Went here for my fiancés birthday and we were very pleased with our dining experience. The fresh claw chowder was one of the best I’ve ever had honestly. Great menu selection, all proteins were cooked to perfection. The staff went about and beyond, very well managed establishment. We will definitely be back!

We went with my father-in-law, brother and sister-in-law. The drinks were good. The meal was very good. The only thing that was off was my wife's shrimp which were a bit overcooked. The rest of the food was all well received and made well. The service was very attentive and accommodating. The grasshopper at the end of the evening was enormous and delicious! It was a very nice time, and we all enjoyed!

Did not have a good experience. It was very crowded and it seemed as though they just crammed tables in wherever they could fit them. Hostess was not sure of what she was doing at all. The ambience is lacking and it is extremely loud. The server was doing her best but the restaurant obviously allows too many reservations or patrons to allow the servers to do their job and provide a nice dining experience. The sides were overcooked, the fish was very salty. One of the four of us ordered scallops that came out cold and we were unable to get the attention of a server to take them back to heat up. One of us ordered the walleye which was good. Hope they can do better in the future.

Went for my birthday and everything was top notch. I can't say enough!!! Ivy the hostess so kind and great personality our waitress I think her name was Rachel was superb and the food was phenomenal. I ordered pan fried Walleye and pan seared scallops and garlic mashed potatoes. Delicious!!! The bread and pickles they give are so yummy thought I could resist the bread but oh no it's warm and so good. The clam chowder was so good too. Great place and will be back soon!!

Looking for a fish fry on my last Friday of filming in Wisconsin near where I would be camping & I found this little gem. The wait staff kindly seated me @ the bar while they prepped the tables for the evening. I went straight for the cod & shrimp special (I chose pan-fried cod & beer batter shrimp) with garlic mashed potatoes & the New England clam chowder for my soup. The toasted bread that they brought as they seated me was a nice dense bread for the butter & complemented the meal nicely. It was a delicious and very filling meal and made my OMAD (One Meal A Day) worth it. Had a few mashed potatoes and a little bread left over for tomorrow.

This restaurant reminded me of childhood family restaurants. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. If you have a chance to meet Ivy, your experience is even better. I highly recommend the battered walleye. But you absolutely need to save room for the alcoholic ice cream dessert.

Excellent food and service. Exactly what you expect from a Wisconsin supper club. It was a little loud, but otherwise perfect. We will be back.
