Atmosphere and Food were great. Bartender at the time was top notch. Was even able to help me operate the Pull Tab Machine! How thoughtful! Will be back anytime I am around for work again.

Server came to our table 5 times for drinks and would not pause enough for us to place our food order. Got our drinks, but sever disappeared and never came back. We left after about 15 minutes of waiting. We had a limited time for lunch.

Ordered pizza, chicken wrap, and walleye sandwich. Food was good. Server kept our drinks full but it was a long time from when we sat down to when we ordered, even longer from when we ordered to when we got our food. There was live music which was fun but loud.

The most pretentious place I've ever seen! A place called "The Ritz" yet, I got a plastic fork (with one prong broken off) and a Styrofoam plate for a 20 dollar quesadilla that took 30 minutes to make...apparently. Never any parking. Never any open tables. Staff is rude and inattentive. This place sucks and I would not recommend it to anyone. Like ever. What a joke!

This was the best restaurant experience I have had in Iowa since moving here! The waitress/bartender was awesome! The food (half garbage half American pizza and hot wings) were sooo good! It's a bit pricey but worth a special occasion.

This is a super spot for the dive culture and local spirit you're looking for! - even during a busy weekend like winter games. The bartender Desi took fantastic care of our party, and with patience & enthusiasm that should be celebrated during such a high traffic time. We were very sweet and she reciprocated that energy. We will absolutely be back tomorrow thanks to her, and the atmosphere.Thanks so much for such a great night!

Busy place but good food and a view. It is open door to the dock so consider bug repellant.

Live band was a little loud for conversation but had a great time. Band had a good mix of music but the pizza is the star. Pricey but delicious, filling and top quality ingredients.

Ordered their famous “Lou Berger”, which was MAYBE an 8 oz, patti, and get this, a horribly DRY rare burger with a dry bun and soggy fries. ALSO, we ordered food, had 3 drinks because no one checked on us (this is 1 1/2 hours of sitting there), and no one cared. Never again.
