We were disappointed with our dinner at the Schoolhouse this time. We've had good experiences…read morebefore, but last night the service was very slow. People who arrived later than we did were served before we were, and it was hard to understand what took so long for our food to arrive. When it did, one entree was barely warm and the broccoli on the other was almost raw. Our server apologized, but it was a less than successful dinner.

Upon arrival, it was so helpful to have our own assigned parking spot. As soon as we entered the lobby, Debbie was a delight and greeted me by name; she escorted us to our suite and showed us the amenities and answered any questions we had. The room was clean and spacious, and the grounds along the Sugar River were lovely. We were immensely pleased with our stay. The Seafood Soirée event felt hodge-podge. VIPs didn't get any sort of band to tip off the bartenders that our drinks were free for the first hour; two separate times I heard staff in other areas talking about workers getting placed behind the bar without being trained (one resulted in a coordinator having to comp a bottle of wine as the bar staff was misinformed). So the lines were long, the chairs should have been pulled away from the bar as they got in the way and people tried to sit in them. Trying to meet Andrew Zimmern as a person with manners was difficult as staff didn't even attempt to keep order and people kept budging in without waiting. The food served during the VIP hour was underwhelming. Then we get to 4 pm and walk out to the stations to find the food wasn't ready. Cue milling about. Then the two chef celebrities didn't even speak on time. We eventually left early and went back to our room. So regarding coordinating and hosting an event, they really missed the mark. We would definitely stay at the Inn again, and in fact are already talking about returning. But would we spend a few hundred dollars to attend an event there again? No.

I'll withhold or temper complaints because of the excellent service reconciliation. I'll limit…read morethose complaints to the following. 1. Not all old fasioneds in Wisconsin are great. 2. Not all cheese in Wisconsin are worth getting excited over. Ok. That seems fair in light of their efforts. Don't hang a sign saying walkins welcomed on the sidewalk when you treat those that walk in like they're not. Our server was attentive-not quite to a fault-and responded quickly. Actually he was really nice and likely oversaw the reconciliation. The high top bar setting is good-not too loud but open and I love a kitchen view. As for the food I'll mostly ignore their cheese tower-though the pickles and mustard was stand out great. But the entrees. The haddock fish fry was perfect. Though the slaw is flavorless. Truly great fish fry. Top 5 in Dane county. Their short rib was amazing. Tender. Polenta cubes delicious. Veggies great. They both suffered from the same problem. Staging. For the fish fry the fries were at best ambient room temp. For the short rib the polenta was the same. They both lose their temp fast. So. Someone plated them first and then the meat was super temp hot at serving. Time it better-freshman error. But I stand by it. Mostly great tasting food. Really good service. If halves were allowed it be 3.5

Stopped by the Culinary Nirvana food truck last night at The Rusty Bee. I couldn't believe how…read moreabsolutely delicious the food was! Their menu for the evening was the Crispy Catch, and I am a huge seafood fan so I was excited. My son, who gets deep fried cod everywhere we go, obviously opted for that. I ended up sneaking bites of it because it was SO tasty! Perfectly crispy and flavorful. The fries were amazing, also crispy and beer battered, with the perfect amount of salt. My daughter enjoyed her coco loco shrimp, and the dipping sauce was the perfect accoutrement. My husband ordered the SoCal burrito, which was the biggest I have ever seen! He let me have a few bites, and that chipotle lime sauce was divine. I ordered the fisherman's roll, because I love a good lobster roll. Sadly, this one just didn't hit home for me. The flavor was too fishy and overpowering, and I only ended up taking a few bites of it. BUT I sampled everyone else's food, and I can attest that the rest was simply amazing! Next time I will for sure be getting the Codfather, because that fish was possibly the best I have ever had. Such a great food truck, I can't wait for them to return to the area!

He thought a half of a sandwich sounded good and the prices were very reasonable. He ordered a few different types of meat in his. The sandwiches are a good size and come with chips and a pickle. I love the vibe of the place. Original murals and bar. High ceilings. You can almost imagine yourself there 100 years earlier. They had a fun story about looking at the ceiling and the dollar bills up there. The waitresses were so kind and helped my son try to toss his dollar bill up there. He was easily entertained for about 15 minutes. I'd come back!

The rhubarb bars were tart and my dad said the turtle was delicious. From what I heard, the apple bread was moist and delicious.

It had some caramel icing but the fritter itself didn't have a glaze or anything in addition so it was fairly dry. Next time I'm through the area, I'll probably try it again as everything else seemed very good.
