The place is really adorable too. We just happened to swing by here once after a flight delay and they were booked, so we knew it must be good. If you're up for some excellent Scandinavian fusion cooking with some adorable ambiance you found your place! Just be sure to have a reservation on the weekend. This was absolutely worth the wait and the drive!

Everyone is your friend. The service is warm, not stuffy. The food is exactly what you want: hearty, but not heavy, flavorful and still fresh. An absolute gem in a small town. A place that acts as a glue for a community. A space for people to come together share life along an excellent, farm to table meal. Every small town needs their norwegian!

I ordered a flight so I could sample many. The samples were large. The food was excellent. Menu options extend beyond typical pub fare. We started with the fried pickle chips which were actual chips and not pickle spears like some places offer. I ordered the POKE BOWL WITH KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN. It was super delicious. You can't beat the outdoor seating with river view, unless it was hot like when we visited. We opted for indoor seating in the cooled environment. Staff was excellent.

We came Thursday night specifically for the the specials. Old fashioneds and half price appetizer with two entrees. They have them on the menus, social media, website etc. When our bill came, the old fashioneds were priced correctly, but not the half off appetitezer. So that needed to be corrected, but our server was happy to take care of that once my husband brought it to her attention. My husband got the chicken bacon Alfredo and he enjoyed it, but the sauce was pretty watery. I got the 'steak frites' which is delicious. When I asked for the fries, the server tried telling me the fries were an upcharge...and again, on the menu, website, etc in caps even it says fries are a free sub. It's literally called steak frites. I'm curious how many are coming to a golf course clubhouse looking for 'happy healthy power entrees.' Do everyone a favor, make a new category, drop the quotation marks around the steak frites and off an actual steak section, because that was one of the best steaks I've had in the stateline. Tldr: Food rating based on taste was a 5, but why did we have to remind them of their OWN specials, and why did the server tell me the steak frites had an upcharge for fries when the menu says the sub to have fries (for steak frites was free). That knocked off 2 stars.

My husband said yes, we will be ordering appetizers and drinks and maybe dinner. She snatched the menus and put us at the only table for two directly in the sun with no umbrellas. When we asked if we could sit at another table with some shade, she was really rude and just said "No", we're really busy right now. The hostess never said "Welcome" or "happy to see you" or anything welcoming at all and was rude the entire time we interacted with her. We stayed because we liked the music we could hear and our server was very welcoming and gave us super good service. The food was really good and it was just very disappointing to be greeted so rudely for first time or 100th time visitors.

If you're in the mood for Mexican food that hits different than what you're used to, you'll find it here. They put their own unique flair on everything from the salsas to the drinks to the burritos.

It's a fun atmosphere and all the servers we've had have been super nice and helpful. They also offer a convenient lane outside for takeout so you don't even need to leave your car.

She was warm, attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. She handled our group with ease, anticipated our needs, and made us all feel welcome. Outstanding service like Julia's is what turns a good meal into a great experience. Thank you, Julia--we'll definitely be back! The food was every bit as impressive as the service. Everything our group ordered was prepared well and served hot. The burgers were cooked exactly as requested and were absolutely delicious. I chose the grilled chicken with vegetables instead of fries--a healthier option--and it was tender, flavorful, and satisfying. One person in our party ordered the sturgeon special and couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Then came the dessert tray...wow! There were so many tempting choices that it was hard to decide. I had the berry layered cake, which was moist, flavorful, and the perfect finish to the meal. Another person chose the cheesecake, and the generous slice was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Great food, generous portions, outstanding desserts, and exceptional service from Julia made this a great evening. We look forward to coming back!

I ordered the half sandwich with fruit and a soda. The sandwich I ordered was the chicken salad sandwich, which strangely is made with pineapple instead of the typical cranberries or grapes. Not really a fan of the pineapple in there. I was pretty disappointed that the amount of bread on the sandwich half was way more than the actual sandwich contents. The meal came to almost $20! I did include a 10% tip, which I regret. My meal at BAR used to cost $9. My friend and I both decided we need to keep looking for a new lunch spot. This definitely isn't it!
