    We came in from Omaha to celebrate my partner’s birthday and had a very relaxing and tasty time. I got the dragon noodles and they were delicious, hearty and filling. Our server was friendly, attentive and informative about vegan items, and he treated my partner to a birthday dessert! Thank you!

    Luckily we had a reservation, it was very busy. I had the duck breast and it was delicious. Loved the blend of flavors. I also tried the drink Spirit Cleanser. Loved it! I could drink about 10 of those!

    My fiancé and I were out tonight to celebrate our engagement and exactly 11 months until our wedding day. Every single staff member was excellent and our waiter, CJ, really went above and beyond to help us celebrate. Not only that but we had the best drinks, appetizers, steaks, and soufflé that you can get in the Midwest. We were amazed by everything and can easily say that the experience was worth every penny.

    My wife and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary while dining in. The hotel is beautifully restored revealing its historic charm and that is carried out throughout the restaurant area. Our waitress was fabulous and she really did a great job in making us feel special on our date with added touches to the dessert plate and even providing an unexpected discount. It was much more than we would ever spend on a night out together, but due to the occasion, it was well worth it!
