| - My husband and I visited stockyards the other night to celebrate his raise. There was plenty of parking and no wait for a table. With all the large roomy booths available, we were stuffed into a tiny one situated right next to another table; oh well. Our server Jeff was really great; heck, even the guy filling up our water was pleasant.
We started by ordering two Manhattan's; they had both Woodford reserve and bookers, kudos for a fine bourbon selection. However, it seems like the bartender really shook up the cocktails instead of stirring them, as they both came out bubbly and watered down. The complementary biscuits, cornbread and relish tray were a nice touch.
As for the rest of the food, I was both impressed and underwhelmed. We ordered the clam chowder that had bacon in it, but sadly it wasn't as amazing as it sounded. The prime rib was amazing, cooked to perfection and melt-in-your-mouth good. The mashed potatoes that accompanied it were bland. We ordered some type of smores in a jar dessert and I wasnt in love.
Overall we had a nice experience, but the prices are really expensive for what I feel you get. We had two Manhattan's, two glasses of wine, 2 entrees and a small dessert for $141. That seems a bit high to me.
