We tried this place bc of the reviews and so many raved about it in town… and it was just okay. Classic American menu. Got the meatloaf and it was very much like what you would make at home.Bar has some fun drinks! Many to choose from! They were yummy.Dessert- the crème brulee was good.

Great restaurant across the street from the Post Hotel. Healthy options and great drinks. It was quiet on a Sunday night and we were very well taken care of ??

We had a strange experience here. We were a work group ordering a lot —-apps, salads, entrees, drinks. We were the only group sitting in the bar. After two hours, we asked to order a third bottle of wine and the young waitress insinuated we needed to be cut off (from drinking,) and then didn’t return. We were all so taken aback by that, we just sat in silence. We had been having fun together, laughing and joking around — however, no one in our group had over two drinks in two hours, and we were eating plenty of food. I don’t think anyone was feeling the alcohol let alone needing to be cut off. Because of that strange interaction, we just decided to leave. We paid our already $700 bill and changed locations to spend our money elsewhere for wine and dessert.Other things to note — the bar area is incredibly hot, and it was close to unbearable. Also, my pork tenderloin was overcooked and unseasoned. The cheese plate appetizer was strangely small. The tuna carpaccio salad was basically a pile of arugala.If the food was good, I could overlook the judgement of that waitress…. However, I see no reason to return and wouldn’t recommend.

While nothing about our experience was bad, overall the quality of the food did not meet our high expectations.

We should have known this place is a joke after seeing the Heirloom Tomato Caprese. For $19 we got HALF of a tiny burrata. And then come artisan bread and butter with non toasted bread. Then come dried up flavorless pork tenderloin and salty meatloaf. We couldn't get out of there fast enough after the meal. Old World Chophouse, which is a block away is farrrr better with similar price point. Never again

Embarrassingly disappointing and would never recommend this place. On our way out I even had to ask if this restaurant was privately owned, or owned by investors, because I was that shocked by our experience and figured it had to be investors that didn’t care that much, because ultimately this review won’t do anything and people will continue to flood Leavenworth (restaurant privately owned I was told). We had to send two items back for smelling and tasting like dog water, for a fairly expensive drink (the ice was cloudy and smelled of sulfur for whiskey) and then ordered the tuna “carpaccio” to literally be served a whole box of arugula with 2 slivers of an onion and 3 piece of paper thin tuna to be the carpaccio. I wish I took a photo before we sent this back. I even asked the waitress to explain the dish to me, which she just said “I really don’t know”. Also, not one of our dishes looked or were composed how they were said to be online. And for the price point you’re paying in this town, it really should be. We joked about everything and managed to still have a good time, but no one even came to our table to acknowledge the incidences or apologize, which I’ve never experienced. For someplace that’s privately owned, usually the owner or manager will come over and see what they can do to make an experience better. Instead we were just met with annoyance and a slight passive aggressiveness.I noticed another review say to go to the Old World Chophouse instead, and I second it, they were great.Also as a side note, I was hoping for a better ambience of the restaurant with more decor. There’s not a whole lot going on, but it’s neat you can see into the kitchen and it’s a sizable restaurant.I just hoped for better quality of the service and food for the experience you pay for in not only being in Leavenworth, but dining at a “farm to table” restaurant, which is fair and valid.

This place is well worth the price; The food was very tasty and cooked just right, and we really enjoyed the peach cobbler desert. Also, the staff was very kind and welcoming.It's pretty close to the town center, so that's a plus.

Very expensive for the poor tasting food. We had to flag a waitress down to start our drink order. Way over priced and beware you have to pay $10.00 per person to do a reservation. I have never heard of this except in high end restaurant's in major cities.
