Amazing experience! We were told by waiter Shawn that the walleye was their specialty. He was spot on! Fabulous! And Shawn is so personable, provided perfect service and just made the experience! Any chance we have to return— we will!
Stopped in for a midweek business dinner with friends and Shawn crushed it with the service - even working the bar at the same time! But not only was the service superb but the food was EXCELLENT! While our friends ordered the walleye and steak, my wife ordered the special of the day: a baked AND grilled chicken on a bed of rice with the tastiest curry we've ever had. I ordered the shrimp tacos BUT WAIT ... Substituted with baked walleye - absolutely heavenly along with the crispiest sweet potato tacos Definitely will be returning again for another amazing meal & great service
PROS: Amazing food quality paired with the most welcoming service. The atmosphere falls a bit short of the food quality and service. I couldn't resist ordering Minnesota's flagship food: the walleye. It was extremely fresh and cooked to perfection! Perfect choice, highly recommended. CONS: Pricey place. I paid $67 for my walleye, including a beer, tax and tip. Not for amateurs.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
