    Fair lunch this afternoon. Pleasant lake view from my window table. I started with the French onion soup. I remembered it being better on my last visit. Rather unremarkable this time. Next I had the bacon wrapped 7oz.filet Mignon with crispy French fries. The fries were quite tasty and as crispy as advertised. The filet was perfectly cooked medium rare. Fair selection of wines by the glass. Service was adequate.

    Cora was perfectly attentive. I especially value when servers don’t just bust in while we are talking but also walk by and can tune into what we need, when we need it. Teresa the bartender was engaging, offered a creative twist on our beverage we didn’t end up preferring, and she handled it perfectly. The food was exceptional. Love the new menu. The food was not only DELICIOUS, it was also presented beautifully which also added an extra touch of class. Love the Sawyer and will keep coming back.
