Disappointed that the manager/ owner couldn’t oblige and wear a mask like the law states. The vallet didn’t have any concern for COVID either. Simple things like wearing a mask and showing concern for fellow citizens should be a no brainer. Didn’t feel entirely safe because of the lack of concern. Food was good but you wonder where the priorities are.

My families favorite restaurant in the Milwaukee area. Known for their Prime Rib, ands it's phenomenal, everything else on menu is extremely delicious. The service staff is wonderful, friendly and go out of their way to make sure you're taken care of. The owners are always there to greet you like an old friend. I pray that people support this business, as well as every other family owned business during this Covid nonsense.
