The service was very friendly, albeit a bit slow. The pace was easily forgiven because our server definitely played along and had a lovely personality. The drinks were nice, but the food was even better. We enjoyed the brussels sprouts, baguette with honey butter and pesto butter, apple salad, the walleye, the Wagyu steak, the bison pot roast, and the New York strip. In particular, the walleye was delicious, the Budino was decadent, and the Wagyu steak was prepared perfectly.

The olive oil cake for $14 is nothing special. I've had better box cakes. They make their old fashioned with small ice cubes unless YOU REQUEST a large one. Large ice cube should be the go to as that is what makes the drink good. Way overpriced for what you get. Go to Ingredients restaurant in town. Much better food and experience.

I still lost things in my pot but they still tasted good even after cooking for 30 minutes! There are an impressive number meat, vegetable, seafood, tofu and other items that can be cooked in the hot pot or on the grill. And they are delivered by robot! The marinated meats are great. I also got a lot of vegetables from the salad bar to cook in the hot pot, which are a great complement to the grilled meats. The fruit on the salad bar was surprisingly ripe, even out of season. Creating your own sauce is also fun. I happened to go within 3 days of my birthday, so my meal was free. Amazing birthday deal!

As a vegan-leaning pescatarian, there were plenty of options- including several tofu styles. It's all you can eat, with a plot twist- if you take food you don't ear you may end up paying extra, which makes sense. There are plenty of sauces, sides and a few desserts all included. so much to eat- bring your appetite. It's a great place for a group -and at least when we were there the birthday girl or boy gets to eat free if there are two other adults with you. Enjoyable and tasty spot for a big meal.

There were a great variety of delicious sushi, Chinese and southeast Asian dishes, enough to please everyone in your groups palette. The restaurant is really busy, we also saw lots of food order pick up's. The service was great even for our party of 10, which we called ahead and made reservations for. We had the pleasure of meeting the 2 brothers that owned the restaurant, Teng Ly who is the chef & Futchy Ly who is the sushi chef. They are really great, hard working & wonderful people! The portions are pretty big so pricing is fair. The entree's are served family style. The flavors of the food were big and on point and you will go home stuffed. We ordered a lot more entrees but the food was so delicious, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of them before they got devoured! Everything was perfect, our party was pleased. We will definitely be stopping in every time we can, when we are in town.

Could use more veggies though, but this is based on personal preference Space is small but fits a big family if you're planning to visit! Service was quick and will be back again

We had the spinach salad, so good and fresh green beans. The bread was good a little tough on the outside but inside was soft and warm. Our server was prompt and efficient. At the end of our meal I asked her if they did anything...yes she brought him a nice size piece of vanilla cake with buttercream frosting and whip cream with raspberry, it was so good, he loved it. He did not notice when I had asked her about deserts. How did she know my birthday. Lol Ambiance was good, a little dark for my eyes to read the menu. But that's just my old eyes. Will eat here again. You generally need a reservation, because they seem to be busy all the time they are open.

We…read moremanaged to grab an early reservation at the time we wanted, but when we arrived, the staff couldn't find our names in the system. That's when we realized we had accidentally booked at their Lakeville location. Thankfully, they were still able to seat us, which we really appreciated. Our server, Asia, was fantastic, very attentive and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The menu is definitely focused on steak and seafood, so if that's not your thing the options are limited, but that was fine with us. The decor stood out to me, especially the old-style photos of cattle on hooks, which gave the place a unique touch since it's a steakhouse. For appetizers, we ordered the Cajun walleye strips, which were fresh and full of flavor. My wife went with the petite filet mignon, while I tried the crab-stuffed Atlantic salmon. Both dishes were excellent, and everything came out hot and well prepared. The booths were comfortable, the vibe was relaxed but upscale, and the overall atmosphere made it feel perfect for a date night. As for dress, I saw a mix of casual and business casual outfits from other guests. Since it's more of a fine dining spot, we were both dress casual, we normally do business to dress casual when we choose fine dining. The restaurant is easy to get to, right off 35E and Little Canada Road, just minutes from Hwy 36 and 694. Parking is a little tight, so I'd recommend arriving early to grab a spot. Overall, between the service, food, and atmosphere, we had a wonderful evening here and will definitely be back.

Appetizer: - Breaded Mushrooms w/ Wasabi Mayo dipping sauce…read more($8). The Breaded Mushrooms are very large, beer battered that creates a thin crunchy shell. Yet, the Wasabi Mayo sauce doesn't complement very well--and if you leave the mushrooms for more than 15 minutes or so, they become soft as the frying oil settles. They're good. Entree: - Steak Dinner w/ Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Garlic Bread, and choice of a side (I chose Asparagus) for $22. First, the Asparagus was thick, seasoned well, crunchy, and perfect. I could eat a plate of them! They proudly proclaim all steaks are from Creekstone Steaks Black Angus. I've never heard of them, but my medium rare 8 oz. NY Strip was chewy and a lacked some marbling which made it dry. The steak should really use a good salting and coarse ground pepper coat before cooking. The steak was cooked a minute past perfect medium rare, but close enough. Still, I NEVER use Steak Sauce, but I did add some Bulliard's Steak Sauce that was on the table. Not really impressed with the steak's pre-cook seasoning. Steak Sauce: Bulliard's Steak Sauce is similar to A1 Steak Sauce, but more Smokey and less acidic. Service: Prompt, friendly, efficient, and attentive. Great! Ambiance: It's a HUGE place with many booths, tables, and seats at the bar. The Bad: their signage outside on the building is not lit, so at night, you may miss it (it's next door to a Sushi place that does have outdoor signage that is lit. Overall: I would say the experience was middle of the road. Affordable prices, plenty of food, but nothing stellar. I may visit again and try something else--and will ABSOLUTELY order the Asparagus!

The drinks were great, especially the flirtini raspberry cocktail which came with a shaker and a champagne back. The Bull Bites were perfect for sharing, and the blackened medallions are a solid entrée option. Good spot for drinks, snacks, and ambiance. The only small downside: the rooftop can get quite crowded and noisy when busy, so it's best for drinks or snacks rather than a relaxing dinner.

The owner runs around taking your orders and making sure everybody is happy. This woman knows how to run a restaurant. The servers were fantastic. We started with the tacos for an appetizer. They were an explosion of deliciousness. I had blackened walleye, which was a special for the evening on a bed of creamed spinach with a mound of delicious mashed potatoes covered with a tomato confit. Unbelievable! My cousin got the pork chop with stir fried noodles and veggies, and it was amazing. We had flourless chocolate cake with coconut ice cream and blueberries for dessert. Their wine list is one of the best I've ever seen. I asked the owner to just pick me something white from Italy and she did not disappoint. I can't wait to come back when I visit in August and I will be working my way through the rest of the menu. There was even music and it was a Monday night. I'm sure this place is packed on the weekends. If you like unique , full of flavor food and great ingredients give it a try.
