Editorial Review for Sunshine Factory Restaurant – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Divided into two sides--the bistro and the restaurant--the Sunshine Factory's dual personality may explain its enduring popularity. The restaurant side boasts dark wood, white tablecloths and generous portions. It's a bit more refined than the casual, family-friendly bistro. The bistro's loyal clientele take over the outdoor deck at the first sign of melting snow. Juicy prime rib and crumb-coated walleye are the restaurant's signature dishes. The bistro's innovative menu offers walleye sandwiches andgrilled chicken-raspberry salad.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

After reading a couple other reviews we were concerned about the service but decided to try it anyway based on the food recommendations. We were pleasantly surprised with attentive service from staff, and the food was a good as we had hoped for. Wait staff was polite, quick, and responsive, including when sending a steak back for a bit more atttention. Wild rice soup was creamy and thick. Walleye with cracker crumb crust, shrimp, sirloin steaks were all well-prepared, lightly seasoned. Broccoli was served as a large, bright green bouquet with a side of creamy chicken sauce. Another school district staffer leaving the place said the salmon special was excellent.

Pros: prompt, friendly service, good food

Cons: skimpy salad

We love sunshine factory. The kid's meal are the best quality and a great value for the money. There is a wonderful variety and the food is always very tasty. We go often and never get sick of it.
