    We enjoy brunch nearly every Sunday at Tousey and it is always delicious. If we've ever experienced any issues at all, it was very quickly taken care of. James is such a sweet and kind server. The staff is always friendly and helpful to us.

    The ambiance is so nice, I love the unique character. I think the food was really good especially for the price. Get the Harvest Salad, you will not be disappointed. 🤤

    We thought the restaurant was nice. Was looking for a little bit more of an upscale. I realize that it was casual, but there were some people dressed up others were in sweatshirts. We mentioned it was our 41st wedding anniversary, and the lady that greeted us coming in was aware of it. Our waitress was not aware of it and nothing after that. The table upstairs was extremely slanted it made you think things were falling off. I did enjoy the old time charm. I had the chicken thigh dish was phenomenal and my husband had the walleye which he said was very good. Our waitress did not acknowledge our anniversary and she did say do we want anything else but you did not offer dessert. It’s a nice restaurant and I think we will be back. Stacy

    Everything was excellent except the cod was a bit overcooked. The pork loin sandwich was fantastic and we loved the fries. Also enjoyed the Bloody Mary. The service was superb.

    A quaint brick historic house is such a pretty and cozy setting for a meal for 2 or a group. The food is fantastic. I’ve come to Tousey for years and it consistently is delightful.

    We have experienced Tousey House many times and very much enjoyed. Last night was not as great. Our service was very rushed. We ordered drinks and appetizers. Dinner was served before we were 1/2 way finished. We were asked about dessert. I said we’d like to finish our drinks and let food settle a bit. Next thing we knew check was delivered. It felt more like lunch than dinner. It will be awhile before we return.
