I checked us in for our reservation and the hostess welcomed us in, then promptly took us to the table that had been beautifully prepared for our dining experience. She asked if the lighting was too dim, but it was perfect. Every staff member was dressed neatly and welcomed us as we walked by. No staff members were running around frantically, and I could tell they are staffed amazingly well. So organized and kind, genuinely smiling at us. I could tell that anyone would be willing to help us, if we needed them! Our waiter, Daniel, came over and again, welcomed us. He let us know the specials of the night and how dinner will be served. Let us know not to touch the 500 degree plates when they arrived. He took out drink orders and answered any question we had. He promptly came back with drinks and fresh, hot rolls!! Daniel took our dinner orders. We all sat and visited while waiting, enjoying our drinks and the hot rolls. Dinner was served on, as promised, hot plates!! Then, they served each of us the crème brûlée corn. All of us that ordered meat, asked for medium rare and we were not disappointed!! Our meats were spot on!!! Perfection!!! The petite filet mignon were very juicy and delicious, as was the New York strip. The Crispy Hasselback Potatoes were so good, especially with the topping. The Crispy Shrimp Deviled Eggs were so good!!! I feel like our meals were simple yet divine!! After we enjoyed dinner, we were served the Ultimate Warm Vanilla Caramel Cake, on the house!! What a nice touch!! So yummy and it felt guilty eating such a fabulous dessert!! We all shared it! All in all, I wish I could give 10/10 stars!! Such a wonderful dinner experience!! I can't wait to go back!!!!

From the hostess, to our server, to every single staff member we interacted with, everyone was incredibly pleasant, welcoming, and attentive. The service really stood out and made our anniversary dinner feel that much more special. We also got to try the caviar, which was incredible! The food was amazing, the drinks were great, and the ambiance was honestly about as perfect as it could be. Everything came together to make it such a memorable night for the three of us. We left so happy with our experience and will absolutely be adding this place to our list of restaurants to return to. Highly recommend!

Came here on a Thursday night for a friends birthday. We arrived a couple minutes after the rest of…read morethe party and there were no table settings for us, no menus or waters. We were never given silverware until we asked for it while ordering our entrees. The service was incredibly slow and our server had a weird attitude the entire time. The restaurant was beautifully decorated but so loud and there was no music playing. Our server took drink orders from everyone except me. Another guest asked her a question about the menu, she disappeared for over 10 minutes came back and took my order for a drink. My friend asked about mocktails and she just said you can make any drink a mocktail. The espresso martini was delicious. However our waters never got refilled and the server did not ask anyone if they wanted another cocktail. The best part of the evening was the avocado Caesar salad. It was fresh and I liked the crunchy bread pieces. The shrimp was horrible!!! I should've said something in the moment but I didn't want to be that person at another persons birthday. They were SO tough, I had to saw through it with my knife. They were incredibly tough and rubbery. The sauce it came with was straight garlic. The beef Wellington was lackluster. I was very excited to try this restaurant and left completely disappointed. For a restaurant that advertises as an upscale dining experience the food and the service did not reflect that.

The doors open into a antique-feeling speakeasy-like vibe. We had reservations and were sat immediately and greeted simultaneously by our server.

For dessert we an amazing Smores Pie which was the exact right way to end the night. Overall this place a perfect place for a date or night out with friends who appreciate a good drink with good food and a fun unique atmosphere!

They have their own farm with their animals and they actually have a slaughterhouse up the street as well so everything is always fresh! This place has been there since before any of the industrial stuff went up. That's why it is kind of the oddball out in this area! It is extremely large inside the decorations in there are very fitting for a steakhouse! Fun fact John Wayne used to eat there. They have his booth with his pictures up, so that's a pretty cool fact to know! The staff was absolutely amazing so informative. The waiter was probably one of the best I've ever had. He suggested different items on the menu, He told us about the restaurant, and was so helpful and so friendly all the employees were great! Timely on refilling your water and taking the food plates that were empty. It was nice how quickly they took care of everything. They had some amazing jalapeño corn cornbread the 8 ounce sirloin with the Parmesan potatoes and the 8 ounce fillet with Parmesan potatoes were divine! My husband got the house salad that he liked, I got their soup of the day, which was the hatch green chili and chicken soup, which was so hearty and delicious full of flavor. Everything about this restaurant was great. I would highly recommend going here.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time we've had this experience at Stockyards during lunch, and…read moretoday was the point where we finally decided to leave. Candace was working as the bartender/server, and from the moment we sat down, we felt completely unwelcome. We waited approximately 15-20 minutes without so much as a "hello," "I'll be right with you," or any acknowledgment whatsoever. She looked over at us multiple times, so it was clear that she knew we were there, but we continued to be ignored. We completely understand that restaurants get busy, especially during lunch. We don't expect immediate service, but a simple acknowledgment goes a long way. Instead, the interaction--or complete lack of one--came across as incredibly unkind and dismissive when has been every visit here in the bar. We came in planning to have lunch, drinks, and spend a significant amount of money, but after sitting there feeling unwelcome for that long, we got up and left. What makes this especially disappointing is that we have repeatedly tried to give Stockyards another chance and have had similar experiences. It's a beautiful, established restaurant that we genuinely WANT to enjoy, but no customer should be made to feel like their presence is an inconvenience. Unfortunately, after today, we won't be returning for lunch in the bar.

The potatoes underneath soaked up all the flavor, and the taco that came with it was delicious as well. Such a great dining experience from start to finish.

It's intimate, lively, packed with plants, and the house music gives it such a cool energy. Service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and our water glasses never saw the bottom. The NY strip was the winner. Perfectly cooked, and the kale had this bright acidity that made the whole plate. The elote was a full ear of deliciousness, and of the three salsas, I could've straight-up DRANK the verde. The chicken was great, but somehow the little cheese quesadillas stole the show. HOW is a cheese quesadilla that darn good?! The potatoes needed more flavor, and the borracho beans came topped with raw onions, which immediately eliminated them from consideration. Onion hater. Forever and always. The short rib was sweeter and chewier than I prefer, although everyone else at the table enjoyed it. Three entrées + an appetizer came to about $222, which felt fair for the quality, service, and atmosphere. Small space. Big energy. Seriously good food. I'll absolutely be back.

Only downside is that…read morefor some reason Apple maps was not accurate to finding the location and parking was a challenge as it is right on Roosevelt Row. However as soon as I found it and immediately after entering Pretty Penny I was transformed to the cutest little restaurant. I was greeted immediately and had made a reservation so even though my friend hadn't arrived yet, they sat me down. They instantly offered water and menus (food and cocktail). I noticed that the menu seemed very small and the dishes were shareable -- I don't eat meat so I was hoping my friend wouldn't mind sticking with fish and seafood (which she didn't). As soon as I got to my table there was the cutest sign that said welcome to Sarah Sherman and guest -- it was such an adorable and personal touch, I loved that! As soon as my friend got there we immediately both ordered the cold brew old fashioned -- we thought about the espresso martini but this just sounded too good to pass up -- and we were not disappointed! This drink was so tasty and strong. We immediately ordered the bread (sourdough boule) to soak up some of the alcohol as well as some oysters and the salsa. The oysters were so well spiced and were absolutely delicious. But the bread, the bread, the bread -- the server mentioned that it took almost 9 months to develop the bread recipe and it served. It was the best bread and butter that I think I have ever had! The salsa was good but probably was my least favorite of everything and it was still super yummy. We then moved on to the octopus tostadas. Sometimes octopus is not my fav -- it can be too chewy but this was so amazing and incredibly flavorful. It was starting to be my favorite dish until we ordered the Hamachi -- OMG!! Talk about a mouth orgasm-- both my friend and I were yummming it up -- but seriously this bite was so complex with different flavors coming up with every chew -- it has coriander candied peanuts, fermented pineapple, avocado, pickled fresno, toasted coconut and aji amarillo yogurt -- The server mentioned that this was the chef's least favorite dish which I totally do not understand because this was off the charts in my book. We also tried the earl gray whiskey sour, which was light and delicious, and ended with the shrimp toast and the espresso martini. By the way the toast on the shrimp toast was like a little fried dough triangle -- sooooo gooood! The martini was good but the cold brew old fashioned really stole the spotlight for me. Other details I loved that just elevated the experience: Purse hook (very important to me), the little trays for your utensils, metal coasters, incredibly attentive servers, fantastic music, great ambiance and the cutest was the penny they put on top of your check. So cute -- was not expecting such an enjoyable all around experience!! Will be back 1000%!!!

To start, the menu is a bit puzzling. It's kind of like a handful of Asian-inspired dishes, a handful of Mexican/South American, and a handful of French or New American. But there's not enough of each to chart a course through one type of cuisine. So, basically you're gonna have a cultural melange meal. Hamachi crudo was really good and fairly unique. The halibut was excellently prepared but not particularly innovative in any way I could tell. Zucchini had goat cheese, which wasn't immediately clear from the description, so I didn't enjoy the rude surprise I got when I took my first bite, and didn't eat anymore, as I really despise the stuff. So that was a waste. Not a dig on the dish, just a personal thing I wish I had more notice of. There were other issues though. The wine list was exceptionally small, They were out of the bread, which is supposedly a must-try. And then we were going to get the steak but the folks next to us advised against it, showing their cut that had zero fat. They said it was leather. On that point, the tables are SUPER CLOSE. Like, a couple inches apart. You hear everything and almost can't avoid getting entwined into others' conversation. We liked the people we were next to, but be aware that it's an unintentionally awkward communal experience that's not well-suited to a date night. The service was pretty good, they put out a nice printed greeting with the reservation name, and give you a sparkling wine toast. But considering the price and overall experience we had, I'd pass and not come back.
