About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

Named "Best Restaurant in South Dakota" 2015 by Business Insider

    Good food but our poor server was working more tables than usual. She still did a great job. The food was cooked well and presented nicely. Great experience overall.

    Everything was very good, from service to our food. I highly recommend the walleye, it was perfect. Also try the buffalo satay for a unique dish. Beer and wine menu was very good and offered a wide variety to choose from.

    Food is always excellent and no matter which server you get - they are personable and helpful. Hostess… no so much - she didn’t even look up when we came in and then we stood directly in front of her at the counter and she still didn’t acknowledge we were less than a foot from her. I cleared my throat and then she looked up- I said we had reservations and without a smile she said “follow me”. I would train these women on first impressions because they are impacting your customers overall experience
