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.

Nostalgia. Comfort. This was the beginning. Then, I ordered a Sidecar. Talk about nostalgia...been decades since that cocktail showed up on a menu. This one came in a whisper thin martini glass. It was delicious. Don't recall the last time I thought a drink was delicious. Then the dinner arrived. Beef Stroganoff with a side of red cabbage, sprinkled with goat cheese. People! Scrumptious!! Satisfying wide egg noodles, juicy pot roast, cooked to perfection. (Can't believe I'm raving over such a common dish, but it was that good.) OH, then notice the music floating by...was that live? The horn player in the lobby area, sitting at an angle, jazzy in attire, hat tilted, notes floating. Magical. Just had to share. Go there...

Celebrated our anniversary at the Red Circle, Inn. First time to this establishment. Staff was outstanding. Accommodations were made for gluten intolerance. Staff substituted mashed potatoes for pasta. Food was high-quality. Brussels sprout side dish was outstanding. Prime rib was cooked to perfection. The beef stroganoff was a bit confusing. I was expecting more of an intact short rib, smothered in a wine sauce. It was actually shredded beef with gravy. It reminded me of my mother‘s homemade beef stew. Will certainly return for other occasions.

We recently dined at the Red Circle Inn and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, a perfect blend of rustic charm and elegance.

The food was absolutely outstanding. We started with the Beef Stroganoff, which was incredibly rich and flavorful, paired with a side of red cabbage that added a delicious tangy balance. The beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, and came with fried Brussels sprouts with bacon—a delightful crispy, savory combination that elevated the entire dish.

To drink, we enjoyed a classic Sidecar that was perfectly balanced and refreshing. For dessert, we indulged in the Strawberries and Cream crisps, which were light, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. We also had the Golden Cadillac, a creamy and decadent treat that felt like a luxurious finish to an already perfect dining experience.

A special mention to Taylor, our server, who was attentive, knowledgeable, and ensured that every part of our meal was seamless. Her friendly demeanor and attention to detail truly enhanced the overall experience.

Highly recommend Red Circle Inn for anyone looking for exceptional food, great service, and a memorable dining experience!

This place did not disappoint! Staff was amazing! They made me feel like I was their only customer.
The food was great. It was Sunday supper night, and there was sooo much food, but it was all amazing!
Brandy old fashioned was on point.
I do not have 1 bad thing to say about this place. Everything was exactly as it should be.

The service was exceptional with several staff members checking in on our table. The waiter knew I was intrigued by the appetizer special, and was generous enough to provide a sample tasting for me. The food quality was very good and a nice size portion. Although I had seen notes about the noise level being quiet, perhaps it was an off night because the noise level was fairly high due to all tables being filled.

There were 6 of us and we All enjoyed our dinner very much! Food was wonderful! We will definitely go back! The manager made us feel very welcome and it feels like it used to be. A Gem in the Lake country!

Food was good, however, like so many restaurants, prices are through the roof. Not providing bread and a house salad has also become a common practice but, really is not good practice. If those had been part of the meal, I would have said prices were appropriate.
