Amazing atmosphere and great happy hour options. The cheese curds with hot honey and the crispy fries were delicious. Service was a bit slow and could be more attentive, but overall the food made it a good experience.

Everything was delicious! We especially liked the cheese curds and the happy hour deals even on a Saturday!

Fun environment. Interesting menu. We were there early so I am sure it would have been loud when the place was more full.

Food was good for those that have no allergies. Wry few gluten free and vegetarian options. Great bar
My husband and I first met here on our date and We got married today, so it's only right to celebrate and have brunch right after. They surprised us with a whole bottle of champagne 🍾. Food and service was excellent too! Thank you again for such a wonderful experience.

This has been a favorite restaurant of mine. Last night I received the worst service I've ever had going there. I don't know if I will return.
Great atmosphere. Great service - Annika was fantastic. Food was very good and well- priced.
Arrival feels cheerful with true Midwestern warmth
Everything was just alright. The service was alright, no complaints there. The food was alright, it just wasn't that flavorful. The cheese curds were pretty good though.

We went for date night special. They were out of one app, the substitution was a poor corn soup or a corn bread. Soup was lackluster and under seasoned.
We ordered steak au poivre for an upcharge med rare and were served a grilled, half pepper crusted steak about med well with a salsa-esque green peppercorn sauce (admittedly the sauce was stated in description). The steak was tough, almost unchewable and did not seem even close to filet. I ate less than half and the rest was taken away without a comment or question about quality or if we enjoyed it.
Our server rarely checked in and never asked how our food was throughout dinner. The spinach side was OK. Beignets for desert were simple fried dough, not quite beignets but tasted solid.
I understand it was a date night deal but the food was very disappointing, service was subpar, and overall was a bad experience. I've had good food here in the past but would not recommend and would struggle to return.

Waiter no where to be found. Food took 45+ minutes and never came. We left before getting it. Said food was being plated 2 separate times. Go somewhere else
The food and drinks were excellent. Unfortunately it started to rain partway through. When we made the reservation, we were told they couldn't guarantee inside seating as we reserved an outdoor table so we knew this could be a potential outcome. However when it started raining, there were plenty of open tables inside. We were surprised we and the one other table still outside couldn't be moved.
Restaurant layout is a bit eclectic. Sat in the far end of the bar, where I noticed quite the weird collection of things along the window, but that's character. Service at the bar was amazing, excited but not overbearing bartenders who were not afraid to hold back drinks they did not feel weren't to their standard.
