“‼️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️ 6/5 STARS⭐️Atmosphere = beautiful calming color scheme w/ details that catch your eye!⭐️Service = from the host to bartender & all 4 servers who waited on us. . . Over the top! Kara, our main server was warm, friendly yet professional! Love they all work as a team!⭐️Tableware = flatware removed that was not needed, unique serving pieces & fine glassware.⭐️Food Choices = nice variety w/o being "look at us doing something crazy different!" Bone marrow app was unique & delicious-accommodating to gf need for the bread.⭐️Presentation = excellent colors & perfectly plated-good eye to a clean outer plate rim in my book!⭐️Taste = everything from the mulberry sour cocktail to the flourless chocolate cake and everything in between was a hit out of the park. I'm partial to lemon & parmesan so I would have added that to the veggies that came with the chicken but was not a necessity.Cannot wait to return-thank you for bringing stellar customer service back in style with superb food as well!“

“Everything was phenomenal from beginning to end! The waitstaff was attentive but not overbearing, and our waiter in particular was so friendly and recommended the crab stuffed walleye, which was to die for! The environment was classy and intimate, yet casual enough that it felt comfortable and warm. The best part of the meal was the appetizer- the seared ahi tuna is too good for words, just trust me on this and order it! This was a great place to visit for my birthday dinner, and we definitely plan on being back.“

“I feel that this place is super good to go to eat, the food there is super good and when something runs out they put it out very quickly, the service is excellent, they serve you very quickly you ask questions like a guy. If you take children to that place they ask you how old they are and what you are going to order for drinks and well if you don't have children or they don't take you to that place they only ask you the other thing and even though the place gets very full, that's normal but from there everything is excellent.“

The lobster was fresh from the tank and very simple to pull apart.The royal surf and turf was a bit pricy, but very much worth it imo. Steak was perfectly cooked and the king crab was so tender and delicious. The oysters were a bit salty but still decent. All in all id give it a 9.5/10. Would highly recommend.“

My husband had the ravioli and dinner salad. For dessert we split a cannoli which the kitchen baked for us. It was soo good! Everything was perfectly prepared. Our server Denny was so nice and kept our food coming at the right time. If you haven't tried Noah's Ark, you should!“

“Couldn't have asked for better service considering I showed up 20 min before they closed, which might I add they closed at 9:30 on a Saturday & will discuss below. Food was delicious and hot no complaints with quantity or quality chips and salsa included. The corn shells were so fresh & warm I could have eaten the shells alone for my dinner. The seven seas soup was superb even though it contained only quarter size piece of fish. here are the few reasons I feel the need for 3 stars. First closing hrs are 9:30pm on a Sat.? Why so early?Secondly, the parking lot feels unsafe as it seems there's a lot going on with all the businesses & traffic on the property. So not family friendly in the evenings.Lastly, Environment inside was very noisy and rather busy. So not a place to wind down & have a drink at least not 20 min. before closing time (I can only base off the time I spent at the est.)The food was so good I will def. return & recommend.“
