"We came in to the bar last night and Carsten was our bartender. We had some fried pickles which were great but just a bit cold. Carsten was amazing! Very conversational and kept the drinks coming! 9/10"
Theo Ryan
"I ordered the walleye dinner ($32), which comes with garlic mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables (zucchini, onion, etc...). I requested the potatoes be substituted with the mac & cheese. They gave me potatoes, and no vegetables. The fish was awful and tasteless. I've eaten walleye since I was a child, and this is by far, the worst I've ever had! I was only able to stomach 2 small bites. Pretty sure the fish was frozen, and not fresh. I requested tartar sauce...apparently they only have tartar sauce with their Friday fish fry. I was only able to eat the mac & cheese, but only after I picked out the overcooked/sharp bacon pieces. I tried a couple small bites of the potatoes...nothing special, not much flavor.
My husband ordered the prime rib ($40), but they only have packets of Heinz horseradish sauce...TACKY, especially for the price! I tried some of his veggies...overcooked/mushy.
Our server was very nice, but VERY inattentive.
The manager came to our table at the end of our meal. He apologized, but only offered me a complimentary dessert. Not even a portion of my meal was comped.
The salad was delicious, and 10/10 to the bartender. The mac & cheese was delicious, once I got past the bacon.
There is a LOT of room for improvement here! You can do better, and you need to!
We won't be back. Am also not happy about paying $96 for one of the worst meals I've ever had, with service to match."

"Overall lackluster. Boneless wings were over fried, soggy and a mix of very chewy and somewhat tender. Seasonal salad was 60% inedible with wilted greens, dried out feta and canned pears.
The server was good but otherwise the experience was disappointing."
