I had reservations for my wife and I to enjoy our 20th anniversary. We arrived and they were a little busy and tried to seat us in this dark dungeon area were we couldn’t get into the little table without bumping the other couples. So the moved us to another spot that was right on top of another table. We stayed at that spot but showed our Groupon to the waiter for a discounted flight of wine for two. He said they couldn’t honor it to tonight because they were too busy (didn’t say that on the terms and conditions). We ordered our drinks and ordered a cheese platter which was sub par for $20. The waitress just dumped the platter on the table and ran without telling us what each cheese was. Lo...
we came here by chance because our first choice was packed to dinner. but it ended a pleasant surprise. it is nice to find a local restaurant that has a little more fluctuation than some of the mega chains that fill in the rule the suburbs. service was good and relatiw fast. they have a huge drink card that was nice to see. I recommend the granatapfel martini. unfortunately I did not use my entrée (the current special beef-stroganoff.) mainly because it uses “warm spices” like muskatnuss and zimt etc. I don't enjoy these aromene dressed in hearty. there is a series of things on the menu that looked good. So we want to try something else in the future.
The special small plate special was delicious. It was a sort of roll that had all types of filling--mostly Caribbean in nature--with a bit of spice. The walleye cakes are wonderful as are the truffle-parmesan fries. The Americana Burger also got a rave review from our diner who'd ordered it. And, service by Robert was everything one could ask for--cordial, prompt, and professional. And, Robert is the one who recommended the special small plate (the roll described above) and that was a great recommendation. We'll be back!
we ate here with another couple. the candied brussel sprouts appetizer was very delicious. I wasn't crazy to pay $5 for brot, but the bleu cheese butter that came with him facilitated the pain. my man and I share the truffle burger and wedge caesar salat. our waiter jonathan was attentive and patient. the food was served hot. the burger was excellent. the keilsalat was ok. big wine list, a little expensive, but overall we had a nice culinary experience. Oh yes, the riders who came with the burger were state fair good.

Food was decent. Kind of felt like home cooking though. I go out to experience something I can't do at home. I felt for $100 I could go next door and get something for $40 that was something I couldn't do and be treated better. Not bad, but needs to elevate their offerings if they want to charge these prices. Also kind of janky with a space heater and not knowing where to sit us. Felt like a typical cafe that charges robust prices. Uninspired.
No alcohol or little to no alcohol in both mine and my friends drink. Overpriced and smaller portions. Waitress wasn't very friendly. She passed by us a few times and never asked us how everything was during our entire time there. Manager was nice and asked us how we were doing but felt bad giving an honest answer.
Carbonara was flavorless per 2 in our group, small plating, served barely warm. Burger was great per 1! Flatbread average per 1. Desserts awesome per 4! All food was was barely warm per 4. Appetizers o.k. Nice quiet setting for converstion. Stick with Burger!
my man and I had a wonderful time at cravings that celebrated our jubilee. we had both flatbreads, margherita and mushroom brie, both delicious. to dessert we had the tropical Tres lick cake, one of the best desserts I ever had.

Most amazing waitress EVER! Corrine took really great care of us and has an amazing sense of humor. The food was excellent and the martinis among the best we have ever had. Highly recommend!!
the bark short rib was amazing and did not need a season. the drink menu is good, but some of the cocktails are watered down. in any case will come again.
