This place is amazing! The food was absolutely incredible (especially the scallops). Our server was also so sweet. I didn’t catch her name, but she was a young black woman. She deserves a raise! My boyfriend and her worked together to give me an amazing proposal and I could not be more grateful. The rest of the staff was so helpful as well. I dropped my napkin on the floor and a staff member saw from inside and came all the way outside to bring me a new one. Will definitely be returning.

★★★★★ 5.0 Eric Broockman · Dec 2025

The atmosphere is one of old world golf club lounge - not surprising. A bit staid - but the outdoor deck looks awesome ! My scallops were wonderful. Wine choice was great. Enjoyed a pear salad. The little gluten free cornbread inspired starter surprise was delicious. We will return. Finally - the service was friendly, knowledgeable, and appropriately attentive.

My girlfriend and I came for a staycation and was introduced to this place by the concierge. Our experience was fantastic and that's what it was an experience! The staff was so attentive and kind, as well as knowledgeable. The cuisine was absolutely delightful, i enjoyed a beautifully cooked rib eye, they also make the most amazing biscuits to die for... Thank you for a lovely evening of fine dining.

The food and service was on par with a Michelin star restaurant. Each dish was balanced yet bold. Many ingredients were locally sourced. The service was exceptional with every staff member having an inviting demeanor. Not only was the staff kind they were also very knowledgeable. Our waiter, Ryan, did an amazing job making our group feel like we were the most important people in the building.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Marc Toglia · Jan 2026

Always love dining when we come out west to visit family. Great atmosphere and service. Food is delicious. However, on our most recent trip last night, 3 of us had the duck, which consisted of only two slices of meat each plate. I don’t recall receiving such small portions in the past.
