Food was delicious. I recommend the whitefish dinner or swordfish dinner (it was the special of the day).Not much selection for children. The pizza was not bad. Customer service was great.

Building and the interior was impressive. Got a 1940's club feel. However I was not impressed with the service. Took 10-15 minutes for a bartender to notice me and when they did they had a surprised look on their face--like I showed up out of thin air. Somehow I was sitting in an invisible seat. Ordered a beer and it was dropped off. Bartender never came back until my beer was empty. Never offered food. Meanwhile the couples on either side of me were served drinks multiple times, ordered and received their food quickly while I was there. I was impressed with the service they received. Beer was cold, only positive.

Got the Salmon one night and the New York Strip the second night. Both dishes were nicely prepared and delicious. Portions were decent. The atmosphere on the rooftop was nice. You can see some of the Lake, but it is a slightly obstructed view. The place is pricey.

We had very competent, friendly service. The room was comfortable with plenty of space between tables. Deep fried tempura style artichoke hearts were light and not at all greasy. The charcoal grilled porkchop was the best I ever had. It was tender, juicy, and well seasoned.

Best dining experience we had in St. Joseph. Roof top atmosphere was great to enjoy on a beautiful sunny day. Food was very good. Drinks were on point. Server was very pleasant and attentive even though it was a busy Saturday afternoon. We will definitely be returning.

Went for Valentine's day .. Although I was disappointed in the special menu for the holiday.. The regular menu did not disappoint!!! Lamb... Lasagna and the goat cheese fondue were amazing.. And the flourless chocolate cake was art. Well worth the trip not to mention our server was fantastic

Nice atmosphere with pretty good food. Had the hummus appetizer which was quite good. Often hummus is boring in a random restaurant, but this seems much more flavorful. Plus it was served with veggies and little mini naan breads. Could have used a few more veggies/bread as they gave you quite a good amount of hummus.Also had the beef barley soup which was also quite tasty.For dinner I had the steak salad. The steak was cooked to order (med rare) and the house dressing (red pepper vinegarette) was nice and light. Service wasn't super fast, but, being as it was Dec 23rd, I think a lot of restaurants underestimated the number of diners on a Monday. I think they only had 1, maybe 2 wait-staff for the entire dining area in the bar (separate from the bartender). We weren't in a hurry so it wasn't a big deal.They have a roof deck too, which probably has great views... But, it's outside, so, that will have to wait for summer. ;-)

Nice atmosphere with is very cozy. I usually sit at the bar where there are about 6 TVs. Food is very good. I had the scallops the last two times. 4 large scallops that filled me up. Food is cooked perfectly but does need some seasonings to boost it. I highly recommend but It can be above average in price. Still, a great experience.

Best resturaunt in town! Don't take reservations but its not bad if you come early enough. Great options on draft. Food was great, had the firecracker shrimp. Little spicy but it tasted great! For dinner we ordered the whitefish and the Mediterranean pasta. Very yummy!! With rooftop option its great on a cool evening.

The atmosphere was good. You can choose inside or rooftop seating. We choose inside. Like most restaurants the menu is short today with Covid. The service was great. She was attentive without being overbearing. Our drinks were terrible, subpar alcohol in rocks glass at 11 and 12 bucks. We started with the fire cracker shrimp. Just the right spice but a bit too much breading. I ordered the Bella chicken which was the belle of the ball. Super juicy with goat cheese topping. Garlic mashed were piping hot and the green beans were excellent as well. My husband went with the aged marbled NY Strip at market price. This is what ruined the visit. We didn't ask about market price we have ordered them elsewhere and assumed it would be wonderful. Wrong. It was seasoned with just salt and pepper. Under cooked and barley warm. The marble was more like grisly so when we saw the 41 dollar market price we were shocked. Skip the NY Strip. Maybe the rib eye is the better.

It's closed up now but that roof is so wonderful in the good weather. My family and I just love to come here and soak it in. Sometimes I have the steak, it's very good, but most often I go for their salmon. Excellent staff.

Love the roof top deck on a pleasant afternoon. Plenty of umbrella tables for some shade. Got drinks and beers along with a hummus veggie appetizer. We added corn chips for a gluten free choice. Delicious. Around $50 for two cocktails, two beers and the appetizer. Short walk from the free city parking area. Street parking can be tricky during the summer. There’s so much to do in the area. Be patient, it’s worth the wait.

The menu is a little pricy which is expected for an establishment such as this! However, the food is very high quality! The New York Strip Steak is superb and had a nice well done and grilled flavor!! Steak fries were also on par for food lovers! There's a bit of something for anyone feeling an inner "fancy" for higher quality eats!!😌
