We had a wonderful meal! We frequent the BR and love the ambience, food and service ! Last night we enjoyed some amazing wine (Hundred Acre) and ordered the 32 oz. Porterhouse steak. Oh my gosh, it was amazing and plenty for two people. We had a salmon order in the group as well. Cooked perfectly and the service with “Riley” was outstanding. She was attentive and very polite throughout the meal. Merry Christmas and see you soon. Need to make reservations 4 weeks in advance !

An absolutely lovely evening. We started the evening with a Lemon Drop martini and a martini for the hubby. Very good. We began our foods with the Beef Carpaccio, excellent. The bread was substantial and very good with the Carpaccio. Sometimes it's too hard, this was great. The quail eggs were delicious. Rylie (sp?) our server helped my hubby decide on the Elk Tenderloin as he was undecided. I am so glad she did - WOW. One of the best pieces of meat either of us have ever had. I had the Filet and it was excellent. Overall, an outstanding experience and The Bluffton room has improved over the years to become a place to celebrate those special occasions or just to have the very good burger at the bar. Can't wait until next time!

Simply put, we have never had a bad experience at Bluffton Room! The oysters, raw and cooked were outstanding! Drinks are always made perfectly and wine list very good, although 5hey could add some very good wines to their $75 - $125 list. Steaks are cooked to perfection and flavorful. Fish dishes are cooked really well and pack a ton of flavor! The lamb pasta dish was very flavorful! We ended the night with the banana fosters which was a great ending to the night! Service by Tyannah was fantastic as always - so attentive and personable!

The bread was delicious. The Fois gras was awesome. The Caesar salad was very good . The side dishes were very good The Dover sole and shrimp dish was served cold, the sole was not fresh and the tiny 3 shrimp dried up. The entree was disappointing.
