Steakhouse
We’ve always believed that dining should be a social occasion, a time when friends, family, and coworkers can enjoy great conversation over a great meal.

We believe in supporting our local artisans and staying connected to our Black Hills community. At a time when the area is growing and expanding, we are striving to keep the flavor of the region alive.

Inspired by the history of this area, both the aesthetics of the building and the diversity of the menu are true to our local roots, something no nation-wide franchise can duplicate. Certainly, there are other steakhouses out there, but none like ours.

From the first design to the actual construction, we have focused on creating a balance between upscale dining and a casual atmosphere-crafting a chic steakhouse where the kids are welcome too.

The rest is easy-buy the very best meat possible and prepare it correctly.

    It was a great way to finish our journey through South Dakota… The Dueling Tournedos were absolutely delicious, perfectly prepared and beautifully presented on the plate. The price was very reasonable, the wine selection was fantastic but make sure to make reservations or you may not get to enjoy it. Bar seating was available and was a nice place to relax before dinner. Kat, our server, was very attentive and very professional also and we just enjoyed every part of it. Thank you

    Love the atmosphere. Best in town. Food is good but was disappointed this time with house salad. Appeared to be poured out of a bag with lots of big chunks of romaine. Waiter was very good.

    Were on the road, traveling from Maine. I was looking forward to my favorite cut, a good ribeye. It seems lately steak houses have been disappointing. My order is either overcooked or too lean. Fat is flavor. I splurged and ordered the dry aged ribeye. I was not disappointed. To wash it down I had a cold Sam Adams. Coming from New England, I was surprised they had it on draft. Most places only offer IPAs. Not a fan. The waiter, (a young guy, wish I could recall his name) was friendly and attentive, without being a bother. He pointed out that there were two large parties that had just arrived around the same time as us. And suggested we get our order in quick. I do recommend making reservations. All in all, a great place for a steak. Thanks.

    We were promptly and nicely greeted however, our table wasn’t ready so we got a drink at the bar. We ended up sitting at the bar because we met a nice couple and there was room. The kitchen had issues and it took a really long time to get our food, nearly an hour, and it was getting late. Another couple had the same problem and they left before eating. The GM comped half the bill, which was the right thing to do. I hope they iron out the issues, because it’s a nice place and the food is very good.

    The kitchen was frozen and could not keep up with orders. We waited 80 minutes for our food, as did other guests. Had our reservation not been at 8PM with few other restaurant options nearby, I would have walked out. The complimentary desserts were not adequate compensation for the experience.

    The service and food were outstanding. This is a high end restaurant along with higher costs. They did run out of Creme' Brulee which was frustrating, but we opted for a different dessert which was delicious. Very prompt service!

    Server wasn't having a good night... Spilled our wine on the table and got the wrong bottle of wine. Server was pretty much absent for the latter part of the meal. Filet was chewy. My wife's shrimp and brussel sprouts were very good. Definitely not as good as our first meal there.

    Service was excellent, but food was cold. We asked to have our meals reheated and when the food was brought to our table after reheating the butter on my baked potato was not melting, so clearly not reheated. Creme Brulee was overcooked and stuck to the bottom of the dish, tasted like vanilla pudding, too firm and not creamy. Food was fairly priced but for $45 per meal expected more. We will not be returning.

    We were celebrating an anniversary for our friends. We all ordered the sirloin steak special at $48 per plate. Our steak was over cooked and only a fair cut of beef. We did not finish our steaks. Just not good. Potatoes and dessert were good. This was our first and last dinner at this restaurant.

    I am a steak snob and the filet mignon was excellent! My wife got the beef tips which were super good too! We also got the Three Sisters soup, shaved Brussels spouts and the Indian bread all super good. Highly recommend this restaurant and ignore to poor comments. The restaurant is so popular the walk ins were turned away after 4:30pm. The place was already full and just reservations were taken the rest of the evening.

    On our road trip through the Midwest, we’ve eaten in several steakhouses. The ribeye here was the best we had. It was cooked exactly as we’d ordered and was flavorful and tender. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was comfortable and unpretentious. Prices were reasonable.
