    Food was delicious. As an appetizer we ate the mussels, they were very good with a lovely broth. We tried the duck, walleye, and Manhattan steak. Walleye and duck were especially good. Atmosphere was cozy and warm. On the service side it seems like they are a bit understaffed and figuring it out. I will go back.

    We had the best mussels we’ve ever had in our life along with the oysters. Our filet was superb. Can’t wait to go back

    Absolutely gorgeous and the food was outstanding! Moody speakeasy vibe and the music was spot on! We were seated on the higher level with a bird's rye view of the entire place. Beautiful! Server was perfect! Highly recommend!! Sioux Falls is lucky to have this gem!

    Steak was tough. Service was marginal. Restaurants seemed dark and uninviting.

    We were advised by the hotel to hit the Cains but decided to do a little investigating and came up with a quasi-speakeasy, Blackwatch. The entire experience but especially the food, was fantastic.

    I expected more of a quiet atmosphere based on what others have told me, but it was quite loud. Our drinks were okay but not as good as expected. I had the one they start on fire and the smell of it was awful but it tasted just okay. The crème brûlée cheese was incredible but the chocolate ganache dessert fell short and tasted like chewy tootsie rolls. Our server was very nice and helpful. Overall, I had a fine time but probably won’t be back anytime soon!

    Clifton was our server and he was excellent. The food was prepared correctly and Clifton kept us informed about the timely preparation. Clifton was always smiling and pleasant. We enjoyed a filet mignon, a hamburger, pork secreto and sweet corn agnolotti. The entrees were prepared perfectly and the presentation was elegant. All four of us cleaned our plates! Our experience was perfect and we will be back!
