There's a cocktail lounge just upstairs that, on the night I went, had a guy playing the guitar and singing. The volume was perfect/appropriate for still having a conversation with company. Great furnishings and detail to the room as well as good drinks. Dinner was the same. Food was excellent, staff was attentive, and the room is nicely appointed.
Ambiance and food are really nice.Other than these, the service is priceless!Jen is going to welcome you with a big smile and coffee at 7:30 am in aSunday morning. Thank you ?

Food A- my food was amazing, but my friend's eggs were over cooked. Which for a 5 diamond restaurant should be a no brainer. :( Service B+ Ambiance A+++++. It's so gorgeous!!

Pre-Covid, my family booked a Christmas Eve Buffet Dinner in the Wisconsin Room that was the most fabulous dinner we've ever had: lobster corn bisque soup, salmon mousse crackers, smoked salmon, crab deviled eggs, charcuterie board with smoked meats and cheeses, lobster salad crostini, cocktail shrimp, oysters, Caesar salad, scallop linguini, shrimp and noddle stir fry, prime rib, white fish, perch, potatoes, asparagus, mahi mahi, sea bass, couscous, orange and dark chocolate macaroons, lemon meringue, chocolate tiramisu with raspberry drizzle, fig tarte with gold flakes and a pumpkin dessert. Everything was fabulous, lots of options to choose from and there were customizable stations to ensure you got exactly what you wanted! This year, I wanted to recreate that dining experience, and I booked what I was assured was essentially the same thing, just prix fixe for Christmas Eve; however, the menu was not available ahead of time, and I was told that the regular menu was available for the same price. The first two courses were fabulous: the starter was a pumpkin apple soup and the second was sea diver scallops in butternut squash puree. The third course was a steak fillet with carrots and potato pave. The fillet was cooked to order, but the dish itself was a little cold, and the potato pave was inedible - it was so potent of garlic and salt that you couldn't taste potato in the dish at all. The dessert course was a gingerbread cake with what seemed like a cheesecake filling, hard toffee topping in place of frosting and cranberry sorbet. I have no idea what someone was thinking putting those flavors together because they didn't pair well and wasn't executed very well either. The prix fixe was $110 a person, which would be fair, if the meal met the same quality we were expecting from years past. My Dad took a look at the dessert menu from the prix fixe menu and decided that he wasn't interested, so he ordered off the regular menu instead. Main dishes do not come with anything what-so-ever. Side salad, potato, and dessert were all a la carte, which made for quite the expensive dinner, not "the same price" that I was told over the phone; not the end of the world but a $500 bill for 3 people seems a little steep, even for fine dining, when 2 out of the three aren't drinking alcohol. He ordered prime rib eye, which he said was okay - more of a smoked prime rib instead of a rotisserie style, if you're into that. Our waitress was personable and we really quite liked her; it was just the uncomfortably long waits between dishes that was off-putting, but I don't believe it was her fault. I think the kitchen may have just been slow. It did not seem busy, since most of the tables around us were empty, and the tables that were occupied were largely socializing and had finished their full meals substantially earlier. Our dining reservation wasn't even until 8pm so we didn't actually finish our meal until 10-10:30pm. The dining room itself was decorated very festively with trees and lights in the entryway, and the centerpieces were simple but elegant. In the past, there has been live music in the waiting area, and we were disappointed that we missed that this year. There was no one at coat check, so I hung our coats myself, which was fine but again takes away from the experience, when I know there's an attendant. Overall, I would not return unless they brought the buffet back. I thought it was overpriced and mediocre at best.

Did not have the best experience at the Wisconsin room last night. First, we ordered bread, salad and soup for appetizers (none of which required cooking) and it took over an hour for it to be delivered to the table. We also realized there was a little ant problem in our corner of the restaurant - ants on our table and we found one crawling on my husband. Finally, we ordered the sea bass ceviche - which was a major mistake. They used all of the dark fish flesh to make our ceviche and it was awful. So tough and completely lacking flavor. The steak and soup we had were tasty. At the end of the meal we spoke to management about a few of the issues and were shocked when they didn't go anything to compensate. Probably won't eat here again.

Everything you would expect from such a professional, clean, fine dining room experience. The staff was both professional and friendly. We asked many questions, and our server fielded everything she could and deferred to the chef for those she couldn't and returned with a quick, informed response.
Pre-covid, during our last family dinner at the Wisconsin Room, we had the best duck breast with a cherry sauce that we had ever tasted. The duck was cooked and cut perfectly and the sauce was tangy and fruity without being too sweet. So, we know that you can get an excellent meal from here when they make good menu choices and provide good service. Last week, however, our meals were haphazard, inconsistent and poorly served with only a few things done well. Our bruschetta appetizer was served on cold toast that had obviously been made in advance, not toasted immediately prior to serving or reheated. The mushrooms and goat cheese toppings were nicely done but lacked creativity. The butternut squash soup tasted good but the heavy cream dominated the squash flavors too much. A better choice could have been to make a vegan version of the soup that focused more on the flavors of the squash with complimentary spices and/or herbs. For instance, on their dinner menu, they have a Purée of Pear and Sunchoke Soup, which exemplifies what could have been possible. We all felt that our sea bass and walleye mains were cooked perfectly and tasted good but could have been served with a more vibrant sauce or more spices/herbs. All the sides, mashed potatoes, sage dressing, green beans and cranberry sauce, were done well and they had a good selection of red wines, which accompanied our food perfectly. As for the desserts, the Chocolate Entremet was tasty but the Apple Tart was very disappointing as it was served cold. Again, we don't know why they didn't bother to reheat it before serving it or if it just hadn't been served in a timely manner. Overall, our meal took much longer than expected and we had to wait around 30-40 minutes in between courses. We even had to ask for our bread to be served, which we did after seeing a larger group that sat down at the same time as us receive theirs 15 minutes prior to us. The other table seemed to be getting everything served before we did and their dinner was much better paced than ours. We spent over $300 and our experience was definitely not worth that, though we still loved visiting the American Club and seeing all the great traditional holiday decor.

My husband and I went there yesterday for a breakfast. I had egg Benedict with salmon and my husband had Wisconsin room omelet. The food was delicious. The egg Benedict was better than the omelet but both were delicious. The service was great. Our server was there when needed and too much. The environment as always was amazing.

Service started out good. Once we received our breakfast didn't see our waitress until 20 minutes after. She forgot my sausage order but when I did request to another waitress to find my waitress I was done w my breakfast. Waitress left sausage order on bill, that I had to have a different waitress bring to me.Asked other waitress to correct it. Didn't have anyone bring my corrected bill back, for atleast 10 minutes, so got fed up went to host station to ask for bill. They tracked down my waitress she brought bill to me. Gave her cash to pay for it, well let's just say I stood by the host station for a solid 10 minutes to get my change back and thats after I asked the host to find my waitress to get my change so I could leave. Very highly disappointed in Wisconsin Room service. I get better service in my nearby bar grills then a place that I paid $80 for a up scale restaurant breakfast.
