Food was excellent, service was great. Unfortunately, (being attached to a hotel there’s not much you can do about it), but right when you walked into this beautiful restaurant, it smelled like a swimming pool…

What an awesome little gem. Great service, friendly staff, and wonderful tasting food and drinks. I never knew there was a restaurant there, but I am glad I discovered this little gem! From the young lady that sat us to the friendly, involved, waitstaff I was impressed. I loved the open kitchen design and the food tasted amazing. Can't wait to return!

We went on a Friday night and it was very quiet , we ended up to be the only table after we were given our meals. The food was just average but I still think there should have been more guests there since there aren't too many restaurants in Menomonee Falls.

Bar tender was good and made good cocktails. Beer battered fish fry was hard, crunchy and over cooked fish. Not worth $24

The service was a little slow due to the restaurant being very busy for a Tuesday night, and minimally staffed. The menu choices were good with choices from sandwiches and full dinners. The kitchen was a little slow due again to staffing, but the food was excellent and I felt a good value for the price. We will definitely come back, and we are looking forward to trying the fish fry on Wednesday or Friday of the following week.

The restaurant was part of a hotel, I wasn’t too happy with our meal. We definitely would not go back.
