The food and service was excellent - I'd go back just for the bread and even to sit in Jerome's section. He was fantastic - very attentive, knowledgeable and considerate of everyone. And the food - wow. We all raved about what we ordered, from the ravioli to risotto to the complimentary bread. The only negative was the noise level - it was very loud and I felt like I almost had to yell to talk to our party or would ask them to repeat what they said. Despite the noise, I would not hesitate to return for lunch.

The service was great. The food and drinks were amazing! We had the cod and the walleye and every bite was delicious. I ordered an old fashion and it was one of the best ones I’ve had, it was made perfectly. Everything was served in a timely manner.
