I have no problem paying good money for good food. I can make a better steak at home, I'll even put sides with it! Pretty disappointed overall
Thank you for letting us know your thoughts. We would like to hear from you directly so see where we can improve. Please reach out to the restaurant and ask to speak with Eric or Cara. We would love another opportunity to try to "WOW" you.
Food and service were both excellent. Will be returning!
Thank for the perfect score and wonderful review. We pride ourselves on fast and friendly service. The delicious food makes it easy though. We hope to see you again soon.
Great place. Very quiet great food. Good menu. Nice design
Thank you for the perfect review Matthew! We are glad to know you enjoyed yourself! Stop in again soon please!
Very friendly, waitress was on top of it. Food was great!
Thank you for the perfect review! We greatly appreciate any feedback we get, but this is our favorite kind. We hope to see you again soon!
We had a reservation but it was still 20 minutes to get our table they seemed a little disorganized but overall was very good
Thank you for the good review. I do apologize that you had to wait for your table. Most of our reservations on Valentine's day were back to back and we never want to rush people out. We do hope you will give us another chance to earn a 5-star review.
Steaks were excellent, and service was great. Very attentive. Lobster Bisque and salads were excellent also. Overall a little pricey for the marketplace.
Thank you for the great review! We appreciate the perfect score, but it looks like we could have done even better. We do purchase the highest quality of meat of available to us and our prices do reflect that. We do hope you will stop in again.
Unorganized mess ! Seated very late , no service, finally just left ! No idea how the food is , couldn’t even get drinks brought to table
Food was just ok over priced and over cooked Sevice was horrible and menu is just ok. Not worth the money
This dinner at Wissota was to celebrate a college graduation. We’ve been before just to enjoy the great food and service. We have had a great experience each time, with the quality of food and service in line with the cost. I’ll be back again for family dinners, business dinners, and just because!
Mike and Melissa, thank you so much for the kind words and perfect review! We understand small town values and that great food needs equal service standards. We look forward to your next visits!
The server was great. The entire staff seemed quite engaging. The food wasn't bad but it also wasn't great. For the price I'm not sure I would go back.
Great food and drinks...
Food was excellent and our server was very good. Only disappointment was that the environment isn't all that intimate. Tables are all open and fairly close together and the lighting was bright. But still, excellent steak, blue cheese risotto was incredible, flat bread appetizer was amazing! We would go again for sure!
Mark, thank you for the kind word and great review. We do work in a smaller space, but next time you come in please let management know and we will try to make certain you have a little bit more privacy. We will pass your compliments onto our Chef as well. Thanks again.
I do have to give kudos to the hostess/waitress/bartender/cleaner as she was the only person doing all of those since the other person called out. I didn't notice any difference in service, no extended waiting or anything. So kudos there.
The food left me disappointed for the value. The alligator was fantastic but everything after was mediocre. The caesar salad is nothing special, but its salad so I'm not knocking it. The use of rye bread in french onion soup was not what I was expecting and definitely gave a not so enjoyable taste to the soup. The NY Strip was bland. I am not one to add toppings to a steak at a steakhouse/chophouse. I order steak at these places because they are usually very flavorful with simple salt, pepper, and maybe a pat of garlic butter but all the add ons are not for me. The NY Strip was bland and I for one wouldn't order it again. My wife had steak as well, the 6 oz. filet, but had peppercorn on it. As she put it, it needed the peppercorn so again bland steak otherwise. The garlic whipped potatoes not loaded came out with what I guess was melted butter in a few spots but it looked like little pools of grease, almost like what pepperoni pizza looks like. Once stirred in the potatoes were okay. My wife enjoyed the asparagus.
We typically go out to a steakhouse only for our anniversary or a birthday so not often, but this was definitely a let down and someplace I wouldn't jump to go back to.
Very nice experience, nice wine list, suggest getting stemmed wine glasses for the nice wine to be served, we are into wine so we noticed the difference and also train your wait staff to properly open and present the wine, there’s room for improvement. We spent over 300.00 for 2 , and expect a little better presentation. But over all it was very nice, we will be back with friends!
- The waitress was fun and her service was fantastic!
- We arrived 30 minutes before closing, and the staff still treated us as if we had ample time to order, drink, and eat. No rush! Even the chef came out and chatted with us for a few moments.
- Most importantly, the food was phenomenal! Me and my guest both had the fish, the salads and sides were hot and tasty, and the deconstructed tiramisu was delicious.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!
The patio area was nice and felt very clean. Only a few flies were around. Obviously you can't do much about those outside in the late summer while eating steak. The ribeye was fine. Everything else was so-so. Portions on the sides were surprisingly large. Food quality and service were good for a place with fare 1/3 of the price. More is required at this price-point.
The ribeye and mixed grill were fantastic. They also made good whiskey old fashions.
I made a reservation asked to be seated outside. I was told once we arrived for our reservation. Reservation were not allowed outside patio, but were welcome to wait at the bar or dine inside. Some people are not ok dining inside yet. Some people are and that is totally fine. Ended up going to Mod pizza. Pizza and Wine on there patio.
Bartender/Server was friendly and doing double duty. She did her best. Drinks and Food were exceptional (ribeye, seabass & lamb). I just wish we had been seated to eat our ceasar salad separate from our entrees. The carrot cake was tasty and made for a perfect substitute birthday cake. Overall a fun evening, great food but be prepared to break out your plastic ($$$) !
Food and service did not match the prices. Flavor wasn’t great and there would be long periods of time that we wouldn’t see our waitress. Waited 30 minutes just to receive the bill.
Horrible service. It was like they were upset we were there and wanted to go home. Barely anyone in restaurant, literally dropped plates on table. Hostess visibly upset that we asked to sit on patio. Absolutely bizarre. Facility itself very pretty though/clean.
Very pleased with our first visit! Great food and service
We will be going back! Great location over looking the river. Very clean and well decorated. I had the Scallops and my husband had the filet mignon. Both were cooked to perfection! We had great service and their wine list is great.
Brenda, thank you for the perfect review! We are glad the you were able to enjoy a delicious meal and the beautiful scenery. We hope to see you again soon!
2 people in our party had the 10 oz. fillet and they said it was the best they ever had. I had the scallops, they were huge and delicious and the sauce it was in was very tasty. Our server was excellent. Overall we were very happy with the food and service and will definitely go back.
Thank you Gordon for the great review! The filet is amazing we are so happy you enjoyed it. We look forward to your future visits!
Party of six and all our meal were warm. Temp of meat was over done for 4 of us.

The quality of food for the price did not match.

Great service, nice atmosphere, very good food. A bit expensive, but I'd sure recommend it for a special night out!
Jim, we would love to see you for another "special night out!" During that visit we hope to give you a 5-star worthy experience.
We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday and were very pleased. I had the sea bass and it was wonderful.
Donna, thank you for the great feedback. We are honored you chose to bring your husband to Wissota for his birthday dinner. We are also very pleased your seabass was wonderful! We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again.
Quality of steak was unacceptable for price. Octopus appetizer was rubbery and over seasoned. Steak was prepared medium rare as ordered, but was chewy and lacked flavor
Bella, thank you for your feedback, we are sorry that your food was not prepared properly. We very much appreciate all feedback as it used as a training tool for our kitchen and serving staff. We hope you will give us another try in the future.
Food & Drinks were expensive and my steak was tough. My wife and daughter were not happy with their dinners either. I ordered a scotch on the rocks and at least that was good. I won't be going back.
Valentines
Thank you for the good review!
The food was good - not excellent. For the price and the reputation from the other Wissota locations, I expected more than we received. The service was very good and friendly, which is why she received a generous tip.
James, thank you for your review. I am disappointed we did not meet your expectations. I am happy to hear your service was great. I hope you will give us another try.
Service was slow.
There were no oysters available, which all three of us were looking forward to.
For the rather expensive cost of the steaks we had they were not what we expected.
My steak was tough and had parts that I could not even chew.
I've had better food at much lower costs all over the country.
Keith, thank you for the feedback. Without feedback, positive or negative, we cannot improve. We hope that you will visit us again and we will do everything in our power to provide a 5-star worthy experience.
Incredible experience. Out for our anniversary. Our server was awesome.
Thank you, Jeff for the great review. We are ecstatic you chose us for your anniversary! We are pleased your server made this a extra special day for you. Look forward to your return!
It was amazing!! The food was delicious. We ordered a filet with scallops and sea bass. I'm not exaggerating when I say it all was melt in your mouth incredible. The meat and cheese board was practically a meal in itself. The bacon truffle mac was a great dish to share. Tennessa our server was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Wissota Chophouse is certainly going to be a favorite go to at our house!
DiDi thank you for such a wonderful review! We are so glad you enjoyed every part of your meal and service! We look forward to all your future visits!
Excellent service and great food. Would highly recommend for dinner. A bit pricy but well worth it
MarC thank you for your wonderful review. We are pleased you enjoyed you food and service! We look forward to your return.
Price for 4 people to eat steak and lobster with 6 drinks was almost $350.00. We could have gone to Madison for better food and drinks for much less.. Not worth it.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate all feedback as we use to better serve our guest. We strive to provide the highest quality of food and beverages available to us. We hope you will gives us another try.
The food was good however pretty high priced for the area. I would only go again for a very special occasion. Noisy the night we were there. Also, did not like the high top table. Uncomfortable after an hour. Birthday dessert was very generous. Carrot cake delicious.
Thank you for your review, Jennifer. We are honored that you choose us as your birthday destination. Please feel free to request a low top table on your next visit as we would gladly accommodate your request. We are continuing to work on a solution to the noise levels in the restaurant as it can be a bit noisy when the restaurant is full. Please join us again on your next occasion.
Delicious steaks and Charcuterie board. The service was also excellent. Will absolutely recommend & be back again!
Mindy, thank you for the great review! We are excited you enjoyed your steak and Charcuterie board. We look for to your return!
Excellent new find in Janesville--high end steaks and a tasty menu.
Thank you for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your meal! Hope to see you again soon!
