Just to add to the accolades . . .
We ordered the octopus, the campfire jar, a duck, and the ribeye, and had the ice cream cones and goat cheese pear cake desserts, and one was better than the next! The flavor combinations on virtually each dish were so unique - and worked well beyond expectations - that I have difficulty describing them other than "you'll have to try them for yourself" (and I'm confident that after what's been written here most forum members will do just that!).
Our one complaint (if you want to call it that) was that we ordered (and totally finished) too much! The servings are larger than they seem at first, and we had a ton of food to get through. I'm almost sorry it was so good - we did somehow manage to finish absolutely everything. I think that the campfire jar was very rich; we talked that one time we might come in for just some drinks in the relaxing bar area, split a jar or two, maybe split an appetizer, and have a great night, while the next time we eat at the actual restaurant part we'd skip the jars and maybe try two appetizers?
One thing I'd like to mention is that the Old Fashioned was possibly the best I've ever had in my life. The blend of spirits, bitters, et al - even to the unusual large ice cube - was the smoothest drink I can remember. My wife and I were fighting over who got that, and that's what led to our wanting to come back and just get Old Fashioneds and a jar or two in the lounge!
