    We took a boat ride on Castle Rock Lake we ended up at Shipwreck Bay for lunch. We found a great outside seats for the 4 of us. We had a great waitress who brought the best Margarita ( per my friend) And the best Old Fashioneds per there sign. All the food was amazing, Shrimp tacos were full of shrimp. The cowboy burger was amazing and the hot beef was hugh. Will definitely go back again.

    Really cute spot and good service, but that's where it ends. Tables and menus were dirty (a piece of lettuce fell out of mine and greasy prints all over) and the food wasn't good. Our pork tacos arrived cold. Margaritas tasted like they came pre-mixed.

    Enjoyed the Taco El Pastore. Hubby had Hamburger with barbecue sauce fries and I had fries very good. However: As good as the Bloody Mary was, waitress should ask what size! $10.50 is alot for the large. I was not given a choice. Just alot for Sr budget. Beer Chaser is a must in WI, shouldn't need to ask. AND. big olives are outstanding but the Olive with the "red pepper" looked linda kinky, but whatever, was filled with seeds and hotter than hot!! Glad I know my Peppers could have been a horrific shock if eaten. We will be back as we do like the choices. ONE MORE NOTE: Please make sure the Foid is HOT not lukewarm.....sitting to long OR put under heat lamps. Thank You

You do get to try up to five tastings of your choice, which was nice since you can double up on a tasting if you really enjoy the taste. Our guide was funny and did a great job providing the information. As far as the cocktails go, I did get a tasty mojito! The cool thing is if you arrive earlier to your tasting, you can bring the drink with during the tour. I love the atmosphere and really enjoyed the tour guide!

I'm not sure when this place was built, but everything felt clean & new and the seating was very comfortable. The menu had a nice variety of entrees, but we were definitely disappointed that they don't offer an appetizer selection for lunch. My husband ordered the jalapeño chicken flatbread and I went with the roasted vegetable risotto with grilled chicken. We both really enjoyed our dishes and did share so we didn't have food envy. It was really kind of them to offer us a complimentary dessert when they found out today was our 25th wedding anniversary; we selected the bread pudding and it was delicious!! Other than not having apps available on the lunch menu, our only other gripe was that it took forever to get our bill and pay.

This last visit? Not so much. Our server vanished almost immediately (except for one heroic soda refill). Meals were dropped by a runner and we were never checked on again -- despite the restaurant being nearly empty on a frigid Friday with more staff than customers, we still couldn't seem to get helped. I eventually had to go find the manager. In a place this slow, he could have easily gone table to table. He did not. My friend's chicken sandwich was inedible: gnarly, tendon-heavy, and made incorrectly after requesting almost everything removed (none of it was removed). My institutional burger and fries were a snore. They offered to remake my friend's meal to go. Out came... just a burger. No fries. No sides. Just vibes. Finding the manager on the way out and bringing up our issues: multiple disappearances, an attempted discount after she'd already paid cash, and finally a handful of dollar bills shoved into her hand with "I took care of it." He never really asked to resolve my complaints but at least I had something to eat. Final thoughts: * Food: increasingly mediocre * Service: vanished * Management: improvisational * Fries: missing in action The only reason we kept coming back was good servers. This time we had neither. We won't be returning.

I went with just my two children (5 and 9). We had to wait in line to check in, but then we were seated right away. I noticed larger parties had to wait a little bit, but not long. When you check in with the hostess, they explain how everything works and what's included in your price. Then you can order additional drinks with the hostess. You pay right at the hostess stand before being seated which was kind of cool, so you don't have to worry about it later. You also have the option to tip before or after. Once you sit you are brought any included drinks (white milk, apple juice, orange juice, coffee), purchased drinks (chocolate milk, lattes, etc), and donuts. The donuts were fantastic. I asked for a decaf latte but they didn't have decaf. The latte was still good. They then bring out small plates of ham, sausage, eggs, biscuits with gravy, and pancakes. All of it was delicious. Your wait staff checks in with you consistently and asks if you want any refills on food. It's all you can eat! Of course on your way out you have to check out the fun gift shop!

    BUYER BEWARE: GIFT SHOP WARNING Be extremely cautious making…read moreany purchases in the gift shop you're forced to weave through when entering and exiting. We bought our daughter a NeeDoh squishy, and before we even left the parking lot to head back to Chicago, it was already broken. The original cashier was wonderfully sweet and swapped it out without hesitation. Unfortunately, the replacement broke within seconds of normal use in the car. ​When I went back in for a refund, the cashier understood, but the manager on duty took over and refused to process it. She flat-out refused to give her name (so I'll call her "Karen"), accused my daughter of breaking them by "squeezing too roughly," and claimed they've sold thousands with zero returns. I pointed out that most tourists buy items and immediately drive home, which explains why people don't return. ​She remained firm, rude, and refused the $8.99 refund. My daughter owns plenty of squishies that last for months--a good manager would recognize a defective batch instead of blaming a child. Unless $9 is coming directly out of her paycheck, there's no excuse for that attitude. ​RESTAURANT REVIEW As for the food: expect a fairly long line depending on the season and time of day, but once seated, the service is good and the all-you-can-eat food is solid. Just note that kids' pricing is no longer "pay your age"--it's now tiered pricing by age (I've attached a receipt photo for reference). ​VERDICT: The restaurant itself is definitely worth a stop to eat, but completely skip the gift shop trap. If an item is defective, management won't care and will blame you for it.

For my main, I opted for the shrimp scampi with homemade pasta! I loved the homemade pasta! However, I felt the sauce was very light. I wish I could've ordered this pasta dish with the san marzano sauce. I think that would've made the flavor pop more for me. And for desserts, they were also incredible. Tiramisu, cannoli and the lemon sorbet! Highly recommend the lemon sorbet, was such a strong lemon flavor. Overall, definitely recommend in the Madison area, one of my favs so far!

I didn't like sauce on the pizza and the cheese & crust were only okay. I'd come back again.
