I was Seated right away and introduced to my waitress, Taylor, immediately. Taylor deserves special accolades. She was so friendly and caring; she made my dining experience special. Thank you Taylor!! Taylor was awesome; she was friendly, always checking on me and sincerely concerned about my satisfaction. She was willing to do anything to make things right if I wasn't happy with something. First I ordered the Crab Cakes as an appetizer. Then I ordered off the specials menu; a Japanese spiced Branzino dish. The crab cakes were somewhat disappointing. Mostly filler and not much crab taste. Sometimes the taste actually resembled a tuna fish sandwich. The remoulade sauce that came with the crab cakes was really tasty. I wasn't really happy with the branzino dish. The fish was cooked pretty well, but "in my opinion" It had too much seasoning and the seasoning had an off flavor. Could just be my personal tastes. The restaurant has a lot of seating, little nooks and corners and a bar with seating. Plenty of quiet areas and areas to gather as a large group as well. Even though I didn't have great food choices today; I'm pretty sure while I'm in town this weekend, I'll go back and try some different dishes. See you all soon!!

I got a favorite combo and then a few dimsum to share ( shu mai, spareribs, chicken feet and sticky rice I can't remember the exact name). All was very good. I added crawfish to my combo but I think I'll skip that and add more dungeness crab legs or something else next time- I'm spoiled but super fresh crawfish from New Orleans. Our server was very nice. I would love to go back! We spent a little over $100 for two people.

I came in to Smoking Fatty's with my family back in July for my birthday and ordered myself a pound…read moreof brisket--both lean and fatty cuts. I've been smoking meats myself for well over a decade, so I was honestly pretty disappointed by what I got. The brisket had clearly been rewarmed in some kind of liquid that tasted heavily of liquid smoke. There was no rendered fat or tallow on the surface--just a watery "broth" that left the meat bland. The bark was decent, but it got soft from sitting in the liquid. The flat wasn't tough, but definitely wasn't tender either. It needed more time on the smoker to break down the collagen. The real issue was with the point slices. What I got had nearly ¾ inch of solid fat left on it--should've been trimmed better--and it was sliced way too thin, thinner than a wood pencil. That cut should be served thick to showcase the richness, not shaved like deli meat. I'm not the type to normally complain to my waitress, but she cleared nearly half a pound of brisket off my plate without asking a single question, which surprised me. I know stuff happens and not every cook is perfect. But this was pretty bad for a bbq joint owned by a company with multiple restaurants here in Elkhart.

The service was fantastic, even made a few jokes. The place is beautiful and the views are nice. Focaccia - $13 - I asked if this was house made bread, and they said yes, so I went with this over the Burrata appetizer. The bread was fantastic, and the whipped ricotta was delicious. It's simple but very good. 5/5 stars. Lobster Bisque - $15 - Good flavor, decent amount of lobster. I was pleasantly surprised how good this was. 5/5 stars. Cascade Salad - $9 or $14 - This was pretty good as well. A different family member ordered this and I was also pleasantly surprised again. It ALMOST makes me want to order it (if they didn't have lobster bisque). 5/5 stars. 16oz Ribeye with Black Truffle Butter - $78 + $4 - The sear was perfect, the medium rare cook was spot on, and the flavor couldn't be better (well, almost, because my Black Truffle Butter was more like wine butter). Here's my gripe, if you put something was Black Truffle Butter why on earth is there wine?! My body can't process alcohol (which is why I don't drink), and when I taste uncooked alcohol, all I taste is alcohol. So, this was my only gripe. I couldn't taste any truffle, just alcohol. I had to switch with my husband for parts of his New York Strip, and he took the parts of my steak that had the truffle butter. 5/5 stars, but the Truffle Butter 0/5 stars. 14oz New York Strip - $69 - Perfect sear, cook, and flavor. You really can't go wrong with the steaks here. 5/5 stars. Grilled Asparagus - $14 - Perfectly cooked, and not stringy. 5/5 stars. Au Gratin Potatoes - $14 - These potatoes everyone loved. Normally, I'm not a bread crumb topping person, but it works here. 5/5 stars. Mashed Potato - $12 - These are just typical steakhouse mashed potatoes. Smooth and good, you couldn't make them better, but they get outshined by all the other dishes. 5/5 stars. Creme Brulee - $9 - This was to die for. Whatever cream they use is so good. One of the best creme brulees you could ever get. 5/5 stars. I apologize for the lack of picture, apparently I was so excited that I just forgot to take one. This place is one of the best restaurants in Indiana. You need to go here. Just don't get the truffle butter, unless you like alcohol. Everything else is amazing.

I ordered 4 steak tacos with cilantro & onions, lime, red sauce, green sauce, and a side of rice.

The seasoning of the steak for me was on point. I ordered a side order of the Mexican rice and ate every single grain. The reason I only gave it 4 stars was because I haven't tried their seafood dishes and have not experienced what the service is like when dining in during the evenings for dinner.
