“Our first time here and certainly won’t be the last. The atmosphere is perfect. Upscale menu with an approachable feel. Decor matches the menu perfectly. Danielle, the GM, gave us the perfect welcome. I wish I remembered our server’s name, as she was delightful and incredibly helpful. The Wisconsin old fashioned was recommended to us — and for good reason. They also had a few Athletic n/a beers, which is always appreciated. We started with the cheese curds and a half dozen charbroiled oysters. Wow, both were incredible. My husband had the pork shank with au gratin mushrooms per our server’s recommendation. Both were great, but he couldn’t get over how perfectly prepared the pork was. I was between a few choices and settled on the lobster roll. It was warm and buttery — truly melt in your mouth perfection. The salt and vinegar fries were a great side, though I was too full to put a dent in them. Our server showed us the dessert menu, and boy, I wish we had room. The pull tabs were such a fun addition to the experience. We can’t wait to return.“

“Forgotten items 4 times in a row for to go. Manager guaranteed to issue a credit last time, said he would follow up but never did. My last order for to go was paid for with a gift card from corporate on Dec 7th, and yet another (premium) side was missing, and the rice had a hair in it (Definitely not one of ours). Eat in experience may be different, but to go is horrible.“

“Went tonight for dinner and had a great time. There was a little bit of a wait, so we decided to sit at the bar. Our bartender was the best part of the night. Her name was Alliane and she was awesome. Not only did she do great waiting on us, she was constantly helping the new employees and giving them tips on how to be the best server. She also introduced some new drinks to us that were delicious. (not sure what it was called but tasted like a dum-dum sucker.) And of course food was phenomenal! Can't wait to come back.“
