Went there for dinner. The food was delicious and the with portions so big we had a to go box. Atmosphere was fine. Seats on the patio are plastic deck chairs but worth being able to be outside on a nice night. Note is that there are no refills on sodas. I shouldn't have assumed and asked first about the price ($2.25). Sodas are not printed on any menu. I took a chance at the price but didn't expect to pay $4.50 for two flat glasses of bar gun soda on ice. I would have appreciated a heads up from the waitress instead of "another one?"

We stopped here during the Wausau Night Markey event. After a short wait, we were seated outside, which was perfect to listen to the music and people watch. I ordered the Chilean Seabass. Wow, it was absolutely amazing. It was cooked in a paper enclosure that kept the seabass very tender and moist. Christi ordered the Ragu Bolognese which was also very good. We had a wonderful experience for an impromptu visit. Our server, Payton, was amazing and offered honest reviews of various dishes. He was attentive and very pleasant. We highly recommend this restaurant for amazing food and service.

The atmosphere was casual and inviting. The varied menu made it hard to choose which meal to try. The Chicken and artichoke was fabulous, reasonable...made you want to lick the plate! Dessert of Peach Berry Crisp was the perfect finish. Hardworking staff during trying times is to be commended. Bravo!
