Restaurants near Oliver Prairie State Natural Area

My experience was very good with good food and service. I had the beet salad which was very goods it was served with creamy whipped goat cheese. My wife doesn’t usually like goat cheese but she liked this dish. I recommend the crispy lobster and filet. The lobster was seasoned and fried perfectly. The fillet was cooked a perfect medium rare. The creamy potatoes was very good but the asparagus was undercooked. Overall the dinner was very good.

We really enjoy the food and service. My only complaint is that it’s noisy with the music and people talking. We were a table of 4 and one of the people wears hearing aides and couldn’t hear us over the other conversations and music.

Every item that our table ordered was great. The pizzas are unique and delicious. The build-your-own harvest salad was wonderful and has a large variety of options. The one note that I would make is that the regular dressing - a pineapple vinagrette - is surprisingly spicy. If you like that flavor profile, perfect. But I think the menu should let diners know there is a definite spice level there. Fortunately, it arrived on the side and we were easily able to swap it out for another option. If you appreciate a thoughtful and varied cocktail menu, this is the place for you. I was very sad that I didn't Uber there so I could try more! That being said, the N/A cocktail menu is given just as much love as the regular one. Two guests in our party don't drink, so this was greatly appreciated and much needed in the industry in general.

We had a Nice quiet table outside with a view on the Yahara River. The service was friendly en quick. We all liked what we ordered which was: Wagyu burger with fries, Jambalaya chicken, Korean bowl, cheesecake, chocolate cake, Rum cake, IPA beer en 4! Not a Smash mocktails 😋. We will definitely come back here soon. 🥳

We had some delicious wine and appetizers! Prior to lunch we did a wine sampler with Bill and Mary! Their knowledge and passion for wine was notable and appreciated!
