My husband and I went to Litchfield’s on Valentine’s Day for their Valentine’s special. The food was delicious and our server Justin was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. We were seated on the patio where it was nice and quiet. I did feel overdressed as everyone else seemed to be dressed casually but we enjoyed our dinner at Litchfield’s and would highly recommend.

We have been here 4 times. It was valentines so may be the reason it seemed very loud this time. I had the scallops which for $42 for 4 of these little guys seemed pricey. They were very good but served over a bed of corn on top of rice which is cheap food, so I thought maybe 6 scallops would be more fair. The burger was very good and the fish tacos were good too. I usually order the Walleye fish and chips which is always delicious. It’s the best entree on the menu. Our waitress Lexi, was superb. She made our evening delightful with her awesome personality and service. We’ll be back and I am hoping the noise level goes way down since it’s really hard to find places to enjoy a dinner out and have conversations with who you’re dining with.

Bacanora lives up to the buzz——lively, yet intimate. Casual and effortlessly cool. Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient waitstaff. Super background music that keeps the energy up but doesn’t drown conversation. And the food! We ordered elote, calabaza, and mole-crusted ribs with frijoles and cilantro salad. More than enough for the two of us, but we made room for flan. All delicious and different. And the cocktails! We had an old-fashioned-type and a classic martini-type, both with Mexican spirits. It’s worth the effort to score a reservation.

General consensus from the party were outstanding. Appetizers were next level which included the bone marrow, bluefin tartare and the king crab stuff oysters. It really set the tone for the rest of the mains. Service was great from the staff and kept the tables clear and drinks full. The only exception to the meal was some of the mains. Over cooked and undercooked steaks that appeared to have been sitting for some time. Coming from a place where we have world class steak, the inconstancy we experienced was disappointing given the prices charged and what precluded this portion of the meal which many raves about. Overall pleasure and happy to recommend.

It was amazing. Second time going, and it was just as good as the first time. The food was good drinks music, and our waitress was on point all the time.
