| - Not bad. Not great. Expensive.
We went here during restaurant week and I'm so glad that's when we went, and not for the full-price menu. The restaurant week price was $30.16 per person but I think my selections would have been around $40 at regular price. Between me and my husband, we got the two squash soup, chicken and biscuit, Great Lakes walleye, bourbon bread pudding and the creme brûlée. Soup was thick, like a puree, but it was tasty. $8 is steep for a vegetarian soup though. The chicken dish was prepared well but way too oversalted, but the biscuit was flaky and buttery. The walleye itself was prepared perfectly but paired with the earthy wild rice, cauliflower and beets, I'm not sure if the flavors complimented each other very well. Too many earthy flavors took away from the fresh, flaky fish, which should have been the star of the show. The bread pudding was dry, as if it was a loaf of bread with just a drizzle of honey and cinnamon. The creme brûlée was decent, but a little too much lemon flavor. You can see the granules of vanilla bean but couldn't taste any of it with the overwhelming lemon flavor. Overall, I would come back if the prices dropped. Otherwise, it's just a bit too expensive for what you're getting.
