| - Nobody's perfect. We know this. People aren't perfect. Their creations are reflections of that. A 5 star rating is as close to perfect as you can get on Yelp. 4 stars is still pretty dang good, since you can't please everybody all the time. And 3 stars? Well 3 stars was made, it seems, for The Cutting Board.
We made a Friday reservation on OpenTable, but we knew it wasn't necessary. There wasn't a hostess stand and we entered the restaurant. We were sat immediately and our waitress wasn't far behind. She was nice and attentive, for the most part. No drink menus, but they did had Citramax IPA on tap in the bar next room over. Wine and beer prices were good. As mentioned in other posts, their menu changes often and they try to keep it updated online. Even still, we tried to order scallops and they were unavailable. Ok, next option. Smoked chicken confit Mac and cheese. It first came out and was lukewarm at best, so we flagged a server and got it replaced (or reheated). It was delicious and almost seemed like pulled smoked pork. My walleye dinner was good, like 3 stars good. It was a good section of fish, apparently pan fried but still tasting of the breadcrumbs. The vegetables were unevenly cooked, and the sweet potatoes were as well.
The bar next door was relatively lively, most likely because of the holidays and guests at the hotel. They had a guitar player / singer who was his own one man band.
