- TTinaWisconsin •1 review4.0Dined 6 days agoFood was very good, but a little too much batter on the fish tacos. The only drawback was our server, a bored young man who didn’t waste any personality on us, and was not very attentive. Then the appetizers came out at same time as the entree. Not ideal.More infoOrchardPrice: Moderate• Gastro Pub• Verona•4.5
