Food was great, but very expensive, they only let you use two credit cards per party and, automatically charge 20% gratuity. Waiter was not helpful or attentive.

Visit for a nice special event. The prices are very high but the food is very well prepared. They were moderately busy but service was slow. It seemed like our waiter had too many tables to watch over. The food came out quickly but was incorrect on two orders. However, what we had was absolutely delicious. 8 people in our group and everyone enjoyed what they had.

We had a wonderful dinner celebrating my birthday. We ordered the tomahawk steak, mashed potatoes & smoked salmon dip. It was all incredible! Only downfall was there was wasn’t a kids menu (or at least not one presented to us). We also did a wine flight & my husband ordered some cognac.

Excellent food and service. Our reservation was early - 4pm. We didn't realize the dinner menu would not begin until 5pm, but our server worked with us to get our order for dinner into the kitchen at 5pm. From 4-5 we enjoyed an appetizer and bottle of wine. We had plenty time to enjoy the appetizer and our dinner without rushing. Both the food and wine were excellent, and of course the setting is beautiful. Server (Olivia from Ellensburg) was truly excellent, cheerful, and helpful. The only 'negative' comment was that the parking lot and walkways were very icy and slick. I know we can't control the weather, but a little extra deicer in walkways would be great.

Have been going to this restaurant for years, but had a very disappointing experience this time. Quality of food has degraded over the years. Really poor customer service this time. Very rude treatment by front of the restaurant staff and the lady who claimed to be a manager when we tried to make a simple change to the reservation time.

Prior to arrival, we were told our tables would be away from the bar. We were placed next to the bar. We asked if we could move our tables closer together prior to the event, the answer was yes. When we arrived, they said it was an absolute no. They had to maintain spacing which was not even i We would have opted for the private event room had we known this. Otherwise, the waiters were excellent. They apologised and said if it were up to them, they would have made it work.

Excellent service and always a great night here. Special occasion dinner this time and the only disappointment in the evening was that the table couldn't be decorated fir the big event (I was told when I booked that I could bring confetti, but when we arrived the manager said confetti was too messy). Most notable: We had 5 tenderloin orders and EVERY SINGLE order was cooked to absolute perfection!
