We sat outside to enjoy the live jazz music. Jazzers were excellent and fun, playing a lot of classics. The audience was engaged, and the patio is huge. Hospitality. Service was friendly and accommodating. Offerings. Food and drinks were overall good. We had appetizer plate and scarfed it down. But we were too full to try desserts that seemed plentiful to pick. Of Note and Last Impressions. The loo was clean and stocked. We would come back mostly for the venue and the jazz. Nothing beats live music, dining outside, and relaxing near the river. Very cool. Would recommend.

Visited early Saturday evening for dinner…read more We had a table immediately however, the young ladies at the host stand were not professional. Passively greeted and sat us between their giggling chit chat. We were sat against the shut door that was pouring cold air. Of all the empty tables, why anyone is ever sat at that table in the winter, either doesn't care or isn't paying attention. The grime on the menus confirms the host stands needs to step up their attention to their work. The waitress was great. Very attentive. Made a mistake with a quick fix. Service could not have been better. She took our order and we scanned the room and decor. The cold draft was getting annoying but was quickly overshadowed by the group of men in the corner shouting and one kept frickin whistling in response to the raucous laughing and shouting. Where was management to ask them to tone it down a bit? Whistling! Like you're calling a dog in from the yard. Clearly he just wanted all eyes on him and their group. It was insanely inconsiderate because it went on for 20 mins. The 20 mins until they left. Idk if they were that loud before we arrived or what kicked up the volume. They weren't watching a game. They were sitting in a big circle like a group discussion. Anyway. The good was fine. Nothing special. The stuffed mushrooms came in a half moon dish on a plate with nothing on the side. It was strange but tasty enough. Salad was huge but I think they forgot the tomatoes and cucumbers. Homemade ranch really set it off. Reasonable prices and quick service. Glad to leave when we were done and warmup in the car.

They were on special for only $7.50, which was an awesome deal. There's also a nice little patio if you'd rather eat outside. Overall, this place gets an easy 5 out of 5 from me. Good food, great service, fun atmosphere, and reasonable prices. We'll definitely be back.

While the flavor of the lukewarm soup wasn't bad the crunchy, undercooked potatoes ruined the meal. I would have complained but based on the service I didn't want to prolong the visit any longer. If visiting downtown Battle Creek take the time to look for another option because I'm sure there are better options.
