    Rating this restaurant is a unique experience. It is more than food, service, ambiance (all of which were 5 star), but you are also treated like family. From the minute you arrive until you leave, you interact with people who sincerely treat you like you have joined them for a family dinner. The food is superb and eclectic. The appetizers were different from others we’ve had, and at the same time delicious. The fried chicken and walleye were the best. Mixology was wonderful. We then received a historical tour of the restaurant and its family pictures. This is a special, tasty, and inviting place!
