This place is a great choice for a nice dinner. The fine dining set up is perfect for a date night or a special occasion. They also have a casual bar. The food was delicious! For appetizers we had the mussels and stuffed mushrooms, for dinner I had the stuffed chicken in a pepper cream sauce with mashed potatoes. The food was all so delicious but we had almost a 40 min wait for the food. Server was very kind and professional. Entrees are around $32 and up.

Celebrated a friends birthday here and it was a great experience! Food was great, drinks were great but the best thing was the service Cybele provided. She was incredible. Try the bread pudding, it really is Award winning.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Their food was amazing. Calamari was crispy and delicious. Chicken taco is a must try and had a hint a nice spicy sauce! Buffalo chicken wings were delicious with a hint of spicy, not too sour like most Buffalo sauce, just the way I like it. The salad was delicious, sweet, and complimented the blue cheese well!!!! The filet mignon wrapped with bacon topped with scampi and mashed potatoes were a 10/10. I'm not a big fan of filet mignon, but this place made me like filet mignon even more now. Every bite melted in your mouth, and the mash potatoes complimented well. Quality and quantity Q/Q.

Service was outstanding. Started with the Lobster bites, stuffed mushrooms and lobster Mac and cheese. I couldn't pick a favorite. All of them were so good! I had the meatloaf. The flavor was incredible. Finished with the smores dessert. The presentation was fun! Great dinner.

Lunch was a bit of a letdown. I've been here for dinner multiple times and it's always fantastic. Great steaks, delicious sides, just a quality experience from start to finish. But lunch did not live up to the same standard. Service was fantastic but the menu options disappointed. I had a simple Soup and sandwich, the turkey was dry, my croissant looked like someone stepped on it and the clam chowder tasted like I was eating straight out of the salt shaker. I would hesitate to go back and could not recommend it. There are much better lunch options in Visalia.

Food has been up and down with long wait times and inconsistent quality. Had to send orders back a number of times which I never do usually but ordering a medium rare- rare steak and getting medium well is not fine dining. Coconut shrimp is dry but nachos are always good. Despite food lately, bar service is fantastic and the drinks are aaaamaaaazing.
