This place has so much potential but on both of our visits they did not cook any steak order at our table at a temperature other than rare. On both visits members of our party had to send steaks back to be refired. Everything about the service has been excellent. Many will say rare is the only way a steak should be ordered, but if I'm we're paying $65 a cut we just want it cooked to the temp ordered. I want to emphasize that all client facing staff are superb, the cocktails are exceptional, and the vibe is great. The meat quality is obviously great, and we want to give this establishment one more shot. Please cook the steak to the temperature ordered.

Definitely ask for the deviled eggs and oysters, the peach bourbon drink, the chicken fried meat ribeye was good but the gravy is not good, huge shrimp on the bacon wrap shrimp but bacon it was not cooked on the underside also coleslaw did not have any dressing. Otherwise it would’ve been great.

first comers … been waiting to make it a date night with friends! It was worth the wait- i mean time after first opening- we tried tuna tartare, calamari, flounder, and shrimp, creamed corn, and mushrooms! all excellent choices… our guests had short ribs and the tuna steak and no complaints. Frozen Old Fashioned was a nice treat and delicious… we couldn’t have asked for better service from a gal, i think her name was Maddie, from Wimberly- service is hard to come by these days, and she nailed it!
