We just left here from celebrating our two year anniversary. Cesar Salads, 2 NY Strips(rare), Broccolini and the Garlic mash. YUM! My husband loved his steak. I should have order mine strip medium rare (instead of medium) If you need a good drink that packs a nice punch; order the Wisco Sour :) Attentive service. & Exceptional server ! Her name was Morgan read more

Top notch food, service, and ambiance on the patio! We had Harper's pasta, house meatloaf with Mac and cheese, crab cakes, Wisconsin cheese curds, and flourless chocolate torte...we highly recommend this place. read more

What a fun new spot in the Dells. It was easy to find and nicely updated. This place is huge. We went up a grand staircase to our table. Service was friendly and food was really good! Lots of options. The Wisconsin brandy old fashioned was delicious! The cheese curds were perfection. The burger was enormous but nice quality meat. We will be making this a regular stop in the Dells! read more

I love historic homes and restaurants that are unique. This place caught my eye on our way back to our hotel. We didn't have a reservation and was able to get in and seated in a room of our choosing...the Haunted Room! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was on her first day and we couldn't even tell. We ordered coffee which was deliciously rich and smooth. I am picky with coffee and this one was perfect. I would say the salmon was better than at another well known supper club in the same area. The Manor Salad was a huge portion with fresh spring mix, a lot of candied walnuts, and the salmon add on was full filet. I had the Harper Pasta which had quite a bit of shrimp and a large portion of pasta. Overall, a great experience and beautiful place to enjoy a nice meal. read more

I came here when they first opened with my husband and everything we had was fine but every menu item was a bit complicated for his taste. He's a basic steak and potatoes kind of guy. I came a second time by myself and I think that'll be the last trip for me. I went pretty early on a weeknight. They sat me in a corner at the with a family right next to me even though the room had other empty tables (they were so close they bumped into my table when they got up to leave). I eat out alone pretty frequently and don't usually mind a small space but when the restaurant is half empty, they shouldn't be seating anyone in a corner at a table so small it could barely fit the relish tray, a salad and an order of fries. I was there for girl dinner with a book and wound up listening to this family's entire meal. The food was good, and I know this is a place meant for groups and celebrations but I still won't be back. read more

Dawn Manor - Wedge salad and truffle fries - American Near Me - Baraboo, Wisconsin

We had our wedding anniversary dinner at Dawn Manor this Monday, and seeing as that is not a regular dining night for most, we didn't expect it to be as wonderful as it was. We both loved all of the history of the house and the staff let us look into all of the lovingly designed rooms before we went downstairs and had cocktails. The bartender was absolutely fantastic with both her skills and conversation and we felt so welcomed. We had two cocktails each, my favorite was the Lake Michigan Fog and my husband's was the smoked old fashioned. When we went upstairs we had a cozy table in the " haunted room " complete with a classy " happy anniversary " sign that made us feel even more special. Since we had an excellent shrimp cocktail in the bar that was so fresh and delicious, we started with salads - both the wedge and the manor salad were larger than expected and the house dressing is superb. I had the filet which they admitted to having to remake since the first didn't turn out perfect and the one they served me certainly was. We had sides of broccolini and garlic mashed potatoes that were not overly seasoned but perfectly complimented the meal. The wine list, while not too extensive, was very thoughtful as well and we had a great Cakebread Cab that was perfect with steak. While we enjoy finishing a dinner with espresso, we settled for coffee and strawberry shortcake, and they even sent us home with a chocolate mousse as a gift. It was a wonderful evening we won't forget. read more

We drove by this place last year when it was still in the construction phase so for sure wanted to try this place out on our weekend trip. We were here on Friday night, was a bit surprised they didn't have a fish fry special but was not a big deal. I'd heard portions were large so knowing me and my sister both wanted the meatloaf, I suggested splitting it. We also tacked on the loaded potato soup, wedge salad and the brussel sprouts. Everything was so good! The wedge salad came with a ton of crumbled bleu cheese, iceberg lettuce was crisp and cold, perfect. Loaded potato soup was delicious. The brussel sprouts were plentiful, flavorful, and crispy. The cheese stuffed meatloaf was really good, placed on top of mashed potatoes and topped with mac and cheese, plus veggies. Loved seeing the mocktail section. I got the demure mule and my sister got the peach Collins. We enjoyed both. Service was great. We liked starting out with a sample of their dream soda, butterscotch flavor. The restaurant is beautiful. There are a variety of rooms to be seated in. We were seated upstairs. I was surprised that the bathrooms were near the speakeasy in basement. With it being new construction, I would have thought each floor would have had bathrooms. There is also a cute gift shop. Definitely check this place out! read more

There were a lot of hits at this new hot spot in the Dells. Parking lot is open and grounds are beautiful as you enter. Downstairs speakeasy is very cool and fun. We sat upstairs by the window and were thankful that we had a great spot. Prime rib and walleye were delicious. Waitstaff were good at their jobs. A few misses: downstairs bathroom smelled very musty. No rolls, crackers, or homemade bread of any kind offered. We were celebrating a special occasion and no perks or fun treats were given or acknowledged. There is a lot of potential for this space and it was a fun experience, but other spots in the Dells might compete on a higher level when it comes to a special night out. read more

This has to be a Wisconsin Dells gem! They just opened up earlier this year, and someone in our group found this place and made a reservation for a party of 8, including two children. As you walk in, you'll see a gift shop, and the maître d's post directly facing the door. You're then shown to your table - they have dining rooms in the main floor as well as the upper floor. Their bathrooms are down in the basement next to the speakeasy bar. Their menu offers a lot of classic American and hearty variety, ranging from prime ribs, to meatloaf with Mac n cheese, to salmon dishes. The top favorite was the prime rib (this is a MUST TRY!) and the salmon dish was great! The Mac n cheese and meatloaf was also a classic. They offer some good appetizers and desserts. I definitely recommend! read more

Walked in Monday at 4pm, restaurant had no other patrons we could see, parking lot empty. Hostess asked if we had reservation, we did not, sat us at a back corner table where one of us had to look at the wall. We requested another table which was begrudgingly complied with. Server was ok but not friendly; neither was the hostess. Had to request server for the relish tray. Ceasar salad dressing was very bland. We shared the large salad however for a restaurant of this caliber I feel the server should have asked if we'd like it split, or at the very least brought us two salad plates. Steak and chop were very good. Cocktails didn't even fill the small glasses although mixed well. I'd like to give a better review because we had high expectations for this restaurant given it's interesting history but unfortunately I cannot. read more

Have been here many times since they opened, and have tried nearly everything on the menu and really enjoyed the place. Unfortunately this visit was underwhelming. The $32 Honest Abe meatloaf was not good, potato soup had a single chunk of potsto in it and the steak crostini had an odd flavor. Unlike many diners who have a subpar experience, I made a point to give a heads up to the manager. Bad move. After being curtly offered a free desert, removal of entree charge, replacement, etc. (all declined, I wasn't looking for a freebie) I was then informed that he has opened 93 restaurants, apparently I must be in the wrong. While the issues with the food wouldn't prevent me from returning, the s arky attitude we received will have us spending our money in the Dells' other restaurants. Note: they did remove the charge for the entree and soup, which was kind. read more

Dawn Manor - The house specialty..... - American Near Me - Baraboo, Wisconsin

if you're searching for an adult evening out while visiting the Dells - this is the place. Enjoyed an amazing meal with excellent service from our waitress Morgan. Flavors for everything were top-notch, from the appetizer to the entrée + the desserts. I particularly recommend the walleye. read more

Love a good speakeasy so stopped in after dinner for a drink. From the moment we walked through the door the service was amazing. Three moms with three teen girls we sat down and had mocktails they loved and fun adult drinks. Don't pass this place up, will stay for dinner next time! read more

I wanted to love it. I think it needs something extra. Inside it just looks like a beautiful home. Make it funky or make it eclectic. Or make it colorful. I don't know but - as is - just a home. The food. Same. I had the prime rib (under seasoned. No horseradish.) and basic mashed potatoes. Had the soup of the day and it was luke warm and basic. Manor salad was delish, asked for extra goat cheese but was disappointed with quantity still. I don't want to be a hater so really what I'm getting at is that this place has the potential to be an incredible spot. Ambiance needs an edge of mystery or intrigue. Food needs to be seasoned better and a little bit more unexpected (menu is safe and predictable). Maybe give me a live musician or some funky mood music. Good luck to the owners and chefs. But. Give us a little bit of zest and excitement and I'll be back! read more

Just traveling thru on business & found Dawn Manor. Ate in the bar as a single. Herman was amazing for conversation & a treat that made my dinner. They should be proud to have him as an employee. I had the best salmon I've ever had. The hoy honey nails it! W the leaks & Boursin topper!! A killer ceasar side salad & corn crem brulle for dessert. Dawn Manor isn't just reheating food like the chains in town. It's truly a great meal. read more

My second visit and more poor service: drink order delivered (late) when appetizers arrive, appetizer dishes still on table when entrees arrive, we all juggle dishes. The server was inexperienced and did not understand the flow of ordering drinks/delivering, appetizers/delivery/cleanup, entree/cleanup. Your price structure gives customers the expectation that they'll be well cared for. Won't come back. read more

We went there for lunch during the week. The service and staff were great. I got the demure mule, very ginger forward. I love ginger, so it was perfect. We shared the steak crostini, which was really good. My husband ordered the uppy burger and I had the cheesesteak. There are fries in the cheesesteak, I guess I forgot that when ordering because I got fries on the side. I should have gotten the potato salad instead. Both entrees were good. We really enjoyed the history and seeing original photos of Dawn Manor. We had a good lunch! read more

I can't tell you how disappointed we are in our first visit to Dawn Manor. I should say we were embarrassed for them for this dining experience. We went in with high expectations and looked forward to a wonderful experience. Unfortunately we have dubbed it the Haunted Mansion rather than Dawn Manor. I assume this was a very bad late Saturday afternoon for them but hard to believe it was an isolated event. With reservations in hand, we arrived early and had a great drink with the bartender Germany at the smaller bar. Very nice drink, atmosphere and Germany was great to chat with. After that it was a steep drop of a cliff. Our waitress greeted us and she was obviously drunk and incoherent. I can't imagine how the management team let her serve anyone. Unfortunate. Started with the Shrimp Tower which is a nice presentation but for $25 for 6 medium shrimps and not enough sauce... very disappointing. The ribeye was full of gristle. The au gratin potatoes were a very small serving. The chicken was very small. Lastly, the salad was served without dressing. Unfortunate outing, 3 meals, a confused and drowsy, slurring waitress and a $200 bill. The place was filling up and did not want to make a compliant with a busy front house crew. What good would of done and we just wanted to leave at this point. Paid bill and left, found it difficult to believe this happened with high expectations and other people who left strong Yelp reviews. Hope they clean this up because it is a nice location and facility. read more

Was our first time. We went for the happy hour. It was excellent the restaurant is extremely clean and well run. The service is excellent the appetizers were outstanding and the bar staff friendly and attentive. We plan on going back to try dinner. It's nice to finally see a good upscale place in the area. read more

Went here twice. First time Prime Rib was excellent. Second time I ordered Filet mignon. The filet was not what was expected. I'm used to a thick cut of filet. What I received was a flat piece of meat. read more

What an amazing place! Decor was just as expected, they had old newspapers and pictures framed with descriptions all over the restaurant which were very fun to read. The speakeasy is in the basement and although it's not very secretive, it definitely looks as a speakeasy should! Food was amazing, I had the ribeye with lobster and garlic mash, the mashed potatoes were good, but not very warm, steak and lobster was cooked perfectly, the presentation was neat. Service was very good, our server who's name was Onur and the manager did a great job of making sure our food and experience was good. I am a local and will be coming back in the near future! My bill was very large, but it was worth every dollar! read more

Dawn Manor - 14oz Ribeye with Lobster and Garlic mash - American Near Me - Baraboo, Wisconsin

Pretty much everything was at best a 3. Service was kinda slow, never asked if we wanted a second drink (wouldn't have had one, but still). We had pot pie and the hamburger. Pot pie was good, hamburger is nearly impossible to eat as a hamburger need to use fork and knife and way to expensive for what it is. Ambiance is very nice except it is very loud upstairs. We could barely communicate across the table. Not in a hurry to go back, but pretty sure we will at some point. Always believe in second chances. read more

Had a fabulous evening from the well trained, personable wait staff to the fabulous food. I will definitely go back when in the area.

Just ate here - this place is killer. Everything we had was perfect. Great service, really nice place too. I hope it flourishes.

Our first time stumbling into Dawn Manor and our experience was phenomenal. We enjoyed the adult beverages, Cheese Curds, the Lobster Mac, the Harper's Pesto Pasta and the Ribeye, Pop Rocks Cheesecake and Creme Brûlée were fantastic. Great meal. Highly satisfied. Highly recommended. read more

We had the Walleye and Amish Chicken. Both were excellent! We sat in the Raab Room on the top floor which was full and very noisy, and we were seated at a small table close to the back stairs. They were also out of filet, which was what I originally intended to have for dinner. All of this is why I rated a 4 and not 5, but the restaurant is beautiful, the food service quick, and the staff super friendly. Likely just some new opening bumps to overcome but the food is top notch, and we will absolutely be back. Even though reservations were booked, it looked like plenty of walk in space with no waiting, so don't hesitate to just drop in. A wonderful addition to the Dells. read more

We went for brunch - everyone loved it. The ambiance is so unique and the building has been beautifully restored. Staff was friendly, welcoming, and quick to replenish drinks. Food came at a perfect time. We will definitely be back! read more

Yes! A definite yes! If you're like me and like new restaurants which smell and look amazing and are not run down, this is a place for you. This restaurant is where history meets charm, a place with great esthetics, with a story to tell. Super attentive and well trained, friendly staff and food cooked with love. Stop by and visit this gem in Baraboo! We came across this while traveling on I90 from MN. Usually it's in and out type of a dinner when we travel, but when we got here, we did not want to leave. The greeters were attentive. Our server Dim was super impressive. As someone who worked in the restaurant I can tell that the management puts a lot of time into training. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. We are marking this to be our spot for trips on I 90. Try their cheese curds, prime rib bruschetta. They can hold a private party, have a lovely back deck where you can dine. A speakeasy bar for those who crave some mystery in their life. You might want to stay... read more

Amazing, cannot wait to come back. I'm making a statement and I don't take this lightly...best prime rib in Wisconsin...Boom, mic drop, prove me wrong, you can't, 9.5 prime rib, wasn't a 10 only because I'm mad at myself for not ordering the 22oz one vs the 16oz. Best prime rib in Wisconsin. read more

Our lunch was wonderful. I had the Prime Rib Sandwich and my wife had the Lobster Roll Sandwich. Both were great. Server was very helpful and friendly and shared some background on the relocation of the restaurant. The interior is impeccably decorated with artwork and furnishings from the original Dawn Manor on Lake Delton. Every room is unique and has its own character and history. The Speakeasy downstairs is loaded with antiques and memorabilia from the past. Great to have another fine dining experience option in the Dells! read more

Best restaurant experience in a long time. At Dawn Manor you're not a customer, you're a treasured guest from the greeter who held the door open for us to the Manager coming by our table to inform us of the history of the Manor. His were very interesting story's about famous historical figures. The main event, the food, is outstanding. My wife had the prime rib and I had the filet mignon. Both were cooked to perfection and tasted wonderful! My filet was crusty on the outside and pink in the middle, perhaps the best ever! We surely plan on making the three hour drive from Chicago to patronize Dawn Manor again. Finally, Dawn Manor accepts reservations. So, if you don't want to wait two hours for that other popular place a few blocks down the street, go to Dawn Manor. You won't regret it! read more

We just got back and it was a great experience. A new waiter was being trained and he was very friendly and attentive. We split the steak crostini' which was very good. My wife got the lobster mac & cheese, which was excellent and I chose the prime rib for my dinner. Which was the best prime I've ever had. The scallop potatoes with leeks are great. We split a molten lava cake it's was very yummy. I like chocolate. We were in the Frank Lloyd Wright room, which is very interesting. read more

We went here on a Thursday night with a group of 8. We were seated immediately and also drinks were delivered immediately. Plenty of staff to take care of our needs and all staff very friendly and personable. For apps we ordered the deviled eggs and dates...beyond delicious! Out server Annamarie was a delight and very good! My husband and I ordered the Abe Lincoln Meatloaf dish and it was out of this world! The rest of our party enjoyed their dishes and we all agreed the best food we've had in the dells. We all went downstairs to the Speakeasy bar afterwards and were met again with outstanding servers who were personable and entertaining. Bee and Adam were a lot of fun. I smiled at this place from beginning to end. We will definitely be back and all the other restaurants in the area better watch out because there is a new competitor in town and they are blowing it out of the water! read more

Adam at Uphoffs is one of the best bartenders I've seen here in The Dells, he's very attentive, great personality, and great with customers. Atmosphere is awesome, great place to get a small bite to eat and get some drinks. read more
