The food was amazing and so was the atmosphere. Only downside was food portions. The staff was knowledgeable and amazing, bartender was on point, and ambiance was phenomenal. Highly recommend this little gem. Amazing.

Gem of a spot in Ozark! Small town restaurant, who are not afraid to pack some big city punches. So glad to see them back up and running after those bad floods.

Really enjoyed our first visit. Cool atmosphere and amazing drinks. The food came out missing the sides and the server noticed and compd them without hesitation for our friends. I had fried chicken and my husband had the sea bass. We shared crab cakes and kale. I will be back just for the kale!!!!

Man, the bad reviews, from our experience, are not warranted. However, I do know that when restaurants open, especially like this one, standards are high. That being said, they were met with flying colors for us. We couldn’t get a table, so decided to sit at the bar, and probably will do that moving forward because the service was astounding and the questions we asked about the food, drinks and the the history of the farm were met with an exciting eagerness, and went far above and beyond expectations. The atmosphere is incredible as to be expected with a Morris establishment. The drinks were great and the food was absolutely delicious. I could be hypercritical, and say that the skin on my duck was not as crispy as it probably should have been, or that the giant scallop was just a tad undercooked, but that would be unfair because the experience and food were all in all, incredible. This will be our go to when we have out of town guests, period, end of story. If you want to have a special experience and entertain anyone, for whatever occasion, for whatever reason, I’m not sure you’re going to find a better venue in Springfield or surrounding. Suggested would be an understatement, Bravo

This place was exquisite. Atmosphere was romantic, dining was intimate. The food was amazing, however the portions were small. The cocktails were spot on and the service was amazing. The bartender was very knowledgeable and very personable. Highly recommend this as a nice night out.

Great little restaurant with both a standard menu as well as a seasonal one. Nice selection of beer on tap as well as cocktails. We shared the charcuterie board, loaded with fresh and pickled veggies but saw a pizza delivered to the next table and it looked delightful. Get a table by the window for a great view!

We had the Riverside Experience. If it’s your first time visiting, I highly recommend this. It’s a great sampling of their items and was more than enough food for two people. We were lucky enough to be there on a foggy night so the views were especially gorgeous when we strolled outside after dinner. A magical night to get engaged!

We loved it! Tried a ton of things on the menu but the standout favorites were the Garrison drink, ricotta appetizer, sweet potatoes, mini pot roast, and fried chicken. Our fav desserts were the donuts and the pound cake. Caden was our waiter and he did a great job. The atmosphere made this place special – I mean, where else do you have to have a secret password to enter? 🙂 Make a reservation and go there!

We absolutely loved the atmosphere at the outside seating, beautiful view, dim, candle lit tables, cozy couches, and twinkle lights. Our cocktails were delicious and well made. However… I ordered Duck, and when it arrived, it was absolutely impossible to even cut through it, it was so undercooked we had to send it back and order another entree! The food is incredibly overpriced for the portion they serve and it leaves you hungry. The server told us she would let the chef know our feedback about the duck, and sadly there was no reimbursement or offer to rectify the horrible meal! We ended up paying for 2 meals for disgusting undercooked, inedible duck we couldn’t even eat!!! This restaurant could be such a great thing. But they seriously need to get their act together on their food as well as the tiny portions they offer for what they charge.

This place is a vibe! Beautiful, old speakeasy that seems elegant and cozy all at once. The food is phenomenal. Don’t leave without trying the pound cake dessert. Seriously. Derek at the bar is a gem. He makes great suggestions and even better drinks. We can’t wait to come back.
