We had the lobster corn dogs, steak sandwich, and mac! Gorgeous place and delicious food! Steak sandwich & sweet potato fries are excellent. Josh was a great server!! Super friendly, helpful, honest, and fun to talk to! I would highly recommend the steak sandwich. I would pick the vanilla bean crème brûlée over the current butter rum, the custard is fantastic! Lobster corn dogs would be a pass for me personally but my mom enjoyed them! Can’t go wrong with Mac & cheese :)
My partner and I decided to have a Tuesday date night at The Big Lady. We started off with cocktails, an order of arancini, and a cup of soup of the day. The appetizer was a combination of cheesy, spicy, and the vibrancy of citrus?! When you combined it all into one delicious bite it was so full of flavor and comfort. For the mains, I ordered the pan fried walleye and my partner had the Osso Buco. My fish was flaky and fresh, the burnt lemon squeezed over it made it almost perfect. It could have used some flake salt, but that’s a personal preference. The braised pork shank my partner had felt like home. You could see it was made with time and love and it was truly the best bite of the evening, something we will not forget. Service was exceptional and attentive. Overall, although the pri
We have dined here for both lunch and dinner ..and both menus are incredible. A lot more fresh options with tons of flavor. Lovely staff and atmosphere. We have tried quite a few things from both lunch and dinner menus and havs found some favorites that bring us back. Lovell has served us a couple of times we have been here and he is so friendly and attentive, makes the experience even better. Highly recommend! Photos are Chilean sea bass and lobster risotto, and the tenderloin with mashed potatoes. Not pictured: the incredible Brussels sprouts we get every time we dine here!🤩
First impressions are important, and they got it right here. Service was prompt and courteous. Very clean and modern look. Food was also a very high quality. Our party shared the Brussel Sprouts app (I could have used a little more salt and pepper, but we're not supplied on the table), very tasty. My bahn mi was tasty, but not in the traditional sense of the sandwich, I like mine with a bit more funk, liver pate/braunschweiger and more pickled veggies, theirs had a more sweet tone with pepper jam. Good nonetheless
I got the Seabass with mushroom risotto and the Chocolate cherry ice cream pie and my girlfriend got the mushroom pasta and the creme brule. Entrées were really good and so was creme brule. The cherry Chocolate pie was ok. For $12 I was expecting real cherries not fake marashino cherries. That was odd tasting. Server seemed annoyed. Ill be back for sure though.
