    Worst service ever, had to get own drinks from bar, server brought burnt, cold food, that looked like it sat on a counter for a long time...Some of our party didn't get drinks until after food was arriving. The restaurant WASN'T BUSY, servers were busy goofing around and looking at phones not machines they took orders on. It used to be a great place to dine, We won't go back , I advise you do the same!!!!

    Expensive but worth it. Super delicious! We had four adults and two kids and everyone left happy and with very full bellies. They were out of the desserts we wanted and the appetizer (fried cheese curds) didn’t come out until our dinners also came out.
