    Jamie was our server and his attentiveness and personal touch were outstanding. Food was first-rate: orders included walleye with a sensational crust, linguini di mare, roasted cauliflower. Dessert menu was impressive but we were too full! High marks all around.

    Excellent Food, excellent service and was pleasantly surprised by the GF options. My only complaint would be the noise level.

    Wonderful food and service. I thought portions were a tad light for the price but food was very delicious. And a beautiful, classy interior.

    The food was great, but the service was even better. The front of house team here is exceptional. My partner and I will definitely be back for specials occasions or just “treat yourself” days.
