We went to the late dinner on valentines. Food was good service was great!

Girlfriend and I went Valentines Day for dinner at 8:00pm with reservations. Host seemed a little confused about reservation. They had cleaned a table in main dining area for us. But when our menus were laid on table, another host picked up menus and said to follow him. He took us to a bar high table in the bar area. Waitress was immensely friendly and talkative. We ordered drinks, then an appetizer and meals. Took over 30 minutes to get our appetizer of chicken skewers basted in a peanut sauce. Ample size and good taste. Once we finished appetizer, I was approached by waitress and informed that they were out of medium rare prime rib and only had medium left. I agreed to medium. It was then another 30 minutes or so to receive our meal. Although more done than I would have liked to have eaten the prime rib was very good. GF had a ribeye steak with baked potato wedges. Her steak was cooked correctly but wasn't even warm enough to melt the butter that was served on top of it. Potato wedges were good but one was not cooked enough to it. . They obviously were aware of our wait, as we did get a free dessert of a skillet cookie and ice cream. The restaurant did not appear to be at full capacity. It would have been nice to sit in the general dining area as opposed to the bar. Food was good for most part but not up to the standards of the price charged.

The Whistlestop Fried Dream Tomatoes were amazing. My husband got the prime rib ordered it medium rare but something happened in the kitchen and it came out medium instead. He liked it, but has had better. I got the Berry Blue Filet. The steak was cooked great, but I wasn’t so sure about the blueberry toile. Overall, the food was great, though, and our server was amazing. Enjoyed Valentines Day with my love!!

We waited for an hour and a half for our food the other night. They gave us a complimentary appetizer and dessert because of the wait. The food was decent, but I was hoping for more. The seats were patched up with duct tape and the place looked outdated. I was not impressed and will not be returning.

This was our first time dining at this restaurant. We made a reservation for 4 pm on Valentine's Day yesterday. We had the entire place to ourselves. The food was exceptional - I ordered the filet medallions with garlic mashed potatoes and blueberries. The steak was cooked perfectly. For an appetizer, we ordered the breaded mushrooms which were also very good. We will definitely be returning. Hats off to the chef!
