    We went for a date and it was very nice. The servers and waitresses were very friendly and professional. They gave great recommendations. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the restaurant decor was phenomenal. It is a bit pricey but totally worth it. Will definitely be returning.

    Bison ribeye was mainly fatty. The shrimp were good just didn’t realize they came with a mayonnaise/siracha mixed sauce so didn’t get to enjoy them all. Everything was pretty basic honestly. We were sat down by a window seat for two that was so crammed that I had to ask to be moved to a different table. The sirloin was also pretty regular. Drinks were good.
