Rebecca was an amazing server. Excellent! I was here with a group of friends and everyone was amazed by her.We all ordered different entrees and everyone loved their choice.I started with the Mushroom Soup. Most mushroom soup is more watery and diluted by the addition of too much cream. This soup was an ugly brown color but was mostly mushrooms and tasted wonderful. It had tiny bits of apple on top and that went surprisingly well. My entree was the Scallops with a sweet corn risotto. Really fresh tasting and nice.Wine bottles are half priced on Tuesdays.

Fine place to dine for a weekday lunch. We were seated immediately and had a friendly waiter. Good selection of wines and beers. Pleasant setting. I enjoyed a lunch special of half chicken artichoke flatbread and mixed green salad. Fresh and tasty. My husband had a cheeseburger. It was slightly undercooked. His garlic mashed potatoes were not hot enough. The tap beer he ordered was not available. Complimentary bread was good. A bit expensive overall for what we got.

Food 4/5 - The smoked peach and bacon salad was a unique dish and so delicious! The burger did not disappoint either. Service / Ambiance 4/5 - We sat outside on the patio for a beautiful lunch. We were very pleased with how friendly wait staff was. Overall great restaurant experience!

It's hard to see a well run establishment, slowly eroding into below average as a Cocktail Bar, ( Bartenders question your choice of not eating there? ) REALLY; quite frankly I typically don't eat there, (?not a fan of the menu) it's not my personal preference, more of an Ethnic choice. Foods good, but the best of their Staff has left! It shows, but still a decent option, just not mine! I used to give it a 5 star... you decide!

Saw a movie in Burnsville and decided to grab dinner at Porter Creek. I love the ambiance. There is outdoor, porch, and inside seating - so they have you covered in any weather. TVs are on if you want to catch a game but there is also nice lighting and booths for intimate conversation. We sat on the porch on an overcast but lovely night. I ordered the spare rib and husband had the chicken sandwich. Our meals came out almost immediately. Would have liked a few minutes for drink a few sips of wine, but faster is better than too slow. My meal was good. Spare rib was like a beef roast piece. Nice and tender. Mashed potatoes were creamy and yummy and green beans were crisp and fresh. Maddie was our server and she was excellent. So nice and accommodating. Good stop.

Recently went here and my experience was far from satisfactory. My fiancé ordered the rotisserie chicken, while I opted for the skirt steak. Despite the good service, the food was disappointing. The rotisserie chicken lacked flavor, and the skirt steak was tough and bland. Overall, the meal felt more like glorified hospital food than a restaurant-quality experience.The drinks was the only good part of our meal.

This was probably the best restaurant experience we have had in the last several years.Went on a cold night and sat by the kitchen, restaurant was warm and cozy. Server was great, suggested items to try and drinks. While we waited for our food the bartender came out of the bar to check on us and food was delivered at the right pace. Follow up with us was great and manager walked around checking in.Employees seemed happy and must be treated well.Overall the cost/value exceeded our expectations. Our new go to spot for a nice evening!

Love the atmosphere. Beautiful fireplace in the dining room. Warm and cozy. Order the cod with brussel sprouts and fingerling potatoes. Don't know if it was an off night for the chef or not. The presentation look like a mess. It smelled terribly fishy when it came to the table. The brussel sprouts were hard with no flavor The apple wood bacon was non-existent. I've never had a worse looking plate of food and it tasted just as bad. I do not recommend. The flatbread I had as an appetizer was delicious.
