Booked the last booking slot at 4:30pm for early Thanksgiving dinner. Restaurant was understandably quiet, and service was excellent. Wait times were short and drinks were great. Dinner was a choice of set menu or limited selections from the a la carte menu. Food was just ok, plating looking like something my grandmother would, just dumped on the plate. Set menu at $75 for a soup or salad, prime rib or turkey dinner, and choice of carrot cake or pumpkin pie, was overpriced.

As my husband was getting sat down, the hostess asked him if we were celebrating anything special… which he did mentioned it was our 10 year anniversary, even though I personally put it down when I made the reservation… Chris our server didn’t even acknowledge it, nor did the manager who ran our food… so explain to me why the host bothered asking and didn’t pass the message around… I wasn’t expecting anything free but at least some kind of acknowledgement…. Anyways driving from Gurnee to Milwaukee for this mediocre dinner? First and last time there… food is just okay, you better off picking another place for the same price range

Bruschetta -- spicy tuna and buratta -- was delicious. Calamari should have been tasty too but was way overdone. Shared a burger, and it was outstanding -- caramelized onions, tomato jam, cheese, and a perfectly done burger, who could ask for more? We'll be back.

We went here for one of my best friend’s bachelorette party and we loved it! The ambiance was great, it was everything we were looking for, and the food was filling! 10/10 would recommend.
