I ordered the chicken Alfredo with broccoli because It has been awhile since I've had Alfredo. I paid the $3 extra for the Italian wedding soup with my entrée. I ordered the bananas foster for dessert because I couldn't pass up the opportunity! Not many restaurants have bananas fosters. I enjoyed the meal and would very much recommend dining here.

A very pleasant experience all around. I was skeptical by the negative reviews until I tried it myself and to be honest I think there's just too many Karen's in this world because everything I ate was delicious

After a long evening church service we arrived about 9:15. Lucky they close at 10 on a Saturday. Service was still great and very friendly. This was on the way back to the hotel and I like the big pink stand alone building. You can't help but notice it. It was a cool evening and our meal came with a discounted soup. It's a good size bowl. I had minestrone and Basil got Italian wedding. Both were hearty and delicious. I got spaghetti and meatballs. It comes with a meat sauce and I was surprised at the pieces of tomato in it. It was very good but the stand out was the meatballs. They reminded me of upstate NY in the 60's and 70's. The old family restaurant recipes. First they were huge and super soft and fork tender. The real shock was the flavor. It wasn't spicy at all. Just basic which is the way it's supposed to be. Basil got the lasagna. I had one bite and I would make an exception and definitely order this. The bread I wish was normal size instead of a sliced up baguette, cause it was really good. We slathered it with butter and sent back the oil. The chocolate mousse type dessert looked fabulous but we were too full and didn't want to alter the taste in our mouths. I was telling the front desk clerk at Best Western all about it I was so impressed. Turns out she's a close friend of the owner. If you're in the dells definitely make a detour here.
