    We had a business dinner and everything was delicious. We had a lovely bottle of bubbles, the lemon ricotta and the charcuterie. I think most of us had the lamb, steak or the sea bass. Not a bite left for any boxes. My crew never sleeps on dessert, so we had tiramisu and the apple pie cheesecake. Which I’ll likely dream about both for the foreseeable future. Thanks for great spot for meeting our new CIO.

    We randomly found this place on OpenTable and BOY are we glad we did! We were staying at the Gaylord and wanted to go off property and Geist was a fifteen minute uber ride away. This was one of the best dinners I’ve had in my life and everyone at my table agreed. We basically ordered everything and tasted everyone’s and wowza, do I wish I lived near here and could go once a week. What a gem of a place!

    Beautiful ambiance, especially in the champagne garden. Server was very sweet, but service itself was slow. Food was very good.
