Classy space and above average food for the area,…read morethough the prices are as much as you'd pay in some major cities, which seems quite over-priced for LaPorte. I tried the Calamari Po'Boy and Buffalo Chicken Wraps, also with side salads. The Po'Boy was good, but small-ish size and the squid was more breading than meat. The Chicken Wraps was what you'd expect; fair size and same flavor as most places. Really enjoyed the side salads which were better greens than your usual local joint, and some nice pickled onions on top with good dressings. Also tried the Steak Fondue which was disappointing. Mostly some chewy leftover steak bits in a melted cheese. The rest of the menu sounded good, but very meat and cheese focused. Not many good veg or Gf options, other than plain salads. The high prices might be justified if they got their meats and ingredients from local farms and/or grass-fed cattle, but there's little on the menu to indicate it's any different than the same Sysco Cowschwitz stuff that everyone else uses. Service was decent, and the patio is nice.

We ordered the Crab Rangoon dip, Buffalo Sprouts, Salmon Salad, Mushroom & Steak Rigatoni, and had several different cocktails. Everything was super tasty but my favorite was the Buffalo Sprouts. We will definitely return. After dinner we had a ton of leftovers, put them in my car and headed up to the rooftop bar for one more cocktail and the best views of Pine Lake by far! We ended up being there for three hours. A good time was had by all!

I had gone before for my cousins 60th birthday celebration and was thoroughly impressed. The ambience is gorgeous large paintings and portraits of famous musicians all over the walls. The owner and chef Brother John is truly amazing along with the rest of the staff. I cannot remember the name of our server, but she was so sweet very knowledgeable about the menu and specials. We started with appetizers, alligator bites, fried green tomatoes with shrimp on top loaded, french fries and more fried green tomatoes. The food was excellent. The steaks that were ordered were tender and juicy and needed no additional steaks sauce or seasoning. This is the perfect place for a little getaway. The venue sits right off of a golf course hence the name and they do have outdoor seating in the summertime and also when weather permits, but they've even recently expanded their outdoor patio and added fireplaces. Overall experience was five stars for sure more if I could give them

Prices are definitely on the higher side, but for a once-in-a-while dinner, it felt justified. The quality really matched what we paid for. We tried the filet, lobster ravioli, Caesar salad, German pretzel, stuffed mushrooms, and the Diablo pasta, and everything was well-prepared and full of flavor.

It is a small, nicely decorated, cozy restaurant in an older small building with inside seating and a couple tables-for-two outside the front door. My husband decided to order the tomato basil soup with an Italian panini, and I had a seafood (I chose shrimp) wrap. They were at the end of an extremely busy lunch and were shortstaffed, so it took a little bit to get our drinks and put our order in, but it was well worth the wait! The homemade tomato basil soup hubby ordered came out first, nice and hot, just like he liked it, and it was delicious! Hubby's Italian panini was on multigrain bread, expertly panini pressed, with a side of grilled fresh vegetables. Our waitress, who also happened to be a co-owner, was doing her best to keep up with the lunch rush; once people left, she was able to chat with us a bit, offhandedly sharing with my husband the cold cuts for the Italian sandwich are imported from Italy! It was absolutely delicious, and the addition of pesto really gave it a nice, fresh flavor. She also shared that "Fresco" is the Italian/Spanish word for "Fresh," which reflects her and her husband's focus on farm to table, quality ingredients at a reasonable price. My shrimp wrap was delicious, too; just the right combination of fresh greens, tomatoes, red onion, provolone, and balsamic vinaigrette with perfectly grilled shrimp I was excited to hear that they could offer me a gluten-free option with a homemade cassave tortilla. The side of roasted potatoes was nice and hot, with a perfect, well seasoned crust. We will definitely be back whenever we travel through town.
