The best Cowboy Cut Pork Chop I’ve ever had! The Brussels were a little too oily but mashed sweet potatoes were yummy! Overall, good food, good value, and good service.

We started with the Small plates of Avocado and then the Salmon. The Avocado dish was divine...perfectly warm with tantalizing flavors beneath it. The salmon was really good but we weren't fans of the "crisp" that comes with it which is made from the skin...too fishy for our taste. That's a personal preference. I had the burger and my wife the Cacio e Pepe. Both were also excellent.

Service was great when the waitress actually showed up. Menu was odd but what we ordered we liked. Would have ordered more after apps if our waitress ever returned. We called it a night and went to grab wings. Good concept poor execution.

This restaurant in the Westin Hotel was a surprise. The food is very good as was the service. The ambiance is lack luster and doesn’t fit the level of the cuisine. We will definitely be back when we are at an event at the river walk.
