Bonaparte Retreat: Bonaparte, Iowa

Good food at a reasonable price! We loved the look of the inside of the restaurant! Rustic charm! Delightfully old-fashioned!

Amazing food & very friendly staff! My only complaint is that it is so quiet in there, so whenever anyone else is talking I can’t hold my own conversation or be a part of my personal conversation. Otherwise, seriously one of the best places to eat!

Also be prepared, there is a BIG price difference between lunch & dinner & the menu does change, but you’re able to ask for the lunch menu (with lunch menu pricing) if need be.

So much good food!! No way to leave hungry!! The dinner comes with soup, salad, pan bread and all that before your huge meal comes. The appetizers are all so good! Love the fried green beans. By the time I get through the appetizers, soup and salad I am so stuffed. And then comes the entree. Everything is so amazing. Never had anything bad. Come hungry!!!

Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, fun times. Each dinner comes with soup, salad, fried bread, and croutons. We had 10 at our table on a Thursday night, we were about the only ones there.

We love eating there when we are in the area. It is built in an old grist mill.

Very romantic setting, beautiful views and lovely decor. Very friendly and welcoming staff. We had our meal with candle light style. Food was very delicious and filling. I was somewhat bummed out that the shrimp, oysters and scallops are all deepfried. Overall great experience and will be returning!
