We enjoyed trying a flight of beers, and honestly, we liked everything we sampled! I especially loved the fish tacos, which our waitress recommended--they were delicious! The whole place is super cute, with fun inventor-themed décor throughout that ties perfectly into the name. Great food, good beer, lovely views, and friendly service made for a really enjoyable experience. Definitely a great stop when you're in Port Washington!

You can sit under the pavilion or bring your own chairs and find a nice spot to sit in the grass. Just a note: Be sure to bring some table top games, soccer ball or football to toss for something to do if you bring the little ones. There is a park just a bit away that you can walk to along with Possibility Playground. Most definitely worth a stop to check out and quench your thirst and enjoy the music, atmosphere and views!

We stopped in here during the Port Washington Fish Days…read more Atmosphere: Huge bar and seating area. They have tables and booths and a large outside patio area that does have giant umbrellas to sit under. Unisex bathrooms that were insanely clean and our table was clean too. Great views of Lake Michigan! I saw two entrances but I think there may be more, but one of the entrances was off the marina so easy access to get inside after boating. Service: Our waitress was super friendly and attentive even though she had a lot of tables. Appetizer was at the table within 10 minutes of ordering and our entrees came out 25 minutes after we finished with our app, great timing! Food: ORDER THE TEMPURA CAULIFLOWER. Seriously this is the best fried cauliflower I've ever had. SUPER crispy outside, seasoned really well, perfectly tender inside, huge pieces and small pieces and the dipping sauce is delicious (I think it's gochujang and rice wine vinegar). I seriously would drive all the way back here to get them. I will dream about them. The reuben was really good, corned beef had a ton of flavor, lots of cheese and kraut but definitely get it on the rye bread. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because the flatbread/nan bread? they have for all their sandwiches is impossible to eat. The people at my table, and the two tables next to us all ended up eating it with a fork and knife because it just fell apart. I wish I didn't live an hour and a half away, I would come here all the time for the great beer selection and food (mainly the cauliflower).

We spotted Schooner Pub and its patio overlooking the harbor, so we decided to give it a try--and we're so glad we did! It's a no-frills little bar, but the patio was wonderful, the service was great, and the brat burgers were even better! We loved our dinner and beers while enjoying the harbor views.

I had the Aviator which was refreshing and the Blackberry Smash which was tart and delicious. I had the short ribs - superb with a rich brown sauce that had such depth of flavor. So satisfying.

We went to Twisted Willow on a Saturday evening for supper to celebrate our wedding anniversary,…read moreand overall, we had a good experience. The food was definitely the highlight. I especially recommend the Thai Peanut Shrimp--it was incredibly flavorful and came with a generous amount of shrimp. The Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer was another standout. It was served hot and fresh with a light, crispy breading and a delicious dipping sauce. So good! We also had cocktails, which were just okay for me. They tasted a little watered down and weren't as spirit-forward as I prefer. I also thought the décor felt a little tired and didn't quite match the more interesting menu. Overall, though, we really enjoyed our dinner and would recommend Twisted Willow if you're looking for something a little different and flavorful while visiting Port Washington!

We were shown a quiet booth immediately by a nice woman and given cold water and menus. We ordered cocktails - both of which were refreshing. Mine was supposed to be neat, but came with a ton of ice, but it was a small inconvenience. Note - they do have a massive gin selection you can access via /QR code if that's your jam. I ordered the German Kasespatzle, their main vegetarian offering, $20.00 - Hand Made Spaetzle, Caramelized Onion, Roasted Carrot, and Mushrooms with Mozzarella and Gruyere Cheese. We got Bernie's Bacon on the side for $4 for my mom to eat with her half. She ordered the crab cake special, which we also shared, which was as the server promised, no filler. Overall, this was a nice meal and tasty. The Spaetzle was rich and luxurious, very much like my grandma used to make. The roasted carrot was a new addition for me, but not a bad one. The crab cakes were very good, but basically came with a bunch of shredded plain lettuce and nothing else. I'm glad we visited and I would come again if I was in town, but this is definitely a place that favors a meat eater.

We went toward the white, given the heat and toward the dry, because we hate sweet wines. Service was friendly and quick. The pours were generous. The wines were much better than I'd expected from a small town winery, located far from any wine country. But the prices per bottle are a little high, which makes sense since they can't rely on economy of scale in production. The tasting, however, is an excellent value. The shop is cute and carries some fun wine related items. They also do classes and allow people to bottle their own wine. Make sure to say hello to the friendly shop dogs.
