Loved the menu and so glad they take reservations for our small group of two couples. Dinner at 8pm worked great and we chose to start with delicious signature cocktails. Then for our entree we ordered the Greek shrimp pasta special and the Salmon with fresh asparagus. We topped the experience off with a creamy creme brulee and a tangy lemon blueberry cake. The staff were wonderfully and we'll be back!
Fresh homemade food in a comfy cafe. Stopped here while on a road trip and glad we did! Easy parking.
La Rana is a staple in Decorah. Beautiful local organic vegetables, a large variety of entrees to choose from, delicious desserts. The staff is friendly and helpful. Limited seating, but I rather have that than having people crammed in that you're bumping elbows.
I love this little bistro gem. It has been my favorite for decades. It's a small place and exceptionally cozy with the mouth watering fragrances from the open kitchen wafting through the air. Their staple Tomato Basil soup is my favorite I've rarely been disappointed by one of their pasta offerings. Great place for intimate conversation and laughs.
Nice cozy restaurant with great ambiance and friendly staff. Food was extremely good, fresh, and used locally sourced ingredients. Definitely recommend.
