Price, even with inflation these days is affordable. Love the sweet shop and will continue to support them throughout generations for as long as we can!

My kids love the ice cream especially the sundaes! We try to go back as much as we can.read more

Pricy to add chicken but it was juicy and well worth (8/10) + Norwegian salmon ($38): best salmon I've ever had, cooked perfectly, not dry and nicely crusted. Served over lentils and capers (9.3/10) + Pumpkin risotto ($27): did not have any pumpkin flavor (5/10)

Located inside the boutique hotel - Charmant - is the bar and restaurant. The kitchen is open and…read morethere is kitchen side seating if you wanted to watch them prepare dishes... but it can be a bit loud. The server - Landon - was very professional and detail oriented when discussing specials and items on the menu. Had the scallops and they were delicious. The lamb dish was also very flavorful. Ended the meal with a well made espresso martini. The dessert options did not really appeal to us, so we did not partake. The restaurant is modern with a slice of steampunk with pulleys they suspend the lighting.

This is a special occasions venue that my husband and I both love. Consistently excellent food,…read morevery good to excellent service, and lovely ambiance. I always end up getting whatever pasta they have because it is homemade... and it's hard to find homemade pasta in this wonderful little city. I wish they would bring back their happy hour at the bar.

If you are a person of color, try this restaurant at your own risk. I find the owner/hostess Joan…read moreto be very condescending. Our visit prior to this visit, my guest asked me if she had an issue with us. She was rude, short, looked past us and seated us in the back room next to a door. It was so cold, we asked to be moved. Wednesday June 24th I returned with the same guest. We joked about lets see how Joan treats us today. We asked to order 2 entrees each. The waitress said she had to ask Joan. She returned to inform us we couldn't order two entrees each. Joan the owner said, they were expecting some large parties and she wasn't doing any "to go" orders. FIRST, if that's the case your menu should reflect that!! SECOND, I've NEVER heard that you are limited to one entree. As long as I can cover what I'm buying. I dare you!! Joan, if you don't want to entertain people of color, put a sign on the door. You're DISRESPECTFUL!!

We used IBS for a LaCrosse wedding. Everyone loved the cake. We were able to choose from many…read moredifferent flavors and fillings. This place was wonderful from ordering to delivering and setting up cake for a very reasonable cost. All four of my daughters will be getting wedding cakes here. You can go in and buy just a slice of cake, I love that idea. Try the cheesecake cake...yummy!

Two stars because while their baked goods are AMAZING (moist, great flavor, excellent decorating),…read morethe customer service I received was atrocious. I asked for separate packaging for the gluten free cupcakes I had ordered and got an argument. I tried to be nice but when the person told me my allergy isn't that bad and continued to talk over me, I lost it. My lesson? Always remember not all people know about Celiac (I had assumed the reg and gf would be packaged separately - my mistake). Fine, I learned. But the person had no right to argue with me. I won't go back because of that incident.

He just found one he liked and sent the inspo to them and they brought it to life. Simple in design, but damn tasty in execution.

Stopped here for an afternoon pick-me-up and was not disappointed! Apparently baker Jen has been a…read moreFood Network baking champion three times?! When we saw that sign we had to stop in. A handful of options to pick from, and I loved seeing two GF options. I got the brownie cookie, and it was fabulous! For beverages I got chai - it wasn't very warm and only filled 3/4 way, so I had to go back and ask them to fill the rest with hot water. My partner got a pumpkin cold brew and he loved it! He picked a vanilla sprinkles cupcake - there was only one left, and he was pretty bummed: it was stale and pretty flavorless. I think we picked wrong on a few things, but the brownie cookie and pumpkin cold brew were delish!

What an absolute delicious meal!!! The ambiance was great, the service-great, the food - fantastic!…read moreWe had the teriyaki filet and teriyaki sirloin. The baked potatoes were huge with ample butter and sour cream so when you got to the end, you weren't left with dry potato. The salad bar was filled with a fresh selection of lettuce and toppings. We also had the vanilla cheesecake with chocolate syrup and it too was, of course, fantastic. We are only saddened by the fact that we live 8 hours away. Good thing or we'd be here all the time! Thank you Freighthouse, we'll be back if we are ever in town again!
