We had a very enjoyable evening at Eighty Acres last night. Our server, Michelle is so friendly and professional. Chef. Don makes the best Walleye with Black Garlic aioli and shredded brussell sprout slaw. My husband loved the Filet Mignon that was prepared perfectly medium rare. We always enjoy after dinner drinks at the bar with Paolo. Amy is the most gracious host anywhere.

The delicious duck breast was cooked perfectly at medium rare. The fritto mistook was tender, flavorful and perfectly crisp. A bottle of 2019 Giribaldi Barolo complemented the meal beautifully.
