in the last weekThe best canal park has to offer. Very elevated with an italian/asian fusion vibe. Similar cuisine and food options compared to Lake Superior Brewing Co. Will have to float between the two to find who comes out on top.

in the last weekReo the bartender was a fantastic mixologist! Our wine pairing was dead on, as well as the Negroni and martini. The mushroom dish was out of this world. The black is was to die for.. ga

3 weeks agoWhat a chef! Some of the most flavorful food I've had in my life, and that is no exaggeration. I can be a harsh critic - this food was phenomenal. Definitely a bit spendy, and the portion sizes are smaller than you typically see at restaurants, but you aren't paying for the amount of food. You're paying for the quality and flavor. I will absolutely be coming back. We spent about $150 for one appetizer, two entrees, and a few drinks. We had a reservation, which I would recommend since it's not a very large restaurant. Wait staff were very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was top tier. 10/10 experience. Thank you Lake Avenue!
