Dining

Dining★ 4.5

Steaks arrive with a crisp char and a pink center, a beefy snap that speaks to solid grill work. Meatloaf stays tender and smoky, finished on the grill with mushrooms, brown gravy, and bleu cheese crumbles. Chicken Cordon Bleu is pan-seared, breaded, and topped with Swiss, smoked ham, and a zippy honey mustard sauce—each bite a bold, distinct flavor ride.
