Fantastic meal, cocktails, and service. Beautiful Christmastime ambiance and decor. We live locally, so we have dined here often, but this time, at our server's suggestion, we tried 2 things we never had, which were amazing: the energizer salad and the Pacheri pasta. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Love this restaurant. Service was good, my Halibut was delicious, our guests Walleye was very good but my husband said his lamb was just OK. You can’t beat this location during the holidays they light it up beautifully plus St Joseph bluff is lite up too! Would highly recommend for any celebration or just a nice dinner.

Great anniversary dinner in a beautiful spot. We indicated an anniversary on our OpenTable reservation and there was an anniversary card signed by the staff waiting for us at our table. Nice! Our server, Ann, was outstanding. Best of all, we had a special, crab cakes with a terrific sauce.
