I was intrigued by the hot stone concept with hot stone for two you got shrimp, steak, pork and scallops and then a choice of one side of each and choice of about 5 sauces. The meat took awhile to come out maybe it was more so waiting for a stone to free up because we cooked the food ourselves so not sure about the delay. I like the concept I think only tricky thing is trying to cook all the meat and still have flavor as it can't be seasoned while on the rock. The sauces felt like they could use some work. The one called chimichurri cream tasted nothing like a chimichurri. the best way to go us probably ranch or cocktail sauce the others were a bit hit and miss which was unfortunate since the meat isn't marinated or anything. The onion rings could have used a little more crunch to them. I think for future I would just order something else but it was fun trying the stone at least once. It looks like a nice classic restaurant maybe on the older side than some of the more modern spots downtown. If you need gluten free looked like they had lots of options and there was a waffle menu too which sounded good.

Really cool place...been here a few times actually and haven't had a bad experience yet. duck Wantons are different and really good, Buffalo dip is something I haven't seen Downtown yet and was good. Haven't tried a Burger yet, even though its a "staple" of the place. Next time! Was there for March Madness and it was a fun time, wireless available and the TV's are huge. Its safe to say La Crosse has its Downtown sports bar. Pretty impressed for not being opened long. oh p.s. laughing to the guy stating you can get any of the bourbons through a spirit retailer... No Shizz Surlock. but do you have 20+ types of bourbon sitting in your kitchen? or anywhere downtown? silly read more

while having a great time at the crow, i suddenly got an ice cube CHUCKED with full force at my forehead by employees ... yes, i was dancing on a chair during saturday night prime bar time, but they could have at least used words before violence. one other employee was very understanding and agreed about the fact. if they were so worried about liability, like they had stated, then they shouldn't be throwing ice at their customers, IN ANY SITUATION. very dissatisfied with this experience. we will not be returning. read more

Food is delicious, I've eaten here twice now and both times have not been disappointed. The service is a little off. The flow of the restaurant isn't the greatest. We had to wait 15 minutes before getting a server, but after that, things ran smoother. The noise is a little out of control, but that's what you get with an open concept. I definitely couldn't take my grandma here :) Overall, I would definitely recommend this place, and I will go again. read more
