Bluegrass was recommended to me by several friends who said it was their favorite restaurant. My friend and I agree. Bluegrass offers a wide variety of delicious food, with gourmet presentation, and adequate serving size. I ordered pecan crusted Tilapia and my friend ordered the pan seared Walleye. The staff was friendly, checked several times on how our meal and service was, and if we were satisfied. We were celebrating our birthdays and were provided with a Banana Foster to top our meal. Only criticism was the noise level. We will return and recommend to others.

Food was excellent. I had the chicken fajitas. There is enough chicken left for another whole meal. I was thrilled that the music was no longer so loud. I will be back

Loved it. The staff is attentive and friendly. The ambiance is great. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and they gave her a fantastic production to celebrate with song, a huge sombrero and sparklers. It was a great experience.
