    For the price paid The Tenderloin Room was underwhelming. This was the sentiment of everyone in the group. The food was average at best and was not served all at the same time. We either had to wait for sides or ask when they would be coming out.

    The TLR will always be our go to for special occasions. We do dine at the bar as well for the best burgers in town when looking for good burger. This evening Kayla was our server, top notch and very nice. My husband had a Cowboy steak that was cooked to perfection, med rare and so tasty. I ordered the filet med rare and was equally as delicious. We had seafood dip as we always do any it never disappoints, try it if you stop in. We shared garlic mashed potatoes and an order of the mushrooms and they were both yummy! Kayla mentioned their summer dessert was SMORE SUNDAE and we were sold, we split one and still could not finish it. We will go back to bar for burgers and Sundae in the next few weeks for sure! Don’t think there’s a thing on the menu anyone could be displeased with!! FYI, husband says make sure and try the Smoked Old Fashion!!

    Pricey and the taste was not good. Wait time receiving entrees was excessive.

    Julia is an amazing server. If they have the s’mores Sunday on the menu it is a must have.

    The service was excellent as was the atmosphere. All of the food was excellent except for my New York strip steak. It had good flavor but was stringy to the point that I couldn't chew a lot of it up. Given the the ratings and reputation of the Tenderloin, this was very disappointing and all but ruined the dining experience for me. In retrospect, I should have sent it back, but kept thinking I would get to a better part of the steak.
