This is a four-star review FOR AITKIN COUNTY. I am leaning toward 3 or 3.5 stars, but given it is one of the only options in the area, I'll give it some credit. Drink selection was good: microbrews from all over the country plus a full bar.
My boyfriend and I both enjoyed our entrées, but that could be because it was the only time we went out to eat for a month. I had the reuben, a salad, and fries, and I was quite satisfied. Not sure the salad was worth $5, though. The reuben was tasty, but I wish the Thousand Island were spread on the sandwich. My boyfriend had a steak, which he enjoyed. Service was good, atmosphere was better. When I was told we could sit by the fire, I was expecting a bit more than the small gas fireplace. But the decor is cute and cozy, so I can't complain too much. Overall, a good experience.
