   We ordered the deep fried Walleye. It was absolutely amazing! Even better than a shore lunch on the shore of a Canadian Lake!

   We ordered $50 Ribeye and Prime Rib 12oz. The Ribeye did not have a piece of meat on it that didn't have an abundance of thick grizzly fat running through it. The entire steak was inedible. The Prime Rib lacked any flavor whatsoever. Thank god the appetizer, soup, salad and baked potatoes were perfect, otherwise we would have left hungry. No, we didn't send the food back - we had evening plans and didn't have time to wait. The waitress looked a little perplexed at the amount of food left on our plates. She was stellar. Johanna was her name. Professional and on top of things. Sadly, we won't be back- it's just not the same food quality as it used to be

   We went the day after Valentine’s Day because there were no opening’s available on the 14th. Our waitress, Kinsey, was prompt and attentive. I ordered a Cherry Mash off of the “special drinks” list of the weekend. Kinsey asked how I liked it. I told her it was O.K..It was not something I would order again. She offered to replace it. I said I knew it would be something I never had and that it was ordered at my risk, not theirs. (Plus I was the designated driver limiting my alcohol intake.) My wife ordered the Surf & Turf, which she thoroughly enjoyed. I enjoyed my prime rib, done to a perfect medium. We ordered desert to take home. I ordered the carrot cake. Alas, the only thing “carrot” about it was the orange frosting piped carrot. The dry cake had absolutely no flavor, no carrot shreds, nuts, raisins, or spices. Having had had carrot cake previously at AJ’s, I was quite disappointed. Overall, the entrees and service were good. The drink issue is a matter of personal taste and preference over which a restaurant has no control. The cake on the other hand is within the control of the restaurant. We will be back

   Steaks were overcooked and of mediocre quality. Our server was very good, Olivia, but for the cost this experience was below expectations.
