    Not horrible but not great and I will likely not return to give it a second shot. I've been making my way through the list of WI supper clubs and this was pretty blah. The atmosphere was creepy basement vibes. Our waitress was not the best - she messed up the bill and sent our food to the wrong table, but she was friendly. The salad bar was ok, nothing special. My steak was well seasoned and cooked just how I asked. The rest of the food was super average and you could get at any bar. I was surprised the food took a while to come despite only a few tables being there.

    The food was good. Can't complain on that at all. And the serving sizes were generous. The salad bar was pretty minor and they ran out of French onion soup. My biggest problem was that the waitstaff didn't seem to know whose table was whose. There were like 5 waitresses at the end of the night which seemed silly and I'm pretty sure we saw each of them at our table. Was hard to tip on service because we didn't know who would be getting the tip.

    Had the Swiss steak that was excellent! Tried a couple of the special drinks which were great. So full, I had to take dessert home!

    This was a rough night!! Restaurant is new and they have not yet worked out the kinks. Here's the…read moreplay by play: 7:00 arrived with reservation 7:16 table (boy at the host station asked if I got a notice that the table was ready; I wasn't told to watch for it. We were making eye contact for 15 minutes while waiting and were 3 feet away. The notice came within one minute of when he asked if I got it). 7:48 finally a server came and we ordered our food 8:00 salads finally arrived 8:02 butter was delivered 8:13 bread was delivered (noted that several new tables of diners who arrived after we did were given bread and butter immediately upon being seated) Water was empty but was never refilled. Salad and bread plates, dirty flatware and empty butter/salad dressing containers were all still sitting on the table after we finished our entrees. Server was assigned to 7 tables or more and one of those had 10 diners. She was slammed. Not really her fault. She's not likely cooking. Many new diners were seated after we ordered, then ate, paid their check and left before we even got our food. The restaurant needs to work on timing of entrees. The neighboring table ordered steaks and seafood. One man finished his steak before his lobster came. The server helper nearly dropped it on the floor. Luckily it flipped over and landed back on the plate. The woman then said she was still missing her scallops. There's clearly an organization issue with the kitchen staff. Entrees finally arrived at 8:34. Lo and behold, the server helper kept delivering food to tables to assist our server. Ranch ordered with the onion rings was missing. Luckily we saved some from the salad. Those were pretty good. Steak was a bit overcooked, and slightly dry/grainy. Salmon and green beans were good. We ate and left within 10 minutes of getting our food. We were just that tired and hungry. We just wanted to get out of there after being there almost two hours, mostly waiting. It's also nearly impossible to get a signal and there's no public WiFi. Asked to speak to the manager was when we paid our check. We were told she was "floating all over the place" so we didn't get an opportunity to speak to her without waiting again and that wasn't an option; the only choice was to leave this review. Bottom line: The food was pretty good, but we didn't order anything special or fancy and we did make a reservation and showed up on time. It shouldn't take two hours for a basic meal. It just isn't worth the painfully long wait time and inconsistent service. This place could be great if they could work out the timing and service issues. If things got to be streamlined and service was smooth and timely, this could be a 4-5 Star place. It's only been there a month or so. It might be best to wait a while to try it.

Quite sizable, it has tvs throughout with seating at the bar, high tops and tables. Solid beers on tap and a menu of what you expect at a bar-apps, burgers, wings, and sandwiches. Appreciate the fact they use never frozen beef for their (quite large) burgers and source local cheese. We started with some homemade mozzarella sticks wrapped in wonton wrappers. They were great and paired well with both the marinara and ranch sauces we ordered. The burgers we also ordered on point. With the option of pink or no pink, the burgers were chargrilled to order and as I mentioned above, substantial. Our bartender was great and checked in on us regularly. I'm not in Watertown much but wouldn't hesitate stopping in if ever back in the area.

Couldn't get the waitresses attention. After 45 minutes flagged her down to ask for our salads. She apologized. However, she spent most of the evening hanging out with friends at one table. Food took an hour and 20 minutes and was barely edible. The coleslaw was spoiled. The baked fish tasted like it had been microwaved. It was covered in rosemary and was tasteless. The grilled shrimp were excellent. The young workers (hostess and bus boy) were very attentive and friendly. Won't be back.

This may not be Ireland but it damn good a small Wisconsin town in the U.S. They have a menu of about six sandwiches, a pasta, salad, garlic bread and one dessert. I don't know if this is the menu all the time or just late night. I had the Reuben and a Guinness draught, it was a solid sandwich with kettle chips and a pickle spear. The draught was a good solid pour. The service is nice and quick. The Kilkenny cream ale is also a good pour. The chocolate mascarpone cheesecake has a chocolate crumb crust, it's a nice light chocolate mouse like pie, its a bit sweet for me, but fine for a restaurant grade bulk dessert. It's a nice place, lots of room to move, good for large and small groups. I'll keep this on my short list for when I'm in the area again.

My issue is with anything that characterizes them as a "restaurant". They're not. They have an electric frying pan on the back bar and you should expect a 30 minute wait on a simple sandwich. If you go with 2 or 3 other people, don't expect your meals to arrive at the same time. This is not a restaurant. They should just give up on the food thing and become a better bar.
