    From the hostess to wait staff, we're very impressed with their professionalism n customer service. Very welcoming! Our wait person, Mary is superb, made us feel like we were the only two in the restaurant; genuine and attentive, never rushed us through just to turn a table. This is the utmost quality service than what you'd get in Highlands, Highlands ranch or Cherry Creek. It's become our favorite place!

    Great service! Mediocre food. We looked and looked for a good place to eat in Aurora where we could take my senior citizen cousin for dinner. We made reservations for 6:30, but weren’t seated until 7:00. The hostess was nice though and told us they were hoping the table before us would leave soon. They didn’t, so the made an effort to put us in a different, quieter room, which was nice. Our waitress was fabulous and attentive, quick with the menus, drinks, and food and apologetic that we had to wait so long. Unfortunately, our food wasn’t too good. I had the short-rib tacos that were gristly and topped with weird potato crisps. No sauce or pico to liven it up. Just feta cheese. My son had lobster mac and cheese, which he usually loves and he just couldn’t eat it because it was cold and didn’t have a good flavor. Other son had buffalo pot roast, which was Ok. I tried one of his carrots, and it was so sweet, I nearly spit it out. Cousin had the short rib stroganoff. It looked the best, and she didn’t complain, but I hope it didn’t have the same gristly meat that my tacos did. Husband had salmon, and he liked it. I didn’t order any fish because they all had brown sugar glaze which is a big no for me when I’m hoping to eat healthy. Peanut butter pie was excellent.

    New chef, unfortunately. The seared ahi tuna, a longtime favorite of ours, was dreadful and sat on top of uncooked rice. The barbecue ribs were dried out (but covered in a tasty sauce). The manager was apologetic and adjusted the bill, but after many years of loving this place, we're afraid it may be time to move on.

    Nice place but everyone was seated in one area. I think because there was only one server. We were seated next to a very large, loud party so it was difficult to have a conversation.

    More of the great food we have come to expect of this local eatery. The prime rib I had was fantastic, as usual, and my wife said her Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin was excellent. I was a bit disappointed that the portions on the desert menu seems to keep shrinking, specifically the creme brûlée (about half of what it was in the early 2000's). Also, the green beans that came with my prime rib that evening were a bit too oily for my taste. Service and ambiance, as always, were superb.
