The service was great. The food and drinks were amazing! We had the cod and the walleye and every bite was delicious. I ordered an old fashion and it was one of the best ones I’ve had, it was made perfectly. Everything was served in a timely manner.

This was one of the best meals we have ever had! The service was amazing from the moment we sat down. We had delicious appetizers, drinks, entrees and desserts. Even our pickiest kiddo who has lots of food allergies was happy! He said he wanted to go back for every meal. If you’re heading to Minneapolis make a reservation here! And Hazelwood, if you are looking to open a new location please come to Madison, WI’

The noise level was terrible. We had to change tables due to the noise level. One if our group had noise sensitivity issues. The staff was accommodating and found us a less noisy table.
