The service was ok (we did have to request our white wine to be kept chilled as the waiter just put it on the table after opeing it). The salad greens weren't very fresh nor was the $70 a pound king crab. The four cheese french onion soup was very pedestrian....very little cheese and the broth was bland. Skip this... More

Salads with fresh ingredients and an interesting warm dressing. Beef tips perfectly cooked and well presented and bison stew that was first rate. Nice wine list, good service, all in all a very good experience.

I took a group of 20 here last night as part of a business trip. I'll have to admit, after reading the reviews, I was a bit nervous, but someone familiar with the area assured me I wouldn't be disappointed. Since we were staying in the hotel, I hesitantly made the reservation. I AM SO GLAD I did. If this... More

5 out of 7 of our party, were violently I'll within hours of eating here. We think it was the oysters, however I don't think my chicken was quite done. I ended up in the ER die to excessive vomiting and dehydration. The nurse at the ER said they see lots of good poisoning cases from Wendell's. beware!

Very expensive for what you got. Got better food at Chilis for a 1/4 of the price. Staff were very good though.

I was looking forward to eating at this restaurant...when I got my bone in ribeye steak, it looked really good. On the first bite of the steak it was tasteless. There was absolutely no flavor/seasoning at all. Why spend $$$ on something that has absolutely no taste. My husband ordered the elk steak and it had no flavor whatsoever. We... More

I had the stuffed shrimp with crab and corn jalapeño custard. The custard was bland but the shrimp and crap were good. However the waitress forgot to bring our appetizers out. Even though the waitress offered to buy us dessert it was still unacceptable. Moreover, they were out of a lot of entrees specifically no chicken or salmon. Maybe next... More

The food and service were both excellent with a good choice of steaks and seafood. Our waiter was very attentive and the atmosphere was quit. The price was kind of high.
