    Disappointing experience. They were out of short ribs. Took our orders for KC Strip steaks with horseradish cream sauce. Forgot to tell us they were out of horseradish cream sauce when we ordered so brought A1 steak sauce. How does a restaurant that takes reservations run out of horseradish cream sauce? Literally one of the easiest sauces to make in a kitchen.

    While the restaurant was beautiful and the staff was kind. It was extremely packed for Saturday brunch. There is not enough seating for people who are wishing for their tables and the bathrooms were very disgusting. I got the short rib hash which was very bland and had more veggies than short rib but the drinks and the monkey bread were delicious. I’d come again but only for dinner.

    Wonderful as always! The new menu is carefully curated by their new chef and leaves us wanting to try all the dishes! We will be back soon.

    Food was pretty good. Omelette a little too salty. Waiters seemed busy. Fast service but harried. Our main issue was we didn’t know brunch had a live DJ with VERY LOUD music. Lyle should list that on their website (or more prominently) - call it “Live DJ Brunch” or something like that. You can’t really hear any conversation at your table. I’m sure some people love that vibe, but not us!
