Came here for a date night on Saturday for the first time. All of the servers/hostesses had smiling, welcoming faces. The menu is quite varied, and I think that a large group would be satisfied with the options. We decided to go all out, getting an appetizer, dinner, and dessert. The appetizer we chose was very good, jalapeno peppers stuffed with chicken and wrapped in bacon and fried. These were served on top of bluephie's 'tortilla salad', which is tortilla chips with (extra) oil and onion and peppers. This was a bit awkward to eat, but it was tasty. I had the duck tacos, which consisted of duck confit with pickled ginger slices, asian slaw, and black bean 'crema' piled into 3 flour tortillas. On the side was more 'tortilla salad' and a heaping pile of black beans. I felt as though the sides didn't really complement the asian style tacos, and there was an awful lot of liquid left on the plate from the asian slaw. I wound up eating my meal 'salad style'. All of these minor issues aside, the duck confit and slaw were fantastic. My boy had the 'wisconsin sushi' which was meat aplenty, served with mashed potatoes and lightly sauteed spinach. He was very satisfied with his dish, and licked the plate clean. For dessert we were served the largest slice of carrot cake I've ever seen. Somewhat of a carrot cake aficionado myself, this was very good and VERY moist. We took most of it home and enjoyed it the following day (still as moist as it was the previous evening). \nMy biggest complaint is that the bread served in the complimentary bread basket was clearly the same type of frozen prebaked roll you can find at the grocery store. However, the tomato/herb compound butter served alongside was quite tasty.\nThis is not 'fine dining', but the food is solid and has unique flavor combinations. The people are nice and the desserts are fantastic! We will be back to try the items we missed on the menu (quack quack--grilled duck and brie sandwich? shrimp jambalaya quesadilla? raspberry explosion?)
