After a long day of travel including a series of incremental flight delays that kept me from walking away to eat, I finally made it to Sheboygan and walked into Black Pig at about 8:30 when they close at 9. Bartender Michael welcomed me in and even though I offered to order my food to go he encouraged me to stay and enjoy my dinner while it was hot. (Thank goodness since it was a balmy 0 degrees outside). The food was amazing! The salad was beautiful and the pan seared striped trout (if I remember that correctly) was amazing! The place itself was just beautiful inside. Thank you Michael for making sure my first meal of the day was a great one!

We brought a big group in for dinner as we've been here before and enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the server assigned to us had the personality of a wet rag and was very apathetic the entire meal. She also forgot to put in our appetizer and gave her customer attitude when a simple question about the extra charges on our bill was raised. Also as a business practice, charging an extra 4% on the entire bill (including gratuity) to the customer for standard operating costs is ridiculous. The restaurant is making money on that. Don't list the price as one price and then bring me a bill with each individual item with a higher price. It feels sneaky and as a customer, I will not patronize any establishment that utilizes this method. We will not be back.

Food was upscale and a little pricey. Not my normal, but it was tasty. Decent selection of adult beverages with about 10 tap lines. Atmosphere will bring me back. Spacious and cozy at the same time. Embossed tin ceilings and hard wood floors give this an updated retro feel.

The service was great. The menu looked great but didn’t deliver. We could have gone back to the Wisconsin Room for the amount we spent… and there were a ton of kids at the restaurant.
As far as cocktails go - Oat fashioned was ok - too much soda in my opinion. The jalapeño business drink was good but quite sweet. The wine list was great and we really enjoyed the Frank Family Cabernet.
We had a bad cut of meat for the pork special - super tough and not well cooked. The mushroom toast looked great in pictures that others posted…. They must have run out of mushrooms as we got 2 pieces per crostini (as a price point reference- 4 slices of crostini for $17…. With hardly any mushrooms on them ?♀️) the risotto was ok at best. The lamb wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t anything special.
Won’t be back.

I had been super excited to try The Black Pig for quite some time. Finally an occasion arrived where my wife and I did so. Starting with the good, the atmosphere is astounding. The ambience is super relaxed and inviting. I ordered the Pork Pluma and my wife opted for the Lamb. My dish was satisfactory; however, it left a bit to be desired. It wasn't overly warm and IMO it was the pork itself stealing the show. If you can make pork taste like a ribeye I commend you. The side paring was however a bit lack luster. To avoid being too long winded, my wife had to have her lamb cooked further upon my request as to she was too reluctant to speak up after spitting it out. This is when our whole experience shifted. Our server went from relaxed and composed to a frantic and dare I say scared child. My wife felt terrible, but I felt even worse when the dish returned and she explained it as tasting like plain hamburger over spaghettios. In the end, she was on par. Through her disappointment our server remained awkward and timid. He rarely approached. His dialogue was short and stale. He went as far as knocking over our neighboring table silverware when picking up our tab. To that I say... Relax. It's not your fault a dish is sub par. We in no way expressed any of what I feel obligated to write here... But for $120 and a 25 percent tip a chef should know how to wow every dish and a server should not have their night ruined by a kindly asked request that bears no judgement on them (upfront). Our advice: Remove what you can't hack from a menu. Don't order the lamb Train your servers to push the cocktails (they were fantastic)

In town for the weekend for an event at Kohler, we sat at the bar and had a nice dinner (the scallops were lovely!) I just wanted to leave a google review because the bartender (with the mustache!) provided the best service I have had in a very long time. They took the time to understand what we were looking for, gave great cocktail modifications, and overall just made me and my dinner companion feel very cared for. I would absolutely return just based on the service!
