

Fabulous fine dining, start to finish. There's no upcharge for sharing, and that's good because everything is big enough to share. Perfect service from Graham and everyone else who helped us. Great cozy atmosphere. Best dining experience yet in Bowling Green. I can't recommend highly enough.

Since The Food Network raved about this Restaurant, we truly anticipated a 5-star experience. Unfortunately, what started out as a 5, turned into a 2. The starters were exceptional! We ordered the house focaccia and the creole shrimp cocktail, which had a fabulous flavor. We ordered The Surf and Turf main course which is the filet and lobster combination. The filet wasn’t cooked properly. It was undercooked. The lobster tail was very small and was stuck to the shell. The Brussels sprouts were overcooked. The filet was undercooked, it dropped blood all over my plate, running into the hollandaise sauce. I had to send my filet back which now caused my lobster tail and Brussels sprouts to cool off. My filet was better but still not cooked correctly. The truffle rosemary fries were too salty. I didn’t taste any truffle either. To conclude, this $200 meal was a huge disappointment.

I can't believe how fantastic our upscale dining experience was. No need to dress up for a phenomenal experience or treatment. Huge for us. ? The menu is bursting with seasonal and high quality locally sourced delights, with rare drink options and wild game meats. We enjoyed their Elk with bone marrow butter, incredible steak, wonton appetizer, whipped potatoes and collard greens, along with the pineapple cake dessert – absolutely divine. They take their house-made sauces, butters, sourcing, and preparation seriously; Nearly nothing feels like an afterthought. The ambiance - think high-quality, comfortably upscale, clean and totally modern. Staff is intuitive, thoughtful, well trained and versed with the company, customers and menu. It's the perfect place to unwind, surrounded by amazing company and folks, and indulge in some truly unique dishes.

Overall disappointed. The food was good as usual however, I’m starting to question the value at about 85 or $95 a person not including drinks! I suggest being seated as far away from the bar as possible as it is too noisy and you can’t carry on a conversation at a reasonable level. The big disappointment came at dessert time. When I asked for a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream, the server was a bit blunt and unfriendly, and said that I could not have a scoop of ice cream, and that I would have to buy something else with it. I told him all I want is a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream and he said bluntly that he would have to check with the manager. When the server came back, he told me that the manager said I could not have a scoop of ice cream by itself. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. The manager needs to realize that customers pay his wage. We’re going to try Tony’s up on lovers Lane next time we go out for dinner. All I wanted was a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream.
