New wedding/party venue in downtown. Refurbished old building with all new fixtures. Very clean…read moreand polished up old brick interior. Has a nice sized bar and the bathrooms seemed big enough for the venue. Only negative was limited parking spaces and the entrance was a bit if a bottle neck and it was hard to get into the venue. Primarily because everyone arrived at approximately the same time. The back up was caused by the number of people standing at the bar, and the gift/sign in table limiting passage. Might have been better if table were to be placed somewhere else, but that would have limited seating capacity. Overall pretty nice place.

There is a back room made just for the bridesmaids so that they can get ready on site. There wasn't really a spot for groomsmen. The bathrooms were decent size but not super clean. A lot of the toilets ran out of toilet paper and when we first got there, there were poop marks on the toilets. But other than that, the bathrooms were nice. As for the rest, it was not all that bad. The only other negative thing would be the white cushions on the chairs were stained. Some had red stains and others had large stains. I feel like chairs used for ceremonies with white cushions, should be clean. Overall, this was a decent venue for a wedding. It is a beautiful building with cool ideas. But if you have your wedding here, they do not have fridges to put leftover food in. So it will just have to sit out or get thrown away. But check it out if you are looking to have a wedding!

Arrived on a Sunday at 12:30, and the place was busy! Seated ourselves, and you serve yourself from the buffet line. Salad bar has all the basics, no low fat dressings here! Just the good stuff lots of pasta salad options, all properly kept chilled in a deep ice trough. Hot food consisted of breakfast items like ham, sausage links, mini cheese omelets, French toast sticks, scrambled eggs. Lunch based items included meatballs and gravy, fried chicken, beef tips, mashed potatoes, peel and eat shrimp, fried fish, corn, etc. Dessert was a large pumpkin spice sheet cake, the ice cream machine, and kneecaps (Google if you don't know! Delicious!) French toast sticks reminded me of my childhood, while my husband ate his weight in shrimp. My grandparents got a senior discount, and we all walked away more than full. Service was good, items were refilled promptly, plates removed quickly. Could the decor be updated? Of course. Would it lose its charm if it was? Absolutely.

Very brown and white on the inside-place could really use some paint or new light fixtures or flooring. It is always very clean though; bathrooms, bar counter, floor, table tops. They have 1 or 2 pool tables at the bar and a few arcade games up front for the kids. Service: Service is fantastic! Some of the best around-it gets pretty busy on Friday nights though so there might be a very small wait (longest I ever witnessed was 20 minutes and it was a group of 6 of us). Theresa is great. Food: Best friday fish fry walleye around. I love the hot german potato salad. Portions are huge, you definitely get your moneys worth. They have a great salad and soup bar too that you can add to the meal.

Great big coolers of delicious drinks and lots of local beer on tap. Decided to get some tacos and they were a delight! Reminded me of taco night at home with really tasty tortillas and the beef was spot on. Tasty bite! Really enjoyed the cheese curds here too.

In fact it looked like the bottom of a frying pan. Good view of river only available on the on far north side in the hot sun. The music was so loud you couldn't even hear yourself. Don't know about food didn't make that far. But apparently you have to order by a window and then stand and wait for it like you would at a food truck. Very, very disappointed would not recommend to anyone. Had to give 1 star because there wasn't any lower rating, but I would rate it a 0.

We enjoyed our pilsner and conversation with locals and were invited to tour the facility by Jason Knuth, who owns the establishment with his wife Jennifer. There are two indoor bar areas with plenty of outdoor seating. On the second floor is a spacious ballroom accommodating over 300 people adjacent to a large outdoor balcony. For weddings there are bride and groom suites. The hardworking owners have full-time days jobs and together with some friends converted the building to this amazing facility.

We tried the Friday night offerings. From the outside, you have a rather sterile, commercial building. The dining rooms don't offer much more in ambience. However, the huge bar area is an awesome throwback to the 1970's. We started at the bar. Quick service. Reasonably priced drinks. The old fashioned wasn't anything to write home about. We were seated and met our waitress. She was very nice and was attentive to us throughout our visit. She and the bartender truly helped the overall rating (3.5 if Yelp trusted reviewers) with half stars. Everyone in our party tried the buffet. Everyone found something to their liking. Overall, it offered a nice-sized and well kept salad bar. There was clam chowder for soup. It was just okay. On the main buffet, the walleye, butterflied shrimp and sliced steak were good. Staff did a great job keeping the food filled. The chicken cordon blue was a strange casserole and according to a dining partner, the ribs were okay. Two sheet cakes served as dessert. Overall, not a bad place but not great. Other than the bar area, it lacks your traditional supper club vibe. Would I try it again? Sometime; just not soon. There are too many supper clubs available to settle for "good".

Your reservation is associated with a table number, and when called you go to the dining room to the corresponding table. Food was OK. Nothing special. You can order off the menu or use the buffet; if ordering off the menu it will be a longer wait. Salad bar was subpar (and a mess). Bread baskets were empty. Counter around it was dirty. Buffet - the big draw are the crab legs and lobster claws. Baked fish, fried chicken, scallops, and shrimp. Mixed vegetables and red potatoes. Separate table with desserts, possibly all cheesecake. We took our drinks to the table with us when seated. Waitress never asked us if we wanted another drink.
