My wife, mom and nieces enjoyed dinner here last night and I have to say in 56 years of life it was top 3 of all time. Our waiter, Adam, was the best server I’ve ever experienced and the food was absolutely top notch. I had lobster bisque which was the best I’d ever had along with the JD cut of prime rib that was mouthwatering and fantastic. My wife had the walleye special that was also tremendous. The prices might seem a little high but I have to say the level of quality, serving size and service is outstanding. Keep up the great work!!

It's a beautiful yet casual setting with great service and amazing food. So many delicious sounding things are on the menu, so it was tough to choose. Went with the halibut and was not disappointed. Cooked perfectly and beautifully seasoned. The roasted potatoes were the perfect complement.

They had an acoustic band playing during dinner, and, unfortunately, they were not very good, which impacted the overall enjoyment of the meal.

Pretty good experience, inconsistent quality of food. Wait staff was pleasant, atmosphere was upscale.

I got the pork chops, overcooked and bland. My girlfriend got some salmon pasta thing that was quite good.
I'd expect better for the price but it was serviceable.
My guess is that some dishes are quite good, just not everything, so be careful what you choose.

Had a terrible experience on 2/15. Reservation at 6:15, we got seated at 6:05 (party of 3). Ordered our food by 6:25. We did not get our entres until 7:35. Waitress came over once to apologize and said “a lot of orders must have been put in at once” and offered more bread and said food would be out soon. We didn’t get it for another 30 minutes. 3 tables around us showed up 30-40 minutes after us and got their meals before we did. We were ready to ask to just pay for our drinks and appetizer and go, but our waitress never returned till she brought the food. We asked for the check next time our waitress came around. We were looking forward to trying one of their Valentine’s desserts but we didn’t even bother and the waitress didn’t even ask about dessert when we asked for the check.

We also ordered a kids mac n cheese and we’re pretty sure we got the adult meal because it had chicken and bacon bits in it, and it was as big as my pasta dish. Kid didn’t eat it because of the chicken and bacon in it.

Overall, extremely disappointed with the service here. Food was good, but with hardly getting checked on, barely receiving an apology for the wait, and of course the wait itself, we don’t plan on returning.

Good ambience. Loved the basket of bread with butter. Food was great, crab cake and southern fried chicken is highly recommended!

The meal had highs and lows. The waitress was very nice. The 2 highlights were the bacon wrapped dates and the cheesecake. My prime rib was not very tender and arrived to the table before I was halfway done with my salad. By the time I finished my salad my main dish wash cold. Before I finished trying to eat the prime rib it was so cold the grease in my ajus had solidified on top of it. Overall not worth the money in my opinion.

The food is on the expensive side of reasonable for this type of restaurant. 3 people $200. The French onion soup was luke warm with the cheese not melted. My prime rib was literally cold. My son enjoyed his blackened fish and my wife thought her filet was under. Overall there are better steaks in town for the same or less money.
