    Food was excellent. Well taken care of by server. The Bar needs attention. Basically a mixed drink bar - need selections of bourbons and rums for those that like their drinks "neat". Only rum selections were Bacardi and Captain Morgan??? I would go back for the food only.

    Cam was our server and she was perfect. We were dining to celebrate my wife’s birthday and this was the perfect place to celebrate. Appetizers were amazing, as were the entrees and the wine. Fantastic chocolate torte, with a candle, for dessert.

    Both of our dinners were absolutely fabulous! I had the elk and my girlfriend had the scallops. The scallops were on a bed of a risotto that was infused with truffle oil. We had two 5 star rated dinners before us!  The elk dinner had a variety of very interesting and wonderful additions on the plate. At the base was a portion of mashed sweet potatoes and the elk sat on top. I wasn’t quite sure how this would taste mixing a “sweet potato” with meat right on top of it, but the surprise was ready to come.   The mashed potatoes were infused with a mix of nutmeg/cinnamon, and after about five seconds, after biting into it, a subtle punch of cayenne pepper took over for the finish. It was not overpowering in fact, everything was balanced perfectly.  That first bite was a wonderful surprise. That was unexpected! The garnish was marinated watermelon radishes along with grilled onions. This was a Michelin level dinner that was outstanding and unforgettable …. Nate was our waiter who did an outstanding job for us. Young man willing to help and go above and beyond. Very friendly and engaging and was a pleasure.
