    Filet was cooked to order at medium rare and very flavorful. Also, the bison meatballs were very good. My husband loved the bacon wrapped scallops also.

    Onion soup was split between the 2 of us and was good. Prime rib was just good and the knife wasn’t sharp enough. Turkey dinner was good. And the onion rolls were delicious!

    I went out of my way to write a review for this restaurant because the hospitality was outstanding.- something you don't always see these days. Every employee was extremely friendly and polite, no attitudes or bad vibes anywhere. Greeted and said hello by almost anyone we passed. Went for Mother's Day and the food was good, prices reasonable, waiter was excellent and helpful. Just watch out for the 3.5% service charge they automatically tack on because of inflation or something, but if you ask they are more than happy to remove it. Considering this is a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant, and not a struggling mom and pop, it's a bit ludicrous for them to get over on customers that way. Other than that, a great experience - from the host to the waiters to the food. Highly recommend.

    The restaurant was EMPTY. Our party of 7 were sat at the table closest to kitchen so loud and not a nice view. Waited 10 minutes before a waiter came to table. We received our appetizer and almost finished it before our drinks finally arrived. Had to flag down someone from waitstaff to order more drinks. Order was correct and food was good. When the bill finally came , I asked for the 3%surcharge to be removed from bill and also gave the waiter a gift card along with my credit card for payment. I informed the waiter about the gift card. When I got the bill back the 3% was NOT taken off nor was the gift card. applied to the balance. Waited for waiter to come back and finally brought bill up to front desk. Manager was called and came out a few minutes later. Took approximately 15 minutes to get corrected. When I got the corrected bill it just showed the balance but did not have a line to put tip on. Manager and waiter had disappeared , waited a few more minutes .... Ended up putting cash for tip and left. Food was good but certainly wasn't worth the frustration. The service ruined the night!!!

    Wonderful restaurant. Great food and service. Warm ambience, and not too loud like some other restaurants can be. Love the onion bread with whipped butter they put on the table. Entrees are great and incredible sides. And nice to earn "Lettuce Entertain You" points.
