Meander embodies relaxed indulgence. Be prepared to enjoy your multi-course meal carefully and thoughtfully crafted by Executive Chef Dan Gullickson, who designs the tasting menu each evening. Courses range from five to 12, depending on fresh ingredients available from on onsite greenhouse, the season, and any themes we may be highlighting (such as Chinese New Year or St. Patrick's Day).

Our bar is finely curated to offer mid- to top-shelf spirits, with an curated wine and beer list. All mixes, salts, and syrups for cocktails and mocktails are made in house and augmented with fresh ingredients.

The dining room seats 18 people, so each person's experience is personal, private, and delightful. We only offer one seating in the evening at 6:00. Bar opens at 5:00. Meander is the onsite restaurant for Shortgrass Resort, built by Cappie, Alex (Sprout), and Rachel, as seen on Building Outside the Lines on the Magnolia Network and streaming on Max.

    This was absolutely the best dining experience we have ever had. There is nothing that compares to to Meander in our region. The 7 course culinary journey was well planned and executed, with each dish building on the previous. You will experience a flavor and texture journey that you will never want to end. Chef Dan and mixologist Alex are both artists in their respective crafts, you as the guest will feel honored to be a part of their creations. We will definitely be returning regularly.

    This is a special place. The ambiance, the service and cocktails were all great. I am usually disappointed with grass fed beef and unfortunately this was no exception.

    The atmosphere, setting and service was wonderful. The cocktails were great and the bartender went out of his way to make sure we got what we wanted. The tenderloin entree was excellent.
