I'm not exactly sure why the term "Speakeasy" is in the title, as this did not fit, whatsoever. When you think "bistro & speakeasy" you'd think dark & cozy atmosphere, maybe more eclectic, and this was just not it.

Upon entering, we noticed that the sign was flipped to "closed", however there were people inside, so we decided to check it out. With there being only 2 tables on a Saturday for lunch, we thought we lucked out. Our server informed us that she would be back in a few minutes. We have all worked in the service industry, and are incredibly patient.

Ten minutes later, she returns to bring menus. Ten minutes after that to take our drink order. She explained that they had a catering event earlier in the day and they are trying to get caught up. Again, completely understandable. Appreciate the communication, however we were not informed just how behind they were, or that they only had 2 people working (one cooking all of the plates, and one serving)

By the time we ordered our food, we have been there for about 40 minutes. Two other groups have walked in and out, without being greeted or approached, in the time that we waited TO ORDER. Our food was ok, but not worth the prices that we paid, or the time that we waited.

Shrimp Po' Boy on a wrap is a shrimp wrap. I could understand if you were using a type of pita bread, but a vegetable wrap or a tomato wrap, makes it a wrap.

Tuna plate was very obviously frozen tuna, which is fine when prepared correctly. They did let us know that they were out of rice chips (which is what it's generally served with), and they only had wheat thins... which seems odd for a bistro, but sometimes you work with what you got.

The Taco Hummus was completely smothered with both green and black olives, large halves of cherry tomatoes, and just did not look appetizing.

The Gouda Burger was well done & dry.

Good food. I appreciate our server Heather. Heather really worked hard. Was warm, friendly, aimed to please. . I had the smoked salmon plate w/cucumber & feta. Yummy German chocolate cake. Mom had very good amaretto salmon w/red potatoes & side salad. +hazelnut torte. [Cool that Sen. Bernie Sanders/group walked in & dined there towards the end of our meal. He was in Baraboo campaigning. ][I let him have his peace/space][I hope everyone enjoyed there meals]Saturday evening Oct 12, 2024

Parking: I parked a few doors down, but close enough. Parking worked out. Granted it's a busy Saturday nite with nearby restaurants & the AL Ringling Theater showing a movie/'Willow '.

My husband and I both had the gouda burger. It was cooked perfectly and very tasty. As others have said, it did take about 20 minutes to get our food but everything is made to order. We weren't in a hurry and didn't mind the wait. We will definitely be back when we are in town.

They weren't open when we went though this app said they would be. I was disappointed

Either they were just having a bad day when we went there for a late lunch, or they are understaffed and undertrained. Arrived about 2:30 , food was served at about 3:15. There was no update from the server during our wait. After the food arrived I was told that they were out of the side dish I ordered and offered an alternative. I was 1/3 of the way done with my meal when the alternative side dish arrived. The good news is that my shredded brisket tacos were very good. Bad news is that the food is overpriced: $14 for three small tacos and an ounce of potato chips. I'd say it should be priced under $10.

This was a nice place. It sounds like it's family-owned and the waitress was really nice. The menu has some great choices and I really enjoyed the German relish salad and the Mediterranean chicken

A very calm and chill environment. The food was well worth the wait! Friendly and casual service with a very tucked away feel to the front booths. The BBQ aioli is flawless. The menu has a good variety and they all sound exciting and delicious. I highly recommend dinning in and supporting them; try everything.

Kid-friendliness: Waitress was very kind in helping a family with small children.

The BEST food in town. Stopped in today for lunch! Outstanding! I would highly recommend. Amber has an excellent menu, and fresh choices. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️stars!

The menu has had some changes but all the food we ate and all the food that went by us looked and was delicious. Waiting for it was the problem - had a very long wait for the food but what we had was VERY good!
