The dish was excellent, the polenta was soft and creamy, really enjoyable. My friend tried their fillet mignon and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned.

I had a flight of all whites and enjoyed all, my wife had a mostly red flight and loved all but one. We opted for the smash burgers and they were delicious but when the guests near us ordered the pizza we had a smidge of food envy. Loved the 1880 bourbon bar ambiance and will come here again on a weekend sometime. Thank you for a very enjoyable visit. Props to the chef and the server as nothing was lacking.

We opened with adult beverages. After cruising the menu, we decided on their pretzel bites and beer cheese. Pretty delicious! The remainder of our meal consisted of their wings and their meat pizza. Both of those dishes were extremely delicious as well. Enjoy stopping at the canoe club when in the area!

The staff is always super friendly and there's more seating than it looks.

The whole location was super whimsy and adorable! As for the food, it was amazing!!! We ordered the charcuterie board as an appetizer, which was gone in minutes. The poke bowl was my friend's, and she said she enjoyed it and said it was similar to decomposed sushi. I got the lemon ricotta ravioli and it was DIVINE. Generally, I'm not a big cheese person, but I loved this. I ordered it without the ricotta topping, but it was still delicious! Very rich and comforting. All in all, delicious and definitely worth checking out if you're in the market for a charming but fancy dining experience.

The buildings are each heated and they have several fire pit areas along the paths to stay warm. If you want to eat inside you will need to make reservations in advance.
