Amber Grill is attached to convention hall in the Holliday Inn. Obviously it can be accessed from…read morethe parking lot, but you can also get there by walking through the hotel and convention center. It was pretty busy tonight (Tuesday) and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with my meal. Not that I though the food would not be good, (it was good). I just expected the service to be limited and that I would have a long wait for my food. After a little bit of a wait at the hostess station, I was seated and got almost immediate service from my waitress. Drink and salad came out quickly and main course followed in a reasonable amount of time. My waitress (Bryanna) was very friendly and attentive (she even put the Bucks Game on for me)! I really liked the teriyaki green beans that came as a side with my meal. It was a nice surprise and it was way better than your basic veggie. I was hungry, so I ordered the full rack of Ribs with Jack Daniel BBQ sauce. The full rack was actually 2 half racks and one of the two was excellent but the other one was a bit dry. (So 50/50 on the Ribs!). Even the drier rack was still not bad. This restaurant has a lot to offer. It's a place that a family could bring their kids, or a group could enjoy the bar, or in my case, a great option when your traveling and you want a good meal and want to watch the game while you eat.

We were staying at the Holiday Inn the restaurant was located in. We both ordered the prime rib…read moresandwich and upgraded to the au gratin potatoes which we sent back to get heated. How ever they heated them made the cheese chewy and chunky. The restaurant is supposed to close at 10 and the bartender who is quite rude started closing up at 8:30. Removed the popcorn from the machine at that time. Eye-rolled several times. We asked if she wanted us to leave and she replied "no, there are people at a table on the other side" Fast forward to the next night. There was a blizzard but- people gotta eat. I called to see how late they were open.(Google says 10) and whoever answered said "10- no, 9:30, no, 9:00". We went there because it was pretty much our only choice. This time, there was no popcorn. It was 7:00. We asked her to make some popcorn and she wouldn't. She took my boyfriend's drink away before he was done with it. He pointed it out and she was like " oh, sorry" eye roll again. Absolutely horrible bartender. Breakfast buffet was as weak as they come. Mo bread of any sort. I asked for toast. It was the weakest thing toast I have ever had. AND- they charges me an additional $3.00 for it.

I've driven past this restaurant sooo many times. This past weekend was the day we walked through…read moretheir door. From the moment you walk in, the bar sets the tone--dark wood, warm lighting, friendly bartenders who make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. Seriously, if I lived in Stevens Point, their bar would be my go-to day drinking hangout. I will note that they make a well made cocktail from their drink menu. Further, their brandy old fashioneds are perfect, and are sizeable. To start, the goat cheese bruschetta is a must‑order. Creamy, tangy goat cheese paired with perfectly toasted bread and a nice garlic topping. I don't even like goat cheese but, there were plenty good. For dinner, Michelle's has all the supper club with the surf and turf classics. The beer‑battered walleye is exactly what you'd hope for: crisp, flavorful, and somehow not greasy at all. If fish isn't your pick, the planked salmon with a sweet pecan topping to provide contrasting flavours and textures. All in all, Michelle's is everything you want from a Wisconsin supper club: welcoming vibes, great cocktails, knockout comfort food, and that timeless charm that keeps you coming back. They do lose a start because of service...it was so slow, and I don't quite understand why because there were a number of empty tables. The other curiosity that I would mention is that when we played the leftover salmon we left it on the plank. They asked for the plank bank to reuse? They're only good for a couple uses tops before the oils are gone...and that is not entirely sanitary...but that is just me perhaps. If you're in Stevens Point, hit this place up. It's worth it.

We had our 7 month old daughter who they informed us upon arrival should have been included as a 6th person. We have never had this happen at a resteraunt and the hostess made it seem like a major inconvenience to them & almost did not seat us. The food was great, but we felt like we were walking on eggshells the whole experience.

They need to update their menus. Other than that i ordered the pecan crusted salmon in a honey mustard sauce with the Caesar salad and cajun potatoes and it was absolutely delicious. The croutons were homemade so good and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The sauce was so creamy and not overpowering. I loved it. The potatoes were perfectly seasoned not salty or spicy! I would definitely come back if i wanted to splurge on a nice dinner.

I honestly most likely would not have noticed if it weren't for the brand new waiter giving our bill to the wrong table (who actually paid for it... what a mess!) By the time we got our bill we noticed that it seemed to be much higher than we expected. Waiter wasn't much help, so my wife asked for the menu. Sure enough! Prices were different! Manager explained that it says that prices may change right in the menu. Never heard that one before!! Plus no refills on tea or soda. (Not shared by waiter) I've driven past this place a number of times and thought that a "train car" restaurant was pretty cool. Made a note to try it out. In this evening there was a packer game starting at 7:20 so I thought it would be reasonable to think that we if we were seated by 6:15 I wouldn't miss much of the game. By the time we got our bill settled it was 8:15. And there were only 3 tables with customers! Crazy slow service and our food took forever. I also couldn't understand how the 2 tables seated well after us were done and long gone well before we were. Must have known I wanted to get out to watch the game! Food was on the low end of average. Service was weak, but it was his first week. Actually felt a little sorry for him. He got flustered when the bills got screwed up. Caught hell from those customers too. Made for a tough night for him. Thursday Night at prime eating time and there was one other couple in the whole restaurant when we walked in. 2 more couples came in later. The restaurant up the road was packed. Obviously a reason. Love to help small businesses, but this was just too bad of an experience to want to go back.

I know people in the area love it and have very limited options, but if you're coming from anywhere that has probably cooked food this is just a no.

The hot food was really salty rehydrated fake mashed potatoes other high sodium overcooked things like mac & cheese people do like the fish. I just it was overdone and everything else was deep-fried.
