Best homemade pasta I‘ve ever had in my entire life! Great service, atmosphere is awesome - dim light, relaxing, cozy - original food....there is a uniqueness about this place, you just have to try it!

Best chocolate fondu in Southeast Iowa. Hands down the best butter and bread in the area. Silent and sophisticated service in a quite atmostphere that is sure to be remembered. Generally offer a fun tasting menu to compliment their unique regular menu. Get the crab cakes app. move onto the niman ranch pork chop and finish with fondu, you can‘t fail.

Service was very good, and I don‘t say this lightly...I had the most PERFECT ribeye of my life. Outstanding food. Nice atmosphere. Great value with portions, quality of food, and prices.

Wonderful service every time I‘ve been there.
Food is generally very good or better. Not haute cuisine, but not meat and potatoes. The food almost always makes sense to me - creative without being bizarre (to my palate). Interesting, and well prepared and presented. Good sized portions, and not any more expensive than some of the mediocre places down town.
Good wine list, some nice beers.
Some tables are better than others, but there are a few good tables for two on a first date.
Save room for dessert - it‘s actually worth it here.

I went there with a couple business associates of mine. The food was just under par for a "fine" dining experience. The female server, who we believe was either also the manager or owner was probably one of the worst servers we have had in a place like this. She was offensive and non attentive. Our table facing the cinderblock wall was not appealing either!
