    Reuben sandwich
    Bill J.

    Food was so good the first time, we came back again for dinner. On this visit, we started out with an appetizer of fried Calamari. It was delicious... lightly dipped in batter and delicately fried. Not over cooked. It was just right. For dinner, my wife got an order of ribs which she loved, and I got the fried Walleye. My dish was cooked perfectly; it was dusted with flour and appeared to be pan fried. The fish was tender and flaky. A generous serving! The young man who served us did a great job. We will be back!

    A bowl of chicken and sausage gumbo. I ate this but managed to take a picture before I ate it all.

    I cannot believe the difference between last year Fat Tuesday, 2015 and this year 2016 Fat Tuesday. The food is FANTASTIC! Gonna throw some pix on the review. But problem has been, I keep eating it before I take the picture.

    "Ramen"

    We went New Year's Eve for dinner & I honestly feel like they owe me $70 lol the food was awful. I got a filet mignon medium with mashed potato's and I got a strip steak that was cut in half cooked GRAY and risotto? $30 dish of crap. My fiancé got "ramen" and it was supposed to have filet in it but it was the other half of the gray strip steak on top of a clump of noodles...ramen is soup...it was not soup at all. My daughter got spaghetti and meatballs and those were fine thank god. The service was bad too but idk I felt bad for the server for some reason. She didn't cook the garbage food. But she forgot or messed up half of everything. Still tipped 20% because times are hard.So we had bread and drinks and left. Another thing why wasn't there soup or salad with the entrees? We got neither. $70 wasted :(

    Very good barbecue

They should invest in a better grade of ground beef. Slices of bread were dry; sliced too soon. The server wasn't listening when I said 'gin and tonic with lemon', she brought it with lime. Her tip reflected the service from my drink to the baked potato and broccoli. And it wasn't even busy! There were three tables filled when we left. Years ago we loved the place and recommended it often. Johnny was in the kitchen serving his fabulous desserts and breads; the best chicken francese I've ever had; really good tomato sauce and meatballs, big salads loaded with vegetables. New managers came and went and are still coming and going. Too bad; it's a really nice building in a good town. Maybe things will improve with the car shows.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a cozy, welcoming ambiance that set the tone for a great evening. The service was top notch--our server Jessica was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. She knows the menu very well. What impressed us was the fact that She anticipated our needs as if she was a mind reader. Without even asking, she brought out leftover boxes for our meal. The food did not disappoint. We started off wedding soup---which was so rich in flavor and amazing. Followed by the bacon wrapped shrimp and scallops and had the Linguini Fra Diavolo and the Veal Florentine. Everything was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice and flavor. To top off our meal, we had to have a takeout of the desserts. the tiramisu and the lemon mascarpone cake (recommended by Jessica as the two top desserts) ---both were the perfect sweet ending to a delicious dinner. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area and craving authentic Italian with warm hospitality!
