"This was our first time coming and we really had high hopes. We looked at the menu online and were really excited about ceviche, shrimp and grits, and a couple other dishes. When we got to the restaurant, the menu was entirely different. To the point that if the updated menu was online we probably wouldn 't have come. We chose to sit outside because the bluegrass fest was going on and the waitstaff was helpful and friendly. It was kind of annoying that they had their own music playing on the patio instead of letting the music from the fest be the centerpiece.The only thing we actually like that we ordered was the corn chowder. It was so flavorful and good. We ordered the thai chicken meatballs...they were very bland and the presentation was kinda unappealing.. balls of meat with a weird pickle slapped on top. I ordered the lasagna....I did not know it was possible to make a bad lasagna. This one has 30 layers of mushy pasta, dry cheese, and sauce that was just kind of poured over the top scantily. I had about 5 bites and decided that it wasn 't worth eating because it literally had no taste to it. I would have rather had frozen lasagna than this. My friend ordered the braised beef...sirloin with mushroom and some sort of risotto. Unfortunately it tasted like microwave on-cor Salisbury steak and the risotto reminded us of oatmeal mixed with sausage gravy. My brother had the walleye and he said it was ok . It came in a bowl on top of almond ferro salad that looked very much like rice pudding. He said it tasted like oatmeal with nuts in it.We really had high hopes for this place since it 's a little local place. We really wanted to like it. Based on the service and ambience, probably would definitely come back...but based on the food, unfortunately definitely not a do over."
