   Another amazing dinner at our favorite place in Wellen Park. Had the bolognese for the first time. It was outstanding! Our waitress, Chelsea was wonderful. Dave makes the best chocolate martini! Great job, Stacy and staff!!

   The place was packed! Be sure to make a reservation in season at high times. Kelly was our server and she was outstanding. The atmosphere was great. Both their brunch and dinner menus do have limited items but I want to try almost all of them. Well worth the time to check this place out.

   Overall a great experience. The food and service was good. Only con was the noise. Ask for a table in the back of the restaurant with a window view of the lake and sunset.

   Cindy -- Thanks you for the great review. Sorry to hear that the noise was a little too much. Was it the music or just the business of the restaurant? Hopefully we will see you again soon!

   Overall a good experience. The only thing that was extremely disappointing was my dessert. I ordered the lemon pound cake. It came grilled which would have been on except it was burnt which made the poundcake hard and very difficult to eat, and all you tasted was burnt char. Everyone else said their desserts were good so I was very disappointed

   A bit disappointed in the food tonight. Husband had a filet that was just ok and my salmon tasted like it came from Costco. My old fashioned was made with rye instead of bourbon. The wedge salad was great but my party's appetizers were mediocre.

   Went for the Sunday Brunch. The selection was very good. The problem is that they are still not dialed in on the quality of the selections. They are trying to serve Eggs Benedict and the poached eggs are cool and hard cooked; non even close to proper. The other service trays needed to be set to a much warmer setting to keep the food piping hot. The Carving Station although nice, had an inadequate heat lamp so the meats were lukewarm. The service overall was great. I am hoping that this is just growing pains as they are new to Sunday Brunch. I don't mind the $35 and automatic 20% added gratuity if everything was great. In this case, not worth it for the 4 of us. Going again is TBD.
