First visit here 7/24/25. We ordered calamari and the waiter brought the wrong appetizer. Once correct appetizer was served it was like rubber and so salty you could not eat it. When letting our server know, she told the manager I think, the lady behind the bar. Well that didn't go over well because we could overhear her comments and she did not like that we did not care for the calamari. Then I ordered Salmon with risotto that was WAY too salty and the salmon still had the dark fat on one side (gross) My husband ordered the filet medium rare and potato. Little did we know that the 30 minute later when we arrived home he was in the bathroom violently sick. Once that was over he was perfectly fine....we will not return I am so sorry to say.

A Fresh Addition to Our Dinner Rotation

Lately, I've been on the hunt for new places to eat, those rare gems that haven’t slowly declined in quality and service over the years. So many of our old go-to spots have started phoning it in, and I was honestly starting to lose hope.

Then we came across this place, and wow, what a breath of fresh air. The Prime Rib lived up to the rave reviews I'd seen. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and plated like they still care which, sadly, feels like a dying art these days. I'm glad I made the trip just to try it, and it didn’t disappoint.

Huge shout out to the bartender, too, he was an absolute blast. Took the time to chat with my wife and me, really tuned in to the kind of drink I was in the mood for, and nailed it. It wasn’t just great service, it was a fun interaction, and that goes a long way.

The vibe was spot-on for a Friday evening: hip but not pretentious, with just the right touch of upscale ambiance. You can tell this place was built for people who appreciate good food, good drinks, and a good time.

We’ll definitely be back and I’m honestly relieved to have found a new spot that I can confidently slide into the rotation as some of our former favorites fade out.

Every time I come here on the Thursday midday Madeline has been here and taking the best care of us that we could have possibly hope for. The food is always on point the wine is always fantastic The service is always top-notch and they always go above and beyond to make you feel valued and appreciated. No joke anytime you want to stop and have a chill meal or even something a little more upscale where you put on some nice clothes just for the sake of wearing them check out retro metro over by Hudson hawk and make sure if you go in in the evenings you ask for Madeline or Thursday during the day you ask for Madeline there's nobody better

Me, my husband, and 2 sons had no idea this restaurant existed. We found it online and went and it has now become our favorite restaurant here. Beautiful place with such nice vibes. The food is actually so yummy, it’s actually seasoned and season SO well. I got a steak and it was perfect, my 7 year old kept eating off my plate too. Not 1 complaint about the food, actually perfect, my kids and husband felt so too. My 7 year old said “this should be our new family dinner spot :) They are so welcoming and kind even with our young kids. Madelyn, I believe was our sever, she had long blonde hair, she was just the best, she put so much energy, patience, kindness, and attention into every interaction with us. I hope her boss values her and treat her so good cause she’s a keeper. They gave us these little cookies at the end and it was the perfect way to end dinner. Even the bathrooms had feminine products, lotion, perfume, floss, all sorts of things that other places don’t think of. So much detail. It is so much better than other restaurant in town in my opinion, I truly mean that. We ordered pick up for dinner from here a few days later cause we couldn’t stop thinking about the food lol 10/10. Go try this place!!

We went here one night for a double date. The table had the flashed fried spinach for app. Bistro 160 in Nixa has the best! This was very good, but I wish it were a little less greasy from the parm. The table also got prime rib house cut (served only Friday I believe $45). It was seasoned very well and the sauces paired great. The cook was executed well. We shared a tiramisu for dessert. It was one of the sweeter tiramisu I have had. Look at the size! I prefer mine more of a savory espresso flavor. This place is very much on the pricier side so be prepared to spend well over $100! The food is good tho. We would like to try more off the menu. Reservations recommended especially on the weekend.

They ran out of food that was listed on the menu at 6:15 on a Thursday. The cook does not know the difference between medium well and medium,raw. Ran out of water. Had to ask another person walking by for sour cream. The baked potato only came with butter, five pieces of broccoli. The meal cost $140 for two of us. I tipped $5 just because I'm generous. Hope you have better luck. Update- They reached out and wanted to make it right, Something that is rare in customer service anymore. I understand that no one is perfect (Except my wife) and is willing to put out the effort to improve deserves respect.

Hands down, Springfield’s BEST restaurant. The meal starts with a complimentary wine pour and charcuterie at every table. Legendary flash fried spinach appetizer, great wedge and Caesar, steaks are perfect - ribeye, tenderloin, and more (scallops, salmon). Festive atmosphere with 70-80’s playlist and original art on every wall. The service is as good as the food. Crème Brûlée was amazing. AND SELENA, our serve, was at our table no less than a dozen times to ensure everything was just right - with knowledgeable recommendations and attentiveness. Ask for her section if she’s available. Owned and operated by 417 natives…so they know the town, the clientele and how to give Spfd the best dining experience. Easy close parking.

Five stars seems extreme BUT I really couldn't find fault. I dined there with friends (my 1st time) and found the service to be - just right - our waiter appearing just before we knew we needed something. The food was certainly the star - real food, well seasoned and TASTY!! I'll be a referring & returning customer.

The food and service are fantastic, but it isn't quiet or romantic like you might expect at $70+ per person. It's kind of a crazy loud wild place where gen z goes to party.

I’m visiting a good friend and we met two of her friends here for dinner. The friendship, drinks, dinner, and dessert were fabulous. The waiter was a good sport. I will definitely come back when I return to Springfield.

I had a wonderful time at this restaurant. We went there with group of girls for my sister’s b-day. We were greeted with complementary wine with plate of cheese, olives, and prosciutto. After , our server got our order and brought another complimentary bread with sauce. I ‘ve ordered Victoree ribeye. It was flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. It was served with amazing potato gratin and vegetable salsa. My sister ordered chicken Parmesan, I thought it was ok, she really liked it though. My other sis got lamb chops with green beans, she loved it as well. My mom got sea bass, it was delicious, but the risotto on the side was just ok. We also ordered some deserts. Birthday girl got a free chocolate cake with candle! Also they brought us complementary champagne with it. My aunt got cherry pie, it was super good , it tasted like homemade. We had a wonderful and unforgettable time at this place. Also , our server Madeline , was outstanding at doing her job. She was very sweet, caring, and made our day brighter. Definitely, would want to come back for the same experience!
