    We had a wonderful night. The food was absolutely delicious from the bread, to the salads and soup to the steaks! Service was top notch. The ambience is lacking. For wanting to be a high-end establishment, there were no tablecloths and the lighting was far too bright.

    The food, drinks and service was incredible! My only two suggestions would be to give more time in between courses before deciding what’s next and the door leading to the outdoor seating kept slamming shut and was very obnoxious.

    Thank you so much for taking the time in reviewing us! We will take your suggestions and discuss with staff. As far as the door we are aware and have a work order in to fix that slamming issue.

    We arrived early for our reservation and were offered to sit in the bar until our table was ready...I noticed several empty tables when we arrived...45 minutes after our scheduled time, we ended up asking if our table was ready yet. The food was good, service was poor, extremely noisy despite being about half empty.

    We really wanted to love Wissota Chophouse but were very disappointed. 5 of us were seated at our 4:45 reservation time and told they were short staffed because the manager didn’t show up. There were only 3 occupied tables and a few couples at the bar. Our jalapeño pineapple margaritas were the best part of the entire experience along with the baked French onion soup. The waiter should have taken our main course order at the time apps were ordered. Other tables who came in after us received their dinners before us. - Water was poured warm with no ice. Asked for actual ice water and never got it. - 1 of the 2 filets ordered ‘medium’ came out well done. - The prawn dinner was beautiful to look at but cold. - The Seabass was only about 1 inch thick and the crusted outside made the whole piece inedible. This should be a thick piece of buttery fish. - The scallop dinner was cold. - Of the 4 side we ordered to share, one was ‘warm’ the others were cold. We told our waiter and he went and talked to the chef. He came back and offered a free dessert or round of drinks OR they could remake everything. None of which was appropriate for only 1 meal being made correctly. We we declined because we had to get to a show at JPAC. None of the offerings were sufficient for a dinner check over $300. The waiter came and brought the check and had taken 20% off. We were still taken aback by that. We just paid it along with a $60 tip and left. We were given the GMs contact info and we will be contacting him. We expect more for what we were offered and a better meal for what we paid. Seriously, Texas Roadhouse would have been a better choice.

    Beautiful interior, friendly staff, and excellent food & drinks. The happy hour (daily from 4-6pm, including Saturday) was a nice bonus. We loved the field green salad, truffle fries, and complimentary bread and butter brought to our table. The mushroom risotto was hot & delicious, and our filet mignon steaks were perfect. I'd recommend the peppercorn crust and wild mushroom medley with the steak. This is a great destination in Janesville, located in a brand new hotel along the Rock River. Highly recommended!

    Everything was very good! Definitely have to get the truffle fries with your order! One thing about the fillets, get the 10oz it’s only 20 extra bucks, I just didn’t think the 5oz was enough on that plate for how much your paying.

    Thank you for your review! We have been definitely working on getting some extra quality staff to help us during our busy season. Also thank you for your input on the steak portions.

    The service was terrible! We were the only ones in the restaurant and had to get up from the table twice to get the waitress (we don’t normally do that!). She forgot one of our orders, never came to refill drinks, she kept forgetting what she had already asked us…it was just bad. The food was ok but not worth the price. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

    We are truly sorry you were not happy with your service. We pride ourselves on consistently providing the best service and food. We will be looking into this and making sure that coaching and improvements are given where necessary to bring that service back to the level it needs to be. We sincerely thank you for bringing this to our attention so that we can do so.

    My fiance and I had our very first experience at Wissota yesterday. Our waiter Ivan by far has the best service we have ever encountered. He is very professional and accommodating. His brother Victor makes the most delicious and top prized food. Victor knows exactly what he's doing with his cooking. When it comes to fantastic service and superb cooking, what more could anyone else ask for? I fully recommend Wissota Chophouse.

    All steaks were flavorful and prepared to our liking (filet, ribeye, and a NY strip). Sides were very good, we had the truffle fries and brussels sprouts. Lobster bisque was ok. Salads were very large and tasty - our group had the wedge, field green, and caprese salad. I would go back for the caprese salad alone! There were 4 big blobs of burrata and the balsamic was dreamy! Lastly, our server Ivan was fantastic! The table next to us had the Mediterranean flatbread appetizer and it looked delicious.

    I noted on our reservation it was our 30th wedding anniversary. It would of been a nice gesture to acknowledge that note since the reservation asked if it was a special occasion . Maybe a complimentary dessert would of been nice . :) couples would appreciate that extra touch. *** its a tad dark …. it would be nice to have a candle on the table . The food was delicious! staff was welcoming .

    We went there for our 50th anniversary and were not disappointed! From appetizer to dessert, everything was made to perfection! The bacon truffle Mac ‘n cheese was absolutely fantastic, and large enough to take leftovers home. Although a little pricey for Janesville, it was worth the expense. Our server, Ivan was top notch…so helpful and personable.

    Our server was excellent! The fried olives are delicious and the cocktails were wonderful. The soup, salads and main course was superb. We had time for everything thanks to the perfect timing of the server. That was some ‘slice’ of decadent chocolate cake. I don’t think we wanted the food and drink to end, but it did and can’t wait to come back. Thank you. It made my daughters 29th birthday a lifetime memory.

    Our main entrees were wonderful. The sides, well were not as good as expected. The huge brussel sprouts were so woody that almost one half you could not chew much less eat. The asparagus was soft and floppy. Definitely over cooked. The bernaise was an excellent touch. We were surprised that everything was ala cart. I would have hoped there would have been at least one item included with your main entree. We received a $150.00 gift card to eat there. Thank goodness we had that because the value for the food was not there. Service and attention was above and beyond. Most excellent!

    Thank you for your review. Please know that we take the quality of our food very seriously, and as always, if you are displeased, we strongly encourage you to tell your server right away. That way in the moment we can make sure you get exactly what you're looking for in your dining experience. If we do get the opportunity to serve you again, be sure to try our Wissota Burger made with Angus beef mixed with Waygu. As well as it's our 1 item that does come with a side our yummy truffle fries!

    The whole staff was wonderful. It seemed as though they were working together (clearing each other’s table off as they walked by, seating tables in each other’s sections, etc. My steak was cooked to perfection! Medium rare seems to be tricky and it was perfect. Everything we ordered was delicious. It’s not a super “fancy” restaurant, but it was quiet and clean.
