Best KPortal Reviews
Nice little hidden gem with great food and great service. Classy place with unique atmosphere and art on the walls (Picasso). Good music in the background for ambience.
We were just driving through Harlan on our way to St. Joseph & Atchison and stopped for supper on Friday night.
The food was great. I would highly recommend the tomato basil soup. Fantastic.
We both had fish tacos which were very good.
Carrot cake for dessert.
Reasonable portions (especially the soup and dessert) and fair prices.
Highly recommend this restaurant. Excellent service as well.
Came in to celebrate a birthday. Restaurant had 2 other patrons. We brought in a small cake to celebrate after we ate. The owner immediately said, "they would charge us $7 a plate to have cake (we brought) after we ate." Are we in California??? No, in a restaurant in small town Iowa with no business trying to nickel and dime customers to keep the doors open. How pathetic!! Now, to the food, ordered the cheeseburger for $18, which was Happy Meal size portions. Beautiful presentation until I picked it up. The burger was on a pretzel bun (possibly to try and soak up the grease from the burger). The bottom bun was so greasy it was like it was dipped in au jus. Ordered the burger medium rare and was char broiled. Both burger meals ordered were the same greasy way. Another guest had the fish, and the spicy seasoning on it was like eating lava. Their were streaks on the glasses, and I had to track down the staff to get a refill. The bottom line is that this place is pretending to be high-end and serving very low quality food with piss poor service. I give every place I review a fair chance, but You Get What You Give!!! You were rude, and your food was terrible and overpriced by long shot. Save your money and eat elsewhere.
We had a wonderful dinner experience here. The atmosphere was nice and quiet without a wait. The hostess and waitress provided excellent service as we continued to get our glasses filled with water.
I highly recommend this cute little romantic place. I would also highly recommend placing a reservation, we got lucky and had one table left. Food was amazing and full of flavor. Service was super friendly. Plenty of parking.
Higher end restaurant for the town, they do have a kids menu so we decided to go for lunch. The bread plate was okay but the kids did not like the pesto, and the edges were a little dark/charred for my taste but still decent. The salmon tasted excellent but the texture was a little chewy/hard edges. Veggies and potato sides were awesome. ???? The kids had chicken tenders and felt some pieces were a little too grisly, but they loved the fries. Was a good experience, definitely recommend a cocktail and the lemon water is very refreshing.
Outstanding restaurant in small town Iowa. Food was perfectly prepared and seasoned well. Atmosphere was quiet and personal. I was a little under dressed, but felt welcome. Music playing in the background was relaxing. Service was great, very attentive. Best food I've had in a long time. Great date night restaurant. Will definitely be back.
First time dining here. The food was fabulous! There were 4 of us and we each ordered something different so we could try each others as well as our own. Grilled prawns with cheddar jalapeño polenta and coconut prawns were cooked perfectly and were delicious. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was very laid back and comfortable. Will definitely recommend this place to friends and family!
This was our second visit. The restaurant did not disappoint. Beef medallions, grilled to perfection and the grilled zucchini with balsamic sauce and blue cheese, so good! Also enjoyed fettuccine Alfredo on this visit.
