Great food and diverse menu to satisfy a broad range of tastes. Also very strong wine list with many Napa Valley classics along with an interesting and fun cocktail menu. Very friendly and accommodating service, especially as I was flying in from out of town and my plane was delayed They accommodated our change in timing quite seamlessly and with a smile. Definitely worth a trip!

Gracious dining at a reasonable price. My steak was not as flavorful as I expected for the price. My wife's walleye was excellent. Our server was very attentive and even brought a free slice of cheesecake since it was our anniversary. The dining area was quiet (Tuesday evening) and all in all, we had a good time.
