A one-page menu with tasty food including apps, salads sandwiches and a few entrees. The wait staff was attentive and the atmosphere was comfortable.

Really nice place- drinks were great, and the food is very tasty. Very laid back atmosphere, a few TVs if you want to watch a game - we’ll certainly be back.

We came for dinner and every single thing we ate was excellent. We had corned beef croquets (holiday special), the roasted garlic ricotta dip, vegan risotto and short rib sandwich. Every aspect was well-prepared & perfectly balanced, service was excellent, atmosphere was just a standard milquetoast restaurant/bar but the food was magnificent.

If I could leave zero stars I would , friend and I went for lunch and drinks. When I say we ordered a drink. The owner told us was the sweetest drink on the menu we get them they were sour, very distasteful, didn’t even drink them, and she refused to compensate us, or simply just take the drinks off of our bill as a whole, her response was we don’t refund drinks but didn’t offer anything to make the drink better terrible customer service from her and our waitress, however, was very pleasant. Looking for a cocktail. Keep in mind they are not that good oh, at our appetizers, they never gave us silverware or plates to eat off of. We were literally eating off of napkins!!!

If you are a fan of fish and chips this is a true go to place. Instead of the traditional cod or perch they serve walleye nicely breaded and roasted. Not greasy like a lot of fish and chips might be. The french fries leave much to be desired crunchy and salty but not really tasty. Good selection of beers and great service. There was a party of eight of us and the place was so loud that you could only talk to the person next to you or across from you.

First time there. The bartender Jenna was friendly and attentive and made excellent bourbon sours. The happy hour apps are kind of small but still a good deal at $4 each. The nachos were cold but tasty. The parmesan truffle fries were delicious. We didn't try main dishes so can't comment on those. Plenty of parking in back lot.

This place is great. Came here for date night now know what to expect so here's my honest review: Food is delicious we got the roasted garlic ricotta appetizer to start and it was hands down probably one of my favorite apps I've ever had. Followed by the short rib sandwhich which was delicious and the fish and chips was different however also very good. The menu is not very big but very broad with many different things to try. We did not drink this time however they had a pretty good drink menu it did seem a little pricey (did not order anything so it could very well be worth it) but with that being said everything else on the menu is very reasonably priced. Lastly, idk if they were short staffed or not but there were three servers busting ass for entire place and they did a great job handling it. Will definitely be back again and recommend to others!

The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable and the prices were very reasonable compared to many other restaurants in the area. We came for happy hour and also ordered some entrees off the dinner menu. Everything we ordered was really tasty! I had the beet salad with salmon; it was beautifully plated and full of flavor.

Went for dinner on a Wednesday with my two kids. Got the ricotta garlic dip. It was good but would have liked more garlic. We asked for the burger without pickle and it still came with pickle. But the meat was seasoned and cooked well. Macaroni and cheese has a slight kick to it. I liked it, but be aware for smaller kids that it's actual macaroni and cheese and not boxed. The fish and chips was extremely tasty, massive portions. All in all everything was cooked well and a good value for the price.
