    This is our second time here. We were excited to bring family celebrating their 19th wedding anniversary. We were a little disappointed with some aspects of our experience. Our server was not the friendliest. He seemed annoyed with our questions and pace. Our food was cold. My steak was the wrong temperature. When I asked about my half eaten steak being wrong, he said I should have told him earlier. The flavors were good. The drinks were good. The cost was to be expected BUT with many dining options in SD, we won’t be back.
