Ordered bbq chicken bacon sandwich. Breast was dry and chewy. Asked waitress if anybody else ever said that and she said no. Guess mine was the only one. Had truffle fries and they were good. Will not ever order sandwich again.

Please, please, please put the Korean Beef Bulgogi on your menu. My husband had it Wednesday night and it was out of this world delicious!! I kept stealing bites from his dinner. The meat was so tender and the flavor was so unique. This dish won’t be found anywhere else in the Illinois Valley area. My dinner was also delicious. Our service was great and we really enjoyed our time in your restaurant. Did I mention how much we loved the Korean Beef Bulgogi? 😂🤤🤤

Tremendous. The kitchen really knows how to put a steak together. I love the layout as well, the whole restaurant speaks class from the time you hit the door. Lorenzo my waiter stayed on top of everything, glass never ran dry, never needed for a thing. Top shelf experience.

Pretty appalled that a restaurant that has been here so long has no changing table in either bathroom. Will not be returning.

Diamond in the boonies. A must for dinner in Lasalle county. The food was great, the grouper sandwich was cooked perfect and was large, the grilled chicken stawberry salad was perfect. My pics dont do them justice. The waitress was awesome and the place is elegant.

We have been coming here for years. This past summer something is very different. The quality of food they purchase is still the same, but the preparation is not good, You can definitely tell that something is different. I ordered a veggie burger, they have the best, but it was actually cold in the middle, the cheese wasn’t melted, the bun appeared to be taken out of the freezer and briefly thawed as it was hard and cold. My husband ordered a regular burger and it wasn’t cooked medium, it was actually rare with a cold bun. We both had mashed potatoes that were hard and lukewarm. Even though the food was a bust and we didn’t eat it, we decided to order the snickerdoodle dessert. Unfortunately, what used to be a great dessert, came out as two cold cookies with syrup on top. They used to warm the cookies up and were so good and now it is like they took them out of a bin and put them on a plate. Before our food arrived, the table next to us were talking about how their food was not good and one of them said there was a complete turnover in the kitchen and items were being prepared as a short order cook rather than upscale restaurant. We just assumed that maybe something just wasn’t cooked as requested, but unfortunately, they weren’t wrong. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all, so not sure why they just didn’t take a little more time to cook the burgers, melt the cheese on the burger and put the mashed potatoes in a microwave to at least serve them warm and warm up a couple cookies. We love this place and will try it again but hopefully whatever issues they are having in the kitchen, as we feel everyone has a learning curve, will resolve over time and with more experience the food preparation issues will resolve. Atmosphere is wonderful, although we miss the sidewalk tables, host/hostess are great and the waitstaff are phenomenal.
