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.

Mickey Mouse pancakes. With bacon it looks like a dog. Woof woof

First time to Delafield. Tried Lumber Inn and obviously a very popular place for locals & tourists. Service was great; food was even better. So glad we tried it. We'll def be back when we are visiting again.

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.

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!!

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!

Summer special peach flambé French toast

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!

Chilaquiles Crunch wrap, mimosa, fruit, and chopped steak, homemade fries, scrambled eggs with cheese and toast!

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.

Today we dined for the first time since the Llazar Konda Group reopened the Belfré in its group of…read morerestaurants, which includes KAVOS, The Beach House Bistro and La Tavola, all in the area. We were thrilled with the familiarity but also with the newness of the menu. As it was far too hot to eat al fresco, we were given a table on the first floor near the window. We had 5:00 reservations and were seated immediately. Our server, Mason, was fun and efficient, but he also had to cover the bar so he was running. A few more staff would have been helpful as the tables filled up, and by 6:15, people were waiting outside to get a table. The age group of diners is varied, and everyone seemed to be very satisfied. We ordered the Bruschetta and the Salmon with Lemon Risotto, both of them prepared very well. The food tasted very fresh, and the presentation was lovely. I also ordered the Bolognese because I love a good dish of it. This one did not disappoint. However, the meat pieces were small pea-sized bits of beef, which tasted good, but looked a bit odd. I would like to know why, but I was too busy enjoying the dish. It is my birthday and so I was offered either a free cocktail or a dessert. I love a good treat so the flourless cake was my choice. It was a very nice birthday present. I really look forward to our next visit. The menu has lots of options I want to try.

Well, I do think it's worth mentioning they were top notch until the end and I hear there's a new chapter (possibly different, but with some of the same people involved) on the horizon. So, if when the new chapter arrives for the building where Belfre Kitchen thrived for so long, you wonder what came before and do these folks know what they're doing? They do. Belfre served up delicious food in a chic, warm, and welcoming atmosphere by servers who were kind and caring. Until we meet again, Belfre!

We chose to sit at the bar and Kevin did a great job taking care of us. A quick drink and small plate dinner and the evening was perfect. So, lesson to learn: make a reservation if you want a table.

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.

First time coming here since the big remodel. We were celebrating our friend's birthday and made a…read morereservation for Sunday brunch. I was expecting a big brunch crowd, so I was surprised that there weren't many cars in the parking lot or many customers inside. Not sure if this is typical. Food: Several of us had coffee. When I asked the server if I could get a latte, he enthusiastically said yes and offered to get me a mocha with some latte art. Not exactly coffee shop quality, but I appreciated the effort. We started with the Spiced Pumpkin Bread, served with whipped maple butter. It was moist and flavorful, with great texture. The whipped maple butter was another special treat. Super yummy. Two of us got the French omelets, another got a regular omelet with cheese and mushrooms, and I got the Smoked Trout Plate with a side of bacon. Everyone loved their omelets. There wasn't much praise for the side of potatoes. I felt they were overcooked and a bit dry, and I'm not a fan of marjoram. The trout plate was very good. The spread was nicely seasoned and fresh-tasting, with a good presentation. I enjoyed the rye bread, which was nicely toasted and buttered. The side of bacon was delicious, just crispy enough, with a good portion of four slices. Since it was a birthday, they provided a complimentary slice of their special Butter Cake with a lit candle. We all shared it, and it was delicious. Lots of different flavors and textures. That would be something I would order for a regular dessert. Service: Maybe we got lucky because the restaurant wasn't very busy. We were well attended to the entire time. Three servers took care of us, and toward the end, when dessert was served, we ended up with a fourth. All of them were very good. The pacing of the meal was leisurely and relaxed. Everyone there appeared to be in good spirits and genuinely friendly. Atmosphere: It's a beautiful space. We sat with a view of the lake. Lots of big windows provided natural light. The tables are arranged with plenty of room between them. The dining room wasn't too crowded, and it was easy to have a quiet conversation. Everything is high quality and well cared for. Even the men's room is well designed, bright, and clean. It's a beautiful spot and a good choice for a special meal. Would definitely come back for lunch or dinner.

Unfortunately, the service and follow-up were disappointing. We were not initially offered a wine list, and when we asked about ordering wine for the table, our server assumed we wanted individual glasses. The menu also referenced a soup of the day and dessert of the day, but we had to specifically ask what they were rather than having them explained to us. The biggest issue occurred when we ordered four desserts for the table but were charged for seven. I replied to one of the restaurant's follow-up emails explaining our experience and requesting contact from a manager. I received a quick response saying my message had been passed along, but more than a week went by without hearing from anyone. I then called the restaurant directly, provided my information again, and was told a manager would contact me and address the overcharge. Another week has now passed, and I still have not been contacted or refunded. I really dislike leaving negative reviews, and I gave the restaurant multiple opportunities to resolve the issue privately. While we will likely continue visiting other Bartolotta restaurants, we probably will not return to The Commodore. It is unfortunate because the food was good and the setting was truly 10/10, but the lack of follow-through has overshadowed the experience.

Cute place and good menu with plenty of options…read more We stopped in Delafield for Father's day and it was great weather to sit out at their patio. We all ordered a mix of things but started with apps. The cheese curds were amazing. Didn't care much for the onion strings. It was a surprisingly cold day so opted for some French onion to start out. They use rye bread inside which wasn't my favorite. Probably won't order again. However, the chicken tenders and fries were great. Heard the salmon BLT was very good too. The shepherds pie had a lot of potatoes so not as much filling. The beers were cold though! Similar to Leffs, they don't have beer prices on their menu. Kind of hate that. Otherwise, the service was great, the restaurant ambiance and patio were great and most of the food was good.

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!

We were very surprised how long it's been open. I decided to get a flight. In the past, I've noticed when ordering a flight usually there's a dollar or two price difference (discount) when you order a flight, but at voodoo they charge you per beer on your flight. So there's no savings compared to other breweries that I've been to. We ordered three additional different beers at the table and all of them were amazing. We ordered two different cocktails at the table, and both of them were extremely strong and hard to drink. However, the presentation was great. As for the food between the four of us, we shared the pub pretzel, chicken, schnitzel, the meatball sub special, and the truffle quesadilla. All of us enjoyed our meals and would definitely come back. Two suggestions would be: 1. We sat at a four top table. When ordering the pub pretzel the pizza pan that they used to put the pretzel on took a lot of the table up. Very limited space. I would suggest getting a half sized plate and possibly hang the pretzel? Other breweries do this. If not the same thing with pizza, you can have a stand for it. You lose so much table space that we really had nowhere to put anything. 2. As far as the paper towels on the table. Those as well take up a lot of space. It's one thing when it's a larger table, but as for a four top, I would definitely try to think of a different option. We found ourselves constantly trying to re-organize and move water glasses, etc.

The service was friendly but slow. Since we had the ability to refill our own water glasses and order from the bar, it made things a bit confusing as to if we were supposed to wait for our server or if we were supposed to treat it more like self-service.
