    Dining room seating is a little “cozy”. If it’s full and someone next to you had a few too many, it might be hard to hear people at your table (which isn’t necessarily the restaurant’s fault). Food was delicious but would have been better if all entrees(and not just one) were served hot. Service was excellent and drinks were great. Overall a good experience but I’d expect a little more at those prices. We’ll be back but not until fall when things aren’t so busy.

    What a gem. We golfed at Treetops and found this incredibly cool “old school fine dining” restaurant. OUTSTANDING. All 4 entrees were exceptional (Veal, Corvina special, Walleye & Perch.). Finished off with amazing chocolate cheesecake and key lime pie. Don’t forget the liquid desserts (photo.) Monica was our fantastic waitress. Do not miss this place. It is one of the best.
