    Prices raised, portions smaller. Makes me sad. Dinner for two, no alcohol runs about $125. $10 up charge for a potato at a steak house.

    Our first visit and it was absolutely amazing. We got a table with a view. We went there to celebrate my sister’s birthday. Had reservations at 5pm. Perfect time! Parking was not a problem. The view was breathtaking and the service was excellent. My mom went up to the salad bar for mor pineapple— there was no more—- immediately a server went back and cut some up just for her. We left feeling super happy. Can’t wait to visit again.

    We’ve been going here ever since I moved here 20 years ago. The quality of the food was delicious but lately, especially after 2020 the food quality changed. The menu changed constantly and certain specials were no longer available. The quality of the food was horrible. We kept going thinking it will get better because the service and the people there are so friendly. Hopefully maybe they will consider looking at their menu, a little careful and the quality of their food and the taste. it is a a shame cause it used to be such a nice place to go.

    The prime rib I ordered was pretty tough and I ordered it rare on purpose because the last time I ordered it medium rare it was more like medium well. My girlfriend ordered the Filet and Scallops and she too was not impressed. Her Scallops came in a watered down bowl and had absolutely no flavor. We both ordered baked potatoes with extra butter but the butter had no flavor whatsoever and my guess is that it was "Unsalted" butter. We were both very disappointed with our meal and the bill was $168.00 not including tip. So for $200.00 I feel the restaurant could turn out a much better meal to their customers. The view and ambiance was great but that doesn't make up for the negative food quality in my opinion so I doubt we will go back.

    This has been one of my favorite restaurants for over 50 years- since my teen years. The food is consistently excellent and the view fantastic. The service is always great and the waiters friendly. My favorite is the filet Oscar style with Bernaise sauce, they have a very good salad bar although it has shrunk in size and now is missing my favorite honey mustard dressing but the others are very tasty. Grandkids were thrilled with the cowboy cookie for dessert. Great place to splurge.
