   We sat on the second level and really enjoyed the location. We were able to talk and enjoy the atmosphere. The service is top notch. The food while different was outstanding. Definitely recommend for a date night.

   During dinner last night, there was a private party up stairs which was extremely loud. I love this restaurant but the noise level really interrupted our dinner. I felt as though we were yelling across the table the entire meal. The food quality wasn’t the same as our last two visits. The beef tenderloin was tough and difficult to cut. On our prior visits, we had the same main course. The beef tenderloin could be cut will a fork. The quality has declined.

   Such a great experience. The buffalo ribeye was incredible and the mac and cheese was addictive! Our waitress, Nadia, really took care of us. We will definitely be back.

   We had an AMAZING experience at Lonesome Dove!! Our youngest, also a new chef, was in town for his birthday. I let the restaurant know in advance, and we were seated at the chef's table and made to feel very, very special! From the chef himself to the amazing servers, it was a perfect evening. The Elk foie gras sliders were fantastic! The lobster hush puppies were delicious! The ancho-chile chocolate cake was to die for!! There was so much food at the table...from Elk loin to beef tenderloin to duck ragout to pork chop to the Tomahawk Ribeye. It was all so good and impossible to pick a favorite! Yes, it's expensive. But the experience our family had was priceless. I highly recommend it, especially for a special occasion. I don't think it's possible to heap enough praise on the kitchen, wait staff and bar, but we want to thank them all for such an outstanding evening, all the way around! We certainly couldn't have asked for more!

   I have been here 2 times before, once for business and once with my wife for our anniversary before the pandemic. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. I took my wife yesterday for her birthday thinking it would be a special evening. I now regret that decision. We were seated in a very noisy room next to the kitchen where the acoustics were horrendous and amplified any noise. We could barely hear our waiter who spoke in low tones despite our asking him to speak up, but there was just too much noise for him to overcome. The food selection seemed good but the prep was not as described by our waiter and seemed a bit hoity toity for the filet and elk steaks we ordered. My wife could not eat her beef tenderloin as it had way too much pepper crust. The appetizers were way overpriced and just so-so for what was delivered and the wild game fettine looked and tasted like deli Turkey. This visit was a massive disappointment, especially considering how we enjoyed it before. For the money it should be a stellar meal served in an appropriate environment. If you go do not let them seat you in the room next to the kitchen. We will not be back.

   Outstanding in almost every way! Leave the kids at home and come here for special occasions because it is pricey, but well worth it considering how incredible the food is.

    Kallie was a great server/bartender, but she doesn’t control the kitchen - it took 1 1/2 hours to get our entrees - we had gotten over being hungry by then.

    Cameron was amazing. At first I was overwhelmed with his enthusiasm for food but truly was a great meal and experience. When I go back I will request Cameron. The elk and crab cakes are worth driving over from Nashville.

    We had a lovely experience. Layla our waitress was knowledgeable and had great recommendations. The atmosphere was great, comfortable, and a nice place to get away and try some new things! Rattlesnake and rabbit sausage, elk sliders, burnt carrots, and the Yukon potatoes were perfect. Drinks were great too! Highly recommend.

    Came there because of multiple recommendations. Beautiful building, and our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. Waiter suggested the famous jalapeño muffins but chef was unable to make any. Ordered stuffed beef tenderloin medium rare. First time to the table it came well done. Sent it back. Second time to the table came almost raw. Told waiter and said just bag it up I’ll take it home and cook it there. Couldn’t eat it. Everyone else was almost done with their meal. Waiter said that the chef was in tears that I sent back the first one so she didn’t want to over cook the second one. Elk was not the best no flavor. But the chili was the best that anyone had ever eaten before. Should have made a meal from that. Extremely expensive restaurant so wouldn’t return unless it is a special occasion.

    We loved our entire experience tonight. We celebrated a birthday and anniversary. Our waiter Cameron was very informative, fun and engaging. The chef Jason Scott came to the table to meet us and sign his page in the new City View magazine. The manager was also super friendly. Food was fabulous, especially the elk sliders. We will definitely come back! Thank you for a fabulous evening.

    Celebrated Mother’s Day with my husband and grown son. First time visit when we walked in we were immediately seated at our table. Went to back room music was so loud I couldn’t think it was too loud in the restaurant but they soon turned it down. Waiter was very friendly Stefan but took for ever for him to come back and take our order so my husband got up went to hostess and asked for someone to take our order. The appetizer of rattlesnake gravy with biscuits was lukewarm to say the least. The wedge salad was slit of lettuce with okay dressing I don’t just love blue cheese dressing. Salmon was cooked perfectly a little salty but my son loved his. My husband prime rib he said wasn’t that great his dessert the Hummingbird cake was delicious. My chocolate dessert was good but so rich it was hard to eat. We agreed to try you out one more time for dinner but not a brunch.
