We visited Bounty Hunter Wine Bar for the first time while on vacation celebrating my husband's birthday, and what a memorable experience it was! The food was EXCELLENT we had the ribs, cornbread, and Mac n cheese. Our waitress, Samantha, was absolutely wonderful. She remembered that we were visiting from Las Vegas for his birthday and surprised us with a complimentary slice of cheesecake to celebrate. She also shared the fascinating history of the restaurant's historic 1800s building, which made our visit even more special. Although we didn't realize the restaurant closed at 8 p.m. (we're used to Vegas hours!), Samantha graciously told us to take our time and enjoy the rest of our food and wine. Her kindness, thoughtfulness, and hospitality truly stood out. Samantha made us feel welcomed and never rushed. Thank you, Samantha, for making our dinner and my husband's birthday trip that much more special. Employees like her make an experience unforgettable.
