Excellent service, and food. A perfect meal. Can’t say enough great things about the staff and food. We are from out of town and so glad a local told us this was a must visit. Thanks again for a fantastic last meal in Sioux Falls.

Amazing food and great service. But this is definitely a “special occasion” restaurant. Almost $200 for the 2 of us- just for 2 dinners and a glass of wine each.
