The food ( breakfast) was absolutely amazing. Not sure if they make their breads on premises but it was scrumptious and the scrambled eggs were absolutely perfect . Another person in our party had pancakes that so good as well as a meat plate with bacon, eggs and some other goodness. The orange tasted freeze squeezed. Service was awesome. They were so busy but the waitress never missed a beat. The place is looks like a regular diner. But it was very clean. So if you haven't tried the point or haven't been there for a few years, try it.

There were a few issues with our order. We accidentally received two orders of spinach dip as an appetizer, the chicken wings arrived cold and had to be remade, and my husband's chicken sandwich was forgotten and didn't come out until the rest of us had nearly finished eating. To the restaurant's credit, our server handled everything professionally, kept us updated, and removed several items from our bill to make things right. Aside from the cold wings, the food was very good. While the meal wasn't perfect, the excellent customer service made a big difference, and we appreciated how the staff resolved the issues.

Needs a complete overhaul. This GWL location is one of the more updated, but Barnwood is laughably…read morebad. Understaffed, one server for the whole restaurant. Even during slow times, service was horrendous. Bar is understocked. Could only make one mojito, didn't have the ingredients for a second. Children's portions are minuscule for the price. Was served very undercooked chicken. Thankfully I cut my chicken sandwiches in half before eating, and even in the dim lighting saw that it was not cooked through. Wasn't offered a different option... I called after the fact because I was told there was no manager to speak with and that someone would call me the next day. After about an hour on hold I got an empathetic manager who was able to give us some credits on our stay... but you couldn't pay me to eat there again.

We really enjoy the Italian food at Lauretta's! Their lasagna, raviolis, chicken parmigiana, and…read morebakery items are delicious. We always have had wonderful dinners from Lauretta's. Friendly and quick service.

Cute spot and we will return for sure! We had the spaghetti & meatballs and the spinach ravioli…read more Both included a side dish of soup or salad. The ravioli was fresh and delicious. The meatballs had good flavor and texture, and the spaghetti was a large portion. The marinara sauce could use a little more flavor though. The desserts looked amazing, and while we didn't try any on this trip, we'll save room next time.

Service was solid throughout. We started with mocktails, which were well made, along with breadsticks and calamari -- both excellent. The clam chowder was also very good. My wife had the salmon and it came out amazing. I went with the fried walleye and potato wedges -- the wedges were great, but the fish itself got a bit soggy underneath, more baked-texture than crispy-fried. I don't doubt it was fried, it just didn't have the crispness you want from fresh fried fish. Honestly, I think fried fish might be better left to the Wisconsin supper clubs. That said, one so-so dish isn't enough to sour the visit -- everything else we had was great, and I'm sure there are plenty of other dishes here they've mastered. We'll definitely be back, just won't order the walleye again.
