Lovely evening on the rooftop. This was our first meal here. With the blackened red snapper and tuna tartare coupled with the warm evening breeze, I could close my eyes and imagine I was sitting on a beach somewhere. Definitely a gem to have. The food was amazing. We enjoyed that the server didn't bother us every couple of minutes like an insecure people pleaser. Be confident in your product and leave it at that. This comes from reading the handful of negative reviews for dinner entertainment. Some people will never be satisfied. I speak as someone who has traveled many places in this world. We have a special gem in Wausau. Parking has improved from last year when we came for drinks. I also checked on their gluten free awareness should I bring my mother here. They are aware and will be happy to work with this dietary need.

Update June 2024: We arrived at 8:30pm on a Sunday night. It took several minutes to get seated. We were told to sit wherever we want. No one came to our table. They didn't even appear very busy. Maybe shorthanded? We ended up leaving. Another time we were here and they ran out of gluten free buns. I requested a lettuce bun and got tiny pieces of lettuce. I asked for bigger pieces of lettuce but by the time they came most of my burger was gone. No apology or money taken off the bill. The bun is what makes the plant-based burger good and I wasn't told about them being out until well after I ordered. Old review: My wife is vegan and got the ginger sesame tofu and, while it's incredibly difficult to make a vegan meal tasty, they really pulled it off!! I had a veggie burger and it was the best I've ever had x100. Service was fast and great. Prices are, in my opinion, very cheap for the quality of food here
