Steakhouse

Top Tags:

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.

I was hesitant to eat here after a few recent negative reviews about the food/service but took the leap anyways. I am very glad I did. Food was excellent, specifically the chislic, and food was cooked as ordered. Our server was also very attentive and kind. Would highly recommend!

Our server, Kelsey, was the best part of our evening! Fun, upbeat, responsive. We loved her! The food however was not up to the usual expected standards! Steaks were over done, and chislic was tough! We have been regulars and always get the chislic because it has been consistently good up until now! We took friends because we wanted to share how great the food was, which made the experience even more disappointing! Hope they pick up the quality and consistency next time!
