We had a lovely time. I must say we are very picky with food....foodies you could Sat. The fare at Elias is amazing, full of flavor, unique, and presented well. Presentation to the eyes is the first "taste", and Elias and Sobies does this perfectly. The wine was outstanding as well.

Food was very good, but it seems that you have to wait an hour to have the waitress rush you, ignore you, and serve you as if you have no business being there. I get you have to move tables but the waitress could not even finish a sentence without turning to walk away. On top of that, you have to wait forever to get a drink too. To bad because the food it really good but not worth the bad service rushed atmosphere

Great food, great service and fair prices, what more can be said of a Wisconsin Supper Club, Oh you are wondering about their Old Fashions, sorry, I don't drink anything stronger than coffee.

Elias Inn Supper Club certainly delivers a great meal and experience on all levels. We were warmly greeted and confirmed our reservation with the hostess as we entered the bar area. As we waited for the rest of our party, we enjoyed a drink in the bar area. After enjoying Old Fashioneds and wine, we took our seats in the quaint dining area. The relish lazy Susan relish tray and bread basket were an excellent starter. The baked French onion soup was also amazing. We enjoyed prime rib, crab stuffed shrimp, and seafood de jonghe. All were delicious! We ended the meal with a pink Cadillac and a grasshopper. The staff couldn't have been more pleasant and attentive. It was a wonderful experience!

Wonderful evening last night at The Elias Inn Supper Club in Watertown, courtesy of our cheerful, delightfully kind and attentive server Whitney H. The Elias Inn is the undisputed king of the relish tray - brought to the table on its own lazy Susan. Good thing we had an empty seat at our table. ? I had the Queen cut prime rib and the ladies had the ribeye steak sandwich special - both entrees superb, seasoned and cooked to perfection. I also can’t remember a time I wanted to rave about mashed potatoes (well… not true - it was the last time my mom made them for me) but still, they were positively delicious and I would actually recommend them. Brandy Old Fashioned Sweets were also top notch. We capped off the night with a Brandy Alexander for us and a Grasshopper for our guest of honor. If you’re anywhere near Watertown, treat yourself to a fantastic meal. And ask for Whitney. She’ll carry it over the goal line for you.

Went to the Ellias Inn on a Thursday night very busy. Enjoyed the prime rib dinner (supper club specialty) and the lazy susan. Also liked the Old fashion with Maple (very sweet). Will return another time when in the area and try the fish on Friday.

Very nice German themed Super Club in Watertown. The building is classic Supper Club with lots of old wood and a nice bar.I had an old fashioned, it was muddled and fresh, but seemed to be lacking something.The service was great, helpful and knowledgeable without being overbearing.This place still has a free Relish Tray, which was refreshing, with a nice selection of veggies and cheeses. Definitely a plus.I had the Veal Schnitzel, which came with soup or salad, I got both. The salad was fresh and tasty. The soup (beef stew) was good, could have been warmer. My friend got the French Onion and said it was thick and great. The Schnitzel was cooked perfectly and I would get it every time I go here. Menu didn't mention it comes with Sptätzle, so was happy to see that included and was also very good.Definitely a recommended stop if looking for a place to eat in Watertown.

Great food, small dining area, a little crowded, had to wait even with a reservation. Good service. Relish tray was wonderful!
First thing, we have been eating here for the past 18 years. This is the first time back since the new owners.Started with a Wisconsin must-have, a Korbel brandy Old Fashion. The 4 we ordered were the worst we have had. Might as well been as glass of water.We all ordered Baked French Onion soup. There was no cheese and no taste. Worst we have ever had.Service was very poor, the dishes from the relish tray and the soup sat on the table and no one would clear them off. Finally, I got the hostess to clear the table after asking her.One of us ordered the Sea food pasta. No seasoning. Buttered noodles only. Over cooked seafood. The rest had Prime rib was ok. Over priced food and drinks. Will not go back.

The best pork schnitzel you'll find anywhere in Wisconsin and beyond. The cajun cod soup is amazing - chicked full of flavorful fish. Get yourself there for great classical American or Western European food.

Wow! A great tasting meal in a quaint supper club! The five of us enjoyed our reasonably priced dinners which included a choice of soup or salad AND a delicious lazy Susan (salads, cheeses, pickles, veggies, dinner rolls and bread sticks!). Many fine dining places charge additional for your salads or soups. When in Door County we paid $12 for a super club lazy susan that wasn’t near as lovely as the Elias Inn one. Service was excellent too!

We have eaten here twice, the last time being the Friday fish fry. I will be reviewing our fish fry experience. We arrived around 6 and were told there would be a short wait. The hostess appeared extremely stressed out. It wasn't a warm welcome. We proceeded to wait in the bar area, and my partner went up to the bar to get drinks. The two bartenders completely ignored him as they slowly went about their business- they weren't overly busy but I understand that appearances can be deceiving. My partner felt that they should have at least acknowledged his presence since there weren't many people that needed to be served at the bar. It was odd that one of the bartenders didn't at least see him and say they would get back to him when they had a minute. Eventually, without drinks, he left the bar to wait with me at a table. Luckily, our wait for dinner wasn't too long and the hostess led us to our table. Halfway through the walk, the hostess got a phone call on a phone she was carrying, stopped and took the call. She then turned around and gave us an odd look like we weren't following her properly or something. We were led to a table that was two small tables pushed together. The plates were positioned on the crack between tables. We moved those over to one of the tables and sat down. My partner sat in the chair on one side and I sat on the bench on the other side that was shared with two other tables. The bench was uncomfortable and awkward. I either had to lean way back for back support or lean forward with none. There was an empty table across the room that had two chairs and I wish we would have been seated there. This may have also helped us with the sound level in the room. I could hear everything said on either side of us. The young women to my right were especially loud making it almost impossible for us to talk to each other unless we stared yelling, too. The room is like a small cavern with nothing to dampen the sound level. This made it especially difficult for my partner who wears hearing aids. One more note about the room- the gold tinted windows that my partner was facing that were behind me made it difficult for him to see my face. He said my face was in the shadow from the bright glow. So he couldn't hear me or see me! We eventually gave up and just ate. Now on to the food and service. Our server seemed friendly enough at the start but things changed as the dinner progressed. She never explained the fish fry. She also seemed stressed out. Other servers appeared more friendly and relaxed. (Maybe just our bad luck.) We got our drinks and ordered the all you can eat fish fry ($19). One note on the chardonnay I received- it was not very good. It was quite weak and watery. I noticed this right away. I was surprised when the bill came and it cost $9! Anyway, one positive is that the food was pretty good. I only ate a chicken wing so it's hard to say how the chicken was, but the fried fish was decent and our first serving of baked fish was also good. The side dishes were okay, but the German potato salad would have benefited from some bacon to cut the taste of the dressing down. The problem with the food came when we asked for more. We wanted some more of a side dish but she acted like this is an unusual request. We did get some more coleslaw and, one small piece of fried fish, and two tiny pieces of over-baked fish. This was all seemingly disapproved of by our server who appeared bothered that we asked for anything extra even though we didn't get much to start with. We were also left for long periods of time without her checking in on us. We didn't eat a large amount of food and we weren't annoying. At the end of the meal we were not asked if we wanted coffee or dessert, or anything else. We were not allowed to take home the one piece of chicken, a thigh, or french fries we were given at the start! This was a very bad experience for us. When we go out to eat we like relax and talk while we enjoy the food and atmosphere. We will not go back.

Get to Elias Inn if you love classical American and Western European food. Their pork schnitzel is incredible. My husband, who's sampled schnitzel across Wisconsin, the U.S., Switzerland and Germany, called it THE BEST he's ever eaten. The cajun cod soup is also amazing - chocked full of fish with some veggies - it was tasty and tender and nearly a meal in istelf.
I had the perch and it was really good! Perfectly lightly battered and cooked.
