   Appetizer: Crab cakes - the outside was nice and crispy unfortunately the inside was not firm, it was thick and too soggy. We ordered the 6 ounce filet mignon medium rare. The steak was more like a New York. It was doused in demi-glaze and overcooked. We also ordered the seafood pasta. The weathervane scallops were undercooked. The shrimp and lobster were cooked nicely. It was not linguine noodles, rather spaghetti noodles and the olive oil sauce doesn’t mesh well with the dish. Neither of us finished our main entrées, Our server was lovely, the atmosphere was nice. The food leaves something be desired.

   The hostess was a little uncoordinated, and we had to wait to be seated. The waitress was amazing. There were lots of tabels available. The food was amazing. The kitchen was able to accommodate for a food allergy to milk products. Wonderful atmosphere

   Food was very good and well prepared. We went early and had a drink and appetizer in the saloon area. We really liked the ambiance with the music. We then sat in the dining area, but we preferred the saloon area because we couldn't really hear the background music and only heard the interactions between the cooks and wait staff. Just a preference thing, but the servers were very friendly and food was perfectly prepared. They even gave us a dessert for our anniversary we were celebrating.

   Not a great experience this time. Last time was unbelievably good but waited almost 2 hours for our dinner with no acknowledgement during our time there.

   Might have been an off night, but it took over 2 hours to get our food on 12/20/24. Food was great when we finally got it & they gave us a round of drinks for our wait!

   For a steak house, they did a very poor job cooking steaks. We've dined all over the countryand we found ourselves extremely disappointed. The steaks were all a midquality cut, not aged at all, including the prime rib. We ordered a rare and med rare prime, both came out rare. We ordered a med rare ribeye that came out medium. All were very grisley. They also weren't very flavorful. Minimal seasoning and crusting on the prime, and the rib eye was slightly bitter, as if they used a very low quality animal. The carpaccio was somewhat flavorless, unless you count the overwhelming taste of the powdered parmesean they dusted it with. The mushroom and smashed potato side dishes were wonderful, as well as the fruit crisp. Overall, if you want to be impressed with your food, I would eat elsewhere. If you're okay with paying premium for getting grocery store quality, here is ok.

   Server was very pleasant. Food was good. Two had prime rib and really liked it. My ribs were tasty but pretty fatty. A steak was a little too gristly. Rice and cornbread were dry. Ambiance was very nice overall.

   The food was very good and our waiter was good. However the hour wait to finally get our main course seems to be a problem in the kitchen management.

    Prime Rib was excellent! Place was nearly empty around 5pm that should have been our first red flag. Service was below average, refilled a Diet Pepsi once had to ask for ketchup multiple times and different staff. And the Prime Rib did not come with anything, had to order a side for anything no veggies or potatoes. For the price even if they raised the price I would expect my plate to include more than one just a cut a prime rib. Prime Rib was amazing. Only one tv near the bar.
