Both the food and service were outstanding. Had the deviled eggs as the appetized but should probably have tried the recommended cornbread or Fuyu Persimmon Carpaccio. I had the short ribs which were so tender I could just touch them with my fork, and the sides were delicious. My other half had the Kurobuta Pork Chop, which from my taste was also perfectly prepared. We took their suggestion for the Apple Pie Bread Pudding for dessert and it did not disappoint. Drinks were well presented and just right. Highly recommend.

We arrived early, so we got drinks at the bar and sat by the fireplace while we waited. The blended rye old fashioned was delicious! Once sat, our waiter David greeted us and his recommendations were great! We had the onion rings to start and they were PERFECT! We both ordered the 13oz ribeye which were cooked to perfection as well! Last, but surely not least, we had the pecan pie for dessert. The crust of the pie is cinnamon rolls! That dessert was outstandingly good and sweet! We will return for round two very soon!
