   The crafted Italiana has an excellent fish fry. The drinks at the bar were well made. I had an espresso martini that was excellent then we went to the Christmas pop-up bar in the drinks. There were amazing and so was the decor and service highly recommend five stars.

   The food was delicious, the restaurant clean, front desk very kind. Only negative was our server was very new and it took 20 plus minutes to even get drinks. She never checked on us after receiving appetizer or food. I had to go find someone to get water. It was my husbands birthday and going out is something rare for us. It took away from the experience I wanted to give him.

   Great overall experience. View is great of the lake. Service a bit slow both times we’ve dined there. My steak was overdone but risotto was excellent. Would order again. Would definitely recommend.

   My wife and I had a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, chopped salad and a wonderful dish of broiled salmon done medium-well. This was perhaps the best tasting salmon dish we have ever eaten. We ate at the bar and and the server was very friendly. This is a gem of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

   Exceptional in every way. The Thanksgiving buffet was above all the rest that i have ever experienced. The meat section was perfectly prepared and you could cut the turkey with a fork it was si tender. An abundance of side choices that were impeccable in taste and quality. Service was very attentive, and the atmosphere pleasant. The only negative was the pumpkin pie had too much clove spice. I will be returning in the near future for the Italian food.

   Four of us decided to try this Italian restaurant. The bread service and the calamari and the salads we delicious. The pasta entrees were ok. If we go again, we will try the other items on the menu.

   I want to give this restaurant a better score than I did. Overall I actually like the restaurant, and I really want to go back. The food is pretty good, especially since there are not a lot of decent Italian places in the area. The space itself is nicely appointed and it kind of strives to be a more finer dining type place. Had there not been a band in the bar area of the restaurant, I would rate it a 4 overall. But the noise level of the band in the bar area was simply too loud. No one could talk to each other without practically yelling. To their credit, the manager and server were very nice and worked with the band to turn it down. We were then at least able to chat in normal speaking voices. But in all, I think the band (and they weren't bad by any means) just kind of lowers the whole dining experience to bar-food type experience. Maybe the band is a draw to some, but to me it was a kind of an unnecessary loud distraction. I love music and enjoy it in the background. But primary mission is to eat and commune and it was just very difficult until the manager worked to turn it down. Thanks to the very nice server and nice manager! We really appreciated your efforts!

    Great view being seated along the windows overlooking the pergola and lounge area. Marina was absolutely perfect with the service, helpfulness and friendliness! The food was perfectly portioned, plated well and served in a very timely manner. The cocktails were perfectly balanced between taste and potency. Overall an absolutely terrific dining experience worth another visit!
