Gift Tips
- Try the Wangus steak or ribeye when it's on the menu — it's repeatedly praised for deep, charred beef flavor.
- Order the bison bone marrow or bison-focused dishes if available for a rich, shareable starter.
- Don't miss the elote-style corn ribs and Brussels sprouts as standout vegetable plates that pair well with wine.
- Save room for house-made desserts like the cheesecake, peanut butter pie, or crème brûlée — desserts get frequent praise.
- Ask the staff for cocktail or wine recommendations; the curated wine list and handcrafted cocktails (Cadillac Margarita, House Old Fashioned) are highlights.
