| - Oh Don's.
I've been here twice, the first time for lunch and the second (more recently) for dinner.
When I came for lunch, I believe it was on a Tuesday, we were one of the only tables at the bar and the service and food were both quite good. I think I had the French Onion soup and a salad.
However, I am basing this review on my dinner experience there. Four of us went, during restaurant week, and all chose to go with the three course prix fixe. First, however, we had an order of shrimp cocktail. Now, I don't know what the white sauce that comes with it is (it's vaguely tartar-y, but not quite?), but it was out of this world!
For my three courses I tried the bistro salad, pretzel-crusted walleye and the bread pudding. The bistro salad was tasty, a standard mixed green salad. The massive portion of walleye was quite good, and was served with a dijon sauce, mashed yukon gold potatoes and some kind of corn succotash. The bread pudding was alright, served with chocolate and a few strawberries, but nothing to write home about. Overall the meal was large and good, 4 stars for the food-definitely worth the $30 price tag.
The service, however, left a bad taste in my mouth. Now, I realize it was busy, but my god, man. Our server first brought out the wrong beer for the only one my dining mates that ordered an alcoholic beverage (I mean, there are only three beers on tap, c'mon). Everything came out vvvvery slowly after that, and after sitting for nearly twenty minutes after our entree plates were cleared, she came to ask it we wanted to see a dessert menu (ummmm, we already ordered our dessert, thanks). It probably took another 20 minutes for our dessert to come out and then another 20 for our check. The restaurant had all but cleared out at this point, so it was getting super irritating.
Summary: good food (nothing special), bad service. I will try again because I see that other yelpers have given the service glowing reviews and it's close to home.
