    Beef Wellington.

    I was traveling for work and found this location on Yelp. Thank you, Yelp. Caprese salad and Beef Wellington. Both fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable staff as well! I definitely will come back.

    While the food was cooked well, I was overall disappointed. I had heard amazing things about their dinner, so perhaps my expectations were too high. I've had a couple really good lunches here so I picked it for an Anniversary dinner. The jus with the Wellington was pretty salty and my wife's cream sauce on her pasta was a little too rich. We tried the skillet cookie for dessert, but sent it back when it was soupy and tasted only of caramel and ice cream. They had a good selection of wine and service was very good. Ambiance was open, while maintaining a level of intimacy with candles and lighting.

    We had the best time and dinner out experience at Chef Lance's. The whole dining experience was top notch and lived up to and exceeded all the hype that you might have heard about dining at Chef Lance's We highly highly recommend a night out enjoying this experience.

    My friends and I had a great meal with great service. They were very impressed. The only down side for me is everything has dairy in it: butter, cream and/or cheese. Therefore, I can't eat there.

    One of the best meals ever had! Enjoyed the caprese appetizers and especially the pulled pork wellington. Can you complain about too much meat This? No, there is enough that spills out into a whiskey gravy to enjoy. This is high-end comfort food done right. I wish I had more time to try many other items on the menu. Part of downtown and had it been warmer, I would have taken a walk after dinner. The is a must do place! Good for a romantic date, business dinner, or special occasion. Met the owner's wife. She was a pleasure to talk to while I ate at the bar! Although full, I still left with a dessert for later, the flourless chocolate cake.

    Last course: deconstructed pumpkin pie. Amazing.

    This is a gem of a spot! I've dined in at Chef Lance's several times and always come out of their ecstatic. It's a romantic spot with great service, exceptional food, perfect wine list, and soft music. We also had our Christmas party there in 2022 and the staff wonderful and so accommodating. Their beef and pork Wellington is top notch along with their fillets.

    The food and service was great. Started with mussels and crab cakes which were a great way to start of the night. The entrees did not disappoint either: rib and grits, salmon, scallops, chicken linguine.

    Pulled Pork Wellington

    The Pulled Pork Wellington still lives up to the hype! Great menu, but this one pulls me back most of the time. The Wellington trio is a great one to share as well. Wedge salad & a unique spin on tater tots to start things off!

    We discovered this newer restaurant a week ago, and weren't able to get a reservation, but I'm so glad we got one this time! Chef Lance opened his doors less than 4 months ago, and our experience was on par with many veterans we've visited. We were greeted with our name on a table in a pleasant modern, yet rustic, atmosphere. Everything we ate surpassed our expectations. The fresh bread was so delicious with its seasoning and herb butter. We started with "Benjamin Potatoes", bite sized potatoes loaded with a herb packed sour cream, cheddar cheese and fresh bacon crumble. Our meals both came with the choice of a soup or salad, and boy are we happy that we didn't pass on the corn chowder. It was clearly made from scratch, with the perfect amount of potatoes and large tender chunks of pork. So delicious. "Jenny's Tortellini" was spot on. Nice large portion full of fresh mushrooms and spinach in an incredible sauce. The salmon was no disappointment either. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the lemon caper sauce complimented the parmesan cheese so well. If the great food wasn't enough, our waitress stood out as well. She was what you'd consider a professional in the service industry. Perfect timing on everything, very polite and not overwhelming at all. Chef Lance and his team should be very proud of what they have created, and I'm willing to bet they will become one of the top restaurants in Sioux Falls. This experience was by far my best dinner of 2020. We will certainly be visiting again soon!

    Wellington trio; pork, salmon and beef wellingtons.

    Date night with the wife. We shared the Wellington trio. The pork and beef were amazing and left us wanting more. The salmon was decent but didn't have the flavor profile the other two had. Chef Lance never disappoints.

    We did not have a reservation so we arrived right at opening (5 PM) and were able to sit at the bar. The aesthetic of the space is wonderful. Beautiful details, tables have a good amount of space between one another and there is beautiful original artwork on the walls. Our server at the bar was great, very attentive and provided recommendations on the menu. The food was just ok. We started with the bruschetta and it lacked flavor, very bland. For our entrees, we had the rigatoni and the NY pepper steak. The rigatoni was decent on flavor, but the meat sauce was a ragu and really did not have any sauciness to it. The pasta noodles felt over cooked. The steak was chewy, not a tender cut of meat. The star of both entrees were the mashed potatoes and whiskey cream sauce with the steak, both were delicious.

The location has…read moresince closed down but whenever I have the opportunity, I will always make time or find a reason to go to one. Even if I've just gotten done with a meal and I see one down the road I find it hard to not go in. Famous Dave's is a chain. You can't deny that. But as far as BBQ Chains go, Famous Dave's has it going on! Sure, independent places are typically the best when you're looking for the best in BBQ. But, when you're looking for one in an area where they typically won't have one offs, Famous Dave's is the place to be. I always get the ribs. Usually the baby back ribs. For the sides, I'm a big fan of their coleslaw. Somewhat sweet and very creamy. Their cornbread muffins are also excellent. The downside to the corn bread muffins is that they're usually not warm. I prefer them a little warm. The beans are good also. The beauty of Famous Dave's is this: whether you are in South Dakota, Michigan, Kentucky or any other state, when you walk into a Famous Dave's you know what you're getting into. Would I go back? Damn! I wish I could get to one right now! I've been talking about it long enough now I got a taste for them. I'M HUNGRY!!!!!

One look at the menu was an epiphany... a rare, if not the only, time I could not find a single item I didn't want to order. The ambience is rustic central plains frontier.

    March 2026 Sioux…read moreFalls, South Dakota This place has a beautiful ambience. You enter and there is a warm and welcoming fireplace to the right when you enter. Straight ahead by a large open bar, you can see the meat on the rotisserie. Restaurant is large and cozy. Dark woods, modern lighting, many booths with ample seating. Floors are concrete and many nature pictures line the walls. This place has everything from handheld sandwiches to salmon and rotisserie chicken, a broad selection of appetizers and soups and salad salads. I ordered a Guinness draft and it came in a very large glass. Many tap beers to choose from. We ordered the woodfired chicken wings, a rotisserie chicken, which is accompanied with mashed potatoes and cornbread, and my husband also ordered a cup of corn chowder. The chicken wings I thought were delicious. The flavor is smoky and pepper. Not your traditional wing, but it includes the drumstick and the wing. You get six in total. It comes with blue cheese and ranch. My husband did not care for the wings. He thought they had too much of a pepper taste. My only concern was they were not served hot. They were barely warm when they got to my table. The blue cheese dressing was basically ranch dressing with a few dry blue cheese crumbles mixed in. Not a good flavor. The corn chowder was very mushy. It had the texture of baby food. He did not enjoy it. It also was served warm and not hot. Rotisserie chicken comes out with a thigh and drumstick of dark meat and white meat. However, the chicken is very dry. Taste like rotisserie chicken should taste But nothing special. The mashed potatoes are not creamy. But clumpy. They are red skin and I love when the skin is left on the potatoes. However, they taste like a baked Redskin potato with no salt, pepper, or butter. Flavorless. The cornbread has good flavor. But again, try. There is no butter to accompany it. Might taste good with some honey or butter on the side. I love the look and coziness of the restaurant. I wanted it to be fantastic. I was extremely disappointed in the food. I tried to make it work, but with the cold food and the lack of flavor, it was a big miss. When you take a bite of rotisserie chicken, and then you need to take a drink before taking your next bite of food, you know it is dry. When in Rome do as the Romans do. When in Sioux Falls Falls do not ROAM to this restaurant. I would not come back to this restaurant. I would give it 2 stars for the food. However, Darla was our waitress and she was very kind and attentive. She gets a five star rating. But the good service does not balance out the awful food.
