Cavalryman Steakhouse

"Not a firewall 5 stars across the board but close enough to merit the high marks overall.

To start, the current GM has only been there for two months and is in progress of making changes for the better after the history of many other GMs for whatever reason. We had a lengthy conversation with him at the end of the shift which was very informative and helpful to know the ideas he has going forth. I wish him all the success in getting these reviewed/approved/implemented because I think they are really good ideas for the place. We will return for sure for another meal here and support him/the place.

Service was awesome between the hostess and the waitstaff. Both made sure glasses were full and things were attended to as needed throughout the visit. Many other places could take lessons from these ladies in how to do customer service and restaurant biz, e.g., cleaning other tables or keeping the dining area clean, even when not attending to the customer. It was very good quality service.

The starlight ceiling is pretty cool to sit under and eat by. The site specific historical vibe presented throughout is really cool to read, look at, admire, and learn from given the location and the area. I applaud them for that. Would like to see them add some indigenous history for a complete local history relative to the historical vibe they are presenting. Laramie has such a rich history, especially this location. Get the fireplace going and some vibe appropriate music overhead in the background to complete the sitting areas.

Now, for the part we all want to read about...the food. It was phenomenal! There was a Valentine's Day menu they made and presented, which did NOT disappoint. Pork Saltimbocca was off the charts with the two breaded pork pieces, the polenta, and the spinach. Tender, creamy, tasteful beyond what many places offer today. I would order it again if they had it on the regular menu, which is not a part of, but was recommend to be or at least make another appearance on a special occasion menu. They should be proud of it! To me, I loved the soda bread and its tie to the western traveler across the land who only had this (or soda crackers) to eat while on horseback or wagon train. The French Onion soup did not cut it for me (not warm enough and lacked a deep broth richness), but I won't hold that against them and the rating. All of the other food seen coming out of the kitchen looked mouthwateringly good and tempting to eat!

Thank you Calvaryman for the great Valentine's Day menu and dinner!"

"Food was pretty good, really enjoyed the mushroom appetizer and the French onion soup. I also tried the bison steak and while it was just good, it also felt too expensive. Mashed potato portion was very tiny and the grilled veggies were okay. Lots of other things on the menu that looked good and were pretty well priced though.

All in all a decent experience that might be worth trying if you haven’t and you’re really into meat."

"I was very disappointed in both appetizerz the calamary and the mountain oysters, the throwback with bison was ok, the sweet potato with cinnamon puree didn't seem to go with the dish, since it was all pile high together perhaps if it was separate, do not order the lavender margarita it tastes like drinking an air freshener.

however the bison burger was cooked perfectly and was juicy."
