The weather couldn't have been better, making it such a beautiful evening to sit back, relax and enjoy a great meal together. We started with the Steak & Lobster Stuffed Mushrooms and WOW.....they were fantastic! Such a delicious way to start the evening. My husband ordered the 24 oz. Tomahawk Ribeye with a Brandy Mushroom Sauce, served over mashed potatoes and asparagus. He thoroughly enjoyed every bite because when he was finished, there was absolutely nothing left on the plate.....which says it all! I ordered the Scalibut, featuring Blackened Halibut and Seared Scallops served over Lobster mashed potatoes and asparagus, topped with a Lemon Parmesan sauce and Tomato basil Cruda. It did NOT disappoint! Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and the combination of the halibut, scallops, lobster mashed potatoes and sauce was absolutely delicious. Between the food, the atmosphere and getting to enjoy a beautiful evening on the rooftop with my husband, this was such a wonderful date night. We've always enjoyed Stacks but this visit was definitely one to remember. We'll absolutely be back!

It was called The Big Time Burger. And believe you me, it was named appropriately!!! High quality beef, mushrooms, onions and cheese...all cooked to perfection. I'm talking melt in your mouth goodness. But.....try the sweet potato fries and you will NEVER go back to regular french fries! The appetizers are also good, but you will need to share as the burgers are MASSIVE! The Wife had the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich with Parmesan fries. It was huge and had the best taste and flavor to it. We sat at the bar and had a drink while we waited for the food. The place was pleasantly busy and had a good vibe. This place definitely did not disappoint. The prices were reasonable and service was good as well. Great burgers, unique drink and appetizer selection, and friendly staff,( especially Julian and Eli), make this a must visit if you're anywhere near Portage, Indiana! I'm so glad that I live near this place!

The smoked sturgeon, seasoned jumbo shrimp, and minced pork belly were the top dishes here. Sturgeon isn't as common around here and stood out because of the smoky taste and freshness.

The wholesale delivery service does have wild-caught salmon for a minimal increase in cost. Like most of the wait staff in Valparaiso, attention (eye contact) is cursory and superficial, which shows that the customers are to be sold but not really appreciated as their sole income source. Eg: Dirty fork with dirty dishes between courses: "Do you want to keep that fork?" We realize that it is Indiana, but take a ride over to Gambas for some service training. It really is not about the wait staff.

I really wanted to love this place! The food was great, but the service was absolutely terrible…read more Our server never came back to refill our water, check on our food, or even bring the check. We had fries with no ketchup, ribs with no BBQ sauce or napkins, and empty cups with no refills. The server walked past our table multiple times and completely avoided eye contact. He didn't know the drink menu and went out of his way to ignore us, to the point where we honestly couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculous it was. He definitely needs more training. Super disappointing because I would have loved another martini, but our server never returned. Shoutout to the host, without her, we wouldn't have had any water at all.

We tried the spicy cowboy Philly from Big D's, the bubble tea from the adjacent business for gluten free treats, and a bunch of individual cheesecakes and everything was really good. The man working the counter at the time is one of the owners and he was patient and kind and helpful when I didn't understand why there was so many different menus. I honestly can't wait to go back.
