    Best food in all of St. George. We've needed a high end restaurant like this for a long time. Recommend the beet salad, creamed corn, tallow fries, wagyu, fillet, creme brulee, and key lime. The mac-and-cheese is just okay. Can't wait to go back.

    Wow! What a difference! The steaks were cooked to perfection, and every side dish sang. The service was attentive and friendly. This was a fantastic dining experience, a real step up from our last visit. We'll definitely be back, and next time, we'll be sure to ask for Abe!

    Every thing was excellent. I ordered the pork chop , if you like smoked you will enjoy. I don’t like smoked and it was not clear in the menu.

    The food here is impeccable!! I had the Wagyu steak and it was delicious. It melts in your mouth with every bite. The funeral potatoes were so good and very unique. The creamed corn was a hit as were the tallow French fries. Topped it off with the crème brûlée and as a bonus for our anniversary they gave us a s’mores dessert. They were so delectable that I will keep coming back. Highly recommend every single thing that we tried.

    Very special dining experience. The quality of the food and the beautiful setting was just the beginning. The service was over the top. Tee was our server and she made our experience unique and memorable. French onion soup and the creamed corn are must haves.

    Food is good, very good. Service was good too, just make sure they don't stick you in a corner where you cannot enjoy that beautiful view. Happened to us twice, the second time I actually asked the host not to put us in a corner, so where did he seat us, in the corner.
