Customer Reviews
We had the absolute best time at 218 last night! Not only was the food fantastic, but the service was even better. My son loved the BBQ sauce for his chicken so much, they packaged up some for at home! Its the small things that make such a big impact. Will absolutely be coming back.
WONDERFUL FOOD, great vibe, everything done to perfection. We had, French onion soup Bruschetta appetizer and for entrees the chicken parmesan and the chicken cordon bleu. It was phenomenal. Can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu
This was some of the BEST food we have ever had. Our waitress was phenomenal and super sweet, the restaurant was clean and very welcoming, but whoever they have in the kitchen - HOLY COW YALL ROCK! You can tell their chefs put thought and soul into their dishes. I doubt much of anything comes out of a can at this place! 10/10 we will definitely be eating here again!!
The food here is high quality served in a cozy casual environment. We visited on a Thursday night, it was busy but seating available right away. We each ordered the pistachio crusted walleye dinner because it sounded so good! And it was very good! It was hard to decide since many of the menu items looked like great choices. The only negative comment we can make is the wait staff that served us were entirely too hands off, unfriendly and slow. So much so, another wait staff noticed and checked in on us and helped us get our tab a this person was bubbly and polite - very pleasant. We ended up tipping both of them as the one who stepped in went above and beyond! The staff issue wouldn’t keep me from coming back. We all can have a bad night and I chalk it up to the one inattentive serv
Delicious food, great staff, great atmosphere. 10/10 I would go back, and I plan to. 👍
