Breakfast that really stands out. Everything is perfect. The breakfast meats were top quality. The eggs benedict were the best I ever had (and I try them at lots of places). Service is top-notch and friendly. We'll definitely be back for breakfast again and will try dinner next time.

Excellent Mushroom barley soup accompanied by a salad with fresh avocado. The main course was a half duck, extra crispy and cooked to perfection. Desert was a delightful creme brulee. The wait staff was excellent. We will be back.

We've been to Prairie Grass for dinner many times since it opened. We ate there last night with friends and this is the first time I feel compelled to write a review. The choices for dinner were very limited. When my husband ordered the duck medium, the waiter replied that it was pre-perpared and they could not do it. The... More

Our recent lunch at Prairie Grass was very good. The menu has changed since our last visit so we were forced to try new items. The whitefish was outstanding. The strawberry crepe for dessert was a super ending.

I had lunch here with a friend yesterday. We arrived slightly after 1230 and the place was noisy and crowded. We were seated immediately and brought some very crispy warm bread. I had the tempura shrimp from the appetizer menu and a bowl of the soup of the day which was potato soup. It was a bit thin but tasty.... More

A rather noisy atmosphere but has outstanding cuisine selections with organic and healthy selections. The service is tops - with waiters refilling your glass after each drink and they have a good computer ordering service that has the details of your order going to the kitchen from a desk near your table. The crusted halibut had a very tasty sauce... More

Excellent food and atmosphere, service B/B- but not so bad it spoiled the experience. Dinner menu always good with organic products featured. Wide selection of excellent appetizers (pate, spring rolls, dates particularly good) and many good entrees (crusted halibut and sausage special of the day always good). Wine list good but not cheap, they also offer BYO as that appeals.... More

Grass fed burger that is 2-1 on Wednsday . Served with crispy potato wedges. Order the burger medium rare for perfection. It's juicy, flavorful, and still 2-1. Everything else on the menu looks enticing but the prices are fairly high. Hard to stray away from this deal. Service is at a high level of making the customer happy.
