    We ordered a variety of items to share. The Filet medallions were a nice accompaniment and done perfectly. A few pieces chilled shrimp which were perfect. The Walleye Pike is a favorite and was exceptionally done with delicate lemon butter sauce which compliments and does not overtake subtle flavor of fish. Fresh salad with fish and then the oysters were perfect. The server was efficient and competent and answered our questions with accuracy.

    Head Chef Ceasar really knows how to bring unique pairings together, both flavor and texture, that will leave you meditating over each bite. An absolute must! Top service from every staff person; from the head chef to the host to the waiting staff. Everyone takes pride in their work and it is tangible in the overall experience
