    The experience was amazing; I enjoyed every bit of it. Ali (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) was fantastic, and her customer service was outstanding.

    We couldn't have asked for a better meal or experience. Our server Jess was the nicest and very attentive. We enjoyed the salmon and the walleye dinners with a side of zuppa toscana and broccolini. For dessert we shared a brownie half of Sunday. The fish dinners were incredible. The sweet corn risotto with the walleye was incredible! The ambiance here was perfect with the fireplace and hey musician playing an acoustic guitar in the background. The service is always top-notch. Their customer service is perfect and all of their team members work well together. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We cannot wait to go back!

    We went last night for my 58th birthday. Having dinner here had been a bucket list restaurant to try and it did not disappoint. Our server Jala was extraordinary! She was so knowledgable, friendly and delightful to interact with. The food was outstanding. The shrimp beignets and my salmon had so much flavor and cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed trying the absinthe service and the tableside bananas foster was the perfect ending to the evening. We never felt rushed and it definitely felt like an event. It was a lovely evening!
