Wissota Chophouse - Janesville

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.

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.

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!

We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday and were very pleased. I had the sea bass and it was wonderful.

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

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

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.

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.

Incredible experience. Out for our anniversary. Our server was awesome.

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!

Excellent service and great food. Would highly recommend for dinner. A bit pricy but well worth it

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.

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.

Delicious steaks and Charcuterie board. The service was also excellent. Will absolutely recommend & be back again!

Excellent new find in Janesville--high end steaks and a tasty menu.

It’s a really nice atmosphere. Went on NYE got a bit loud because we were seated by a large group. Great server. She made great recommendations. Should’ve passed on the calamari, sautéed in a fishy broth. Entrees were good and Mac & Cheese was yummy. She was right about the chocolate cake... enough for 2-4 people! Look, this is a high end restaurant and I’m happy to have this option in Janesville. But don’t expect the same price for a steak that you’d get at Prime Quarter. I’ve eaten at many higher end restaurants and I felt the price was reasonable in comparison.

I wish they would include their menu on their website!

The absolute only thing that saved this meal was the 10oz filet mignon. Rare plus cooked to perfection, no seasonings. The way a true chophouse should be. Prawns added on were also excellent. Cooked properly and very tasty.

Three issues: the lobster, the speed of the service, and the ambiance. Starting with the lobster: The menu is very lacking in description. So, I presumed this would be normal chophouse lobster with clarified butter for dipping on the side. Unfortunately, it was not. The butter was a "conglomerate" (server's words not mine) that included garlic (meh) and the killer for me orange. Plus, the lobster arrived drenched in the butter, not on the side. The orange taste was overwhelming and completely distracted from the flavor of the lobster. The menu should have described this. How on Earth would I know to ask? Fortunately, my husband enjoyed the taste, and we switched. He took the lobster; I took his 10oz filet.

For the majority of the meal, there were two tables in the entire restaurant and two servers. Considering this, our service was extremely slow. Took over 10 minutes for the drink order. Then, about the same for the food order.

The ambiance was OK, but reminded me very strongly of Truk't, a taco bar in downtown Beloit. Came off as a little cheap feeling for a very expensive meal. Also, a little echo-y.

Finally, EVERYTHING is a la carte on the menu. I would expect a choice of soup or salad with a dinner, but we had to pay separately for those items.

The set up is nice. The food was okay. It was $199 for two of us. Our server was great. I do not recommend the lobster bisque as it was not good at all,not made from scratch, came from a bag. The scallops were large and cooked to perfection. The steak was good. Brussel sprouts very good! The oyster Rockefeller was okay, not what I am used to, very watery. I got a beer flight, sour beers, good. Overall I feel like the price did not match our experience. I had a better experience the first time I went.

The food was amazing, the atmosphere pleasant and the waitstaff awesome. I would highly recommend Wissota Chophouse!

The crabcakes and ceasar salad were great but the aged bone in ribeye was just ok.

The food was great. The drinks were great. The wait time was kinda long on most things but we enjoyed chatting with our company and didn’t notice much.

My prawns and Mac and cheese was cold. I didn’t say anything to the server because I don’t like to complain.

Wonderful dinner and a welcomed addition to the Janesville area.

It was a very good experience. The food was great and there was a very nice selection to chose from.

Awesome experience! Its great Janesville finally has something this nice. We were very pleased. The steaks were excellent. We also highly recommend the lobster bisque.

Food was great. Steak was a little under cooked but they threw it back on no problem. Lobster bisque was very good. Blue cheese and bacon fries were too salty for me. Service was perfect.

Great food with amazing service. They have a bar that opens up to the river, I’ll definitely have to come back when it’s warmer out.

We thought we would try this new restaurant for our anniversary. it was a Thursday night and they were not very busy. I ordered a rib eye medium rare which came out well done and had a odd flavor so I sent it back and the second steak was better but not what I expected for $40. Our sides were okay but not great. Asked the waitress what Ipa was popular there and was informed that MOST of their customers don't order beer. Well my mistake. Overall it was a shame because it could have been a good experience.

I think I would love to go back with friends and try different shareables. The meal gets expensive very quickly, but if you know ahead of time you'll be okay.

Pros-
Very good food. The petite fillet and ribeye were both cooked perfectly medium rare. The garlic mashed potatoes were also delicious.
A good selection of Wisconsin craft beers on draft.
Service was prompt and friendly.
Nice atmosphere, comfortable, not super loud.

Cons-
I wasn't a fan of the roasted brussels sprouts, too many leaves rather than halved sprouts.
Family style sides are somewhat annoying (they are enough food for 3-4 people).
My SO said it tasted like everything (steaks, mashed potatoes) was cooked in an excess of butter.

Overall I look forward to going back

We had four diners and a mix of appetizers and steaks. I also had a caprese salad. Everything was very good. Lamb chops could have been cooked slightly longer. Steaks were very good quality and flavor.
