💔 Food: cheese curds was good. The food overall was OK - very salty. 🚷 Service was also OK. Maybe our server was going through her own personal stuff so I don’t wanna be too hard on her, but it wasn’t excellent, but it wasn’t the worst. We’re all human. You can definitely tell that our poor server was going through some thing. 💰 it’s a bit pricey here. Cost a lot to just order a chicken sandwich and a salad.

Stopped in during a hockey tournament. This restaurant was fantastic. The food was great, everything was cooked to perfection. The value of the food for the price was more than fair as I would compare the quality to much pricier places we’ve been. What I really liked was that the kids menu had something any kid would eat and was also cooked to their liking. I had the Grilled Chicken Avocado Club and it was delicious. My daughter had the kid’s steak which I expected to come out sub-par like so many other places, but I was shocked, the steak came out a perfect medium and was better than most Steakhouses. When she didn’t finish it, I did! Due to the nicer weather for a November afternoon, we were able to sit on the patio and enjoy the lake view. Overall this was a great experience and we will be coming back next time we are in town for sure. Thanks for a great experience.

The vibe is awesome both inside and outside (they have heaters on the patio). Our server, Carly, was wonderful. We ordered the dry rub chicken wings, and unfortunately they were so lackluster. The dry rub seemed to have no salt in it. Very disappointing I recommend not ordering them. The wedge salad had hardly any dressing on it, but after asking for a side to add on it was delicious. Their gluten free bread is amazing! They get it from a local bakery. It holds its shape, isn’t small, and has wonderful taste and texture. The French dip on the gf bread was delicious. They do not skimp on your portion size, even when ordering it on the gf bread which is wonderful considering most restaurants do. The French dip was also very under seasoned. We needed to add a lot of salt. The waffle fries were perfect. The seasoning wasn’t on point in the dishes, but we would definitely still come back to taste other items.

Came here for dinner for my first time & had a pretty lovely time. We chose to sit on the patio so we could watch the sun setting over the lake while we had dinner. I ordered the French onion soup & cheese curds while we waited for our dinner & both dishes didn't disappoint. I ordered one of the seasonal items for my main course, the meatloaf with mashed potatoes & mushrooms. The food was delicious, it just took a long time for our server to come check on us/put our order in but otherwise everything was perfect!
