    Food was excellent in terms of presentation and taste. The server was also very good. The wine,however, was very inferior and thus subtracted from the overall experience. The water also had a strange taste (probably unfiltered tap water).

    Regarding Thanksgiving. Unfortunately 2024 was not a good year. If they want to put you on the 17th floor - don't do it. Food choices were not as diverse as previous years. Ambience on 17th fl was terrible.

    We went specifically for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was excellent. There was a wide variety of food from breakfast through a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. There was an excellent carving station with roasted turkey and baked Dearborn ham. The sides included excellent stuffing and real mashed potatoes. The salad bar was outstanding in its variety and all of the selections were very good. As usual, the desserts were sumptuous, especially the Apple Streusel although it would have been nice to have some vanilla sauce to top it off. Overall the food was about as hot (warm) as you would expect from a buffet. The service was a little slow initially but after the introduction, it was excellent. We are both very Thankful to the staff who worked during their Thanksgiving day to provide such friendly service.

    3 hours from start to finish. Took over an hour to get drink order from the bar. They kept saying they were out of something. After the drinks came it was another 30 minutes before they decided to take our dinner order. The food was good, however the walleye did not have the distinctive flavor you would expect from Walleye. It tasted like a fishy white fish. All in all it was a very long dinner and not in a good way.

    Never disappoints. Stunning views. Elegance. The Sunday brunch was amazing and very reasonably priced. Prime rib was super tender. Nice omelette station. Highly recommended.

    Food was great and our server was lovely. Also noted that it was very quiet and we could easily speak and hear one another. Overall, excellent!

    We have the Sunday brunch. The food was cold. The quality was poor. Would recommend for dinner or lunch but the Sunday brunch was $35/person and was disapointing.
