I asked if they had a blue cheese dressing for the wedge salad, and the chef made up one special for me. Th focaccia bread was a great accompaniant to the dishes. Nice, quiet ambiance. Will be back.

It's not bad but not great for an event. So we went for Mother's Day. They had a special buffet…read more Pros: The prime rib was pretty good. The staff was pretty nice and we saw at least two staff working really hard. Cons: -for $48/person the buffet was mediocre -the staff just stood around mostly and joked/talked. I'm fine with this as I was a server once but when it takes 20 min to get water after requesting and you see your server standing and joking for 10 min of those 20 min it's hard to think highly of them. However, I should explain that there were two staff members that we saw that were just flying around. There were a couple more that I saw moving quickly when I saw them so they could also be really fast workers. The problem was just contrast of half the staff not being that active in service was slow. We didn't even know what to do with the buffet and payment after being seated. Overall, I don't think I probably will return at least for a while until the staff gets trained better. I get the feeling it's just that they're young. I'm just surprised as at least when I was a server. I would've been told if you have time to lean you have time to clean or to start congregating.

We come here often I love the bartender/server. Her name is Jennifer I believe or Jessica I have a…read moreterrible memory. But she's great. She always thinks of everything prompt and always has a smile on her face. She's a great server and should be recognized as such. The food is good. I like trying everything on the menu so far I've just been going down the line. I really like the New York strip with shrimp and I like having it cooked already highly recommend the French onion soup as well. This is where I like to come for a decent steak. they also have lovely mock tails and I really like that. I can get a nice beverage and doesn't have to have alcohol in it. The bar is a nice area although the patio looks like a cool spot to sit during the summer time.

I was also happy, and it wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be! He had the steak that you slice off a piece and cook it on the black rock. Delicious! I got one of the $10 meals because---ribs. The service was great! At least a once must-try! Per Rita

Latitude 42 is a restaurant and brewery. We visited the Portage location, which is a great size…read morewith a large wraparound bar. This time we just had drinks, but we've eaten here before and the food is good with a large menu. We ordered a flight. We tried Victor Blue, a blueberry ale--my husband really liked it, even though he's not usually a blueberry fan. I thought it was okay, but a bit too hoppy for my taste. This is one of my husband's favorite breweries. We also had Harvest Spice, a spiced ale with the right amount of spice--not overpowering and a great Christmas beer. Lucifer's Cuvée, a chocolate rye stout, earned a 5/5 from my husband--very flavorful. Nectar of the Goddess, a blood orange and passion fruit wheat ale, was very good as well!

I was really impressed with the entree salad. At so many places the salads are an afterthought on the menu, but not here. Chock full of fresh ingredients and exactly what I wanted.

I like my steak cooked medium and it was cooked to a true medium. The waiter told us that their cook had trained with a Michelin starred chef. It was a huge portion but it was hard to stop eating because everything tasted so good. The waiter we had was very nice and attentive and refilled my water before it even got low. It was hard to decide what to eat because there were so many options and everything is reasonably priced. I bought a salted caramel cheesecake for home and it was absolutely delicious as well. I cannot wait to return and try something different.

Both serving sizes were adequate in which I was hoping for as the majority of the menu is pricey. Most importantly, my coffee never got cold and our waitress kept tabs on us frequently while also being nice. The environment has a definite feel of a new age diner which is nice and makes for a very chill morning. Highly recommend.

Delicious but a little greasy. I had steak bites, a January feature, which were cooked perfectly at medium, and cream of mushroom soup. My husband had pizza which he said was good.

The restaurant had a nice vibe to it and had lake view which is nice too…read more The food was subpar at least for my entree. I had risotto and added salmon to it, the risotto just tasted very tomato-ey but that's because that was its based. I probably wouldn't gone that route if I knew that. I think i like it more creamier based. The fries were good and also the calamari were good. I think the appetizer was better than my actual entree. Perhaps a different entree would've worked better.
