Red Circle Inn

A great place with historical value, will be back again

We went on Sunday specifically for Beef Wellington. 10 minutes after ordering we were told they were out of it. We noticed people around us getting it and they said they called and ordered ahead of time! We had made the reservation a month ahead of time and never told we needed to do that. The chicken and meatloaf were also not good ! Our server was excellent. We were a party of 7 and she was attentive. We will never go there again!

Very disappointing. Purposely made a reservation a month early for this restaurant because we wanted to try the beef Wellington. This was in celebration of two birthdays. Waitress took our order for two beef Wellingtons $150 per order. A little later someone else came and told us that they did not have beef Wellington and asked us to order something else. (Apparently the waitress did not even know that). She said we could have beef tenderloin for the same price as the beef Wellington. We ordered one beef tenderloin and two other dishes. During our meal numerous other people were served beef Wellington. We asked the waitress why other diners were able to get beef Wellington and she said that was because they pre ordered it. No where on the website or on the menu did it state that you needed to pre order the beef Wellington. I can not believe that there was no mention that you have to preorder a meal on the only night it’s served! It’s extremely telling when the best meal we were served was the buttered noodles my grandson had for free!! We will never return.

Came for their beef wellington, only night you can get it. Reservations for a month and no one said making the reservation nor on their menu that you should order ahead or they won't have it. Waitress didn't even know they where out until after we all ordered and started eating our salads yet everyone was served beef wellingtonafter seating after us! Thank you too, the waitress, for a good service but no thank you to the establishment for ruining 2 people's birthday meals because of incompetence! Will never come back.

I was looking for a steakhouse to take my best friend out to lunch. We stopped at the Red Circle Inn but they didn’t open until 4:30. Regardless, they rolled out the red carpet and invited us in, anyway, and provided us with a scrumptious steak! What an incredible experience! Kyle, the general manager, and Rich the exquisite chef, offered us a special lunch with all the fixings!!! WOW!! I will be a regular for sure! You don’t find this kind of hospitality anywhere anymore… except The Red Circle Inn in delafield! Thank you Rich and Kyle for going above and beyond!!!!

Everything was excellent, but the Jo Jo potatoes were very salty.

Always good food. Not sure how honorable this place is. Had a hundred dollar gift certificate from 2022. Had brain surgery in 2022. Finally tried to use my gift certificate in 2025. They did not honor it. Thought the law in Wisconsin was five years. Place changed hands but don’t you absorb that in the purchase? Feel a bit slighted because I had to earn this certificate.

I enjoyed the ambiance and my dinner. The tenderloin filet that I ordered was cooked exactly as I requested - medium well. A lot of restaurants struggle with getting my steaks prepared to my liking but this chef nailed it. My partner ordered the crispy perch and potato wedges and they were too salty for his taste. Our server was very friendly and answered our inquiries about the history of the building. The manager came around to our table to make sure we were pleased with our meals. I appreciated the attention to detail that was present at this restaurant and I am looking forward to coming back to dine

Great Wisconsin supper club.

Valentines dinner here was excellent. Best salmon I’ve ever had. Service was fabulous and we loved the history behind the restaurant. GM took us on a little tour.

Wisconsins oldest restaurant! First time there ever. Friday night so it was busy but 15-20min to get two old fashioneds is kinda bad. Prime rib was very good. Salmon was decent. The sides were not good though. Not sure how you mess up mashed potatoes but that wasn't good at all. The relish tray had a whopping two crackers on it. Very very odd to not get soup or salad with an expensive dinner. Definitely one of the lower end supper clubs I've visited.

For supposed to be the best of the best, some of our steaks were not what a $60+ steak should have been

My fiancé surprised me with a dinner date at the Red Circle Inn and it could not have been a better evening. Live jazz band, perfectly grilled steak, and a classic old fashioned…5 stars. The service was excellent and the carrot cake slaps as well.

When my girlfriend asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday, I told her the Red Circle. They asked her if it was a special occasion. She said it was my birthday. Ive never been to a fine restaurant and they didn't offer a desert with a candle or anything. She was very disappointed. Can't say I wasn't too. Wonder why they asked if it was a special occasion. Waiter was great.
