I'm Chinese and know what good food tastes like. This hit high marks for me! The tuna salad is massive in portions and could easily feed two adults (the tuna nachos are the same portion size). Pro-tip- ask for dressing on the side so you can take leftovers home without eating soggy salads in the next day. Hubby ordered garlic chicken with rice plus crab cheese wontons. The stir fry was properly cooked in the wok and smelled and tasted incredible. And not drowned in brown sauce!! Kids meals are great too - mine loved the chicken drummies! HIGHLY recommend this restaurant if you want some great Asian food in a nice setting! The prices and portions will make you and your wallet happy!

But credit where it's due: CA does attract creative newcomers who can sling some seriously excellent cuisine. That said... the Gaslight Tavern up here in Wisconsin is quietly dropping better food than what you'll find on Fisherman's Wharf these days. Yes, I said it. While California is busy charging $48 for a "deconstructed" fish taco with edible flowers and a side of attitude, our fine-fusion spot in the Northwoods is serving up elevated dishes that actually taste like they came from somewhere real -- and you won't need a second mortgage or a safe word to enjoy them. Sometimes the best "California cuisine" is found 2,000 miles away in Wisconsin. Fight me.

I am rating them a one for service. We came into their place about 7 PM. The bar was full, but…read moreeveryone had already had food or drinks. There was one big table with about 12 people. We sat there for 20 minutes without anybody acknowledging we were there. Perhaps they were understaffed, but at least offer us some drinks and say hey we'll get you as soon as we can. Then I went to the bar to get some drinks i waited there 10 minutes before someone showed up. Next the bartender never acknowledged me again and proceeded to cash out some tickets. After a total of 30 minutes, we decided to just leave. Our money wasn't good enough for them and we probably won't try to visit again. Plus, they're never open anyway.

It was a Friday night October 2025 and was very busy! The wait staff and bartenders were flying! We had parmesan cod and it was delicious! We also ordered a side of cheese curds. They were actually wedges and probably some of the best we've ever had! We saw an old menu and prices on-line so we were quite surprised by the hike in price. Our parmesan cod was $18. However it would not deter us from going again. The food and service was very good. By the time we left at 7pm it was standing room only. Definitely doing something right. Had a hard time paying our bill at the bar because it was extremely busy. I think like all restaurants now it's hard to find help, you just need to pack your patience. All in all it was an excellent experience!

We've come here a few times and decided to stop in again around 8:45 AM, there was just our party, a regular at the bar, and two other tables. I'm sure during peak tourist season this place gets slammed, but we basically had the restaurant to ourselves. We all ended up getting different things, I got the garden burrito sans tomato. It was pretty good, could make use a tad more seasoning though. The sour cream and salsa gave it a little more flavor but it was nothing special. The burrito itself though was cooked perfectly and all of our meals came out super hot and fresh. Next time I'd like to try the fisherman's skillet. Two other people in my party opted for the 3 meat skillet and omelet & both liked it. Portions are very generous here, the price is fair, and the service is good. The Village Cafe is a reliable spot for breakfast if you're in the area or wanting to try something new!

I was told there would be a wait, and by the time I had secured cocktails from the bar, our table was ready. The restaurant is very clean and has a classic Northwoods supper club vibe. We started with the cheese curds and the were excellent. My son declared them the best he's ever had. For dinner, I had the half slab of ribs. My son had filet with bang bang shrimp, and my wife had duck wontons. Everything was really good. The ribs were fall off the bone tender. Service was very good. The restaurant is located on a lake, and there is an outdoor area with some yard games. Overall, it was a great experience, and I can't wait to go back.
