    Service was great, food was well prepared. Chef was just a little too free with the salt. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.

    Very good food and delicious cocktails. The faroe salmon was perfect and the chicken piccata was terrific.

    Really excellent cocktails and food. I hav the kale salad and it was SO GOOD. Solid Wisconsin Old Fashioned, but the turmeric ginger gin and tonic is incredible.

    Service was awesome. We let them know in advance our need to be out at 7pm to make the symphony and Sophia made sure that was done. Food was really tasty and fresh; poke appetizer and chicken piccata appetizer for us to split. Drinks were yummy…hot brandy cider and Harvest Moon with fig infused gin and wine float. Will definitely return so we can enjoy a more leisurely meal and recommend others do the same.

    My husband has celiacs disease and I posted that in my open table comments. They were aware and made it clear that my husband would be safe. My husband said that the gluten free bun was the best made bun he’d ever had. The atmosphere was amazing, it was quiet, and crowded but not so crowded that you couldn’t hear yourself speak. The food was phenomenal. Service was top notch!

    Fantastic ambience and really great food. We tried the Ratatouille Risotto, the Chicken Piccata and the Angus Fillet (in two different visits), they are all amazing. Drinks are made with their own products and are exquisite. Strongly recommend trying the Wisconsin Old Fashioned and The Midwest Margarita.
