This was our first dining experience in Wausau. Van Acre's was recommended by the staff at Courtyard. It was a great recommendation. We arrived a few minutes early, so we waited in the lobby. When our table was ready, they seated us at a table for two with a busy walkway beside us. It was also noisier than we desired. We asked to be moved and the manager checked to see if a booth would become available. We waited just a few minutes and had a great experience. Our waitress, who was engaged, was outstanding. She was pleasant and offered great recommendations. She was attentive, but not hovering. Everyone made this dining experience wonderful. We both had the tomahawk pork chop which was very good and highly recommended.

SHOUT OUT Spent a wonderful evenings with two very good friends celebrating their wedding anniversary. To celebrate we went to William’s Pine Gables in Eagle River, a first for sll four of us we and had one of the best meals up here since North Star Lodge closed. Service was excellent and all entries were exceptional. They pretty much want you make a reservation and they keep their numbers at a level that is not crowded and they are able to assure a fine dinning experience. Highly recommended. We will go back.

EsterEv was fantastic! A great mix of casual atmosphere and next level food! Had the 8 course tasting menu and we let our server decide what the dishes would be. She picked some great ones. We left fulfilled but not stuffed and can’t wait to go back again soon!

French onion soup was very thick and a bit salty, but delicious. Braised beef was fantastic. Excellent service!

Dined on the patio, which was lovely. The food was very good and the service was excellent. Dining room would have been somewhat loud.

Wisconsin Dells / Lake Delton

About the restaurant

The year was 1943, and Jim and Alice Wimmer decided to take a big risk, buying a small existing roadside restaurant known for its char-broiled steaks. How fitting that in 2018, the restaurant's 75th anniversary year, the third generation of Wimmers, Amy Wimmer, takes the helm from her father Jeff and his wife Jane, bringing her own adventurous spirit to the Del-Bar, the same kind of spirit she so admired in her grandparents. Rich History • 75 Years & 3 Generations • Award Winning Cuisine While flattering comparisons to steakhouses in Chicago and New York are regularly made by visitors, Amy Wimmer still cherishes this restaurant, her family restaurant, as one-of-a-kind.

Bavette (Historic Third Ward, Milwaukee)

Farm-to-table

Milwaukee

About the restaurant

What started out as a butcher shop concept, has evolved and changed over the years to become a full-service restaurant, which was solidified with the restaurant's move to a larger space in 2022. At Bavette, the consumer will enjoy complete transparency of its food moving from farm to plate. Although the butcher shop has been phased out, the restaurant still works with the same farms, and uses the same high quality meats on its menu, which consists of a daily changing menu consisting of salads, sandwiches, small plates, pates, cheese, and charcuterie boards. The restaurant truly is a farm-to-table restaurant, sourcing not only the meat but most of its produce from nearby farms. In addition to the highly seasonal menu, there is a small store featuring chef-curated retail items, such as Wisconsin cheeses, local charcuterie, artisanal jams, pickles, salts, vinegar, and oil. Going along with the thoughtful menu is a select and unique offering of craft beers, wines, and cocktails.
