Solid martini, traditional Negroni, classic Old Fashioned, Prickly Pear Marg, and mini beers all hit the mark. They also bring out complimentary bread for dinner, which is a nice touch. I'd love to come back and try more of the menu. Heads up that it turns into a busy bar scene later in the night, so keep that in mind depending on the vibe you're going for.

A place I've gone to and will always continue to go to year after year!…read more As this restaurant is only open 3 month a year I always look forward to going! Food is absolutely amazing. I recommend starting out with their calamari or the Italian nachos are truly one of a kind. Their fish is so fresh and their Tuna is always a go to item for me as well as their desserts are always scrumptious. The wait staff is nothing but the kindest people and so attentive. I love eating both inside and on their patio on nice days. Please note this place is never empty and always packed so be prepared to wait a little bit but it is always worth it. Reservations are almost a necessity on the weekends. An Okaboji classic and will continue to eat here year after year.

A huge thank you to the entire staff!

In the many years I've been to downtown Spirit Lake, the side streets off Hill Avenue have been…read morelargely ignored (with exceptions). But during our visit this month, Javi's (Breakfast) and The Cauldron (Dinner) made our dining out list on this same street. The Cauldron certainly has a "witches brew" vibe, plus episodes of Adam's Family running on the big screen (with the sound off). It's mostly booth seating inside, plus a bar, and a huge table in the middle. One bonus is that I ran into a High School classmate (plus Wife and Daughter) here as they were walking out the door. Gayle was amused and wondered how I recognized him so fast, with my response being that I just knew. The only "Opportunity for Improvement" to note is that the food was a little slow coming of the Kitchen. As far as I could tell, there were 4 people working here, 2 in the Kitchen and 2 serving customers. And with an almost full dining room, they were busy. And we weren't in a hurry in what was basically a nice "date night". The food was fabulous, ending with cherry pie a la mode and starting with a French 75 for Gayle and a very nice Porter for me. I chose the Ember Skewers, which was a great choice, along with their salad. Gayle enjoyed her "Field and Fire" (Hanger Steak with trimmings) and a nice glass of chardonnay. The menu itself is relatively limited, but with more than enough to keep things interesting. We only come back to Spirit Lake once a year, and the Cauldron will be on our list the next time we're in town. Best wishes for a continued successful business.

The Cauldron is such a unique restaurant with a menu offering everything from gut healthy pressed juices shots, to house made cocktails, to coconut poached salmon! The house made pita bread for these wraps were delicious. I would have liked the flavors to be a little more bold. However, I know that the Midwest tastes might not be fully ready for that. Ha ha they fully leaned into their vibe and I appreciate that they took the time to make the space their own and think about everything from decor to seating to the menu. It is a new restaurant and they are still finding their footing, but I'm excited to get back there again!
