About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Fancy
Great for scenic views

Through an exclusive arrangement with the nation’s premier meat supplier, we offer corn-fed, dry-aged, center-cut beef, inspected and selected by master butchers. When the beef arrives, we refrigerate it in a perfectly calibrated environment until the moment it enters our custom-designed broilers – each capable of reaching up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. Over the top? Not if you want the kind of char that steak lovers dream about. Not if you want to serve a steak that has no equal. Welcome to the great steak of Wisconsin.

The same dedication to quality explains why we deal with only the best seafood suppliers, why we procure locally sourced meats and produce whenever possible, and why we have created one of Wisconsin’s truly great wine lists. It also explains our insistence on providing the Dells’ most accomplished level of service in a truly comfortable environment overlooking the Wisconsin River.

I celebrated my birthday there last year and everything was fantastic. This year, not so much. They were out of many items. My wine was corked. No one even came to check on us. It took until our dinner arrived before the wine could be exchanged. The filet was NOT medium rare and for that price, it should have been cooked to perfection. The sides were good and my husband’s steak was prepared just fine. For that price, the service should have been better and the food should be on point.

Waiter and manager ruined the experience. Others with a different server seemed fantastic. We had cold, overcooked steaks and so did the table next to us. Our waiter came back 2 and didn’t even remove dirty plates. Other tables seated at the same time had eaten and left before we even got our food. Manager offered a free dessert but we were charged for it. Again, other tables with a different server didn’t seem to have the same problem. It wasn’t too busy or understaffed as there were open tables. However not the service expected for a $500 meal.

The tables were too close together . The restaurant was very loud. My soda was not freshened up during the visit. The steaks were not seasoned. You needed the add-on/sauces to add flavor. My steak was cold and so was the broccoli. The crab/ shrimp cakes and loaded mashed potatoes were good.

Food and drinks were exceptionally good. Serviced was to be desired. We were sat at a table and ignored for 20 minutes. I had to go find the host to get anything done. By then the experience was out the window. They comped one of our drinks. If I should try it again I would hope for a better experience

This use to be one of our favorite places to eat; food has always been outstanding, quite expensive, but worth it for the quality of the food in the area. Over the past few years, the service has gone downhill. Go there for the food and maybe you'll be lucky enough to get one of the tenured waitstaff who will take good care of you (there are a few still there, unfortunately we haven't been so lucky recently).

Dear Tim, Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we sincerely thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're sorry your recent meal didn’t live up to expectations or previous experiences, but we’re grateful for the opportunity to improve. Please know your comments are heard and will help us further train our servers to ensure each diner feels at home. We hope to welcome you back for an improved meal and the chance to earn back your trust as a guest.

We've been to Kaminski's before, and though it is very expensive, it seemed worth the price. Not this time though. I had the WORST lobster tail ever. Evidently, the kitchen doesn't know how to remove the tough membrane along with the shell. The green beans were just "blanched" so pretty much like eating them raw. The salads were ok but would have been better adding iceberg lettuce. Our Grasshopper desert drink was so liquid, it had to be eaten with a straw. The only saving grace was the fried onions and my husband's tenderloin tips. Someone said Kaminski's no longer own the restaurant, and things have gone downhill with the new owners. Hope they can improve things . . .
