    The outdoor area has a beautiful view of the golf course and was a lovely setting. The food (the filet and Onion Crusted Walleye) were amazing! It’s pricey, but it was a special dinner. They even brought out a dessert for my daughter’s birthday.

    Great food. Outdoor area was beautiful! We enjoyed dinner a lot! I loved the Rigatoni although it might be a little spicy for some palates, it was just what I needed!

    Service or lack of, detracted from the experience. Ashley literally made no eye contact…Threw dessert menu on table before we were finished…threw receipt onto table… just a bad experience all around, though food was okay, it wasn’t as good as we remembered from our several visits last fall and I doubt we will return now.

    Walleye and Harvest salad is excellent. Food comes out fast so if you want a slower pace hold your order until you finish your appetizers. Meals are always hot and delicious.

    We had a large salad, the corn chowder, vegetarian relleno and a Reuben. We took half of it home. So if you’re not into sharing and carrying, think about the smaller portions.
