That said, our waitress was very pleasant, and was in many ways, the perfect waitress... She didn't badger us, but she also did not ignore us ... that is a tightrope a waitress has to walk, and our waitress appeared to be a Wallenda in the waitress world. One other minor complaint: there were three of us in our party and one of us was still eating, while the other two had finished and the waitress began to clear the plates from the two who had finished. This was slightly annoying to the two who had finished eating, but honestly, the person who was still eating didn't even notice. As for the food, which many might feel is more important than nitpicking waitress performance, let me just say that all three in our party thought the food was excellent. The blueberry pancakes were really really good!! The biscuits and gravy were also outstanding (however, it perhaps later resulted in flatulence, but even if there was a causal relationship that is of course no fault of the chef, and likely unique to the person effected) Again , well done on these homemade biscuits !!

We weren't very hungry, but even if we were, what we ordered would have filled us both. Each had a very hot bowl of French Onion Soup which was delicious. It was full- bodied, not overly salty, with a nice bread covered with very bubbly, browned cheese overall. We also split a Black and Blue Gorgonzola Cranberry salad in which the good-sized piece of steak was nicely charred, and tender, and the greens fresh and plentiful as was the cheese crumbles and bacon. What really made it delicious was the absolutely delicious balsamic vinaigrette (maybe the best I've ever had and that's saying a lot because I am a salad fanatic)! The waitress was very nice (though the other woman wasn't so friendly). The only thing that wasn't great the ambiance. The ceiling is so high and there was a table of four women who were so loud it was hard to have a conversation at our table of two, and no one else in the restaurant. The walls are very bare and the tables look like they were haphazardly arranged. But who cares much when the food is so good, and the prices exactly reasonable!.

Their special was a walleye eggs Benedict which I thought was quite interesting and *shouldn't be on the menu if it's not good, so I tried it. Certainly a mistake. Very poorly balanced.

Our waitress, Mary Ellen, was on the ball our entire meal, making sure the evening was fun. The food was wonderful, what you might expect from a fancy, cosmopolitan restaurant without the snobbiness!

A nice bonus, for like $5.00 extra, you can split an entree and each get two sides! Pretty good deal. Highly recommend.

We ordered cheesecake for dessert. It was pretty good, but not worth the $10 price tag. I usually pay $7-$8 for a cheesecake of that size. Large selection of wine and beer.
