We’ve always believed that dining should be a social occasion, a time when friends, family, and coworkers can enjoy great conversation over a great meal.We believe in supporting our local artisans and staying connected to our Black Hills community. At a time when the area is growing and expanding, we are striving to keep the flavor of the region alive.Inspired by the history of this area, both the aesthetics of the building and the diversity of the menu are true to our local roots, something no nation-wide franchise can duplicate. Certainly, there are other steakhouses out there, but none like ours.From the first design to the actual construction, we have focused on creating a balance between upscale dining and a casual atmosphere-crafting a chic steakhouse where the kids are welcome too.The rest is easy-buy the very best meat possible and prepare it correctly.

    My husband had the filet and said it was perfect. I don’t eat beef, so I had the grilled chicken sandwich, which was also very good.

    The food was Ah-maz-ZING! Starting at the beginning... the complimentary bread was great, the butter it came with was pre melted and seasoned. We had lobster rolls as an appetizer, they have a great take having them on Hawaiian rolls! I had a filet and my husband had the wagyi ribeye. He's a steak snob and was legitimately almost in tears from how much he enjoyed his steak. He said it was the best steak he's ever had *and we've paid $100s more for a steak before!*. The parm truffle fries... to DIE for. Honestly, everything was great. The atmosphere was nice and quiet, no super loud music or people. The server was phenomenal. 10/10. We will be back again & again!
