    David was an excellent server. He was personable and enjoyable to interact with. They were very busy so we had to wait a little longer to order and get our check. He gave us complimentary coffees for the wait. The food is always excellent and the menu has a wide range of prices. We had the Spicy Lobster Tots and split the Chop Chop salad. Both were excellent. My wife had the Cedar Plank salmon and I had the braised short ribs. Both were delicious. The atmosphere is high quality and comfortable. This has been one of our favorite restaurants for many years.

    Rating this restaurant is a unique experience. It is more than food, service, ambiance (all of which were 5 star), but you are also treated like family. From the minute you arrive until you leave, you interact with people who sincerely treat you like you have joined them for a family dinner. The food is superb and eclectic. The appetizers were different from others we’ve had, and at the same time delicious. The fried chicken and walleye were the best. Mixology was wonderful. We then received a historical tour of the restaurant and its family pictures. This is a special, tasty, and inviting place!
