    Good but expensive for what you get. Wine too $$$. It was 3x+ what the store prices are. Nice decor though.

    Although I had a reservation , the server(who also seated us) didn’t bother to take my name, so had no idea of “special requests “. She was friendly, but distracted, and got several parts of both our orders wrong. Got the shrimp jambalaya, instead of snapper, which she returned to the kitchen and an additional 15 minute wait. Did not get the Yukon potatoes. My sister didn’t get avocado on her hamburger. Stale, hard bread was served when we were seated. Cocktails were “so-so”, certainly NOT worth $13 each. AND, although I declined a second cocktail, server brought it. Food was good, atmosphere was relaxing. BUT....This wasn’t a $145 meal, by any means....and I did leave a $20 tip, but reluctantly. I have eaten here before, always good service, but this was an extremely disappointing occasion.

    We came for the steak and it was outstanding. The bread and sides were fine but nothing special. Desserts were disappointing but the accompanying coffee was excellent. So overall, it was hit-or-miss but we enjoyed the ambience, had a pleasant server, and would probably give it another try some day.

    We were celebrating Valentines Day with friends. We had a nice quiet table in the bar, in front of the fireplace. We enjoyed the tomato bisque, the chopped salad, pork chops, and citrus cheesecake. After lunch, we lingered to visit with our friends and listen to the music that was played at just the right level to enjoy without making conversation difficult. We never felt rushed. It was a wonderful, relaxing meal - with great leftovers to take home.

    Excellent food and great service! The steak was prepared perfectly! The ambiance was a bit kitschy but relevant to the history of the building, so overall this is one of the best restaurant experiences we have had in Visalia.
