    We both felt the fish was “old”. The walleye was very fishy. Fried green tomatoes were great as was the bread. Too much dressing on the salad and we don’t like that kind of lettuce.

    This is the 4th year in a row we've dined here. Started with our honeymoon, and every year on our anniversary. We drive about 2.5 hours - It's our favorite restaurant for sure. We start with some creative cocktails. Food is always outstanding as is the service. And we just LOVE the ambience. We treasure coming every year. Wish it was closer to where we live, but we'll be back again for our anniversary again next year! Highly recommend!

    Many appetizing choices available for appetizers and entrees. Portions are very good. Preparation and presentation are excellent. Love having the bread loaf and salad with raspberry vinegraitte dressing included. Our group enjoyed Expresso Filet Steak, Blackberry Pork Ribeye, Milehigh Meatloaf and Linguine with Meatballs. All very tasty and even had some leftovers to enjoy again. Carly is a great server - friendly, attentive and prompt.
