Wonderful service! Food was fantastic as always (macadamia crusted walleye, coconut shrimp special). We took home a piece of carrot cake to eat later, and it was excellent.

Second time here and still just as good as the first time. It was my husband's birthday, and they made an effort to make him feel special, sat us in our requested area, which we really appreciated. Our servers and bussers were helpful and attentive. The food was great and portions are very generous. Food can seem salty if you aren't used to consuming salt but still delicious. Drinks were affordable and made to our liking. Lights above the booth seating areas get dimmed pretty low at a certain time in the evening so it was a little hard to see my food. Otherwise service and food are top tier!

The service was fantastic and the food was good. It was a bright, lovely atmosphere. The dishes were visually beautiful. The wedge salad was tasty, and my main course was luxuriously rich. It was a fun place to laugh and enjoy the company of friends. I would come again.
