Recently had my first experience at The Del-bar and so enjoyed it!…read more The Del-bar is a supper club type spot in Lake Delton mixing up great classic cocktails and supper club fare in a chic dining room. For my cocktail, I got a classic bourbon Manhattan served up. It was pitch perfect. For my dinner, I got the scallops where were saucy and seared to absolute perfection (not something everyone gets right--they do). For dessert, my dining companion and I shared a slice of their peanut butter cream pie, which was, of course--a delight. Chocolate crust meets rich peanut buttery cream pie with chocolate sauce and chopped peanuts on top. Truly, what's not to love? Our server was kind and attentive throughout. Get to it!

Our table for two was not relaxing (and yes, we stated the special occasion for our visit when booking). There were constantly people brushing against our table whilst trying to get between our table and the next and around the servers. We didn't order any apps as we were hoping to save room for dessert. For entrees I went with the 8 oz filet mignon with béarnaise sauce, cooked medium-rare, creamy mashed potatoes, and clam chowder soup. My husband selected the 14 oz boneless ribeye with hash browns, and a salad with hot bacon dressing. My steak was phenomenal--cooked and seasoned perfectly, and so extremely tender--while the clam chowder and creamy mashed potatoes were nothing to write home about. My hubby loved his steak and was so happy to dine somewhere that properly cooks and seasons a steak, and he also raved about his salad and hash browns (he especially loved the crispy top of the hash browns). We did order a purple mouse dessert drink which was also yummy. Our server was very mechanical. The staff clearing the table and re-setting between courses cared a lot more and were way more personable than she was, but I get everyone has an off night and last night must have been hers. Will we come back? We'll see . . . we're off to Ishnala next.

Kalia's gesture made our afternoon. The only negative I have was the burger. The beef was unseasoned and about as blah as ground beef gets. In my book, even a blah burger is decent after you add condiments to it. But...they do need to do something with the beef before cooking it because it was really, really bland.

We recently bought a place here and have been looking for great spots for dining and this place definitely makes the grade.

On our ongoing quest to visit all the supper clubs in Wisconsin (with the list hovering around 260,…read moreno easy feat), we recently stopped by The Cove Supper Club while staying at a cabin in Briggsville. The Cove serves up the usual supper club fare with, in true supper club fashion, the option to stop at the bar prior to being seated at your table. We decided to just go ahead and order drinks at our table vs the bar and were able to be seated immediately on a Saturday evening (it was a bit earlier in the evening, but still--nice!). For an appetizer, we ordered the bruschetta, which was solid. It was served with a sprinkle of parmesan and a drizzle of balsamic. For my cocktail, I ordered their bourbon old fashioned. It was also good. My dining companion ordered a Bulleit bourbon Manhattan, requesting it served up with cherries. It ended up coming served with olives, which is an oddity we've only come across in Wisconsin. He decided to give it a whirl (rather than sending back) and I had a sip as well. We're both decidedly not fans. So...lesson learned on that one! For dinner, I opted for the broiled shrimp and brussels sprouts. The shrimp were plump and broiled to perfection and came with lemon and cocktail sauce. Delish! The brussels sprouts were steamed, which isn't my favorite method for cooking sprouts (would have much prefered oven roasted or sauteed). That said, they tasted fresh. My dining companion ordered their Wisconsin Jambalaya, which was an interesting mix of bratwurst, chicken, shrimp, and rice covered in a spicy wisconsin cheese sauce. I had a taste and thought it was great! Meals come with soup or salad and a dinner roll as well (which was soft and warm!). Our server was friendly and efficient with our meal nicely spaced. Of course we finished the evening with sharing a Grasshopper dessert cocktail, which was simply presented but delicious. Get to it!

Very disappointing experience at the Broken Spur tonight. I ordered the bourbon steak tips for $27…read more The menu clearly stated that the entrée included the chef's vegetable and one side, so I planned to upgrade my side to cheese curds for an additional $4. However, the server told me the steak tips did not come with any sides and that the menu was incorrect. She even said she has to explain this to customers frequently. If management knows the menu is wrong, it should have been corrected by now. We were also given a complimentary starter consisting of a few Keebler Club crackers, cheese curds and small containers of what appeared to be coleslaw and possibly butter or cheese spread. I tried one of the cheese curds, and it was moldy. When I told our server, she simply said, "Oh." There was no apology, and she only removed the cheese curds rather than the entire plate. She brought more curds, but after finding mold on the first serving, I certainly wasn't comfortable eating them. We asked whether the salmon was fresh or frozen and were told it was frozen, despite being priced at approximately $23. Another person in our party ordered the French dip, and the server asked whether they wanted it as a French dip or a Philly. Getting a clear explanation of the difference took far more effort than it should have; eventually, we were told the Philly simply included onions and peppers. Between the inaccurate menu, moldy food and the server's dismissive response, we no longer felt comfortable eating there. We got up and left and went to the Chinese restaurant next door instead, which turned out to be the better choice for the evening. The Broken Spur presents itself as a higher-end steak and seafood restaurant, but our experience did not come close to meeting that standard. Management needs to correct the menu, improve food-quality controls and provide its staff with better training in menu knowledge and customer service.

Ishnala Supper Club, what a wild place…read more We left home at 4:00 PM, ate at 9:30 PM, and got home at 11:15. Yes, you read that correctly. We spent roughly 3 1/2-4 hours waiting -- and somehow, by the end of the night, it had become the accepted experience. We literally drank our way through all four bars while we waited. By the time we finally sat down, we had fully committed to that adventure. And honestly? Ishnala IS beautiful. The architecture and ambiance inside are genuinely spectacular. It has an old-school, tucked-away Wisconsin supper club magic that feels like an experience rather than just dinner. I've lived in the Manhattan and the Palm Beaches and I have waited for some pretty exceptional meals - but I have never waited 3-4 hours for dinner in my life. Would I say the food is on the level of the creative, innovative, technically impressive food I've had in those places? Absolutely not. There is no creativity, ingenuity, exotic ingredients, or culinary precision you might find at a high-end restaurant in the city. But here's the thing: every single bite was actually delicious. We had a surf-and-turf meal, and everything was genuinely satisfying. Nothing felt like a letdown after the wait. It was classic, rich, well-executed food in an absolutely gorgeous setting. So is Ishnala worth driving hours and waiting four hours for? I'm not sure I could answer that for everyone. But was it a funny, completely ridiculous, memorable Wisconsin experience that we'll be talking about for years? 100%. And honestly, sometimes that's what a great night out is about. Next time? I'd bring games. Pro tip- talk to the other people waiting and laugh about the ridiculousness of it all.

Our server, Csenge, was a superstar! So friendly, kind, and knowledgeable, in addition to appearing at just the right times to check in. For entrees we had the prime rib with lobster and asparagus, as well as horseradish encrusted new york strip with sweet potato bake. I highly enjoyed my prime rib and lobster, they were both delicious and a true treat. My husband had steak in front of him one minute and it seemed the next time I glanced over, it was gone. One thing he savored was the sweet potato bake; we've never seen that on a supper club menu to date and he insisted I try it as he loved it that much. As we were finishing our meal, the owner came over to our table to check in and inquire as to how we enjoyed the experience as well as our food. That's a very rare touch in today's day & age. When we were heading to our vehicle after dinner, my hubby said tonight's date night was one he'd always remember.

I would have preferred to show up earlier, as we had no choice to bring our 5 and 3 year old that we were vacationing with. All of the staff were extremely friendly. We ordered the Nueskes bacon appetizer: very giant pieces of bacon. While tasty, it was still a bit fatty and I think I honestly prefer regular bacon. We both ordered a 12 oz Filet mignon. I got the Bleu cheese crust and my husband got the Parmesan crust. It was quite a thick crust on top and definitely added to the experience. While it was quite good, I'm not sure I'd say it was the best steak I've ever had, and certainly didn't seem worth $80. The sides were ginormously portioned, even when we got the half side of mashed potatoes for "two" we didn't finish. While we planned on going out for free dinner with the kids afterward, the kids meal prices were not outrageous so we just ordered their meals at the same time. Both dinners came with fries and fruit, so seemed like a decent value. The cocktails were reasonably priced (around $15 each). I would have liked to try more items, but my husband probably would have lost his cool if we spent even more money. The ambiance is nice, but we spent the majority of the time trying to shush our children and not disturb other guests. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience, but not quite worth the price tag.
