    All of the meals and the service were great. They have an incredible bourbon list also. I had the tenderloin which was so tender and flavorful. My wife enjoyed the chicken and my daughter the red fish. Our server was awesome, very attentive!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at McEwen’s. I was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The ambiance was welcoming and comfortable, with a beautiful soft candlelight decor. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, adding to the overall experience. I highly recommend this place.
