    Server was great. I have also have been B&B several times. Came to celebrate my 90 days sobriety. Disappointed couple of the items we really wanted were only available on the Happy Hour menu in the bar and we could not order at our table. Since we were there for to celebrate my sobriety I did not really want to sit at the BAR top.

    Decor was very nice. The tomahawk was amazing. Service was very slow even though it appeared there was full staff. The sides were small and cold. The floor manager was really nice as was our server.

    Father’s Day Brunch menu - we had Chicken Froed Steak and Eggs Benedict. Both were delicious! Not one scrap of food left on the plate! Staff were attentive and kind.

    We started our dinner with their bone marrow app (10/10), which was so velvety and delicious. My husband ordered the 21-day dry aged rib eye, and I ordered the lamb t-bones. I was absolutely blown away by how amazing these were (11/10!!). For sides, we ordered the mashed potatoes, mac & cheese and marinated corn & cherry tomatoes. I wasn’t very impressed with these, the best way I can describe it is that they are really good, average-tasting side dishes (6/10). Definitely would return based on the meat alone, absolutely worth it.

    The entire staff made us feel extra special as we were there after my son’s graduation. They were very attentive, the manager came to our table and even opened the door as we left. Thank you for making this a special dining experience.

    We will likely not be returning. The service wasn’t rude—everyone was friendly—but it was incredibly slow and unorganized from the moment we sat down. There were no drink menus provided, so I had to ask for one. Someone dropped off an electronic tablet with the drink list and walked away, leaving us to figure it out on our own. When the waitress came to take our order, my husband wasn’t ready to order his drink yet, so we asked her to go ahead and put in the rest of ours. She came back 15 minutes later and admitted she didn’t put any of the drink orders in because she was waiting for him to decide. I thought that was odd—why not just get the drinks started? We easily could’ve been on round two by the time she came back. That’s just lost business. There was confusion with the drink order (bourbon neat somehow became a guessing game), and my second drink was postponed for a bit because there was additional confusion about how I wanted my dirty martini. By the time someone came back to clarify—about 10 to 15 minutes later—I was frustrated and just changed my order. Water refills? Only if we asked. Menus sat in the middle of the table until I asked someone else to take them. Food was decent, not great, and definitely not worth the price—over $400 for four people. The mashed potatoes were a standout, but everything else was forgettable. One item was missing from the order—not charged, thankfully—but it added to the overall chaos. On top of that, there was a mandatory kitchen fee added to the bill—apparently a tip for the back of the house—which we weren’t told about ahead of time. I didn’t see it mentioned on the website, on the reservation page, or on the menu, so it felt like a surprise charge tacked on at the end—almost $20 extra. The space itself is beautiful and the drinks, once they finally arrived, were great. But good drinks don’t make up for 40 minutes to get a check.
