I started with a crock of French Onion Soup which was a great combo 0f melted cheese and a tasty, buttery and salty broth with plenty of onions. I also ordered a Wedge Salad to split and it was one of the better wedges I've had. The blue cheese dressing was really tasty and everything was so fresh. My wife had an appetizer for dinner, it was the oysters lobterfeller (oyster Rockefeller with lobster bites in the mix) she loved it!

I've been meaning to come here for a while and have heard rave reviews from friends and family. I…read morewas happy to hear that my wife secured reservations for us and another couple to try the restaurant out for the first time. Being the former Basil restaurant space, the interior is more intimate, darkly lit and a sure romantic spot for date night. The waitress was prompt and helpful selecting drinks off of their menu, inclusive of wine, beer and craft cocktails. Everyone at our table ordered a different drink or glass of wine and there were no complaints. For appetizers I ordered a bruschetta, which was served on a very crispy slice of seasoned bread. What was interesting was that the tomato topping (which was perfectly seasoned with basil, garlic and other spices) was served in a bowl on the side to allow everyone to top to their taste preference. It was a nice touch. We also sampled the cheese curds, which held up well to our Wisconsin standards, and a soup which I can't remember the name of but got high marks. Now for the main course. I was not expecting to be mind blown, by my god. The namesake dish, the Osso Bucco, was absolutely phenomenal. The veal was literally falling off of the bone and was easily, effortlessly separated with a fork. I have rarely had meat this tender. On the other side of the bowl was a fantastic risotto and a perfectly seasoned stew of carrots and onions. I did not indulge in the bone marrow, but I have heard it is a delicacy. Altogether this dish was worth every penny, and I will absolutely be having it again. To finish off this fantastic meal we opted for the tiramisu, which was elegantly plated in a creative manner I have never before seen. I enjoyed the wonderful ending to this delicious meal, and when you visit this restaurant I'm sure you will too.

Salmon was well cooked - however it was swimming in the spicy bourbon sauce that was a little overpowering and took away from the other flavors. The calamari, however was very well done and came with a marinara dipping sauce that stole the show. After tasting the marinara sauce with the calamari I decided I will definitely have to come back and try some of the pasta; the marinara sauce was phenomenal. Will be swinging back by on either Thursday or Friday when I get back into town

The cheese curds arrived hot, fresh, and perfectly tasting... absolutely delicious! The old fashions and Bloody Marys were also made to perfection. The bread basket was a nice touch, although as a typical Wisconsin supper club fan, I was surprised the relish tray came at an extra charge instead of being included. The dining experience itself was unique and welcoming. The servers greeted us at the bar and escorted us to our table once it was prepared and the salads were already set out for us. The smoked salmon appetizer was a bit disappointing, as it was essentially a piece of smoked salmon served over lettuce with capers and crackers. My steak had quite a bit of gristle, although the flavor itself was very good. The standout dish of the night was definitely the pork ribs....you can absolutely tell why they are known for them because they were delicious! Overall, I would recommend checking this place out for the atmosphere, drinks, service, and their famous ribs.

I tried the spaghetti & meatballs Monday special and the flavor was so good... thankfully we had garlic knots too.... To dip in the sauce.

Everyone was happy and worried about how this experience would ruin us for other the other restaurants in the area. We showed up at 5:30p on a Saturday night and they were kind enough to squeeze us into their packed restaurant. We lingered over 4 courses where everything was fabulous. Our server was so exuberant about the food which was infectious. We started with the Shrimp Corn Salsa and Brussel Sprouts. Salad was Beet ricotta and greens. Everyone loved them. For entrees I tried the pasta special which was a smoked chicken and veg pasta and man the smoke was intense but delicious. Others had the Chicken Parm and the Sea Scallops. Dessert was tiramisu and the special peach cheese mascarpone cake.
