Simply amazing. Our experience at this restaurant is one we've craved in Iowa for a LONG time. Service is spectacular. Food delicious!
I am in the middle of a medical crisis, but we wanted to celebrate my husband's birthday while in town. My diet is extremely limited, but their menu and Chef are extremely accommodating.
I asked to make some changes, praying I'd still get tasty food, but made with what I could eat. Dining is hard when you are sick or your food intake is limited in any way. After asking my waiter for some menu changes to a dish, he took my request seriously at the get-go (THANK YOU!!!), the Chef came out to verify and talk about what adjustments he'd need to make to my dish, asking about allergies (I have none and am just tied to a temporary medical diet until I have some healing). It impressed me that he would come out during their busiest time to make sure he served me something that met my needs, while also watching out for my safety. This is NOT industry standard, especially in rural Iowa towns. During my medical diet, I have tried in vain to eat out and it's almost impossible. I typically have to send my meal back or they won't even make accommodations in the first place. So to have this experience on my husband's birthday while we have been battling my illness for 8 months, really left an impression with us. I am overwhelmed, just from the service and food experience. We needed that..... And, to top it off, they offered an amazing dessert free of charge for my hubby's birthday (as is typical for this establishment).
Now for the food - amazing. Without all the seasonings I am accustomed to normally eating, I was reserving myself to a bland steak and salmon and baked potato to fit my medical diet. Boy was I surprised that he used smoke to flavor the potato and used what I could eat for toppings. If these pictures could talk... The steak and salmon were cooked perfection. Quality ingredients that stood out with simple seasonings and expertly prepared. My husband shared that his meal was equally amazing - with even more flavor!
So thank you. Food and eating out are something we truly miss and you all knocked it out of the park from the moment we entered the doors. Thank you isn't even enough to cover how you treated us and our...
Read moreTwin Springs Supper Club is definitely on our return list after our first visit and quickly made it to a special place in our memory. Excellent food and top notch service all in a beautiful setting. Located very conveniently just minutes outside of Decorah on a road that leads you past Twin Springs park which is worth a stop itself to check out the creek that runs along it. I made reservations for an anniversary dinner and while many restaurants may inquire about a special occasion, they don't really do anything about it. Twin Springs hooked us up with a private table with a nice outdoor view and an anniversary card on the table signed by the staff. We ordered one filet mignon with shrimp and one with salmon accompanied by Caesar salads, freshly baked bread, and twice baked potatoes. The filet was very tender, filled with flavor and cooked perfectly to order. The shrimp and salmon were also prepared with skill and packed flavor. The twice baked potato was like none other I've had but was the best I've had. The salads and bread were both fresh and served promptly after ordering allowing time to enjoy before the main course. The meal was satisfyingly filling and prices for the quality are reasonable. Dessert was a complete surprise that was again the kind acknowledgement of our special occasion. A warm brownie with ice cream, whipped topping and a cherry was a complimentary treat that just topped off the experience. The service we received at Twin Springs was exceptional from enter to exit. We were seated immediately when we arrived and our waitress, Harley, greated us promptly wishing us a happy anniversary right away. She was authentically pleasant and checked in on us frequently to be sure we had everything we wanted and were enjoying our experience. Besides our waitress, two other staff members stopped by to make sure we were content. Best dining experience in a long time! Amazing food and...
Read moreOne of my new favorite places when I want great steak or seafood! 75 minute drive from Austin,MN though (5 from Decorah, IA). Midpoint to meet my husband for supper on a Wednesday evening. You can wear whatever clean clothes you want and fit in just fine. We got there right after 5pm and it steadily filled up throughout our meal.1 mile off of blacktop, but don't let that deter you. Husband always gets fries for his side(s) and I'm not much of a fry person, but the homemade fries here were delicious (think best bucket of fries at the fair minus the extra grease). Very flavorful steak and shrimp, homemade croutons, and twice baked potato. Nice variety of gourmet appetizers and wines to choose from, but our meal was filling enough. Food prices are on par with chain and non-chain competitors, but the chef's cooking is an art to be admired. As a self-proclaimed savvy consumer, I would consider this an excellent value for money. The menu isn't lengthy, but it covers the essentials and I would guarantee anything ordered would exceed your expectations! The waiter, hostess, bar staff, and chef all checked on our meal and made sure we were taken care of (in a non-annoying way). Indoor, pergola, and garden seating available. Booths were very roomy, so my goddess-sized body had plenty of room and I would not hesitate sitting there even if I were 9 months pregnant. Beautiful and clean. Did not check out the bathrooms, but I would confidently expect them to be as satisfactory as everything else. The only thing that could have made it better, would have been ice cream after dinner drinks or frozen (pina colada) drink options. Chef is a transplant steakhouse chef from Chicago that moved to Decorah to open his own supper club in a more relaxed atmosphere 2 years ago....
