Great dinner. Beef Wellington was excellent. Definitely will go back again.

I have never been anything less than delighted by service, food and ambiance. Will continue to visit regularly, bring friends and recommend. Thanks Norm & staff for another great experience.

Norm...we always enjoy coming to RCI... and this time the Quilt Cabernet was a great new treat...Regards!

The history of this restaurant is impressive. Three of us were here to celebrate a birthday. Two of us ordered the seafood starter for two to share; at $23.00 it was meager. The amount of soup in my cup didn't equal five ounces, but it was excellent. Our guest ordered a bourbon with a splash of water; it was delivered absolutely full to the brim in a martini glass (huh?) while his second, which he requested be served in a rocks glass, barely reached the 1/2-inch point on the glass. The pastry surrounding my beef Wellington was charred; the chef should be ashamed at having let that "thing" reach the table. I can only hope our server didn't realize the condition of the pastry or I would be more than a bit regretful at the generous tip she received. The dessert souffle came highly recommended by our server, so my husband and I each ordered one (because it was his birthday, his was complementary); if it's supposed to be loose, runny and tepid, they've got a winner (we've both never before had dessert souffle.) Our guest had an apple tart which he said was nice. My husband enjoyed the entire experience immensely but did reference the disparity between the portion and price of the seafood starter.

My wife and I loved everything about this place. My lamb was to die for and my wife loved her fillet.

First time there and a good experience. Liked the history of the place. Good food, great service. nice atmosphere

Our favorite place to eat when we are in the area. The food is outstanding!

Went for wife's birthday my duck was excellent crispy skin but not dried out she enjoyed her veal . We hadn't been there in years now we have been there twice in the last month worth the drive, staff is friendly and accommodating .

It was my birthday they gave me a complimentary soufle it was very good , I had the grouper it was done great , the wild rice was a little crunchy but good flavor. My boyfriend had a new York strip very good

OUTSTANDING!! The food was absolutely amazing!! Our waitress was superb. Everything exceeded our expectations. We'll certainly be back!

Service and food were outstanding. You can not go wrong with this place.

The experience was outstanding. The food was perfection; the service (Mary Ann) was superb, and the atmosphere was everything that you could want for a special dinner.

I had the filet mignon, and my wife had the white fish. Without question, it was the best steak I've had in years, and we eat out a lot.

The best recommendation I can make is we will be dining at the Red Circle Inn again soon, but this time we'll be taking our best friends with us.

A Wisconsin historical gem. If you're craving a classic dinner dish, such as Osso Buco or Beef Wellington, this is your spot. Veal Oscar was a special last night and it was out of this world. The service was excellent and the Red Circle Inn is both cozy and elegant. Dessert was on them because it was our anniversary. What a lovely evening we had. Highly recommend.

We celebrated 2 birthdays and had a great time. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding.

Excellent experience, friendly and great food both off the menue and specials

Red Circle Inn was fantastic. Service, atmosphere, food - everything was wonderful. Our server, Vicki helped make a memorable evening and birthday celebration.

The best food I've had in a long time. Superb! And everyone was so friendly. Nice quiet atmosphere for date night.

We’re never disappointed with the Red Circle. The food is always interesting and excellent. The service is professional and complete! The ambiance is more traditional and not hip. But, the quality is consistently high.

Always excellent food, service, & drink!!!

We were put off immediately when 5 of us entered the very crowded vestibule and were rather rudely told to move aside. Then we were seated in the most boring, windowless, ugly room. Our waters went unfilled even after asking for them to be filled. Our waitress failed to mention that the default salad dressing was a cranberry vinaigrette. It was only when taking the final person’s order that we heard about any salad dressing choices. Our waitress did nothing to engage us. C’mon, if you are charging those kind of prices, you better have great service. The meals were delicious, but we were pretty turned off by the whole experience. None of us will return.

The overall experience was very pleasant. The food was fabulous but a little bit pricey. The server Julia was fantastic. We sat in the bar which was just fantastic.

It is rare situation that combines a short drive, casual dress and elegant dining for a memorable dining experience. It is a gem in Lake Country!

This is our 'go to' special occasion restaurant. The bistro/bar is warm and welcoming, and the restaurant side is quiet and romantic. The chef is amazing; however, the sauce on the grouper special was salty on this occasion. The filet has never let me down. I love that they have traditional favorites such as beef Wellington and creme brulee, but also take risks with spicy fare and non-traditional items on their specials menu. We live in the area, but this place is worth a drive to Lake Country.

This was our first visit. I was a little bit disappointed by the decor, but the service was excellent which can be difficult to find in lake country. Really wonderful server. Delicious dinner and cheesecake. We will definitely go back.

We have been to the Red Circle Inn several times. We have always found the food to be excellent. We love the Beef Wellington and the sniffles. We like the ambiance of an inn which has been there since 1847.

Consistently a special dining experience. A menu that offers seafood to meat to small plates and bistro dining in the bar. Libations always to taste. A wine list to satisfy any palate. Your meal is paced well. Service is friendly with great attention to details . One of our top five favorites.

4 of us had an very nice dinner here. All the meals were excellent . We ordered the Beef Wellington, Duck Montmorrency and the fresh Whitefish fillet. The food was prepared perfectly. The entrees came with whipped potatoes and fresh vegetables. All meals came with soup or salad which were excellent as well.
The ambiance is very nice and service was very good but not intrusive. Prices are moderate $28-39 for the entrees we tried.

Red Circle Inn touts itself as Wisconsin's oldest restaurant. We had a nightly special (blackened grouper) and the lobster. Both were excellent -- the whole lobster in particular was a very good value at $44. For dessert we had a chocolate souffle, a rare find on a restaurant menu.
Service was excellent, but for some reason the waitstaff seemed determined to seat us near the kitchen in a dining room full of vacant tables. We finally prevailed on another table, but we later noticed staff once again steering diners to the table near the kitchen. There was live jazz duo in the bar, which competed with recorded music playing in the dining room. Finally, the dining room was a little cool -- maybe the table near the kitchen got some reflected warmth.

Wonderful food as always and great service. Most tender pork I’ve ever had and attentive staff.

Such a treat to have incredible food and off the charts service. Both of us were celebrating our birthdays and we were treated like royalty. The Cesear salad was terrific and the Whitefish outstanding. They treated us to a souffle. Neither of us had ever had one before and at our age..... We wanted to lick the plate, it was that good. Highly recommend!

Great service, great food, great atmosphere!

Very enjoyable with great food, service and
good wine selection for everyone

Had a nice anniversary dinner here and would definitely return. Very good food and great service!

Red Circle Inn is a wonderful blend of classic upscale dining and casual elegance. We enjoyed every moment from fabulous wine, tasty salads, wonderfully prepped entrees, and decadent desserts. Katherine our server was professional and warm without going overboard. If you haven’t been here lately, you’re missing out. It was awesome!

My husband and I went to have a date night/celebrate my birthday. I had not been there before. It is now one of my favorite restaurants! Everything was amazing! The waitress was great! The food was wonderful! Everything we had was delicious! We will be back! I recommend this to all.

The Red Circle Inn is a gem situated in the heart of lake country area. Great spot for quiet conversation with friends. We enjoyed drinks at the bar before being seated at our table in front of the fireplace (great on a cold night in Wisconsin). We enjoyed the oyster's rockefeller appetizer (which could've been a meal in itself). Everything we ordered was better than the we expected, Osso Bucco (2), Beef Wellington & the steak of the night New York Strip was all done to perfection. I had Veal Osso Bucco & I can say without hesitation it was outstanding piece of meat I have had in a long, long time! It came with the best bussels sprouts I have ever had & real mashed potsatoes. All 4 of us brought left overs home.
Definitely worth the price you pay. Although I would'nt be able to eat that way every week, it's a wonderful date night or gathering place to enjoy great friends & great food.
And leave room for the Grand Manier soufflé, you'll be glad you did!

excellent food. excellent service. friendly. a real gem.

We were seated on time. Dining area well lit. Waitress had a great attitude and explained the menu, wine list and specials well. Every course was served on time without being rushed. All food was perfect, except that the roasted duck dish was a tad on the dry side. Wine was specially priced and my wife's souffle was gratis as it was her birthday. Overall we had a wonderful dinner.
