We’ve eaten here a number of times and this time was somewhat disappointing. The old fashioned was phenomenal. We tried the clothesline bacon and found it too fatty. My husband ordered the ribeye and it was overcooked to medium well. In hindsight, he thinks that may he may have been served the wrong steak altogether because the crust was wrong as well. The food took a very long time to come out. Very disappointing. They had a large party on the enclosed patio so it seems like they were maybe over taxed and not at their best this night. We would still return and give them another chance. Most of the time we’ve enjoyed it

Came here to dine on Saturday night. We started with the clothesline bacon and the ricotta. Even though we had extra bread, there was still way too much cheese for the bread. As such, we wound up with almost 1/3 of the cheese remaining uneaten. I had the shrimp and grits and my fiance had the walleye. Both had great taste. The sauce on the shrimp and grits made the grits soupy and hard to eat with the fork provided. The service could be improved. We ordered drinks which arrived after about five minutes. We put in our appetizer order and then sat and waited for quite a while with no acknowledgement from our server. Once the appetizers arrived our server finally came by and took our entree orders. My drink also sat empty for a while and I was never asked if I wanted another. One other thing of note. We were in the back of the restaurant near the mens restroom. It was so cold in the area. We were chilly and overheard other tables mentioning how cold it was in there. Overall the food was delicious. I can definitely see us returning in the future.

Hidden gem with flavorful seasonal menu. Small plates and large plate options. We split two small plates (cauliflower and crostini), a salad and one large plate (slow cooked ribs). Plenty of food and each dish fill off interesting flavors.
