This should have been a five-star review easily. However, a few flaws in the service department cost them a star. Our waitress forgot a few items. To be fair, the manager more than made up for this and the discount and return visit discounts.
Short version space - we had an early reservation at 5:30 on a Wednesday evening. We were seated right away as we appeared to be their first table for the night. Our waitress Laney greeted us quickly and was very friendly. I will say she appeared to be new at the position. A few things were missed during the ordering and delivery process of our food for the evening, but the food was awesome. I provide more details down below in the longer version. There is plenty of parking in this area with a full parking deck within walking distance of the restaurant. This area also has a play area for kids to have fun prior to and / or after your meal. This restaurant is located in a very fun community type area where you can visit with friends and family. Everybody was friendly and, in the end, we had a really good meal. We, of course, will return and visit them again.
Long version-got a reservation and arrived on time at 5:30 on Wednesday. We're seated right away, and our waitress Laney greeted us quickly and was very friendly. The menu is clearly labeled for gluten and vegetarian options, which was helpful as our guests this evening had gluten and dairy dietary restrictions. We started with drinks while we reviewed our menus. There is quite a lot to choose from, all of which sounded really good. While I did not get pictures of every plate delivered, they were all tasty and hot when they were brought to the table. We started with the Wagyu carpaccio and corn chowder soup, which was the soup of the day. The wagyu was gone in short order as it was very tasty. The corn chowder was not typical corn chowder and arrived at the table late after we asked about it a second time. Apparently, this was forgotten while inputting the order into their system. When it did arrive, it was tasty. However, I will say it is quite large for a cup of soup. For our entrees, the following was ordered center cut filet mignon, wild caught salmon, kids burger times 2, Kansas City strip times 2. For sides broccolini, glazed carrots, sauteed carrots, and potato Au Gratin were ordered. Since I ate one of the Kansas City strips, I ordered mine without the espresso rub and added horseradish creamy sauce on the side. This steak was cooked absolutely perfect, and it was phenomenal. The potatoes Au Gratin was quite large as it is a shareable dish that was very tasty as well. My wife had the center-cut filet, and she also commented that her steak was absolutely perfect. She had the broccolini that arrived late to the table but commented it was cooked and tasted perfect. The food here is obviously top quality, and there is certainly enough food on the plate to fill you up before you leave. As for the issues we ran across this evening, they are as follows:
1) Three of our guests (2 children) had gluten and dairy dietary requirements, and they ordered hamburgers plain, no cheese, no bun, no nothing that arrived with cheese. To the restaurant's credit, they did not just scrape off the cheese. They cooked two new hamburgers and brought them back out.
2) My wife and I ordered the corn chowder soup, which is quite large, by the way. This was not put in as an appetizer upon reminding our waitress she exclaimed that she'll get them right away that she had forgotten to put them in the queue. Luckily, the corn chowder came quick enough to where we had time to eat most of it prior to our meals hitting the table.
3) Lastly, my wife ordered broccolini to go with her order that was not put into the system, so it came far later, midway through her meal.
4) If you are out of something on the menu, it would be good to know this before a decision has been made of what to order. E.g. pork chops on this evening. After my wife decided and ordered it, she was told we are out of pork chops. Big disappointment for her. She had to selct something else while the rest of us ordered.
On any given day, parts of a restaurant can fail and miss things in the service process. However, I believe that the manager more than made up for the above errors in the ordering process. Unfortunately, this will cost them one star that should have easily been a five-star rating.
For dessert chocolate, flourless tort and chocolate cake that was shared. Both were very rich and tasty.
