Aligned with the hotel's Old West theme, this small, casual restaurant is the best place to eat in town. It's decorated country-style, with vintage photos, and serves up hearty portions. Pizza, pasta, lasagna and big steaks – from 20oz porterhouses to T-bones and New York strips – are on the extensive menu. Sauces in dishes are all homemade. Breakfast available.
