My friends who had the walleye were delighted. The harvest pizza was delicious, though l would have liked a little more of the toppings...the beets and squash. Our server, Ari, was amazing! She was fun and very helpful. She gets 7 stars! We will be back.

Wait staff was amazing and food was great. It was difficult to get room service, but this may have been an off season issue. Otherwise, great people and food!
