We were heading to an event at the Wells Fargo arena. This was the perfect dinner spot. We were sat at our reservation time. Our server was helpful and friendly. Ordered cheese curds as an appetizer. He had a chicken wrap/fries. I had a harvest salad w grilled chicken. We both drank water but ordered a mango drink from the bar. With tip our bill was about $100. The food was decent, drink was good and the service was great. We really liked being able to take the skywalk from the hotel to the arena. I would eat here again.
