don't waste your time or money

by shep007

We wnet on a not very busy friday. we were told there was a five minute wait while they were bussing tables. We waited over 25 minutes and could see several empty tables from the bar. Bartending service was poor. I sat there with an empty glass almost ten minutes while the bartenders talked amongst themselves. They seemed inconvienced by having to pour me another beer. When we were finally seated i ordered the perch and clam chowder. I took 2 bites of the clam chowder and pushed it away. It had an awful fishy taste, not how chowder is supposed to taste. The fish was pretty average and not very hot when served. If we did not have a gift certificate we would not have eaten here, but we will definitely not be returning.

• Cons: service, food, very loud

What's the definition of Reservation?

by maxpatty

Made reservations for New Year's Eve. Big mistake. I'm not sure why they take reservations. We were told our table would be ready in 20 min. The place was a zoo. The hostess was screaming into her microphone to announce names. It was so crowded that I'm sure it was in violation of fire codes. Had I known they were 2 hours off schedule by their 6 o'clock reservation, we would have left. I understand that overbooking is a common practice for this restaurant. I think the management needs to look up the definition of "RESERVATION" . Although the food was good, the steak "great", I will never go back and never recommend this place to anyone. We have a lot of good places to eat in the surrounding area. In todays economy I would rather spend my money at a restaurant that has better customer service.

Amazing food, prompt service, needs updated atmosphere. Reservations recommended.

My family went here for an anniversary. The food is fantastic, perfectly cooked and seasoned, decorated plates, friendly staff. Didn't pick up dirty dishes from plate for quite a while. Had NY Strip. MMmmmm I'm still drooling. be sure to try the Saganaki flaming cheese for an appetizer.

The "decor" of the restaurant could sure be updated. Most stuff looks to be from the 1980s. It could be "THE PLACE" in Waukesha County if it rennovated a bit.

They also have a live piano player some nights. It is super loud when you're in the bar area, but definately great. He even takes requests (for tips) :)

We had a great time. But, they should remodel and advertise a bit more!
