Great experience from start to finish. The outdoor seating was nice, and the building was beautifully built/decorated both inside & out with a real historic charm and gorgeous stained glass throughout. The food & service were absolutely fantastic, with decent portions, and very reasonably priced for the quality of food (especially these days). I tried their 12oz Ribeye with sautéed mushrooms & onions, steamed veggies, & Caesar salad. My steak was both seasoned and cooked perfectly, one of the best steaks I've had at a restaurant in a while, especially for the price. All of our food & drinks were fantastic. The only 2 small frustrations were that it took a while to get our check, and some of the wooden chairs at the larger tables have no cushion, which was rather uncomfortable after sitting a while, especially for my grandmother. But all in all, it was still a great experience & a beautiful restaurant.

We came here from Chicago, and our server Melissa J. was absolutely wonderful! So sweet, kind, and made great suggestions. The burgers, chicken, fish, and salads were amazing. The onion rings were incredible! Some of my favorites. Love the buttery croutons on the salad. Melissa was so friendly and easy to chat with! Such a great and relaxing dinner. Will come again :)

I was pleasantly surprised with my meal!! I will say that last time I was there, it wasn't the case. Something has definitely changed here, so I'm very happy to say for the better. If you've not been in a while, try it! It was fabulous!

Old time steak house, has alot of nice display of stained glass throughout the place. I got the Steak and Chicken dinner, with side salad and cheddar bacon mashed potatoes with a Chocolate martini. Presentation was great, so was food, and to top it off I paid under $40 before tip for all this. If you are not hungry this is also a good place to grab a drink in Mishawaka.

We stopped hear as we were through town for a birthday weekend in Michigan. This place has a really cool vibe. It is a bit more dimmed down than your average restaurant. The eclectic atmosphere makes it feel like home. We started by getting drinks at the bar before being seated. The food was really good. We shared a few meals. Will definitely come back in the future.

Love this place especially for lunch. The burger special is like $10 and comes with a side. My husband loves the fries. I always get a ceasar salad with mine. Fast no nonsense service. Of course we will go back many times!
