Was Anonym at The Virginian a mag?
The dining experience was outstanding. The buffalo rib was simply phenomenal—definitely one of the best I've had. The teriyaki salmon was also delicious, which is a great compliment to the ranchers. The historical atmosphere of the restaurant is wonderful. The staff is top-notch; our gracious host helped us secure the reservations we wanted. Our server, Skyy, was excellent and an absolute delight. The band playing at... View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about The Virginian:
Of course, this is named after author Owen Wister’s novel, The Virginian. We would have loved to have eaten here as it looked so lovely inside and very Old West and charming. It looks like the perfect place for a special occasion. Unfortunately, it was closed. I read some very good reviews that the food was very good. View all feedback.

As their website states : The Virginian restaurant at the Occidental Hotel is named after Owen Wister 's immortal novel The Virginian. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience here; although the wine list could use improvement with more of a selection. We each ordered filet mignon wrapped in bacon with sides. The steaks were cooked to order perfectly and delicious. Dessert was cherry pie for my husband and creme brulee for me. We reserved a window seat, and it was very cozy and private. It 's definitely a treat if you 're in the area.

Given my experience I will preface with all restaurants cut corners due to... The elk bites weren 't bites but apparently slices of elk. The slices were covered in an unusually sweet broth. I say broth because I expected a sauce. No. They were swimming in a sweet water. I tried to chew through them and I was reminded of when i chewed jerky as my dad showed me how to saw tree limbs. The dumplings on the menu were previously frozen and obvious. Show me a handmade dumpling and I will show every restaurant 's dumpling bought from a distributor The prime rib was a disaster. Raw center medium middle and well done exterior. The prime rib doesn 't deserve an explanation. The restaurant should be embarrassed
