Friends ordered martinis, pineapple honey (pictured), pear, and the mochatini. I tried the blackberry mocktail which was delicious and refreshing! Friend tried the pistachio mocktail which they said tasted like ice cream in a cup in the best way. They have so many martinis and drinks to choose from - non alcoholic are not listed on the menu but can be found online. Located in downtown Ocon with beautiful views of the lake.

First time here. We were super hungry, and this place happened to be on our way. There were only a…read morefew people at the bar when we arrived. Food: We ordered the Gyro Wrap, Bacon Cheeseburger, and a side of Sweet Potato Fries. The cheeseburger was very good, although the bacon was a bit dry and overcooked. The sweet potato fries were also good, arriving hot and flavorful. The Gyro Wrap was a bit disappointing. The meat looked like thin slices that had been thawed out and overcooked. On the positive side, the prices were very reasonable. Service: The bartender was very friendly, greeting us as we entered and getting us settled at the bar. She was also the cook and was doing her best to keep drinks filled while preparing food orders. The place became busier after we arrived, and one of the regulars actually jumped behind the bar to act as "Johnny-on-the-spot." How's that for customer loyalty? Apparently, everyone there comes to drink. I ordered a tonic with lime, and the bartender must have heard "tonic" and assumed I wanted a gin and tonic. This happened twice in a row. It was more amusing than upsetting. Atmosphere: The place is a typical small lake bar and grill. The décor is rustic and unpretentious. Regulars are greeted by their first names, and strangers seem to have no hesitation about getting to know their barmates. There is a nice view of the lake just across the road. Unfortunately, when you're sitting at the bar, that view is behind you. I'd like to stop back and try the Prime Rib Sandwich, which came highly recommended by the bartender.

I'd known of EJ's for a while, but hadn't gone because they're tucked away off the route I usually…read morego. It wasn't until recently when they started to actively promote themselves on social media that I thought of them before others as a place to try. I called in an order of fried haddock with potato pancakes and mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. I also ordered an extra piece of haddock. The food was ok. The the mozzarella sticks looked homemade but the potato pancakes did not. It weirded me out that the haddock was in little pieces instead of traditional sized pieces. The breading didn't have much flavor, which was a shame given how much fish there was. When I asked for the extra piece of fish, I was told by the person that answered the phone that they didn't know the cost as they were just helping out that night. I (unfortunately) didn't press for an answer because extra pieces at other restaurants are typically close to $3 and I was ok with something in that ballpark. To my utter shock, the bill showed the extra piece (or pieces) was an outrageous $9. Never in my wildest dreams would I pay $9 for an extra piece of fish, especially when the haddock dinner itself was only $11. I should have refused the extra piece when I found out or just left without any of the food, but sadly I didn't. It also would have been nice had they waited to make the extra piece(s) until I got there and could inform me that it was $9. I absolutely would have said no thanks at that point. Note, EJ's is cash only. They do have an ATM, but I don't know what the fees are for using it.

I might be the target audience for this place…read more Wauwatiki Bar and Grill is a Wisconsinite's wet dream paradise. This is first and foremost a dive, with a solid food menu featuring gluten free and other allergy conscious foods on top of carribean staples like Jerk Chicken and Hawaiian fare like Poke. Prices for drinks - within the category of Tiki - are low. Plenty of classics smashed into a 12$ price tag and done well, with only some balance issues a snob like me would notice. My Mai Tai was solid, with a big focus on the curacao. My partners Banana DTO was a splendid sugary cocktail - which suited her extremely well. The garnish was also awesome! A banana dolphin catching a "fish". Jerk Chicken Hoagie was also very good, although dry. It isn't suppose to be 100% authentic, but the flavor is there and has a good kick of spice. It also came out FAST! Within a few minutes. Look, I love a good dive bar and I absolutely adore tiki. This is the kind of place I can spend hours in sippin on adult beverages and catching up with friends. It's a neighborhood spot that extremely welcoming. I think even the most tiki elitest would have to agree that this place is at least a great hang, regardless of what they think about the drinks. Would you rather have your Mai Tai be 18$? I don't think so.

Even though Id idnt get a drink, my friend and I did order some food. She got the fried rice with shrimp and I got the fries with spicy aioli. The fries were seasoned with a sweet and salty mix. I thought it was very on theme for the tiki bar. The spicy aioli was not too spicy but definetely brought another flavor element to the fries. Now I didnt really like the fried rice. I thought it lacked flavor despite having ingredients like pineapple and edamame. It just tasted like onions to me. I wish the soy sauce flavor had come through more. It just didn't hit that tropical feel I hoped it would. I did LOVE the egg. The yolk definetely helped add a texture to the fried rice that made it more enjoyable for me. I would try the food again next time I come to try those mojitos hahah!! This place is definitely very cute and aesthetic. I would absolutely invite more girl friends to come here for drinks.

The cocktails are exceptional. Every drink feels carefully crafted, with unique flavor combinations that still remain approachable. You can tell the bartenders really know their craft--they're happy to make recommendations and clearly take pride in what they're serving. Service was just as impressive as the drinks. Friendly, attentive, and never rushed, even when the place gets busy. It's the kind of spot where you feel taken care of without it being over the top. Whether you're going for a date night, catching up with friends, or just want a high-quality cocktail, Tied House delivers every time. Definitely a five-star experience and a place I'll keep coming back to.

I'd complain about the pricing because $13-$15 for a 1.5oz shot of Tito's is crazy imo, BUT for the elevated yet relaxed atmosphere? Fine. And I'm not ordering a shot of Tito's when literally everything we tried on their menu was FANTASTIC. The flavors were original and creative. I love the variety of glasses, and the garnishments. Negatives: our waiter brought our check before even asking if we were done. He didn't come back. I eventually had to go to the bathroom and caught up with someone else that could help me as I wanted to get a small bottle of the Banana Ramma to go home. That made up for it. Overall, loved the experience! Not a place to go often unless you have the (which, I'm jelly bc I absolutely would be here more). But a great place for a special night out.

During the summer, the windows are gone, allowing for fresh air and more room to move around both inside and outside the bar. It is always packed, but the bartenders are great at getting to everyone in a timely manner. We had their famous bloody mary, which comes with salmon jerky, shrimp, and of course a full lobster tail! Definitely a drink I will come back for. They also have your classic beach drinks too, including margaritas, pina coladas, and daiquiris. If you are looking for food, they serve food fresh from St Paul's Fish Market!
