Tonto Grill is a fun place to eat lunch or dinner. I really like their walleye as well as their pork schnitzel, but it has many other things on the menu that are good. The wait staff is always good, and it's nice to come back year after year and see my favorite waitress. It can be difficult to get in, so plan ahead.

Our meal was an excellent fusion of Asian and Mexican cuisines. They suggested approaching with a shared plate experience, and that was the right way to go. Everything we had - sushi rolls, salmon and toro nigiri, guac with pomegranate (like my great aunts from Mexico used to make!), rainbow ceviche, seafood paella, and street corn - was fresh, tasty, and well-presented. The creative flavor combinations made for delightful discoveries on the menu. It's a bit pricey, but we felt it was worth it. The attentive and prompt service was excellent.
