We ordered the Apple Carpaccio, very tasty, and the Chicken Cutlet, which is served topped with a Caesar Salad and croutons. The cutlet itself was slightly overcooked, but still good, and the dish was very good overall. It's about a 40-minute drive for us, but we both agreed that's it's worth the trip for a unique, fun experience. Well done, Otis!

Several patio tables with umbrellas and patio chairs to lounge in, along with a line of stools at the edge of the rooftop overlooking the street for prime rooftop viewing appreciation. Loved it!

We made a reservation for 13 on a Saturday and they were ready and waiting for us. The table was prepared and two servers greeted us. The restaurant, located inside of the Springbrook Inn, is a bit difficult to describe. Comfortable with some kitsch, a bit of an upscale family restaurant with a reasonable wine list (also reasonable pricing). The menu is not extensive but hits all of the main American items: steak, seafood, pasta, soup and salad. All of the mains were served with mixed vegetables (zucchini, onion, pepper or sans pepper for me as requested) and a potato (which included rice in the category). We did have two vegetarians in the group and the grill was not very vegetarian friendly. They did offer a stuffed red pepper, which luckily both ordered and enjoyed. The rest of the group had a large variety: cajun pasta, steaks, shrimp, perch and my order of ribs. The cajun pasta had a good flavor and was not at all spicy (this could be a good or bad thing depending on your preferences). The only complaint was that only a lone shrimp was found in the dish (the menu did say shrimp, which while suggesting a plural, was not). Overall everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the ribs as was a bit disappointed. The meat was tender but severely over sauced. I also found the sauce to be average. I did really like the sauteed veggies. I would not agree with the other reviews that the food is outstanding. I felt it was good to above average, depending on the item. The service was five stars. Both servers were friendly and engaging, refilling promptly and were responsive in their check ins. My four stars are based on an overall good experience and the service certainly orchestrated this.

As mentioned in my first review last year, the decor is beautiful. No fighting to get the usually more comfortable booth seats, their freestanding chairs are well padded and equally comfortable! We both ordered the featured special that evening, Halibut Picatta with linguini pasta topped with shitake mushrooms. We split a salad, each plate was a generous serving (even as a split). The salad I ordered before and it was just delicious with pine nuts and balsamic vinaigrette. It certainly did not disappoint! The Halibut Picatta was out of this world, with just the right amount of lemon inspired sauce with capers. The linguine was delicious, it was a little sticky, but I overlooked it given the whole balance and deliciousness of the meal. Our server Savannah was excellent. My friend and I had a little issue with the wine, it needed to be returned. She was very gracious, brought out a small sampler of a different selection, a Pino Grigio before filling our glasses. We brought a special small Birthday cake for our celebration. They had the cake dressed and candles burning away delivered to our table. Thank you Savannah for making our celebration and our evening joyful and just perfect! The food and experience was even better than the last time I was here with my husband in October. We most certainly will be coming back, probably several times this summer!

Walls were…read morecovered in very well-worn carpet, the place was almost too dim to see in (in the afternoon), the beer selection was very poor. I think I had a Blatz. I didn't order food--I could do just as well eating something off the sidewalk, I thought. Inspired by the good reviews here, I went back this week. What a change! New wood paneling on the walls, a very clean atmosphere overall with lots of natural light. And good craft beers. I ordered the chicken-bacon-ranch salad and was impressed. Lettuce was fresh and finely cut, meat was tender and generously portioned, with enough bacon to provide an accent but not dominate the salad. Salads at small bar-and-grill operations are sometimes a dicey bet, but Mio Saloon nailed it. Don't get me wrong--this place hasn't been yuppified. It's still a down to earth small town bar catering to a biker clientele. It also seems to be a spot where locals just meet to have lunch and chat, dragging the kids along. The vibe might be different at night. I get up to Mio a few times a year, and I plan to find out next time I do.
