    Closed front of building

    Place was closed. 7pm on a Wednesday evening. Their website and the recording when I called said that they were open. I paid for on street parking and then walked up and found they were locked up.

    Gilly Goat
    Amanda H.

    One of my favorite restaurants period. Every time I come here it's a special experience with unique flavors that pack a punch. Recently I had a cranberry ginger mule with lime which was the perfect balanced tart and refreshing compliment with our food. We started with the Gilly Goat - which is my absolute fav! I love the roasted garlic, goat cheese and special blend of peppers and olive tapenade served with baguette slices. Just heavenly. I had the ahi tuna tacos with garlic tater tots for my main. Both were amazing! The tacos had edamame and cucumber which provided complementary texture with the tuna. Our waitress recommended some hot sauce which sent it over the top delicious. The garlic tater tots were unexpectedly amazing with roasted garlic crumbles. Yum! I love their seasonal menus as well. They always have an amazing range of fresh and innovative options. The vibe can range from casual to fancy it's up to you. There can sometimes be a wait but the downstairs bar is usually open while you wait. Always excellent service and clean facilities. We love High Rocks!

    High Rock Café is located in the downtown area of Wisconsin Dells. We easily found street parking which was free in the winter, but I can imagine parking is trickier during the busy season. We went for lunch on a Saturday and were quickly seated upstairs. I felt like the place had a funky, yet intimate setting. From our window on the second floor, we had a great view of downtown. The menu had some interesting choices. I had a portobello sandwich, and my husband had a pasta dish. Based on the smells and appearance of other guests' dishes, I had high hopes. But ultimately, the food was lackluster. I really wanted it to be better than it was. Maybe it was just what we ordered? Based on the atmosphere, I would return. But the disappointing food may keep me away.

    This was a nice looking place on the inside. There was plenty of seating. Staff was okay although they could have been more attentive. I got the Soprano sandwich. I thought it was average. They gave me a lot of greens but not a lot of shrimp/bacon in the actual sandwich. This is probably a one and done for me next time I'm in the area. For $13 I would want more meat in my meal. Prices were okay. We're find parking nearby.

    COUNTRY BENEDICT WICKED TUNA TACOS All American KRAFT MACARONI & CHEESE TRUFFLE SHUFFLE

    Def the best meal of our three day trip. The tuna taco is so fresh and also good flavor. Biscuits is a great plus for the Benedict. And never tired of truffle and cheese, the combination just perfect! Go for it!

    Waldorf Salad
    Tanya K.

    I've been here a handful of time (including my bachelorette party) and I'm not sure I've ever left a Yelp review. My daughter and I were in the dells on a Thursday. At 6 pm we walked right in and had no problem getting a seat. The waiter (while lacking in personality) was prompt and efficient. We had a kids Mac n cheese (nothing fancy there) and the Waldorf salad. I don't normally order a salad for dinner but this one was huge! The chicken was cooked well and the salad had a lot of flavor. I was very pleasantly surprised!

    Before I came to Wisconsin Dells I googled where to go for a dinner. There were just a few places that were rated as a wanted. High rock cafe was one of them. We stopped by and decided to give them a try. We were sitted right away, without any waiting time. Everyone seems so kind. Our waitress looked a little bit lost, but doesn't matter. Ordered two virgin cocktails - humu humu nuku nuku apua that were delicious, and two beers. For appetizers we got gilly goat and fish tacos. Gilly goat was sooo good, but since i am not big fan of taco's, I didn't like them that much. I also ordered pan-asian pork chop and my partner took a bruschetta chicken. Both were so juicy and tasty! I can freely say - perfect! We were delighted! After all, we we're very satisfied that we choose this place! Ended up happy with full belly

    Alpine grilled cheese... amaaaazing fries!

    I came here for lunch with my mom today while we took a day trip to The Dells. We arrived at about 11:30, and the restaurant was pretty busy (but still immediate seating). We were seated upstairs which had a really nice view of the goings on if the street below. Our server came out right away, and was super friendly. We ordered drinks and our meal at that time. I don't remember the name of my cocktail, but it was a fruity, champagne cocktail and tasted really nice. I did find the cocktail menu to be a little bit pricey, but not overly so. I really appreciated the fact that they also offer an extensive "Mocktails" menu. My mom got an NA Watermelon margarita thing that she loved! Not many restaurants in Wisconsin consider the non-drinker like this, so props! Our food arrived SUPER quickly! My mom and I both ordered the Alpine Grilled cheese, which is a grilled cheese with goat cheese and fig jam (and maybe one other kind of cheese,) and fries. The sandwich was really good, a little messy with the jam, but definitely a must order if you like goat cheese. The fries were next level good!!! The were crispy outside and fluffy inside and you could really taste the sea salt and pepper! These are among the best fries I've ever eaten. Only criticisms are we found it to be quite cold at our seat (upstairs and by the window). I actually put my coat back on at one point. I also would have liked maybe one or two more vegetarian options. Otherwise... great little spot!

    Wallleye tacos
    Carol T.

    We sat outside here on a beautiful day. The waitress Heather was great! She was very friendly and attentive. I had the walleye tacos with fresh flour tortillas, pico and a creamy white sauce. They were delicious. They came with home made tortilla chips. The Philly cheesesteak wrap was flavorful. Lastly, the fredo pasta was good but more buttery than creamy.

    This is, surprisingly, a chicken sandwich

    We enjoyed the Caesar Salad and the delicious Snickers Cheesecake last Saturday afternoon. The free street parking was an added perk.

    The food was over cooked and flavorless. The website is incorrect and doesn't reflect the menu.

    This is a full service restaurant that I expect would especially appeal to families, couples and…read moresmall groups. I have been here at least 8 times with a super senior who uses a cane and has a hearing impairment and several other times with the super senior and other friends or relatives. We usually come on a weekday in the afternoon or early evening when it is not very busy. The staff have always been kind and patient with taking our order and regularly checking on us. I like that the booth area on the main level is uncluttered and does not require steps to access. This makes getting to the booth easier for those with any mobility challenges and it makes it a bit quieter and easier to hear for those with hearing challenges. They have a decent size menu plus great daily specials. When we bring friends or family who can help us eat an appetizer, we always order the cheese curds which taste fresh, hot and not oily. If we don't find a Daily Special that suits us, we usually go for their Fish and Chips, Friday Fish Fry, or Mushroom Burger. They have a wide variety of sides to choose from but our typical go-to sides are the Loaded Mashed Potatoes or Chef's Vegetables. We have enjoyed everything we ordered there.
