- MCMatthew Ctoday5.0I came here for a work dinner. A group of 12 and the service never missed a beat. They were on it even with our large party. The service was spectacular as was the food. For apps, I highly recommend the Sauerkraut balls as those were some of the best I have ever had. I got the bone in ribeye and it was cooked to perfection. Well seasoned and a really good cut of meat. The vibe was very dim, relaxing and welcoming. As the name suggests it is in a barn which is a nice touch and provides a great experience. This place was excellent, will be back sooner than later!
- SJStephanie Jones2 days ago4.0The food was absolutely delicious and our service was good; however, the ambiance was not quite what I'm use to. The restaurant had a cluttered feel to it, which made it difficult to hear the people at my table.
- AGAshley GillDec 6, 20255.0Came here for our anniversary dinner and we could not be happier. We have been for Sunday brunch before and thought that was a very good deal for such delicious food but the dinner really out does it. The ambience is very cozy and inviting. Our server, Jamiere, was extremely hospitable and attentive. But the food was the star still! The ribeye has a great crust while still being medium/rare. The walleye was also perfectly cooked and had no fishy taste. And our sides were all the ideal versions you would expect from a steak house restaurant. We will be back again! This is probably our favorite Cameron Mitchell concept by far.
- RWRebecca WelchDec 3, 20254.0The Brunch had a variety of meats, seafood, breakfast items and tasty desserts. All the food was delicious with no doubt. One cannot eat enough to justify the cost...or more importantly, one shouldn't eat until they are uncomfortable. Love Cameron Mitchell's restaurants overall.
- MNMio NúñezDec 1, 20254.0This was my first time dining here. My friend had eaten here before and recommended it. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. I love the various spaces to dine. When you walk in, you're welcomed by hosts. Definitely recommend making reservations. We didn't wait long to be seated and if we had to wait, that have beautiful seating where you can sit, wait and talk. They also had a large room with a nice bar and selection. The dining area behind the host counter has long dinner tables that seats 10 people at least. I didn't count. They had large booths which is where we sat in. We had an amazing server. I can't remember her name, busy she was super professional, fun and made sure our order was accurate. We had warm rolls. We ordered the salmon with vegetables on a side order of mashed potatoes. The salmon was overcooked but the vegetables and potatoes were good. The order came with a super salad which I got the lasso bisque and it was pretty good. We were celebrating my birthday so we got a coconut cake. This wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. Cooking a cake happens to be one of my favorite cakes and I've had better. Overall, I really enjoyed my time there. The stuff was very professional, polite and helpful. I would recommend it and I plan to come back and try something else on their menu. The bathrooms were nice and clean and they had all the things that women may need.
