    Our server Dave L was fantastic. We were on a time crunch and told him we needed to be quick to get back to our meeting. We were a group of 9, but he was very efficient and made sure that our service was amazing while getting us out of there in a timely manner. He was even kind enough to take a picture of us for the group.

    This restaurant is exactly what it advertises to be, which is a Wisconsin supper club that serves excellent traditional American food. The service is exceptional--knowledgeable and friendly. This is one of our most favorite places to eat, and would highly recommend it.
