    As usyal, the experience was great. Tonight we met a server new to us named Mary. She was very friendly and efficient. We had to chuckle when she asked if we had been there before, since in 2024 we had been at the Wheeling facility 53 times. Mary has been added to our list of favorite servers.

    We enjoyed the Valentines Day menu including bison meatballs, tomato & onion salad, petite filets, mashed potatoes , & chocolate cake! All were accompanied with a California red wine blend. Note to mgr: please put that tomato, onion & blue cheese salad on the regular menu… it was a winner! All food was cooked to perfection. Our server, Stacie, did an excellent job…courteous & fun! Even though it was a busy night, the service & food did not disappoint.
