They make their own ketchup but I don’t like it. Try all the other sauces to dip your fries in. I like the aioli sauces to dip. Get a small size fry because they portions are huge! Everything is a la cart!

You have to try desserts here! My favorite is the bread pudding! Get it warmed with vanilla ice cream! One portion can easily serve two or three! The chocolate martinis are so decadent!!!! The worst thing about this place is deciding what dessert to eat. This place only serves desserts and drinks.

2201 Shields Lake DrTake some stale bread or crackers to feed the geese and ducks. If it’s nice weather rent a paddle boat to get better views is the water. There’s a concession area to purchase food and snacks but I’m not sure of the hours it’s open. It would also be fine to bring a picnic to eat on the public tables. If you’re looking for a romantic but fun adventure, and this is a good spot too!
