Food was very good. We had the Airline Chicken, & it was very good, not dry at all, even though it was a breast. My partner had the salmon, that was also very nice. Service was very good, bartenders were nice& prompt. Our dinner server , Shawntelle took our order by memory (no notepad) , & got it all delivered perfectly. We ate here both nights at the hotel, & really enjoyed it!! The hotel social hour was a huge bonus, 2 drinks per hotel guest each night. Very nice perk!! The snacks offered with the drinks were marginal, but that was fine.

Date dinner with my wife. We stopped in to see if this was any good and boy where we pleasantly surprised. My wife ordered the “Low Country Shrimp and Grits” this was hands down the best grits outside of the south you can get. I had the OG burger which was also really tasty. Highly recommend this hidden gems in Rockford whether you are staying at the Embassy Suites or not.

First time here. Please see by my other reviews that I do not tend to be a negative reviewer, and prefer to lift local businesses. That said, my experience here was disappointing and for the service received, can't see myself returning. Saw the venue offered trivia, which tends to bring us in to new places. No complaints here, the trivia dj was welcoming and trivia was fun. Had a reservation. The host seemed a little confused and tried to sit us at a table that was too small for our party. Ordered a draft beer that was on the menu, and a water. Was brought a bottled beer that was not on the menu with no mention of the substitution, and no water. Ordered a salad - one main ingredient in the salad was not available and a cheaper sub was offered. Was also offered a protein for the salad, including chicken. My companion ordered a chicken cutlet dish (Chick This Out) and was told that kind of chicken was not available - even though I was just offered chicken for my salad. Which makes me wonder why the kitchen couldn't just use the available chicken breast for my companion's dish. For the cost of these meals, I was a bit taken aback. Our party of 5 earned a 20% mandatory tip, which

Anthony, excellent job making us feel welcome. Got me covered with the rye manhattan. Spot on! Recommended local favorites and caterered to our every desire. Appetizers were spectacular. Loved the Seoul Bites!

Great food honestly everyone loved their dishes for the most part! The cheese curds were the best cheese curds I’ve had in my life and I am usually NOT a cheese curds person. The cornbread was on the drier side however and extremely crumbly. I will say perhaps the prices are a smidge too high? food itself was great. Me and one other person got full just sharing the cheese curds so there’s definitely enough of the portion; environment is quaint and dimly lit with some fun art and colors around. Their menu is diverse and there are gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options as well. I would say all the dishes are shareable so because of that the price per head is pretty reasonable
