“ The food was excellent. They have a nice whiskey collection. Definitely try the cheese curds! ”
“ It has a very classic "up north" feel while still being modern. Even for how open the dining area is, the noise level wasn't too bad. There were lots of gluten-free dishes and even more that could be prepared gluten-free upon request. There is a wide variety of very tasty and elegant dishes on the menu as well. Huge full bar that is beautifully designed and lots of local offerings too. Highly recommend! ”

“ Their Reuben sandwich was probably the best I've ever had, seriously... It was massive! Sorry, I ate the first half of my sandwich before I thought to take a picture and leave a review. Once I took the first bite I couldn't put it down lol. They make all the ingredients that go into it in house I found out. Highly impressed. Their fries were awesome too. Service was great as well. Cool place, and great atmosphere were just a bonus. Coming back for sure. ”
“ We came up from the cities to celebrate my 60th birthday! We choose this restaurant for its rating and close proximity to where we were staying. I had the pleasure of enjoying an incredible meal that exceeded all expectations. The ribeye steak was cooked to absolute perfection, delivering a juicy, flavorful experience with each bite. The sear on the outside was perfect, while the inside remained tender and bursting with flavor. Paired with the steak were perfectly cooked asparagus—crisp and not overdone—adding a refreshing crunch to the plate. The mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of seasoning. All in all, a truly satisfying meal that left me wanting more. Highly recommend! ”
