This used to be one of our favorite restaurants to eat at. But the last two times we've been there…read morefor lunch, the quality of the food has really declined. I had a hamburger today that was tasteless and on a very cheap bun. My husband had a steak sandwich that had only scraps and mostly onions and peppers. This used to be a favorite of ours, but we won't be returning. It must be under new ownership.

I was leary since I've heard it wasn't as good under the new ownership. I was absolutely pleasantly…read moresurprised tonight. I ordered the burnt, chicken Marsala and chicken fettuccine. The burnt was actually better than I've ever had over the years. Everything was prepared properly and had great flavor. My only complaint is maybe the chicken was cooked on the same grill as the shrimp as it had a hint of shrimp flavor (not a favorite of mine) I'll definitely be ordering again soon!

And I loved the cranberry pecan salad we had as a starter, which made me really hopeful for the meal itself. But beyond that our experience was so disappointing. We got the lobster ravioli and the zesty pasta. I appreciated the ample veggies included with my meal, but the food was overall so bland I could have made it better at home, and that is saying something. The ambiance wasn't great, and I was overheated the entire time, to the point I was eager to leave just because it was so hot. I like to take my time with a meal, and it's a bad sign if I want to rush out of there. We probably would have stayed for more drinks but like I say, we were simply eager to leave. We wont be back unfortunately.

This is a seasonal stop for us while at the lake. I'll preface my review with saying I love…read moretraditional Italian food, so I am not a fan of their take on it. Tomato sauce is sweet, and any of the traditional preparations like piccata or Marsala have no brightness. And everything (I mean everything) has been covered in provel cheese, St Louis' answer to screwing up all things once Italian. Their signature item is charbroiled prime rib - which just basically makes it a rib eye, so if you were thinking of a Lawry's plate, don't. That said, it is tasty and well seasoned, so that became my regular order. Their house creamy Italian salad dressing is nice, so the house salad, steak and a normal size baked potato is my go-to. Service is always really great, so the sit down steak dinner makes it worth the typical 20-40 min wait during a weekend night.

I have never had a bad dish, let alone a bad meal. We've always gotten excellent service and I would offer it my very highest recommendation.

The atmosphere is really nice and cozy, which made it a great place for a birthday dinner. We ordered the Tour of Italy, Shrimp & Sausage Arrabbiata, Fried Calamari, and three cocktails: Hurricane, Blue Hawaiian, and Fruit Punch The calamari portion was HUGE -- honestly, it could easily be a full meal on its own. Everything was fresh, crispy, and delicious. I also have absolutely nothing negative to say about the Tour of Italy. Every single dish on the plate was fantastic! The Shrimp & Sausage Arrabbiata was the only thing my husband wasn't a huge fan of because it was a little too spicy for him. And the Blue Hawaiian was just perfect! Now we actually want to come back with friends and have it again. Service was just outstanding here! We also got a wonderful piece of cake as a birthday gift for my husband. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this place for a nice dinner!
