The restaurant was quiet , walleye was excellent and the sides were perfectly prepared. Our servers were attentive but not overly so . Except for the price ( and unexpected upcharge for a name vodka we didn’t request) it was a lovely evening.

Ambiance was nice and service was very good. My steak was done medium rare vs medium well as I asked. For the price, I expected to come away impressed by the meal but felt it was average. The wine we chose was very good however.

Excellent food and service. The filet was cooked to perfection! The walleye was also very good as was the presentation. My husband loved the French onion soup! I loved the popovers too! We did not order the shareable but they were generous sized. Our service was exceptional.Even though they are a bit pricey we would go back.
