   The ambience is amazing, even in the winter, the views are wonderful. The food was very good. We had the salmon on Friday night. The salmon and vegetables were perfectly cooked and served on a large bed of jasmine rice. The salmon was well seasoned and flaky tender. Saturday lunch was also well done. We started with the chicken and rice soup, which was rich and flavorful. It was thick and delicious, I did not corrupt it with the saltine crackers provided, it was perfect as it was. My wife's turkey BLT was piled high with sliced turkey - and not lunchmeat turkey, real sliced turkey. The Wisco grilled cheese sandwich I had was equally delicious. The cheeses used were well paired and the honey ale onions and roasted mushrooms added a nice burst of flavor of their own. In both visits the staff was friendly, attentive and took the time to explain the options on the menu. The drinks were good as well, I especially enjoyed the Wisco Apple Old Fashioned! I would definitely recommend the Grand Cafe for the experience and the food!

   We went for the seafood boil And prime rib. It was to be served family style , there were 3 adults two men and a woman. The food was not all you can eat and there was hardly enough for all three of us to eat and fill up. Two small Pieces of corn in the Cobb, 3 mussels, one empty, three snow crab clusters and 5 pieces of kielbasa. The mashed potato serving was a tiny dish that could feed one, same with the veggies. The server was never around, never asked if we wanted another drink Or h20 refill. When I talked to the high up manager I got attitude and he asked if I wanted something to take home. Come on no I do not. I ended up speaking to the other restaurant manager and he was very kind and helpful. For that we are thankful. The waitress, served the woman last, touched our plates on the serving area and leaned over me the woman to serve my son. I worked at this place when I was younger, a waitress, trainer and management. This is not acceptable at all. That was supposed to be $120 in food, come on.

   Our dinner was fantastic. We each had a fillet and it was incredibly cooked just perfect moist and excellent but our service was terrible. I can’t even exaggerate how bad the service was. The waitress hardly ever came to our table when we asked for things she never came back and we ended up sitting there over 2 1/2 hours just for dinner for two it was ridiculous but we did enjoy the meal

   Food was not good, the kitchen messed up all three entrees and gave my wife and I two very sad kids sized burgers and my kid the adult one. All burgers were very bad and not served as ordered. Management blew off my polite complaint with the issue and said “better luck next time” Server was friendly and the food issue was not her fault although she didn’t take any action to fix things.

    My wife and I went here for a date night. Absolutely set a reservation. We had one and we’re seated immediately. The guy who was ahead of us didn’t and the wait for him was over an hour. It’s the Christmas season and it’s a Saturday night. That said it wasn’t too loud and it wasn’t absolutely packed. All the lights and activity make for a really nice ambience!! That’s why I picked it! My wife’s turkey BLT was delish! We also got the chicken soup which was really good as well. I got the 10 oz strip steak. I ordered it medium. It came more medium rare. If you order the steak go a level above a high quality steak house (like the Chop House next door) so if you want just a little pink get it medium well. $32 was too much for the steak. It was ok. If you are looking for an amazing steak just go to the chop house. You will pay twice as much but it’s worth it. Get the sandwiches here. They all look great!! We were tempted to do the crab boil but that’s $60/plate…minimum 2 people. The other options were prime rib or some other sea food. I wouldn’t pay $60 for prime rib ever. Too fatty. I don’t pay that much for quantity. I’d pay it for quality though. Grand Geneva is an absolutely amazing place from November 20 til end of December. All the lights, the gingerbread house competition, the live music Friday and Saturday nights and the coffee shop with all Starbucks coffee and tea is amazing!! After dinner we looked at all that stuff and my wife got a chai and I got a mocha and we walked around casually and took it all in. It was a great night and we will do it again soon!! May try the Brissago upstairs next.

    We didn't like we're we had to order the prime rib and seafood boil minimum of 2. My husband and I were celebrating our late 25 year anniversary and we went there my husband wanted that but unfortunately I don't eat that. So my very disappointed husband ordered something else .

    Big change from previous years. We could always count on a delicious meal at the Cafe. The new menu is very limited. No Friday fish fry or weekend buffet. We ordered the prime rib and seafood special which was a big dissapointmenr. Not a single shrimp. Clams were cold , hard and dry. Most of the clam shells were empty. Snow crab legs were cold and served with a nutcracker which is useless for soft snow crab. We didn’t even eat them. The corn, boiled potatoes and sausage were very good. The prime rib was ok and the mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables that came with it were good. The price of $60 per person was ridiculous. Should have been $60 for two people. The service has always been excellent until now. Very slow now. Almost impossible to get the check and when it comes there’s another half hour wait to process payment. We come every year for the same event and look forward to the fabulous experience at the cafe. Now we’re wondering what to do next year. I guess we can order pizza from town or bring our own food. We’re just so sad that this has happened. We also had the breakfast buffet this morning which we enjoyed but the price is way too high since they started charging $3.50 for coffee and $5 for juice. Both used to be included and we assumed they still were. No one mentioned that they weren’t when they were offered. It’s a beautiful room with a fabulous view and we will miss it as part of our annual weekend adventure.

    Big change this year from previous years. Menu is very limited. No Friday fish fry or buffet. We were seated on time with a reservation for 4. Our server was pleasant but our service was dismal. We rarely saw her. We waited an hour for our meals and we only had sandwiches and a salad. The food has changed and is no longer dependably delicious. I didn’t care for my shrimp po boy. The shrimp were big and juicy but the sauce and pickles were off putting. When the food finally arrived the French fries were cold. We were provided with hot fries right away. It took 45 minutes to get our checks and then to process the payments. We had to flag down other employees to help us get some attention from out server and even that didn’t work. We were seated for 2 hours before we could leave. We had allowed an hour for our meal and ended up missing our event. Unacceptable and very surprising. We have always had a wonderful experience at the cafe but something has happened.

    The server was terrible and did not know the menu. Totally unacceptable for the price of the food. We did not receive all the food that was described on the menu. She even had the nerve to say it was optional upon request. It was clearly supposed to be part of the meal and if it was optional she should of offered it. Crab legs was also part of the meal and they were ice cold and not warmed to a serving temperature

    The food choices were limited and the food was very average. We ordered chicken and rice soup and it didn’t arrive until after our meal. There was no Chicken or rice in the soup. The service was very slow as well. I would look elsewhere. Wish they would broaden the menu choices. Ambience was nice.

    Everything about our meal was amazing! We had the filet and the salmon and it was outstanding. The steak was done perfectly and my husband was able to cut it with a butter knife. He couldn’t say enough about it. There was a lot going on at the hotel that weekend but the service was outstanding and the place was very clean. Look forward to going back again.

    We had excellent service (thank you Dawn!) and the food was very good. I had the salmon off the menu and it was cooked perfectly, veggies were very good and overall it was very tasty. Husband had the Saturday evening buffet and loved it. There were so many items to choose from, from salads and veggies, prime rib, shrimp, sides and desserts. Overall, very good dining experience.

    Food was disappointing and midway between our dinner a family with 3 toddlers was seated next to us. It was noisy and disruptive. The restaurant was not full and they could have easily put the family in a more discreet place. We were on vacation and wanted to enjoy our time together.

    Wanted to have Easter lunch here with my family. Made a 3pm reservation on Wednesday. At 11am on Easter morning, the restaurant called me and asked to push my reservation back because the kitchen closed at 3pm to prepare for dinner service. I told them I couldn't, and they said they would honor my reservation anyway. When we arrived, our waitress was very pushy and was clearly trying to get us out of there. I appreciate that they accommodated my reservation, but don't let me reserve a table at 3pm if the kitchen is closed then! The food was good. I ordered a turkey BLT, which tasted good, but was cold, which I chalked up to the kitchen being closed. Overall, not especially pleased with my experience here.
