    If you are in lacrosse this place is a must to check off the list of places to eat! and if you do go, get the prime rib, definitely worth it and i m not a huge prime rib kinda guy but this place is a whole other level!! salad bar is great, drinks were flowing and the atmosphere was oozing train nostalgia. thank you for a great dinner and experience!

    This was by far the best place we went while in la crosse! would have never guessed the quality food and service from the outside! we got there right as it opened and already was booked solid but we ate at the bar, this was still a great experience, the bar tender was really great and very helpful! we had the prime rib and that was excellent. great sides, the clam chowder was excellent and very good garlic toast! we have already made plans to come back again next visit to la crosse!

    One review mentioned:

    Its a little bit pricey for a buffet. steak was kinda cold. it was good but just wasnt hot. nice variety of food, salad, and dessert. friendly staff, and there was not a wait. only 1 suggestion would be to have 2 people at the front instead of 1. one to ring you up and one to seat you. the young lady was doing both. beautiful view across the street of the eagles watching.

    One review mentioned:

    I am writing from my table after one of the best chain restaurant experiences ever. it was really busy on arrival. i was certain that it would be a long wait. we were seated immediately! the person seating us, grabbed us bread and butter on the way to our table. within 30 seconds of sitting down, our server lexy comes by and gets our drink and appetizer order. lexy had just the right amount of friendliness with incredible efficiency. sometimes a server is friendly, but conversations drag on when you are really hungry. she talked and joked, then went and grabbled our food. the food came out so quick. a manager came by and checked on us. service was absolutely a 10/10! the food is worthy of its own paragraph! steak was exquisitely cooked to order. the salad was fresh and the ranch was awesome! oh! i forgot to mention the bread and butter. so unbelievably good! i could have just eaten that and been fine, i m glad i continued on. the cactus blossom onion was delicious. the sauce for the onion was a cajun horseradish. i generally would not try that. i m glad that i did! the ribs literally fell off the bone, but maintained their firmness. the flavor was something not typically found in a chain restaurant. i could go on much longer, but i don t want to bore everyone. i recommend this restaurant to any of my fellow carnivores! 10/10!!!! when i get back to california, i will try a location or two out there to see if it holds true across the country. i hope it does!

    One review mentioned:

    I enjoyed every part of this meal. we had a reservation at 7:30, arrived about 25 minutes early and were seated right away. our server was friendly, attentive but not overwhelming. he timed putting our orders in very well so our food wasn t on top of each other. we were there for almost an hour and a half just enjoying our food and never felt rushed. it was nice to be on italian time and enjoy the meal. we started with an appetizer and a salad. both fresh and full of flavor. then we each ordered a pasta dish. i love that the menu changes with the season and that they use local ingredients. the restaurant is on the upstairs of piggy s and is fairly small, which makes it feel more intimate. you don t need to be super dressed up as it felt fancy but casual. they chef would come out and cut fresh prosciutto for one of the dishes throughout the night on one of the tables; it was fun to watch throughout the meal. we ended our night with a lemongrass gelato. overall a really delicious meal for a good price. we were able to take home leftovers. entrance is through piggy s and upstairs to the right via stairs or elevator.

    Best restaurant in town! fabulous food and great atmosphere. make sure to arrive early to wait for a table because they fill up quickly and allow reservations for 6+ people. the food is always delicious and can accommodate my gluten free and dairy free needs while keeping my family happy too. my son absolutely loves joan and asks to go there to see her regularly. i would like to see some new additions to the menu but the current menu are classic gems done perfectly. perfect for a family dinner, date night, friends meetup or any occasion. service has always been great and attentive. already looking forward to our next visit.
