I ordered the salmon dinner and had a side of green beans, red skin potatoes and coleslaw . The salmon was dry and I could tell it was over cooked because it took forever to chew it. The green beans were ok but not seasoned and the same thing with the potatoes. The potatoes had a great crunch though. The coleslaw was dry and definitely needed more sauce. My spouse ordered the grilled chicken back club. It came with a soup. The soup was potato soup was on point and you could taste the garlic in it. Which was absolutely fine with us because we love garlic. The club sandwich was ok for the most part. Bread was toasted perfectly and man the dill pickles were amazing. But, the chicken was dry and we asked for no tomatoes but could definitely taste tomatoes for some reason. For us, we aren't sure about returning.

I ordered the rack of lamb, it was amazing! Literally like butter, no knife needed, cooked to perfection, the most tender lamb ever! The owners came by the table to greet and welcome us.

This is a gem for downtown Kalona!

The first one is the entrance. That is definitely a hazard for both staff and customers. Customers are walking directly in the path of the staff coming out with dishes. Bad design there. You can see the main entrance was ultimately closed in order to accommodate more seating. The other issue is the noise level. That was quite bad as well due to the close proximity of the tables and overall size of the restaurant. I'm sure in the summer this might not be as bad due to the patio portion of the restaurant. Neither will hinder me returning. The food is amazing!

It was supposed to be a great night; while my politics is ever-evolving, my family in Iowa had just gotten to high five Don Jr at an event which, whoever I vote for now was darn cool that day!
