  You will not find better food in the QC. Seasonal menus, great wine and beer selection, and knowledgeable staff all make this place a must.  Chef Robert is not afraid to think outside the box when it comes to high end cuisine.  With that being said, if you are looking for a big city dining experience in a beautiful small town, this is the place you need to be.

  Best thing about our meal was my one glass of wine, Peterson Red Zin.  This place used to be good, but sadly, something is off. For example, weird combinations such as grilled peaches on tiny $9 salads with undetectable amounts of tasteless dressing.  Grilling bland peaches doesn't improve flavor or make it 'good' exotic.  My undercooked, under-seasoned mahi-mahi was topped with zucchini and wrapped in some kind of pork casing, in my book, casing is inedible, unappealing, and zucchini offers zero flavoring.  It was amusing that, when asked, the staff seemed reluctant to inform me my fish was wrapped in pork 'casing.'  This is an expensive SWING-and-a (miserable) MISS.

  Food was really good.  Agreed that they need to get together with the servers to understand what they are serving and learn to romance the offerings.

  New owners are really stepping it up at the Faithful Pilot!  Very good upscale menu that just came out last night.  Great pasta, steak and seafood!  Extensive wine list.  You need to check this out!

  Was visiting Le Claire and went here after a friend recommended it.  I would have to say I was very impressed.  I had the Pan seared duck breast special.  It was cooked to perfection and the restaurant was very accommodating when I asked to substitute the side item.

  Went for dinner last evening and the food was fine and in some cases excellent.  Waitress was perky and attentive, but they still need to work on the details.  It is rough around the edges - literally and figuratively.   I am hopeful and try to focus on just the food.  They need to remember they are not playing the "whole in the wall card, with great food".

  We went there for Sunday Brunch.  Very good food, attentive staff, and we received our food quickly.  We will go back!

  Excellent Food and friendly staff.  They have a good wine selection and like to feature unusual wines from their online wineshop.
