It was a dark , cold and rainy day. We arrived at the Hostess desk and the Hostess and our Server greeted us with smiles and warm regards. They sat us in a booth in the Bar which was perfect sitting next to the large windows. Our server was excellent, knowledgeable and so helpful. We enjoyed our food and our interaction with the server. What a great experience!

I figured since we made reservations it wouldn't take more than 10 or so minutes for us to be seated well boy was I wrong. We waited for 34 mins and that's including me going up to concierge booth 3 times. We requested a booth they said they had one available and still sat us at a table way in the back close to a door which it was freezing outside and I had two 4 year olds with me. They gave us no kids menu and the beer was priced 3.95 on the menu but they charged us 4.25 and when I asked them why they said the menu was wrong. The ranch tasted like bleu cheese and they didn't put bbq sauce on the ribs but on the side. Our waitress Keri- Ann was awesome sauce but I more than likely will not be returning and I would not recommend.

Good but place was full for a 5:00 pm dinner! We thought we was beating the crowd for dinner and decided to eat 2 hours earlier than normal. Waiters was very courteous and food was good. With exception of so many people with Covid still looming around was challenging.

Food was not good, steak was chewing and too much pepper. Had to send it back. Second steak came out 30 mins later and was bland and chewy. I had to spit it out in my napkin!!! Service was great, ambiance good with a view of I-85. Too expensive!

Reasonable price for the quality and amount of food. Huge side salad, would be a meal by itself. Tenderloin medallions were excellent, lobster tail maybe just a little overcooked but very good. Good service even though the waitress was slammed. And in spite of the place being packed the food was served to us very quickly. Really one of the best managed restaurants in the region. Dinner for two with cocktails and dessert was $100. Pretty good price.

2023 Valentines Day! We're in our 70's, have travelled (and eaten) throughout the World. It's wonderful to know that we can go only 3 miles from our house and enjoy the best salad and steak we have found. The meat, preparation and wait servce made our evening a great one. We continue to go back.

We had a great family dinner on Valentines evening, group of 6. They were super busy and running behind with reservations but it was all good. Staff did a great job keeping everyone informed and service was great when we were seated. The salad is always our favorite item, with the amazing house dressing. I love being able to book ahead on Open table

Always a winner!!! This is my Go To for gift certificates for friends and family as the menu pleases everyone. The reviews that come back to me from visitors to our area is always perfect. This time, it was a personal meal which was Outstanding. Filet was undercooked and quickly made right in little timing. The female dining room manager was very observant and worked quickly while guiding the wait staff on improving their skills. Just awesome!!!.

We always have a good meal here with great service. However we always have bad experiences with the drinks we order. This last time they served us martinis with ice cubes in them.. the time before we were dining here our martinis were not made well. They need consistency and better bartenders.

Love your restaurant! Been a patron for many years, but don't live close to one. Always consider it a special treat when traveling near and able to stop in and enjoy a meal there. Even had a party at your Columbia location years ago. Bring one to the Fort Mill/Rock Hill/South Charlotte area please!
