    Ice Cream Sandwich
    Megan S.

    Absolutely loved our experience here. Came in an hour before close but Julie N. was extremely polite and helpful. We had some delicious mains and fabulous desserts. 10/10 recommend the ice cream sandwich if you like punchy guava.

    The Business and an Espresso Martini

    My kids gave me $140 gift certificate and they love this place. So me and the wife went and it was a great experience. Very friendly service with attentiveness and great detail on the menu. We had an array of things. I couldn't say there was a bad thing on the menu to be honest. You should just check out the menu and look at the illustrations I posted. Everything is high-quality and very fresh. I highly recommend the cocktails as well. Beautiful area with a touch of very quaint. Enjoy a nice romantic evening I.D.

    Mocktail (not noted on the menu but available upon request)

    Highlights/Lowlights 1) Cool Ambiance 2) Good Food 3) Fun Menu We've been wanting to try I.d. for awhile! We made a reservation a few weeks in advance and I'm glad we did, it was pretty full! The vibe here is super cool. Not overly fancy but still feels upscale despite the pretty reasonable menu prices. The menu is eclectic with shareable small plates ranging from fries, to salads, to sushi. I wouldn't say this is the best for gluten-friendly options but the server did help us navigate the menu and seemed well informed about which options could be modified. We did the fries, harvest salad, pork belly and burger. Everything was good but a little salty for my liking. The peanut butter candy torte (gluten-friendly!) was the star for me. Cool restaurant if you are in the area!

    Short Rib & Oyster Mushroom Birria Tacos

    This restaurant was sooo good! The decor in this place is classy and cool, and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu. She helped us pick out the right amount of food and what would be best of leftovers, since our eyes are bigger than our stomachs. We loved the tapas style shareable menu, everything we ate was delicious with no notes. 10/10 will be back!

    Warm Feta Dip

    If you haven't been to I.d. yet, what are you waiting for?? This is our absolute favorite spot to dine in the lake country area. The staff is always incredible, the vibe is perfect, and the food... my goodness!! They are the perfect spot to try many smaller dishes and the best part is they are constantly changing the menu. This is what keeps us coming back! Even with the change, the new items are always amazing. Our favorite this to share (that never changes) is the warm feta dip. Also, the cocktail of choice is the "meet me in the garden" my wife absolutely loves those. You can go wrong here, highly recommend!

    Truffle Mac & Cheese
    Jasmine G.

    This place is STUNNING. From the outside of the hotel to the romantic interior, the ambiance is fantastic. The food here is constantly changing but consistently fantastic. The truffle fries are a staple, paired with a garlic aioli. The sweet fire chicken bread flatbread was great if you're looking to venture out a bit. The truffle mac and cheese is more on the Al dente side, not too overbearing of a truffle flavor as well. The wait staff is incredibly attentive, filling drinks, bringing food, and very polite. Overall a perfect date night or special occasion spot l!

    The business was the bomb

    First impressions make a difference. Welcoming and visually appealing lighting, intentionally simple yet chic decor, private dining rooms with comfortable seating and appropriately selected dining music and impeccable service. Dust off your fancy clothes this place is a great location for a business dinner or date night with your friends group. We eat with our eyes first and I.d. takes plating to the next level. If you dine with a large group you get to try a bite of each dish and you will truly leave happy and satisfied. What should you order? Glad you asked because we had the chef select our dishes and here were my favorites: Snack category - the truffle fries are to die for and of course get the crispy brussel sprouts because everything is better with bacon and bacon is truly the star of this dish. Bread category - because there is a category specific to bread you need to order it because it comes with all the bread types and foie gras and bone marrow spreads take those carbs to the next level. Shared plates category - if you haven't tried a smash burger please order it you will not be disappointed. Be sure to also order the scallops which are served with a rice cake, bok choy and ginger plums which makes for a fantastic bite. The hanger steak marinade was very flavorful and comes with broccolini and I'm a fan of broccolini. Dessert category - you will be full by this point but order all the desserts because you just try a small bite of each one. My favorite was the caramel apple accompanied with horchata ice cream and a fancy designed cinnamon sugar fried dough. My next favorite was the chocolate pecan crunch bar served with butterscotch ice cream - truly sweet. For certain a five-star dining experience - make your reservation today.

    Last night we had my birthday dinner at I.d. inside the Delafield Hotel. This place has been on my yelp list for quite some time. We are also glad that we ended up there for dinner. Our server, Parker, started by telling us the history of the hotel, and what type of restaurant I.d. is. Which is a small plates shared experience. And let me tell you, you will have an experience. We had a party of four, and we chose to have 4 to 5 starters, three main shared, and some flatbread. Also, he recommended the craft cocktails from the menu. They were absolutely amazing. You can't go wrong choosing any one of them.He recommended the craft cocktails from the menu. They were absolutely amazing. You can't go wrong choosing anyone of them. My favorite was"Meet me in the garden". Parker also recommended what type of wine to pair with the menu. All of the shared plates we had were very generous in size, more so than you would find at a normal tapas type restaurant. from the truffle fries, to the tempura foraged mushrooms,to the Hagar steak everything was fabulous. From the beautiful decor, to the dinner, and a sweet finish with a birthday cake for me , the evening was wonderful. Largely due to the magical Parker our server. If you are lucky enough to have him attending you for the night, you will lack for nothing. Great place for any special occasion, date night, dinner with a group of friends. Highly recommend. The one thing that was something that could be improved upon, is when the courses came. I felt like they were rushing us? I thought it was going to be spaced out a bit more than it was. I felt like we had food on food on food on the table. We even asked if they could slow down the courses, which they said they would, but they did not. That is the only downfall.

    Kimchi pork belly pizza
    Sandy N.

    A shout out to the Delafield Hotel. If you live in WI and want a staycation, I definitely recommend staying at the Delafield Hotel and dinner reservations at I.D. I am a bit weary on hotel restaurants but I love this place. The ambiance is cool and sleek. The food menu alternates to keep things refreshing. I noticed the drink menu doesn't change as frequently. The server recommended a couple duplicates for our party of 6 but we could have stuck with 1. The favorites of the night were warmed whipped feta & herbs, peruvian grilled octopus, and black angus tenderloin. The smoked chicken and chorizo paella and kimchi porky belly flatbread were a fun take. I personally would pass on the double cheesy smash burger and the short rib & oyster mushroom birria tacos. They were tasty but do yourself a favor and go to a burger or taco joint for these items. Service was attentive and the food came out at a good pace. Definitely check out I.D. There is a little something for everyone on their menu.

    Textbook Merlot

    (NOTE: This is a reprint of a review I made on May 25, 2025 under my old profile.) My husband and I enjoyed our first experience at I.d. last night, along with his sister and her husband, long-time fans of the restaurant that offers an exquisite menu to match its elegant and inviting decor. Our server, Kim, was cheerful, welcoming, and attentive, and helped us make a few decisions since there were so many exceptional options. My husband and I ordered a bottle of Textbook Merlot, and my sister-in-law went with an n/a version of their Walk in the Garden cocktail upon Kim's recommendation. Both were the perfect accompaniments to our meal, which included the warm whipped feta appetizer, grilled octopus and Early Harvest salads, pork empanadas, scallops, Korean BBQ lettuce wraps, and the tri-tip flatbread. My SIL is gluten-free and except for the empanadas and flatbread, she was able eat everything else (she was even given GF crackers in addition to the pita that came with the whipped feta). The standouts for me were the feta, empanadas, and scallops. The octopus, while tasty, was a little cooler than my liking (but it was in a salad, so I should've expected that), and the flatbread was a bit salty for my taste (but I hardly salt anything, so that's not a surprise either), but nothing was left at the end of the meal because as a group we found it all to be delicious. Overall, our first visit was an excellent experience, and it certainly won't be our last!

    Does anyone know if I.D. has outdoor seating and if it faces west and if they have umbrellas or any protection from the sun?

    Wow! What a beautiful, historical-type asthetic! For starters, the inside (three stores; two dining…read morefloors) is very large and has an impressive amount of outdoor seating, and accommodations for small live music. I can only speak for the Mother's Day brunch; we went with 6 adults and a child, and for such a large buffet it flowed seamlessly and the food was constantly being replaced to keep it fresh. Large variety of food. Table service was fast and consistent and all of the servers had a positive attitude. Reasonable price per person and all-you-can-eat. Only complaint is that there is no changing table in the small 2-stall restroom. It seems like a small thing but it makes for needing to either lay our small child on a floor mat or going out to the car. Street parking only, but definitely manageble. My parents and their friends really enjoy coming here. Really looking forward to stopping by for lunch or dinner with a drink at the bar next time we're seeing them!

The burrito had very little salsa on top and did not include any on the side (avocado charge was 6$ which manager then corrected). Margs were just okay, no offer for a flavor rim with the spicy marg. There was also a poor smell outside where we sat at the patio (from the nearby wastewater plant). The rice on the burrito also tasted more like the prepared rice at the grocery store rather than traditional Mexican rice). We also realized the soup cup charged one dollar more than listed.

When it arrived, I knew right away that It wasn't going to be very good. It was a plain looking salad but not many other salad choices that looked good to me at the time. The salad was made with chicken thighs, which struck me as a little different from the beginning and is a cheaper meat. There was maybe six tiny little chicken thighs on the plate. The buttermilk fried breading was so over powering and when I cut into the chicken thighs, there were strings of tendons and very fatty. Multiple pieces I couldn't eat. It was not a good salad. The other two people I came with said their sandwiches were "okay, but nothing special". Sadly we are not rushing back.

The place is veteran owned and has a military flare to the decor. For our area, this is welcome and we have nothing like it. They also frequently have live music, and I do love me some live music. The service has been great both time I was there. I sat at the bar the first time and a table the second...just to make sure the service was great in both locations! Of course bar service is always faster because you are right in front of them, but I will say I did not have to wait at any point to sit, order, or pay. They were friendly and genuinely wanted to make sure everything tasted as good as it looked. When I go to places that run specials I am voted less likely to order off the menu and I have stuck with that philosophy with SteelTank. The first time I had a steak and shrimp pasta. It was so good I could not stop eating it. I ate nearly all of it and had zero regrets, but I was happy I had a few bites left to enjoy the next day. Second stop, Sausage & Pepperoni stuffed Bavarian pretzel. This pizza of the week is delicious! The pretzel is cut in half and stuffed and not hollowed out as most places do. You can see from the pictures it is stuffed and you can taste the pizza. Greens with a pizza you say? YES! So good, the vinaigrette dressing that is on that pretty little salad is making my mouth water as I type! Specials were not mentioned either time I went. The specials are posted on Facebook and that is how I knew about SteelTank and what I should order. That would be my only complaint, when you receive a menu patrons should be told what the specials are - or - post it somewhere so people know.
