Went here with my boyfriend for our anniversary, this restaurant well exceeded my expectations!! I got the garlic stuffed beef tenderloin and my boyfriend got the Elk loin. Both dishes were phenomenal! I definitely would recommend this restaurant. The only thing I would honestly complain about is probably the people who were at the bar, they were loud and it was pretty hard to visit. I would also say it takes a while, so make sure you’re not in a rush.

Great place for a nice dinner. Food and service were both excellent. Only complaint is that the staff is wearing UT burnt orange instead of TCU purple. It is Fort Worth, not Austin.

Took my wife here for her Birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed our entire meal, from the guacamole appetizer to our entrees. I had the chicken parmigiana with pasta. They made it not-spicy for me even though the menu said different. My wife had the planked salmon and enjoyed it. We finished off with both available desserts, key lime pie and chocolate silk pie. Both were yummy. We'll be back!

Sandy was amazing! All the staff was very knowledgeable of the menu! We had one of the best lemon drops in all of Fort Worth from the amazing ladies behind the bar. Everyone working was very polite and personable even the employees not assigned to our section were welcoming and helpful.
