Volcano sushi

The sushi was the best I've had in years. The ambiance in the restaurant matches the seafood vibes well. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Half order of Calamari Fingers
Malisa R.

Love the name! So stinking cute! Stumbled on this restaurant because my mom wanted some fresh fish. I was surprised that it was walking distance. We still drove over. The parking lot was full, which is always a good sign that the restaurant is good especially on a weeknight. Once we were seated, our server came to greet us. We started off with a 1/2 order of calamari. So good! I ordered the chubby trout which is trout stuffed with shrimp and stuffing. My mom ordered the fried perch. For dessert, we ordered a piece of cake carrot to go. Comes with ice cream too. Would go back especially if I'm in the area.

Barn theme

This was going to be my dinner spot even though my hotel has a restaurant because I like to experience local restaurants. The place is very popular because it filled up fast. The decor is like a western theme with wagon wheel lights, barn door and lots of wood. They have an outdoor patio. Small bar and a dining room. My server was very friendly and we had a nice conversation because she had family in Lake Geneva Wi. I wad order a whisky old fashioned sour forgetting I was in IN and not WI so I wasn't expecting very much but to my surprise it was very good. I would order the queen prime rib rare with mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes. The prime rib on its own was tender but bland on the dry rub probably because most of the clientele was older people. The au jus was bland once again with no big beef flavor. The creamy horseradish sauce was amazing and really delicious which made up for all the blandness. The sautéed vegetables were fresh with carrots, cauliflower, green beans and peppers. The mashed potatoes were lumpy skin on. Over it was fresh food, good drink and great service.

Signature Grilled Chicken Salad You can swap chicken for ahi tuna for an up charge. I can't do cheese, but normally it comes with cheese.

Very nice. Walkable from the hotels, but honestly a bit pricy for the area. Online has a gluten free, but otherwise no real indication for food sensitivities on menu. They are in the middle of changing their menu. The smoked prime rib is no longer smoked it is just roasted. They do mention this when you sit down, but just a heads up. Ambiance is very nice. I enjoyed it. Clean and friendly staff. You can sit at the high tops outs while you wait and they have a limited menu with full bar drinks that you can order from while you wait.

Fatty Cobra Roll

Crazy snowy night. Ordered carry out dinner to eat in the hotel room. We were feeding 3 people. The salmon was a nice piece of fish and cooked well. Mashed potatoes with coleslaw. $28 was a little steep in my opinion. My son ordered the fried perch. My daughter had a couple of good sized rolls...overall a good experience. Would like to dine in next time. The place was packed.

Wally Walley - giant fish filet with almond crust

Found this rustic old livestock barn that's been converted into a fish house, and though we picked it because it was convenient, it ended up being a great find. The fish was excellent, but the non-fish options aren't an afterthought: the chicken bacon ranch burrito was seriously good.

Walleye dinner with sweet potato fries and coleslaw.

We had such an enjoyable experience. The server was very attentive even though the time to receive our meal seemed extensive. The place was not busy when we arrived but many large parties were seated after us. The food was very good. Pretzel knots with the dips was a great appetizer for 4 adults. Walleye meal was huge! Lake perch portion was quite generous as well. Highly recommend this place. Restaurant could have been a bit cooler though.

Volcano roll
Cathy R.

Was very busy but our wait wasn't too long and our sushi boat was amazing!! We also had a very attentive server!!!

This was the sushi role that the person beside me had.  It's the Chef Gil Roll.

What a wonderful experience and a great restaurant with delicious looking sushi that I didn't eat but wonderful lake perch that I did have was great. Highly suggested.If you're in the area, check it out.

First time at Jade Garden for carry out. I only needed something simple, Vegi-fried rice…read more Pickup is at beginning, with the open space layout you can view the entire space. Typical decor you'd expect. Somewhere I'd grab a quick lunch or to hang out, if you will. I ordered 6 extra soy sauce (I like to have extras when done, they go in sauce drawer). I think the owner was slightly annoyed with the extra sauce. I guess any good artist would be, if they feel you are about to ruin a good thing! The owner kindly noted to me that the rice has a beautiful flavor from the oil that doesn't really require many additional elements. At which I replied, I like having extras. We smiled at each other, and that was about the gist of the interaction. He wasn't being nasty whatsoever, I should say. This did prompt me however, once I got home and was able to open my gift to try the rice without any soy sauce or other toppings at all, and I was very much pleasantly surprised with the taste and juiciness of the rice. It actually didn't need any soy sauce whatsoever, however, I went ahead and added a little bit too just taste. The rice itself, and its texture were perfect, and the vegetables seem to be able to keep their freshness and crispiness at the same time. All in all, to me, it was a perfect rice! And where you can do simple things excellent, surely you can accomplish more difficult things just as well. I will definitely be back, repeatedly.

I like their food, very affordable and good quality food, good service, but everytime I'm in here…read moreit just feels so icky, dirty, and grimey which makes me question if the dining and bathroom areas are this dirty and nasty what does the kitchen look like? Place doesn't need a remodel or anything but they need to give this place a DEEP clean.
