1. Tongue in Cheek

We went to Tongue in Cheek for my birthday. It is a small but funky venue so make reservations! My husband and son each tried a “one bite” appetizer that were flavor explosions! Then we shared the veggie inspired thai salad (will totally get that again!!) and pork tacos. Great combination of flavors! My son got a burger which he also thoroughly enjoyed and he is also “a foodie”. He loved the made to order non-alcoholic beverages and I enjoyed the cocktail flight! So unique and very different tastes! Definitely recommend!

We really like Porterhouse. Quiet warm atmosphere and friendly faces. Service is excellent. Reservations suggested. Ribeye was awesome. I really enjoyed it. A few of us had walleye which they said was great and one of us had the beef tenderloin appetizer. Also, the spinach salad with warm bacon dressing was outstanding.

We used to come here often. No more. Something has changed recently. The wings were awful. Not done, poorly flavored in more than one style....watery and weird. Many of the ones we used to order have been discontinued. It was NOT a good experience. The guy behind the counter was super nice and helpful but the wings were really bad. It's expensive in the first place but then to throw them out....Nope.

Saturday early evening found the place not busy, but it filled up as night progressed. But, first, the entrance area could be improved. We parked in adjacent garage but lighting is poor between there and the restaurant, and an incline on the drive entry with some compacted snow made for unsure footing; we were taking an 89 year old friend out. (Determined later than there is a sidewalk and steps adjacent to garage, but lighting too poor to notice and walk poorly shoveled; I think this is a City ramp so this is not on the restaurant.) Then, we were not sure how to enter the restaurant, and this is on them. Entrance is on the garage side but no evident signage to direct us.
But the food was wonderful, and that is really why we came. The bolognese was just great and the fish specials were also. Squash soup and salads done well, too. On the expensive side, our meal for three came to $165 with 2 glasses of wine.
We were seated upstairs in the back, which was fine, except it was noisy. Would suggest adding something to help muffle sound, which just bounces off the hard surfaces.
5. Catrinas Grill

After reading reviews, I thought this place was worth checking out. We went early on a Saturday evening. Not knowing what to order, we split a steak quesadilla and chips with guacamole. The chips were not crispy (the way I like them) and the guacamole had too much lime or lemon juice. I love a good guacamole, but this was not good. On the brighter side, the workers there were pleasant and helpful. They had a nice range of salsas as well.

Every time I come here I find something else to appreciate. Food is always good, always served hot, and served with some of the friendliest staff you'll find anywhere. Usually I order a juicy lucy but tried a pork sandwich instead which was deliscous. Onion rings were exceptional as well!

Loved the Baked Mostaccioli with italian sausage. They have a modest wine list but it did have a nice cabernet sauvignon. Service was very attentive. Donatelli's is always busy so be prepared for a short wait for a table/booth. The decor is quite casual but the food makes up for it.

Great service and attention from staff with requests. Shrimp salad had the perfect amount of spice and chicken wrap with fries was inhaled.
