    Mussels in curry broth with squash
    Ivonne N.

    One of the most unique menus in Northeastern Iowa. The fall menu did not disappoint. Mussels in curry broth for a starter. Tonight special Salmon with cilantro pesto, quinoa salad, green beans and roasted cherry tomatoes, amazing. The other dish, Duck confit with fettuccine, another star. The service is magnificent. The place is small, so make a reservation. Vegetarian item(s) available.

    Duck breast. WOW. Skin was crispy while the inside was pink which to me is perfect. Risotto was solid too

    Elite meal. Drink prices are very reasonable and there is good variety. Recommendations were spot on.we had the Flat iron steak and duck breast. Got a side of broccoli to go with the duck and it was really good. Good amount of seasoning and it was crunchy. Everything was cooked perfectly Duck breast. WOW. Skin was crispy while the inside was pink which to me is perfect. Risotto that came with it was solid too Will be coming here every other week if not more

    Ham and cheese with Hungarian mushroom soup - the soup was sooo good!

    We enjoyed our lunch here! It was good! One the top places to eat in the area from what I heard from many. The atmosphere is inviting. I believe they try to keep it local and the menu is smaller to keep it on point :) We would go back and try their supper if we are back in that area.

    Great food, artfully crafted and served in an atmosphere of a small french bistro. I've been twice while in town and will return again.

My mom said that if was totally my vibe and boy was she right. After winding down some gravel roads outside of Decorah we came across this restaurant that looks more like a cabin. It's cozy with limited tables inside and a beautiful patio space with Christmas lights, gorgeous views of the woods surrounding the property, and heaters for when it gets chilly. They had a great cocktail list with seasonal offerings and a food menu that made it difficult to choose what to order. Everything sounded good and we finally decided that we had to go with the surf and turf because I love shrimp, but heard how amazing the steaks are. We had these amazing little eggrolls with a sweet chili sauce and I loved the French onion soup. It's no wonder this restaurant ranked number one in five different categories this year by OpenTable for Iowa. If I could give you a couple of recommendations based off of my experience, it would be to make sure you have a reservation because it fills up and if you enjoy red meat, you have to get a steak. This 4 ounce fillet had me wishing that I had opted for the ribeye instead just because I wanted more.

While not always on the menu, ask for a raspberry lemon drop and you won't regret it. The BEST one I've ever had. I will be begging the bartenders to teach me their ways before they close their doors. This is our top choice in town to celebrate accomplishments and achievements. The tavern and patio offer a more casual ambiance, while the restaurant itself is chic and has an element of more formality. The staff is always ALWAYS incredible and thoughtful. The food is always on point, interesting, and flavorful.

We were so fortunate that they were able to seat us on the outdoor patio facing the water. This restaurant isn't just great for the views--the food and drinks here were phenomenal as well. Our appetizers of beer-battered cheese curds and mussels were so flavorful and hit the spot. We also loved our fish tacos and linguini with scallops (I absolutely loved the crushed red pepper that came with it too!). Our food all paired nicely with their extensive cocktail/drinks menu, which included many different breweries and distilleries. This is one of those restaurants you'll remember visiting forever--definitely come visit if you can!
