We made reservations and seated promptly. Our waitress Madison was excellent, very friendly and attentive. Our meals were delicious, we ordered trout, 28 oz rib eye (we shared this) and NY strip streak. Order mushrooms, Mac and cheese, and bake potatoes as our sides. The bread also was delicious We would return when we got back to Gaitlenburg!!!!!
