Four of us for dinner and all drink orders were wrong. We hadn't even finished our salads and the food arrived...which wasn't even hot when it came.

tldr: We bought prime rib and was served sirloin, and the waiter was in such a hurry that I really shouldn't have left a tip

The interior ambiance for this place is not very cohesive. It feels like an Aztec design with some Midwestern furniture.

The service was less than standard. It was timely, but they tried to get us in and out as fast as they could. We also came specifically because it was supposed to have Cajun options for this evening, and there were none. We also ordered a second soup and were instead charged $17 for a salad bar. Even if I was going to eat from their salad bar, it didn't look to be worth $5.

The French onion soup was like someone read the basic ingredients needed but didn't try to add flavor or depth. We also ordered a 16 oz prime rib, and I don't care what they say because we were served sirloin. There was no marbling, it was tough, and it was overcooked.

We paid $70 + tip, and it wasn't worth it. We won't be going back.

I took my husband for an anniversary dinner. I told the hostess that it was our anniversary when I made the reservation. I reminded her when we came in. Our server never mentioned it; rushed us; they were out of prime rib. Not being from Fargo, I am sorry I chose this restaurant. There was no celebration, and there was a large party of very loud customers. Ruined our FIRST wedding anniversary. Not a place for an intimate dinner.

Shrimp cocktail was a little overdone and tough but the prime rib was delicious and I love the salad bar! Matt did a great job taking care of us. The atmosphere is always pleasant and I enjoyed the cow jokes in the men's room.

Parking: The spaces are a little chaotic but seems to be plenty of parking

Service was super slow and it wasn’t busy. The steak was super dry and flavorless. They said it was 9oz but it barely looked like it was 4oz. Pasta was luke warm.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy. We got there around 1800 and the sign said they closed at 2200. We ordered our food and got our salad bar. Another couple showed up right after we ordered our meals, about 1830 and our waitress told them if they wanted salad bar they needed to get it ASAP because they were taking it down to close. We waited multiple times for drink refills because our waitress was more interested in tearing down a salad bar so they could leave 2 hours early. We then had to box up and get our desserts to go because they were shutting down the kitchen and needed to do the dishes. Our romantic celebratory dinner ended up rushed and a little sad.

If you have One Stop in Fargo. This is it for drinks, atmosphere and personality. Great salad bar, plan to stay and relax. The patio a must in summer, otherwise the bar and warm fire seats are perfect.

First, I'd like to say our server was fantastic! She was kind, friendly, and attentive. The food, on the other hand, was a huge letdown. The steak had no flavor, and the potato was oddly off. It was somehow crunchy in spots. The salad bar was just okay. I figured for the price we were in for a real treat, but I felt I could probably make a better steak at home for a fourth of the price. My husband had the prime rib. He said it was fine, but again, he expected more flavor. He also ordered the broccoli for a side, and while my plate was mostly mushrooms, he was given about 3 pieces of broccoli. Maybe their other dishes are better, but we feel if you can't make a good steak, it's not worth another try. Especcialy with how expensive their prices are.

Made a reservation as we were coming in to town for a weekend getaway for our anniversary. Due to being unfamiliar with the city we ended up almost 30 min early. They didn't look super busy yet (our reservation was for 6 - we're old I know lol) so we asked if they could seat us early. They said they already had our table set up and had put us in an area where we were the only guests and able to enjoy our celebration without the chatter from other patrons. Even though the waiter forgot to put in our appetizer our food was delicious, service was excellent and these first time customers will definitely be back!
