My wife and I were really excited to visit this restaurant. I made reservations for her birthday to try it For the 1st time. I... showed up a little late, But they still allowed us to get seated quickly, which was nice. It took our waitress a little bit toget to us as they were at capacity, but she was very nice and attentive once she arrived. She took our drink orders and all thedrinks were really good. I had a watermelon mojito and my wife had a fruit sangria. Where things started to fall apart was thewait time. It took a long time to get food to us. She even miss-recommended splitting a wedge salad. I asked if it was bigenough to share and she said, yes, it was a good size. When it came to us it was probably the smallest salad I have ever eaten. Definitely not big enough to share. It was delicious and had I had a full order, it would have been perfect. We started withthe appetizers which my son and I had shrimp cocktail. That was really good except for they hide all the cocktail sauce inlettuce in a cup and it makes it very difficult to dip the shrimp in lettuce mixed with cocktail sauce. The next course we gotwas was clam chowder for me and my wife ordered French onion soup. My wife's French onion soup was absolutely fantastic. Probably the best I've ever had flavor-wise. The only issue was the temp of the soupbwas not hot enough. As if it had sat agood while before coming out. My clam chowder was one of the worst I've ever had. It was very chocky and full of large lumpsof flour. Due to the small salad size and my lack of taste for the soup, I opted to order a steak Burger for the next day or ifI was still hungry at the end of our dinner. For her entree my wife ordered a filet mignon with French fries. She felt it wasslightly overcooked but I thought it looked about what she ordered. By that point we had shared enough food that we were bothfairly full and had just enough room for dessert. For dessert I ordered bread pudding and she Read more

This place was ultra cute and definitely worth a stop. I loved how eclectic and vintage the vibe was. In mid May we sat outside... for dinner comfortably. I was in town for work and was recommended this place by a local physician. The view was gorgeous, theservice was great, and the food was delicious!! The bathrooms are clean and the dress seemed casual to business casual on aWednesday night. Great for a happy hour gathering, family get together, or just a fun date night. Read more

5 stars for sure. We had the Blistered Burrata to start and it was heavenly. Not what I expected, but absolutely delicious. Then... husband and I shared the Savory Meatloaf. Large portion and just delicious. The meatloaf was perfect, combined with chunkymashed potatoes, corn and green beans. All cooked to perfection. Ended with Bread Pudding that was TO. DIE. FOR. I could havescarfed the whole thing alone but husband saved me by sharing ????. We only spent 61 total so left a generous, well deserved tipbecause Jessica was fantastic and all staff was extremely nice. Read more

This place was fun, loud, and very relaxing to in. When the small barn restaurant down stairs rejected me and my lady, the host... was kind, helpful and on the money when it came to doing her job. We were given options on the seating area, of course we sat atthe bar and even then it was Amazing. The young blond barista was professional, and calm, collected, and very funny as well, shesure knows how to make some amazing drinks. This place is must go to restaurant to enjoy fresh sea food and real Americancooking, I give many props to the chef and the employees in th kitchen, I don't often do but the food and the environment isjust that impressive. I gave this place a 5 star rating but it sure deserves more than that. Read more

The food was phenomenal. I never had prime rib before but it sure made me have a higher expectation for it now. The corn is... definitely different from just regular corn too. A nice drink with our dinner as well. We had no room left for dessert afterthis meal. The staff was friendly and awesome. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy a nice dinner. Read more

Ah, the good old Gambling Cowboy! Can’t tell you enough how much my wife and I love this place! The ambiance and vibe are... excellent! This is a great establishment for a romantic evening out, to celebrate an event or just go grab some delicious foodbecause you’re in town. Staff is always great and very attentive! The food, well, that’s the main reason we keep comingback! Being a chophouse, they’re known for their steaks! You can’t go wrong no matter what cut you choose! We have torecommend the bacon wrapped scallops too! Those might be some of the best appetizers anywhere! Enjoy your dinner with a widevariety of beer, wine or spirits from their full bar! Dessert, I cannot comment on because we’re always too full to try it!Can’t wait to come back! Cannot recommend the Gambling Cowboy high enough! You won’t be disappointed! ???? ???? Read more
