The food was fine, the shrimp was better than the pasta. Sadly, the pasta didn’t have much of Cajun flavor. It was more of Alfredo. The chicken was cooked fine but it also had no flavor. The shrimp was good and had a good coconut flavor to it. The service was fine. It wasn’t a standout type of experience but it wasn’t bad. Overall, if you like beer and gambling, I would recommend it. I would try it again but just order something else. The waitress said they are known for pizza so maybe I would try that instead.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

My goodness order that steak (if you like gorgonzolla) it's phenomenal! Music was a good volume, lighting was good. Open concept feels inviting. Plenty of drink options, I had the "Fuzzy Pink Unicorns 🦄 Dancing on Rainbows 🌈", which is a sour and quite nice. Truffle fries were a good start to the meal.

One of the better bars to go to in Downtown Grand Forks. Most of their food is made freshly made, not frozen. Our favorites are the Mac N Cheese Bites, & the Crab Cakes. Their Black Truffle & Parmesan fries are wonderful as well! Staff is friendly & easy to flag down if needed. Update 3/13/2024: It's become a regular place for us to visit. Staff is always friendly & the food has never missed the mark. We've gotten the Honey Garlic Chicken on a previous visit & the Honey Garlic Salmon on our most recent visit (we had them sub in the cilantro rice & add avocado). Both are phenomenal & makes me want to try everything on the menu.
