    We loved every aspect of the meal except the dishes were so large we felt we were wasting food since we were leaving town the next day and couldn’t take it with us. We truly didn’t need to get an appetizer and a green salad before the entree. It was all delicious though. Brussel Sprouts appetizer was out of this world.

    My husband & I were here for our 10 yr anniversary. The hostess put us next to the kitchen 👎 Our waitress was ok, not very attentive. The food was really good. I had the rack of lamb and my husband had the ribeye. Both were a little oversauced but had good flavor. My husband's mashed potatoes were cold though 👎 It was an overall good experience because the proteins were good.

    There was a size able group several tables away from us and one of the guys(among mostly females) was unbelievably boisterous. Guess he was trying to be cute, but his voice and laughter carried far and wide.

    We had a great server -- Kurt. He was so good. Food was great. Prices are a little high. We can only come on very special occasions.

    Braised buffalo shanks were tender and tasty. Accompanying mix of thin green beans and onions was excellent. Mashed potatoes were creamy and tasty, but served a bit cold. The soup of the day was chili, which is filling and seems like an odd selection. We passed. As travelers, we could not use leftovers, so we were charged $12 for a split plate fee, which we did not feel was unreasonable. Friendly, efficient waitress. A nice place. Would visit again.

    Wait staff was friendly but table service was less than adequate leaving glasses unfilled and no offer for more. Appetizer came after dinner was served. Tenderloin dish was good. Cobb salad had generous portion of steak but request for more dressing had to be repeated multiple times. Overall disappointed for the price.

    I have eaten at Theodores many times and have always LOVED the experience. This past weekend, however, was disappointing. Perhaps there is a different chef?

    Great food, as always. The bison osso buco with mashed potatoes and asparagus is always my go-to. My wife's standard is always the walleye. We've been eating there at least once a year for the past 10+ years. The service was outstanding, friendly and always present.
