There are pros and cons of this restaurant. The promise that our server was very sweet and attentive. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice. My friend and I did enjoy our drinks and they were very tasty.
For being a Cameron Mitchell Restaurant, I am a little bit disappointed about the quality of food. The queso dip that we got was cold, the guacamole was decent. My friend ordered a burger and fries and the fries tasted nearly similar to those that you’d get at McDonald’s. I ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese and it was decent, the food was cold. It wasn’t a terrible experience but I feel like for the amount of money we pay at these upscale restaurants I expected a lot better in the quality of food.

Absolutely amazing!! We started with the cheese stuffed butter rolls and they are perfection. Gooey buttery cheese clouds from heaven. The French dip was loaded with the most tender melt in your mouth meat, paired with a very fresh horseradish sauce. The rigatoni bolognese is the best I've ever had! It was hearty and loaded with flavor, definitely comfort food.
