This new steakhouse in downtown Healdsburg calls themselves "western style." The decor is impeccable - from a glass sided elevator, to fake rifles on a chandelier, to a bench seating waiting area, to a swanky upstairs bar, to surprisingly comfortable bar chairs. They offer steaks, of course, but also an incredible cocktail menu with a focus on bourbons and wine. Surprisingly for a steakhouse, there are also a number of delicious vegetarian options!
My family took over the downstairs bar seating for a wonderful dinner out. It's actually an incredible place to sit as you get to see the chefs preparing each item, from head chef David Lawrence ensuring each steak is cooked to perfection, to the soup being poured, to them trying out new menu items. They are a friendly group and are willing to chat with you about their process. Our waitress and bartender Ashleigh did a great job.
I got to try a number of menu items, sharing with my family, so I can personally recommend the rolls, crispy maitake mushrooms (like calamari but vegetarian! delicious chimichurri!), butternut squash (perfect for fall), little gem salad, the housemade pasta (so much umami), and the mashed potatoes. Folks in my party also tried and liked the tartare, ribeye steak, and fries. I got a mocktail and our party tried their margaritas and martinis and enjoyed it all. The espresso martini stood out as particularly delicious.
The prices here are quite upscale. I think the food is worth it, but it's certainly a place you only visit for a special night out every once in a while unless you're loaded with cash. The only price I couldn't justify was charging for salt, when you're paying up to $200 for a steak they should just give you the specialty salt, in my opinion.
Overall, the vibes were great, and everything was absolutely delicious, there was nothing we could complain about or nitpick when it comes to taste and flavor!
