Decided to try this place for dinner at 6pm. Started with cheese curds for an appetizer. 2 of us ordered cheeseburgers, one ordered prime rib (med-rare) 20 minutes after our order was placed, server tells us kitchen is out of burgers but that they could run to the store to get more hamburger, it'd just take longer. I wasn't really interested in anything else so I politely declined to order saying I was full from the appetizer (which was pretty much true) the other person decided on chicken strips. Order came out and one of chicken strips were raw on one end. Told server and when she offered to replace it he said no it wasn't necessary. Prime rib was tough but we didn't say anything about it. We were just wanting to go at this point.Check comes (keep in mind, ever since I declined ordering something else server did not ask me anything or make eye contact) and nothing is comped. Terrible business for that alone. Disgusted I paid and we left and no one said anything to us. And we will not be backVery disappointing

This place is amazing! Immediately when we walked in, we were greeted with a cozy and classy atmosphere. The soft jazz music sets a relaxing mood. When the food came, we were most delighted with the most flavorful meal I've ever had in a restaurant!The green beans were so delicious! One of my biggest pet peeves is flavorless food. This place offers so many different flavors for the palate! For our meals, I had the 8 oz. filet, and my hubby had the 14 oz. ribeye, and we both added the grilled jumbo shrimp. Steaks were cooked to PERFECTION...and again...flavor to die for! I like the flavor of meat, so I expect the flavor of the meat to not be hidden. It was salted just enough without all the other seasonings, which is perfect for a steak. The shrimp was amazing! We had FAST, friendly service! My only regret was not getting photos of the food! I was too distracted by the deliciousness to even think about photos! Come eat here...you won't regret it! ?

My prime rib was overdone. The flavor was good. My wife thought the French dip was really good. The service was a bit slow.

I had a steak dinner and everything was excellent including the service. I really don't know why they are not open all week. The food there is excellent.

I’m leaving a one star review because this place is open Thursday -Sunday and we’ve been here twice this summer and both times there has been a sign on the door Like this. Terrible!! If you’re only open 4 days a week you need to be OPEN.
