                                          Tanto Bar and Grill is always outstanding. It is our go-to place for the most delicious fish. We love the sanddabs and the walleye. Mind you, everything on the menu is delicious, from appetizers to dessert. The staff are always helpful, but not rushing, and they watch out for allergies and accommodate. The ambiance is great, and the views are spectacular.

                                          The food was mostly excellent. I had the special and would go back again and again for the tenderloin in Molet sauce, mashed potatoes and veggies. Hoping they keep it on the menu! Scallops and the beef tip tacos were a hit with 2 in our group. Only thing that wasn’t as good was the chicken on a salad my brother ordered. He said the salad was delicious but the chicken had no flavor and it looked like it hadn’t been Mesquite grilled as worded in menu. So not sure what happened there. This restaurant is one of our favorites to bring our guests that come from all over US and will continue to be. We have had excellent meals many times over and love the atmosphere. Hostesses (thank you for the table we requested) are wonderful as well as all the wait staff. Would highly recommend!
