Updating my review as we just went again for the first time in 2 years.
No changes to the service, still outstanding.
The food was excellent. Ordered in our group was the Crab Cakes, Cinnamon Poached Pear Salad, the curry fish special (sorry don't remember the name as it was not mine), another fish dish that included black rice, and I had the Lost Boys pizza - withOUT the hot honey. Hate trendy junk and really, leave the honey alone. But I digress and they are certainly NOT the only ones doing it. We also had the Carrot Cake and the Fallen Chocolate Souffle Cake ala Mode. The pizza was phenomenal. I ate 1/2 and took the rest home for lunch the next day of course. Had to make sure I had room for the souffle cake. Which was also just delicious. Everyone else was very pleased with their selections with most taking leftovers home.
From 2 years ago: Went to the Precinct for their Thursday night TV Dinner special. Looked like a fun, different way to have dinner. And it was. The service was great and our server was very friendly and efficient.
The food was not what I would have expected. Granted it was only $15, and the full dinner was quite filling, but the items themselves were hit or miss on flavor.
Chicken - basically a chicken finger. Dry. No flavor. Honey biscuit - Standard biscuit but great honey taste without being sugary. Mac & Cheese - pasta over cooked and mushy. Couldn't taste any cheese. Kale coleslaw - Wasn't looking forward to this as kale is NOT my thing. This turned out to be the second best part of the meal. The kale was prepared perfectly, and was soft and tender - almost like wilted spinach. Spiced Apple Cake with cream cheese icing. Very moist, a bit dense, but delicious.
I don't know if this was just a miss that one night, but I a willing to give them another try for their regular menu or different TV dinner night as the menu for the TV dinner changes every week.
We did also order the bacon wrapped watermelon rind for an appetizer. It was definitely different. The pieces that had really crisp bacon were great. I found that if the bacon wasn't real crisp it added an odd texture and flavor that I...
Read moreFirst time here and I had some high expectations after seeing pictures of the food and reading peoples reviews. I will say that the food was perfection. My taste buds were dancing and my eyes were smiling with how pretty everything looked in front of me. I tried a variety of items including the bacon wrapped pickled watermelon rinds, the pumpkin fritters, queso fundido, the salted beet salad, the hot honey jalepeno pizza and creme brulee. I was fat and happy and definitely in a food comma when I left. The cocktails were also amazing and the list of specialty beers was like none other. Our waitress was also very friendly and attentive and knowledgeable of the food and drinks. Yes. You are going to a big check at the end, this is not a dive bar, chain restaurant or fast food. But OMG it's totally worth it. The quality and care but into the food and drinks was worth every cent and the portions were large. I understand that times are difficult and staffing during these times is challenging. My only suggestion is that I wish the staff was more engaging. I purposely sat at the bar in front of the kitchen to watch the food prep, etc. in the hopes of a little fun banter. This place has a fun, trendy, artsy and hip vibe. We are talking fun hairstyles, tattoos and piercings. Instead everyone was rather quiet and focused on what they were doing. That isn't a bad thing, it just didn't fit the overall vibe of the place. I will definitely be back, it's just a bit of a hike for me (45min). Please, please, please open another location further North such as Fond du lac...
Read moreAn interesting place that I would certainly try again. My husband and I shared the whipped feta and hot honey dip appetizer and it was so delicious! For dinner, I had the walleye and my husband ordered a pizza. Both entrees were great.
We were seated at a corner table where I stared straight ahead at the teal wall that had little to no decor on it (industrial pipe lighting doesn't count, sorry!). All of the tables in the middle of the restaurant were open, and remained that way the entire time we were dining, so it was annoying to be pushed into a literal corner when we could have been seated elsewhere. Plus, a bit cold sitting by a window. This restaurant would benefit from paying some more attention to the customer experience in terms of seating arrangements (I would get rid of this corner table completely). Looking back on it, I should have asked to be seated at a different table. We had to wait a bit for our server to come over and ask for our drinks despite the restaurant not being busy, but I believe he was new and still learning the ropes. He was nice and attentive otherwise. I think this restaurant would benefit from creating more of an identity. There was a neat graffiti-style mural on the wall above the kitchen area, but beyond that and a few other small things, it lacked in decor and we couldn't really tell what the theme of...
