Incredible dining experience. 5 frickin stars (they are better than regular stars). Service was attentive and accommodating. Food came out hot and in a timely manner. We had the bone in ribeye, filet/lobster and prime rib. All cooked to perfection. Desserts came on a share platter that were moist and delicious. All of us have been talking about this meal for weeks. We personally thanked the chef afterwards. Kudos Char! You are killing it.

Stopped in for a dinner hoping to sit outside in the beautiful weather and it’s unfortunate that there’s no outdoor seating for this menu. You can sit outside for bar food. I’m sure it’s cozy in the winter if you like bad 80’s decor, plastic grapes draping over a wine rack. It looked very 80’s Olive Garden.

My wife and I had our anniversary here on January 31. It was our first time here. We made reservations in advance and was seated right away. I had the crusted cranberry walleye with sweet potatoes as my side. The food was prepared above my standards. The chef did an excellent job with the walleye! It may be spendy to some. But it is worth every penny to try. My wife and I were very pleased with the service and the amazing food. I would recommend this place to anyone. Especially fish lovers.

If you’re reading reviews just post COVID you’ll hear a mix of things. You should be aware that in the months of re-opening things are often up-in-the-air for how it’ll go down. Note, not all restaurants are open to capacity and even with openings many have half or limited staffing to support all the patrons.

Wow, just wow. We had such a great experience here. Jenny was our server and she was so friendly and genuine. Her recommendations were fantastic. We ordered crab cakes, prime rib, and walleye. We had enough leftovers for dinner the next night. We asked for the name of the chef on duty so we could complement him. Brentley, the food was amazing. Best dinner we’ve had in a long time.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I was absolutely floored with the poor quality of the steak. I requested my prime rib medium rare, and it came out completely rare. I like bloody steak, but this was…raw. Luke warm and completely pink through and through. When I got it back it wasn’t much improved, was more than half fat, and the meat was so chewy I had to spit out multiple bites from the areas I salvaged any meat at all. Four people in my party had to send their meat back, one completely over cooked. So confused, as this place seems highly regarded by many who left reviews here. Perhaps we caught the chef on a bad night!? Everything else was over salted and nothing to brag about.
