    Short Ribs Hash Special
    Ben D.

    Stopped in to the lumber Inn in Delafield Wisconsin this morning while running errands. As usual was seated promptly and the service was quick and efficient. I decided to change up my typical morning fare for their short ribs hash special. I'm glad I did. It was absolutely delicious. Perfectly poached eggs over incredibly tender short ribs. Crispy kale and sweet potato's rounded out the hash covered by their great Hollandaise sauce. Lumber and is still one of my favorite breakfast spots in Lake country Wisconsin.

    It was a lovely diner with awesome service. Not a foodie kinda place though. Just an ordinary diner with ordinary food. I had the lumber inn skillet with the potatoes on the side and eggs over easy on top. The sirloin steak wasn't properly cleaned or cut. Some pieces were too big and some too little. It was like I got all the odds and ends of leftover meat. A lot of the pieces also had big chunks of fat or long pieces of ligament that I couldn't chew through. It was one of their pricier dishes so I expected better. Eggs were cooked perfectly. My older friend had the Patty Melt. She said you can't go wrong with this. And liked it. Also a random "surcharge fee" at the end of the meal (just a dollar and four cents) but I have no idea what that's for. Surcharges should be disclosed.

    Yum! Such a fun find to hop in for a quick breakfast. This place was hopping on a Saturday morning but we were sat really quickly and the service was excellent. The food was really good. Enjoyed it!

    My FAVORITE breakfast spot! The service, food, and atmosphere simply never disappoint! It gets busy, so go early to avoid a wait however, I have never waited more then 10 minutes for a table. The inside of the restaurant is riddled with antiques and historic items about the restaurant and downtown Delafield. It is a warm inviting atmosphere and the server's are always in a great mood. I have never had an empty coffee mug or water glass. They also have a handful of tables outside, but they get snatched up pretty quickly - if you want outdoor I would say a 7:00am arrival is best for no wait. The food though...so, so good. I ordered the seafood benedict and that hollandaise sauce tops all others I have ever tried. If you love eggs benedict Lumber Inn will ruin you ability to eat it anywhere else! My son ordered the sunrise wrap and it was also very good. He had to take half home it was stuffed so full. When they ask fruit or potatoes, do yourself a favor and be unhealthy. The potatoes are perfectly cooked with just the right amount of crunch and soft potato.

    Lumber Inn is the GOAT of all breakfast spots. They are consistently excellent every time you go. Service is fast so if you have to wait to get a table, you won't be waiting for long. Everyone working there is so nice and friendly. They have your typical breakfast foods, and also serve lunch options. For all the times I've been, I've never gotten their lunch options but I bet they are fantastic as well. Can't recommend lumber inn enough!!

    The food was amazing and the service was friendly and fast. We aren't from the area but have plans to come back when we pass through town again. Highly recommended!

    Good morning! Today my Wife and I tried the Lumber Inn for breakfast for the first time. First I have to say the food was phenomenal and the amount of food that I had was well worth it. The inside had plenty of room to sit and enjoy yourself. Our Server Jakob was phenomenal and I have to say his knowledge of the food was amazing too! Jakob was very patient and helpful when it came to the menu. Two thumbs up for Jakob! I will definitely be recommending this place to all my friends and family! I will also be sharing my experience with other people's.

    Reasonable wait time with friendly and prompt service. Pirates were fresh and tasty like homemade. Spacious parking and bright lights. Pancakes were a little tough on the exterior but tasted ok. Poached eggs were so runny I barely ate them as they turned to yolk soup. Coffee is light so if you like strong coffee you might want to o have it black. Hand sanitizer at the table is a nice touch! Very popular location and seemed the whole town was here!-love the teamwork and communication they have here!

    A surprise in hidden price

    I will not be unfair with the rating but I will be honest. Traveling through, we stopped at a location in front (corner restaurant) there was another restaurant that I will not mention. They referred us to LI for reasons I do not remember, but question. Brunch. The food was good. The time it took somewhat reasonable. The server has room to improve in remembering things. To make it clear, our bill was $28 and some change. We have $40 dollars and we were going to leave a tip of $7 on the table. Strangely, she gave us a few quarters back and said she would be back with the $10 dollar bill in a moment. After time went by, we asked her again and she said "oh your bill was actually $38 plus dollars and she walked away. Keep in mind we are from California. We started to walk away, but I had seen the total and what we ordered made no sense. Somehow, the invoice she gave us disappeared. They were trying to say we ordered something different. They were quick to remake a receipt for that and come to find out it belong to another table. After about 7 minutes, they handed us a $10 dollar bill back, with jo receipt at all. They did not find our order receipt and send us on our way. Read between the lines and come to your own conclusion. Here is mine: How many times does it happen per shift and per day? How many people do not look? And what does that do for the inventory and balance sheets.

    First time visiting Contento. Located in beautiful downtown Delafield. Nicely decorated inside with…read morea huge lighted sign on the wall - TACOS. We were seated promptly and the place was almost full for Saturday dinner. After a short wait, they brought us table waters and left a large bottle of water for refills. I was a little disappointed that they didn't get us started with chips and salsa as is typical for most Mexican restaurants. They have a nice liquor selection and an expanded page of a variety of Tequilas and specialty margaritas. The menu is limited to only one page but focuses on a nice variety of appetizers, Tacos and meals. For starters, we ordered the Chips and pico de gallo. The pico was very fresh and tasty and came with a generous portion of tortilla chips. For dinner, we ordered 3 tacos each - Manolos Bam Bam chicken tacos, Milwalke taco, Shrimp cilantro tacos, and the Quasi birria taco. When they arrived they seemed pretty small but our eyes were bigger than our stomach. Each soft corn tortilla taco was loaded with the selected meat and accompanied toppings. Each one was very delicious with generous amounts of chicken, shrimp, and steak with just the right amount of spice. After 3 of them I was stuffed! For dessert, we tried the stuffed Churros which were lightly coated with cinnamon and came with 2 dipping sauces of chocolate and creamy donut glaze. So good! Overall, we had a great experience at Contento.Nice atmosphere for lunch or dinner. The Lucha Libre pictures and wall paper in the men's bathroom were very cool!

Found out tables were only available via reservation which I thought was a bit odd for a Mexican restaurant but we were offered a seat at the bar so we jumped on that. Inside the decor was festive with a number of Frida pictures and great wallpaper in the restroom. We ordered guacamole and tacos. The guacamole came out quickly and was tasty, with a slightly sweet twist due to the pomegranate seeds and chips just as I like them. I ordered the milwalke and manolos bam bam tacos. I preferred the bam bam because it was filled a bit more but I didn't love the mayo based sauce on either. I would've preferred that on the side or, even better, an offering of salsa instead. I would've loved to review their salsa but only heard about it as I was finished up and it was offered to the couple sitting next to us at the bar. I was excited to try here but there were a few misses during our visit so we'll head to other local restaurants when we're in the area for a more satisfying meal next time.

For $30 we enjoyed a wide-ranging buffet which included clam chowder, salad, potato pancakes, fish tenders, small red potatoes, pearl carrots, and a variety of desserts. We took our time and enjoyed each course, and also the ability to have easy conversations in a nicely quiet room. The Old Fashioned drinks were done well, and the entire evening was very nice. The fish buffet was held upstairs with a beautiful view of Nagawicka Lake. The tables are spaced apart nicely and the service was attentive.

We ordered the Beef Wellington for two, priced at $180. Unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing renditions I have ever been served in an upscale establishment: * The beef fillet was cooked well-done throughout, with no trace of the requested (and customary) medium-rare centre. * The mushroom duxelles layer was wet and under-seasoned. * The puff pastry was completely soggy on the bottom and lacked any crispness; it essentially acted only as a vehicle to soak up excess sauce rather than providing texture and structure. * Overall presentation and execution made the dish feel more like a reheated, mass-produced item than a freshly prepared, premium offering.

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.
