    Our server, Michelle, was excellent. The food outstanding. The bread was soooo good. We started with a Caesar and chopped salad. Both very flavorful. We had salmon and filet. I think that filet was cooked so perfect. Medium rare. Cut like butter. My husbands salmon was cooked nicely but it really needed some type of sauce. Desserts (cheesecake and carrot cake) excellent. Highly recommend!

    Lynne and Zach were very attentive and fun, we really enjoyed our time with them. Overall the food was delicious, special Bison entree was fabulous. Beef filet mignon was a bit thin and slightly cooked beyond desired medium rare, but good flavor. Desserts over the top. Connie in the 1855 Lounge was very nice!
