We went at a great time because they were just opening. I ordered the boneless beef short ribs with red skinned mashed potatoes and garlic green beans.Everyone liked there food ok.I also ordered the onion loaf and it came with some type of barbecue sauce.I prefer ranch but it was still good. For dessert I got the apple cranberry Cobbler.It was my favorite thing.
Good food.I was truly surprised at the tenderness of the beef ribs.They come sauced already so I know next time to request sauce on the side...cause them thangs get messy! I will for sure go back again to try more.Everything was good and well seasoned.The filet I had was under cooked but still good.Bartender was waiting a lot of the tables and definitely did her thing with great recommendations good conversation and a bright smile and personality.Good experience.Pricey but not ruths chris prices.

It was alright.Pretty small menu.Wanted the filet that I saw when reviewing this place.Ended up getting medallions instead 😔.Overall food was decent.Service was so so.I believe this place does good because of it location.You can see when hotel is empty so is the restaurant.Prices could be worse.
