| - Probably a 3.5 overall, but in the mood to round down on this one. A large nicely laid out restaurant with a spacious bar in the middle and a lot of tables, and a view into the kitchen. We arrived for lunch and had a group of 9 as we were in town to take a client to lunch. The wait staff was friendly and quick to take our drink order. They asked if we had any questions on the menu and recommended items with chicken as they slow roast them over a wood fire in-house. We ordered a variety of appetizers to start off, and they all arrived together and were nice and hot, so that was a good start. The Calamari was forgettable, the Parmesan Artichoke Dip was okay, the Walleye Fingers were a standout, and the Woodfire Buffalo Wings were very good as well. A quick drop in the fryer, finished off on the grill would have been even better, but as is, they were large, flavorful and tender.
For my main course, I had the Split-Roasted Chicken with mashed potatoes and chicken gravy. I enjoyed everything thoroughly, but I think the waitstaff over hyped the chicken (or maybe I was expecting more in my mind). Don't get me wrong, it was good, tender and flavorful, but not knock my socks off great.
You may ask why the three stars, man? The one thing that threw me off was that the manager approached one of my coworkers and handed him a hand written note to call her (maybe to see about us bringing more 'clients' their for meals?!?). No business card while doing this is a bit odd, but interrupting in the middle of a conversation to pass a note was a bit bizarre and not courteous.
