Yelp
I took my cousin and his girlfriend here for dinner a few weeks ago to celebrate his birthday. He has been wanting to come here for quite some time, but being 23...he wanted to wait for his older cousin to take him here (I get it, word). I am someone who always likes to look at Yelp before I eat out somewhere new, and after scrolling on here I was *kind of* skeptical on what to expect. 1- I already knew what to expect when it came to dropping a pretty penny, but I had gone in thinking I would be paying quite a bit of money for mediocre food.
Let me tell you... I'm not sure what anyone else has had, but I sooooo enjoyed my experience here. We had reservations at 6PM on a Saturday evening. We arrived a little early and got a drink at the bar, not busy at all. Even throughout the night it stayed consistent. The drinks were fairly priced. We got a mojito (I believe it was around $10ish?), spicy marg (maybe like $18?) then my cousin got a double on the rocks of whatever whiskey, that's his thing. That put our pre dinner drinks at around $80. Of course, he got a nice whiskey, so ideally that's out of the norm for the bill to be that high.
We sat down for dinner and while yes, the menu is a little overwhelming, our waiter talked us through everything and gave great recommendations. Our total of drinks we had ordered were two bottles of a white wine, two rose Prosecco's, old fashion and two espresso martinis.
For starters, you order everything at once and they bring it out in courses. To begin with, they bring a bread basket, and let's be real- who is not a sucker for that. Everything in it was 11/10. For the first course, we ordered the elk-foie gras sliders, the blue crabs, and the wild boar ribs. Each of these came with 3 of everything. Skipped the second course because eh, it's just a salad. For the main course, we ordered the roasted garlic beef tenderloin, elk loin and for special they had a fish, and a bison pot pie that we ordered. We normally like to split things, so ordering 4 entrees seemed like the best idea when we couldn't decide what we wanted. For sides, we ordered the mash and the Mac & cheese. (Now for the reviews saying it wasn't a traditional Mac, yes. It is a risotto, but that's still a pasta and it was so good )
For dessert we had the tres leches. While it was good, it wasn't very milky to me, and tasted more of a lemon cake to me. Still, I'd order it again because you can't go wrong with either.
Overall, it was such a nice experience. They made my cousin feel so special for his birthday and I love how nice yet causal the place is. I definitely am planning another trip soon, even to try their Happy Hour!
Roughly our dinner bill was around $650 plus a tip. I think it was well worth it for the quality of the food, how much we got, and the amazing evening we had.
