I did feel a little underdressed, actually, in a sweatshirt, because this is the kind of place to take your country club grandpa. But we were seated graciously at a gorgeous oak (?) bar while we waited for a table. Pro tip: a 'sweet' old fashioned, in Wisconsin, means a splash of lemon lime soda; 'sour' means a splash of grapefruit soda. At one point my husband asked the difference between a supper club and a restaurant. There's some history there which is fun to learn but these days I think the main thing is that this menu is never going to feel the need to keep up with trends. You will not see a chickpea on this menu. Instead you will see words like "fish fry" and "schnitzel" and "market price" (other similar dishes hover around $34). We had a basket of some of the best dinner rolls ever--fresh, hot onion bread, pumpernickel, rye. Then the French onion soup (piping hot) and the rahmschnitzel--veal breaded and topped with a white wine/mushroom/cream sauce. Buttery, garlicky broccolini. Everything so fresh and so hot. Two cocktails at the bar were $12.50 and two entrees were $63.50 before tip. Frank Sinatra playing throughout the evening because obviously. Very grown up, special, delicious dinner in a historic building. I would never bring kids here--but that's just for my own enjoyment

From the 5 sauces given to us which were labeled (loved this so we could remember which was which), the creamy mac and cheese to the perfectly seasoned pulled pork, everything was so good. The ribs were nicely sauced and perfectly tender. We split a 2 meat (pilled pork and 3 ribs) with 2 sides ( mac and cheese and chili (up-charge)). The portions were generous and well priced.
