We yelped and found this gem. We Loved the grilled walleye fish sandwich, the key lime cheesecake! So damn good. We asked for sliced jalapeños and that was the cherry on top for us, until we tasted the key lime cheesecake— Wow, perfected by the chef. If I’m ever in this area again, I’ll be eating here again. The service was fantastic.

Very friendly staff, great food, great drinks. Started off with Caesar salad and had the Sirloin steak for entree. (Added shrimp) the au gratin potatoes were amazing, highly recommend

We learned that the scallops are flown in from Boston every couple days, so we had to try the scallop risotto appetizer. It was amazing! The tap beer, service, quality, speed, and even music were great. We’ll be back.

Truly amazing place! Food is all homemade, they really take the time to make everything taste amazing. Brittany was our waitress after we met the owner and everyone was super friendly. We will be coming back again, and soon. Thank you for such a great experience.

The atmosphere was okay, floors rather sticky and quite a few flies. Our waitress was very kind and prompt. You can see straight into the kitchen as you go to the bathroom as the kitchen doors are wide open. I watched a waitress put her bare hands into the salad container and then plate the salad to be brought out to a customer. It grossed me out, I didn’t touch my own salad. We spent $100 as a family of four with two small boys. Not worth the price.

Great food. Different from the ordinary, so a bit expensive. Nice for large gatherings also. Pretty busy when we arrived, so it was noisy. Would be a great place to watch football or basketball games.

We went there for the bottomless bloody mary and mimosa bar and it was delicious. Friendly service and great food. We tried the chicken and waffles and seafood po boy sandwich! Would highly recommend either one. If you are looking for somewhere to go for Sunday brunch, this is the place!

I had heard such great reviews for this place and I was surprised to be so disappointed. My husband made reservations for mothers day brunch here. They weren’t overly busy and plenty of tables were open. We arrived a bit early asked to be seated about 5 minutes before our reservation. We ordered 3 sets of pancakes (1 adult and 2 kids) and a salmon omelet shortly after. It took just over an hour for our food to arrive. The waiter stopped to refill our waters once in this time and never said anything about the wait. When the food was finally delivered we had 3 sets of overdone (dry and slightly burnt) pancakes, the kids pancakes had no sides, the adults had two strips of bacon. The salmon omelet had the smallest pieces of salmon that would hardly justify the price. Overall we waited over an hour and paid $70 for poor service and worse food. Save your money and go to perkins.

Katie and PJ were so awesome – the atmosphere, drinks (Old Fashions and beers mostly) and everything we had was beautifully presented and tasted even better! Will definitely be back!

Great atmosphere! My fiance and I went on a Sunday date here. I ordered white zin and fish n chips. It came out hot and fresh. There were 2 thick fillets of fish battered with fries on the side. The fries alone are worth giving a good review. The fish had a flaky crust and fall apart meat inside, the best fish I have enjoyed in a long time. We ordered dessert too, I got a chocolate mousse cake topped with a strawberry and my fiance got their key lime pie. Both were phenomenal.
