   Wonderful experience, food was really good, never felt rushed through courses. Our waitress Krissondra was very knowledgeable and recommended menu selections. Overall a great experience and will return and recommend to others.

   I had made reservations and we inadvertently arrived more than an hour early due to forgetting about the restaurant being on CST and us living in EST. They seates us without delay. The kitchen got the cook temperature on my wife's steak wrong initially. After that was corrected everything was awesome. The service is great and the food is very good.

   First time there and won't be returning. Dinner prices were very high which does not include a soup or salad. My fried chicken was very good. My husband said his burger was mediocre at best. Our waitress had way too many tables to provide a pleasant dining experience. We were celebrating my birthday and we decided we would never return. The prices are simply not conducive to other fine dining in Lake County, Indiana.

   A few years ago we visited this restaurant & all the food was so delicious we couldn’t finish it all or choose what to eat on our plates. We were excited to go back! Unfortunately this experience was less than subpar. Our server was was gracious & sweet. The water, tea had a different, distinct taste to it, I would not drink. We ordered the cheese curds for an appetizer thinking, THIS would be the place to have amazing cheese curds right? Absolutely not!! They were not full of cheese, it was a greasy puff of air & a little cheese. The grease even collected at the bottom of the cone it was served in, onto the table. We ate half & told the server she could take the rest back-waste of $14. The brussel sprouts were the best part of the entire meal. They were indeed fantastic, light crispy, a honey flavor on them & a very good portion. The chicken sandwich was disappointing, it was a breaded chicken patty on a bun. That’s it. No pickles, toppings etc. I had to use some sort of dip to eat it. The brisket sandwich was half fat. French fries were actually potato skins-unflavored. Most of the entrees do not come with a side, it must be purchased separately. Looking at the menu of steak choices, I’m certainly glad I did not spend that kind of money. ($50-$130-not including any sides) knowing how subpar the food actually is. So all together, 1 drink, 1 appetizer, 2 meals, with a total of $80. This was one trip that won’t be repeated.

   The food was fantastic. The service was great. The prices were extremely reasonable. The quality if the fiod was excellent. The room was very bright but that seemed to be by design. It was great for families. The pickiest eater in my clan ate her entire burger and loved the French fries. For context this is extremely high praise from a young lady that turns down hot dogs and mac n cheese if it's not specific brands.

    Flavor of all our food was great. But… our mashed potatoes were room temperature and our pork chop was beyond well done. We had a hard time cutting and chewing it. We did tell our server and we were given a dessert on the house, but we were so bummed with the main entree.
