We stopped on a Sunday…read morearound 1230pm or so and there was a 15-20 minute wait which we were fine with as we were in no rush! They had plenty of seating in the waiting area along with some fun signs/pictures to read while we waited. Once we got to our table there were even more fun signs/pictures to read. We ordered a regular lemonade and a strawberry lemonade. Both were good but ultimately the strawberry lemonade was a table favorite! We decided on splitting some Granda Nachos with Beef and 10 Bone in Wings in Gold Rush sauce, which is the house favorite. The wings were amazing! The sauce was very smooth and had a wonderful flavor. We could see why they are a house favorite as soon as we started eating them. The nachos were also very good. The salsa and sour cream came on the side which is nice for those who may not want that on their nachos. Our only complaint for the nachos was that the nacho cheese didn't seem spread out evenly and the chips towards the bottom got a little soggy before we could get to them. Over all our meal great and would recommend this place to anyone passing through!

On the fence about this place. Put in a pickup order while staying in Windom. I wasn't overly…read morethrilled with the menu options but it seemed to be one of the only restaurants in town that wasn't just fast food. There were quite a few decent options so I decided to give it a try. I ordered pasta that had the option of blackened chicken, lemon pepper chicken, or plain chicken. I selected the lemon pepper chicken, which I did not receive. They gave me blackened chicken instead. It was okay. I'm not a huge fan of blackened chicken flavor but it wasn't the end of the world. The breadstick was good; it had a slightly sweet flavor to it. All in all, it was fine. Nothing to write home about but I wasn't totally disappointed. I'd try other things from this restaurant. My biggest gripe was when I went to pick up my food. Upon entering the restaurant, there's a sign stating "wait to be seated". I stood there for an astonishing amount of time without being greeted. Multiple staff members passed by me and looked at me but did not acknowledge or say a word to me. I stood there so long, it felt very awkward and I debated just approaching someone myself. Where was the hostess??? I felt incredibly unwelcome and it really turned me off to the place. Like the vibes were so off that I thought to myself, I will never be back here. Finally, one of the staff that had passed by me a few times looked at me with hesitation and I could tell she was thinking about how I'd been standing there for a while but I'm guessing it wasn't her job to seat people. I took the opportunity to tell her that I was just there for a pickup order and she notified someone and then brought me the food. Had this young lady not shown visible concern about me standing there, who knows how long I would have stood there without so much as a greeting. Maybe this is acceptable in small town culture, I honestly don't know. But I personally find it rude and unwelcoming. This could just be a one off, but either way... do better!

Could have taken her anywhere without leaving Apple Valley but she was insistent. After this visit, as always, we don't mind the drive! The reason for a young girl's insistence? The luscious house made desserts! We chose a number of specials. Mine was a shaved sirloin sandwich which was tender juicy and with a deep beef flavor reminiscent of grass fed beef. The beef, like many dishes here is locally sourced. The beef, as with many of the meat dishes here, was from Welcome Meats, in a neighboring town. No picture of my dish exists, as it didn't stick around long enough... The first photo is of a brunch favorite, the eggs Benedict, with made to order hollandaise sauce, and ham steak. The second photo is of a featured salad with local strawberries, cucumber, beets, golden tomato, gruyere cheese, and toasted hazelnut pieces, covered with a deftly poured drizzle of balsamic vinegar. The third photo says it all about this establishment. It's a small restaurant, but offers beer (including craft beers) a nice, and affordable wine selection that includes bubbly and sake. We can't wait for our next excursion here...you too?? Pictures

Last Friday was a date night for me and Gayle, as we opted to try for kick ass meal out here at the Hi-Lo Club just outside Lakefield. The restaurant and bar was about a 30 minute drive from the family cabin on the East Shore of Spirit Lake (Orleans) and with a lot less traffic that any fine dining choice almost as far on West Lake Okoboji. Our only regret was that we opted not to go downstairs to the Speakeasy after dinner, where live music was in full swing. The only irritation (if that) was a fairly loud bride and friends dinner a couple tables over. But I quibble as Gayle and I thoroughly enjoyed our romantic evening together within our cozy booth. Here's what we ordered: - Bombay Sapphire Martini (Up/Olives) and then a Malbec (Gayle). - Mocktail (Cranberry Pom Spritz) and then a Sauvignon Blanc (Eric) - Filet Beef Tenderloin with Asparagus and Caesar Salad (Gayle) - Canadian Walleye with Caesar Salad and Wild Rice Pilaf. - Coffee (Eric) and a shared piece of Champagne Cake (See Picture). Our Caesar Salads and Gayle's steak were outstanding. My Walley was excellent, but I wanted more of what Gayle was enjoying. The cake was of course icing on our evening. Total tab? About $160 with tax and tip. Special kudos to our great (and very busy) waitress and the Prohibition-era atmosphere. We only visit the Iowa Great Lakes once in the Summer, so look for us to be back here next year.
