we came for a Valentines dinner with friends. Our server was excellent. We had a lot of laughs. The food was excellent. The only thing was I requested to switch my potatoes for rice or risotto and I ended up with potatoes. They were still delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

The food was amazing. For drinks we got coffee, a blackberry porter and a house made lemonade. We started with fresh oysters; they were delicious and came with 3 tasty sauces. I got the bison short ribs. The server catered to my dietary restrictions professionally and were very knowledgeable about the menu items. The table also got the walleye, the pistachio crusted arctic char and the stuffed chicken. Everyone loved their meals. The server was friendly and there was a man helping that was super funny and kind. We will absolutely be back.
