We were pleasantly surprised that a restaurant on a college campus rivals the best in the city, in every respect. It does.

All but one in a party of 6 enjoyed their meals. However a bison tenderloin was sent back twice for further cooking and still wasn’t deemed edible. Another member consumed it without complaint. It’s an odd phenomenon that such attentive service personnel would leave empty cocktail glasses on the table while studiously refilling water and topping off wine glasses. But overall the service, meal descriptions by staff and quality were excellent.
