Our group was welcomed, my coat was taken, I was shown the seating. I was brought a drink menu and a small bite to try. Our table was set up in the kitchen area where the chef was busy with our meal preparation. Our table was beautifully set with mismatched silverware, wine glasses and our first course, the Farmer's Board. Beautiful focaccia bread studded with garlic cloves and herbs on top. This was accompanied by a selection of butters and dips and raw vegetables.
We had a five course tasting menu, a combination of hot and cold dishes all plated with perfection. Our food menu was price-fixed but there were options for adding wines for each course, (at different price levels , nice touch) as well as a beer pairing. There were silverware changes for each course and the service was stellar. My favorite course was the Walleye Quenelles with a perfect spoon of caviar.
I will definitely be back for another special occasion. read more
