| - It's really unfortunate because I had high hopes based on prior reviews, and maybe it was just a sloppy uncharacteristic night. But I won't be going back after such a disappointing night.
I ordered the Walleye, and the flavor profile was spot on. The combination of ingredients were well-complementing, it should have been a great dish. But from the instant the plate was presented, it was 'off.' There was a clear lack of attention to detail: the pieces of fish were falling apart and looked like it was sliced (if you could even call that slicing) by a kid with 2 left hands. The plate was covered in sauce everywhere and looked a general mess. One tries to overlook such silliness as presentation if the food is amazing. But I couldn't even eat more than the first 1/3 of my dish -- it was sooo salty! The bf LOVES salty, and even he said it was too salty. I was drinking so much water just to try and eat the dish, the server refilled my water 4 times for me to eat the 1 piece of fish.
The bf had steak. The steak was cooked well (he always orders medium, and it was medium). It was seasoned well and served with potatoes, mushrooms, and some green that I can't recall. The dish was covered in a sauce that once again, was way too salty. We managed to pick off all the sides that were covered with the sauce and eat the steak with the veggies that weren't sauced.
Maybe they accidentally salted the dish twice. Maybe the person running the pass was doing it for the first time and too overwhelmed to check our dish. Maybe they were understaffed in the kitchen and they found the service to be too much on this quiet weekday evening. Maybe it doesn't matter, and I'll be finding dinner at one of many other excellent restaurants in town. The flavor combination should have been a good one, I like the farm to table fresh food dining idea, and the restaurant looked nice... But wouldn't eat here anymore.

Explanation of my rating system -
5*: Epitome of something, the best I've had, would LOVE to go back
4*: Great food and happy to go back regularly, but not the best of the category
3*: Food is fine. I may spontaneously decide to go there based on convenience. But no need to go back either.
2*: If you insist, I guess I'll come along. I'll find something to eat. But I wouldn't have picked it.
1*: No plans to come back. I'll try to talk companions out of going.
