The food was delicious. Their version of the blooming onion was good, but the dipping sauce was too runny. My girl had the ribeye steak with mushrooms, and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked. My prime rib was freaking delicious 😋. The staff was very attentive.

Everything was good, the food was good, drinks were relatively strong, service was prompt...but definitely on the pricey side, expect 30-40 dollars and up per plate. A good experience, but I'm not sure that the value is there for me.

Great rustic atmosphere with fantastic food. We really enjoyed my daughters dinner there. The portions are large enough for two to three meals for me. It was worth every penny. Although parking can be a challenge sometimes.

Brent served us and was incredibly nice. Must be his Fresno hospitality. We had the prime rib dinner. The Clam Chowder was one of the best I've ever had. Will definitely be back. Clean restaurant, plenty of parking and Brent made up for the cold reception by...Read More

3/22/25 a Saturday night, busy and had to wait about 15 mins. Not too bad. Service was excellent, our waitress made sure to always have our drinks full and made us felt like a priority. Food came out in good timing and everything tasted great....Read More

Great food and the experience was fantastic. When given the bill was shocked on how much things are but would truly enjoy food there again. The service was fantastic and very helpful for my wife's dietary needs. Stop in and you won't be disappointed.
