This is a great place. Quiet and quaint meet good food. Plenty of TVs with your sport of choice showing. My business partners had steak and I had the twin lobsters. The sides are very generous and the butternut bisque was excellent. Service was great.

We were able to call the same evening to get a reservation for a friday evening without issues. When we arrived we had about a 15 minute wait which wasn't too bad. Our waitress was super nice and very accommodating as we had with us a 2.5 year old. We ordered all of our food and asked for the child's food to be brought out first, which arrived very quickly.

In regards to food:
-The ginger ale is made to order, so it is not your typical soda drink.
-The Butternut squish bisque is absolutely delicious and creamy. The soup does not come with bread, however, you can order crostini to accompany the meal
-The chicken tortilla soup is very spicy! so be aware
-The BLT Sandwich is super fresh and very delicious as their bacon is so yummy
-The Bacon Cheeseburger is also very fresh and delicious
-Garlic Mashed Potatoes were so silky, absolutely delicious, and had the perfect amount of butter and garlic
-Their Kids Mac and Cheese is not your typical boxed style as it is homemade and has a very smokey taste to it. Also, you can taste the cream in it as it is very rich

**Try the bacon it got thumbs up from everyone eating!

Steaks are good, sides are good, ambiance is very Iowan. Great place to get away from the college crowd because of the “heftier” price tag. I just did not care for ordering everything separate.

The food was very flavorful and authentic. The servings were on the small side and the prices were pretty high. The atmosphere is decent. Some of the beers are not the best but it is nice to have a place to try the local flavors.
