At the last minute I requested a table by a window/water view, and even though they said they may not be able to meet the request, they did, and our view was gorgeous. Everything we tried was honestly amazing- we started with the bread basket and spinach and artichoke dip, and it was so delicious. The teens got mocktails, which they enjoyed, and I had a huckleberry martini style drink, and it was also excellent. Our server recommended the soup of the day, and it was perfect for the rainy weather. We ordered the prime rib dip, steak and pesto pasta, and it was all full of flavor, fresh, and honestly, the best food of the trip. The ambiance is wonderful. The staff were all friendly and hospitable, the views were fantastic, and the food was divine. If you're in the area, definitely make a reservation here! You won't be disappointed.

    Honestly, the only good things I can say are that the location is great (right in the heart of…read moretown, with water views if you get a window seat) and the reservation process was simple online. We made a reservation for 8pm on a Saturday, and honestly, they weren't packed (they still had plenty of tables open). When we arrived there was no one at the host stand, and when they came they didn't check us in right away. Once we confirmed the reservation it took about 10 minutes for us to be seated, and there was a couple that came after us that had a reservation at the same time and were seated before us (okay, no big deal). We did get a window seat, which was nice. But this is supposed to be an upper scale restaurant in the area, and the silverware we were given was dirty, so not a great start. The server came to take our order, we ordered mocktails and a huckleberry lemon drop as well as the bread basket and the cured meat and cheese plate- compared to the Cutwater, honestly, no comparison. The teens didn't even drink the mocktail (which the server did take off the bill, and that was nice) and the lemon drop was okay. The bread basket and meat plate were fine, but we wouldn't order them again. My son ordered the 12oz ribeye (which was nearly 60.00) and I would say at least 50% of it was fat, and his was overcooked. I ordered the flat iron, and mine was undercooked, so he ended up eating mine. The herb roasted potatoes needed seasoning and felt like something they simply tossed on the plate. My daughter's Caesar salad was as expected to a side salad. Our server never came to check on us after the food was brought out, and we waited for her to return after we were done with the food for nearly 20 minutes. Overall we were disappointed and not truly certain why this place is recommended above other similar places in town. Very expensive, seems like it is trying to be upscale or more "fine-dining" but it missed the mark for us.

The staff is wonderful and the menu is not overwhelming and very unique. We had the Elk meatloaf on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. The layers of flavors are off the chart, from the richness of the Elk to the maple bacon gravy combined with the mash potatoes, which had a hint of cheese. The lounge is very warm and cozy as well. We will definitely be back and we give this a 5 must visit.
