    Wish they would bring back the Bison Ribeye. The Ribeye is just not the same but always enjoy it here.

    We went for the Surf & Turf special and was very good. Portions we just the right size to fill you up with feeling stuffed. The lobster may have overcooked just a bit but still good flavor and the filet was very good.

    Went on a weekday evening. Atmosphere and food were mediocre and the service was underwhelming. Wouldn’t likely go again.
