What a shame, our favorite La Crosse restaurant has changed to a "steak forward" eatery, and prices have gone through the roof! No wonder we were the only people in the main dining area during prime time on a Friday night. Nine cuts of steak are offered, all but one are $50 - $90 each(!), with -nothing- else included! Just a twice baked potato and vegetables will add $24 to your dinner tab, and Mushrooms and carmelized onions on your steak will add another $10! There...read full review

Outstanding service from Grace. She made sure everything was perfect. Food was amazing. Devils on Horseback for app, pear salad and Italian soup, day boat scallops, spicy pasta with colossal shrimp and creme brûlée for dessert. All were fabulous.

We stopped on for dinner a few nights ago while in town. We were sat in the lounge and had a fabulous dinner. There was an older gentleman walking around asking how the meal was. He stopped and talked to my daughter and he was so kind! He even asked if he could get her a dessert which just made her night. Thank you for making our girls day, it is so nice to go somewhere where kids are noticed. We will be back!!
