We did not care for the special (Walleye), but now we know to stick with the tried and true! Also, since the restaraunt was extremely busy, we did not have a good table...overlooked the entrance to the kitchen :( Our server was good.

Our server was probably one of the best I have had since Covid. She was attentive without being intrusive. Plates were removed promptly. Drinks were always filled. The atmosphere was lovely for the holidays. Food was excellent. We then walked to the Palladium and it was maybe a 15 minute walk. Great to get our food settled. Highly recommend.
