   The Mother’s Day buffet was great, I would do it again. The service was really good for how busy it was. And the live music set the tone for the day.

   Delicious food, great service and lively atmosphere. We went on Mother’s Day which was very special, they went all out. I will definitely be going back now knowing they do brunch every Sunday (something lacking in Rapid)!

    Prime rib was tough and overdone. Drink prices are INSANE. Rest of the meals were cold or lukewarm. Very expensive crappy meals.

    We didn't want to be seated in the ballroom right by the kitchen door where the staff keeps going in and out, but the person who led us to our table wasn't responsive to our dislike for the seating. The room temperature wasn't very comfortable either. It was cold enough that my wife had to put on her coat for the entire meal. My first helping, the turkey wasn't anywhere even near hot, the sage stuffing was cold, and the string bean casserole was just luke warm. Only the mashed potatoes were hot. Wife's meal too. Second helping, almost the same except this time the the turkey was hot. Very disappointing. We've been there before for the holiday buffet and it was much better. Sorry, but you didn't hit the bar this time.

    Everything was pretty nice, food was good. Beef seemed a little dry and overcooked but still good. It would be nice to have a coffee pot at your table. We enjoy a good hot cup of coffee and with small cups it seems that by the time we got back to the table the coffee was almost cold again! ha Waitress did a pretty good job. All in all we enjoyed it! Thank you

    Our meal was very slow, and we got several different things wrong. But, the waitress was kind and helped make it right. We waited over a half hour for our drinks alone. Which was a bummer because we were headed to an event. I am sure the restaurant is short staffed, but we can an hour and a half before our event started, had reservations, and were still late and rushed to get out.

    Can't give any better or any worse. We weren't seated. Our Open Table reservation wasn't honored. They were under staffed and couldn't handle it. They were pleasant, and I understand nobody is working for crackers. Looked nice though.

    Went here for Valentines Day ❤️ Food & service were great. The restaurant wasn’t crowded, so it made it even more enjoyable Try the Lavender Lemon Drop 🍸 This restaurant is located in the Holiday Inn Hotel (which is getting an outdoor renovation), don’t let that deter you from going there.

    We had an unfortunately poor experience with service. I ordered a fillet and my partner ordered pasta. When we received our meal, I received a steak and she received pasta. When we started eating it, we realized that the steak was wrong and the pasta was not what she ordered. When we told our server that our food wasn’t what we ordered, he said we accidentally received the food that was intended for the people sitting beside us and asked us if we would keep the food. The pasta was too spicy for my partner and we said we would like to have the food we ordered. He then went to the people sitting beside us and told them what happened and asked them if they would be ok having the food we ordered. They declined the offer. Service wasn’t very friendly and not very organized. It also took a long time to get our drinks. The food we ordered was excellent and we would go back because of how great the food was, just had an unfortunate experience with service.

    Interesting ideas with okay execution. Spendy. Good lime crema on a somewhat blah fish. Tender ribs with a lackluster mango sauce. Creme brulee had a height/depth ratio problem that overshadowed its other problems...

    We decided to try the Gold Bison Grill for restaurant week..and we were so glad we did! The Walleye was absolutely fabulous..Rainey was a wonderful server, very attentive and if she didn’t know an answer to one of our many questions, she would find out and get right back to us..a definite return us coming!

    Restaurant week menu was phenomenal. Walleye was amazing and the ribs were excellent as well. Also had steaks at our table which were good. Service was excellent. It's not easy to find until you realize it's in the Holiday Inn lobby.

    Last minute decision. Rapid City was insanely busy, made this last minute decision. Covid and overrun with events certainly affected the experience. Food was good, and fast. Service was very distracted. We were asked questions throughout, whatever we answered, we received the opposite. Giving them a break on that, the overall experience was good.

    Only 6 people in the restaurant. Half of the orders came out Luke warm at best after waiting 35 minutes for our food to arrive at table. The steak was cooked medium rare as ordered but was very creepy and cold when it arrived. I would go to McDonald’s before eating here again

    Just OK restaurant. Next time in Rapid City, would likely not go back. No one else there. Service and food just OK. A lot of the menu items were not available. Pretending to be more upscale. No outside sign. It is inside the Holiday Inn hotel. There are better choices for restaurants.

    The server was very rude throughout the whole dinner. They were obviously very under staffed. We were handed a menu of items they were out of. Which uncles about 15 items. The “vegetables” that came with my overcooked salmon were 2 pieces of asparagus. The potatoes must have been cooked the day before and reheated. Overall terrible experience.

    Service was excellent. Even when we were not expecting one, someone would smile and wish us a good day or happy Thanksgiving. Our tables were routinely cleaned and drinks were always offered. We did not lack service. We were seated almost immediately and had access to the extensive buffet line. The food was not worth the $20-25.00 price tag. The ham was salty, the prime rib tough and once cooled tasted greasy, and the turkey very dry. The salads and side dishes were adequate. The mashed potatoes and candied yams were good. Butternut squash soup was better than Wolfgang Puck! Desserts were delicious I’m pleased I didn’t have to cook and wash dishes. We were looking forward to a better experience.

    Hotel needs to put a windbreak at the front door. Cold winds blast into the lobby and dining area.
