Come here to see 1860s Western decor and stay for the food—including some of the best steak and seafood in the region. The bar is a friendly place to gather; the dining rooms are cozy, the tablecloths white, and the walls replete with photos from the last 140 years of the area's history. The property also includes the Opera House, where live music is performed (on Friday and Saturday at 8).
Juicy, thick steaks and seafood (from lobster to blackened catfish) are the draws at this old-school, white-stucco establishment with Spanish-style arches across the facade. Steaks are aged in-house and are reliably good. The Southwest decor is enhanced by a cactus garden. Homemade soups, desserts, and freshly baked bread add to the aromas and the cheery ambience. The bar is a popular hangout.
