The worst part of my experience was definitely the gnocchi. Tasted absolutely awful. However, all other aspects were moderately nice. Charcuterie board and beef sliders were slightly above average. The outside surrounding area was gorgeous, and you can go down the stairs to the outdoor area.

We celebrated our wedding at this restaurant in December, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The service was outstanding, attentive, warm, and incredibly accommodating to all our needs. The food was exceptional, and every guest kept commenting on how delicious everything was. Communication and organization were seamless throughout the entire process, which made planning so much easier and stress-free. The venue itself is beautiful, with well-maintained vegetation that creates a charming and elegant atmosphere. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special day. Highly recommend! Thank you Tim and the entire team for making our day unforgettable!

I think I had very high expectations after seeing photos online. While I was anticipating a polished, upscale atmosphere, the reality was a bit different. From the street, the restaurant is surprisingly unassuming; if you aren’t looking for it, you could easily drive right past. Once inside, the vibe is strictly rustic. While some might find it cozy, I felt the interior could use a bit of a "shine." Having dined at other high-end establishments, the upkeep here felt like it was trailing behind the premium cost of the meal. However, the service was a major highlight. Our server was incredibly nice and warm. From the moment we sat down, he welcomed us and treated us with the utmost care and respect, which definitely elevated the evening. This was my first foray into game meat, so I approached the menu with a mix of curiosity. Since I don't have a baseline for these meats, it’s hard to tell if my experience was due to the preparation or the nature of the proteins. Bison was amazing and definitely the highlight of the night. Venison, Rabbit, & Quail were "so-so" or just okay for me. I couldn’t quite tell if the preparation was lacking or if I just didn't care for the specific meats. The whipped accompaniments for the bread were good, but the bread itself was mediocre. Similarly, the drink I ordered was just "ok ok"—nothing to write about.

Rustic country vibe. Beautiful scenery with simple decor. Great for casual dinner with a fancy flare. Food was great. Mashed potatoes had too much goat cheese but still ok. Our waiter was talkative but extremely personable and kind. Can't remember his name but his wife loves horses. I'll definitely be back.

Valet parking. Top tier service. Comfortable atmosphere. Delicious fare: nice presentation & portion size. The food was the star. The game was cooked to perfection, so tender. The fish was well seasoned & the sauce & spinach were very good. Our least favorite bite of the night with the cheddar grits that came with the quail appetizer & the wild game entrée. A bit more seasoning would have helped. The highlight of the meal was the dessert. Hands down, the best dessert I've ever had. The atmosphere was elevated but not stuffy. We had a lovely time celebrating our anniversary. The card from the staff was a sweet touch. Highly recommend.
