Amazing food, without seed oils! I'll take a restaurant like that any day over your average, over priced, mediocre food! Worth the wait! Waited about 35 minutes even with a reservation on a Thursday night, but it's that good and we will definitely be back! Cool vibe, different cocktails and the Bison is TDF! Can't wait to go back for Tomahawk Taco Tuesday! Definitely try The Ends, you will not be disappointed in the upscale quality of their food! Butter & Tallow--YES PLEASE!

What a pleasant experience!!! We came here on Christmas Eve for dinner and all the way from the food to the service it was all amazing! Beautiful restaurant, everything is so spaced out yet it can accommodate so many tables/people. The laaarge outdoor patio was also very nice to go out to after for a drink. We ordered quite a few menu items for just the two of us because we simply could not resist trying a variety of the menu items and not a single complaint ! This place was stunning during the holiday season and so nicely decorated. Thank you for making our Christmas Eve even a bit more special, we will be back!

We had a reservation to celebrate a birthday in the dining section. Our booth was lovely. The evening was exceptional and included oysters, crab cakes, filets, wedge and Caesar salads , sauces, Mac-n-cheese and expertly crafted cocktails. The butter cake dessert was the finishing touch. The staff was exceptional. This was our second visit to celebrate an occasion. B&B is impressive!
