About The Retreat

The Retreat is a lively and loud restaurant, especially on Thursdays after work. Customers should expect long wait times, sometimes up to 45 minutes, and service that may suffer due to waitresses having too many tables. However, the food is described as good, which helps make up for the lengthy wait times. Visitors are advised not to go during peak hours.

On a Sunday afternoon, the experience was more positive, with a short 5-minute wait for a table for a party of eight. The service was attentive, with the waitress promptly taking drink orders and delivering hot and crispy appetizers like the sampler platter and fried calamari. The main courses, including Buffalo chicken salad and sour braten, were generally well-received, although a couple of the sandwiches were a bit cold. Overall, the service was praised as the highlight of the visit.

In another visit, one diner's open steak was cold, while the wife's Wisconsin rib eye was cooked just right. The cold steak was refunded, but the diner plans to return to the restaurant. Recently, a guest enjoyed what they claimed was the best Ruben sandwich they have had in a long time, although the fries were disappointing. Another group of four found their beef sandwiches and fish dinners delicious, marking it as one of their favorite places. Additionally, a family celebrated a 90th birthday in a private room, where the manager, Maria, was praised for her assistance, especially in accommodating a picky eater. The meals were delivered hot and delicious, making The Retreat a recommended spot for casual meals and celebrations.
