   Our server Cash was very attentive, friendly and efficient. The food was really good. I enjoyed the fried cheese curds and the Friday baked fish.

   Would not return. Service was worse than the food. Food was just ok. The cheese curds and cocktails were good - everything else was subpar. We had the prime rib that came with baked potatoes (not fully cooked). Waitress never asked if we wanted a second cocktail. She brought water with the check. Our bill for 2 people was $162.00!! Ridiculous and will never go back.

   We came in on a very slow night and we're one of three tables in the restaurant. Our food took an obnoxiously long time, our drinks sat empty, our waitress, Kim, rolled her eyes at us during payment. Food came out lukewarm. Not a good experience and will never be back!!

   Mentioned celebrating husband's 50th birthday in comments when making reservation, but was not acknowledged. Reservation made for 4:30 on a Friday night and was perfect time as there was only 1 other group of customers at that time. Have eaten there before & have had fantastic food, however, husband said the fish fry he had was horrible. Our 2 orders of salmon & 1 order of steak were perfect. I ordered a side of the "charred corn" but did not notice any char or smoke taste on it. Waiter's name was Cash. Still tipped 20% ($48), even though birthday was not acknowledged & drinks were not made "tall" when asked for.

   Stood around for 15 minutes waiting for a wait staff to check us in for our reservation with little to no acknowledgment. The waitstaff was kind but not very helpful. The salads were watery and wet.

   Close to Williams Bay, easy to make reservations, good food and nice view. The noise level makes it hard to talk. Service was excellent.

    Server was sweet. Bar service was a bit pokey. Food was very good - shrimp tacos, prime rib and jalapeno cheddar cornbread. Be aware they have removed their full entrees from their menu but not the website so the offerings are appys, salads, sandwiches/handhelds and pizzas which was disappointing.

    The food was very good, however, it took almost an hour to receive it. Our waiter explained to us, after about 10 minutes that the kitchen was backed up, even though it was early on Saturday evening, that it would be 40 minutes to get the food. We never saw him again until he brought the food in about one hours.

    The sandwiches we ordered weren't good. It was basic "food service" food. The fires and mac n' cheese, could have come out of my freezer. The side salad was pretty good though. The service was good.

    Very loud; food was good but make sure you like BBQ as non BBQ offerings are very limited. Many of the guests were clearly over served on the golf course so be prepared to plug the kid’s ears

    We had a reserved table for 8 back in the corner. It was great. Overall the restaurant is casual and moderately noisy The food and drink selection was also great. The salads were fresh and a nice change from the popular “ iceberg wedge” so prevalent in local Restaurants We were there for or wedding anniversary and college graduation of our son and his girlfriend . They asked us if we were celebrating any special occasions , yet did not even bring us a little desert etc. That would have been nice.

    The restaurant was very nice and the wait staff was very polite . Good was just ok . The cheese curds and steak were very good. The bruschetta was very fatty and not very appetizing. I was excited for brisket but Our combos were very dry and not very good. The burger was good . Great atmosphere but food can be better

    Food was fair. For a "smokehouse restaurant" food was not truly "tender/smoked" and "blackened whitefish" tacos held bits of sautéed fish. Not even close to blackened. Drove a distance to meet family from Milwaukee - company was great, new restaurant has great potential ambiance, food was a dud.

    The food was decent. I had the bbq platter with all the meats. The flavor was good but the brisket was tough and there wasn’t a lot of meat on the ribs. The server was slow. We had to wait forever for a high chair. It was hard to get a drink let alone a second. At the end of the meal she asked for a card but we never got the check.

    This was our second visit and we brought another couple with us since our first visit was phenomenal. This time we were a bit disappointed. Like most places, they were short staffed. We saw 2 servers for a fairly busy Sunday evening. Apparently several tables also had a 6:00 reservation because the poor waitress just went from one table to the next trying to gather orders. Took a while for her to get to us. They had someone bring us waters, but overall pretty slow service. The food was a bit over cooked, but still tasty. Just disappointing since we had really talked up our first experience, then 1.5 hours to get in and out for dinner was unexpected.
