    I was extremely impressed by everything today. Everyone was friendly from the first face, and we were quickly brought to our table. The place was huge and beautiful, reminding me of Yellowstone Lodge, but with a much darker stain, and quite full, but tables were still open for other reservations. We ordered, and it seemed as if the food magically appeared in the shortest amount of time. The food was top notch, very flavorful, and so much we clearly have leftovers for the weekend. In addition, we had a gentleman clearing tables ask us if we needed anything. It has been a while since I have seen employees, who were that attentive to customer needs. My only complaint is that I was shocked that they did not offer some form of roll, or specialty bread. We will return next year!
