    We both enjoyed the new tasting menu and the wine pairings. The menu and the wine pairings were outstanding! One of the very best meals we have had in the city in the last year. Service was excellent from beginning to end. Can’t wait to return to try other items on the tasting menu. Joe B would be so proud! Thank you!

    Excellent, as always. Had not been in a while, but, still the same, classic European-style setting. Beef tenderloin was delicious and sides of brussel sprouts and mushrooms were tasty. We like sitting at the bar and having dinner, but, tables offer spectacular lake views. There’s something alluring about the park and lakefront setting, the historic building with beautifully-tiled walls and floors, stamped tin bar and friendly staff that are all very welcoming.
