Craftsman has amazing northwoods ambience and is conveniently located in downtown Eagle River, but…read morethe diverse menu of upscale tavern fare, high food quality and great service would garner high praise in any setting. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and accommodate both small and large groups. The well equipped bar also has some innovative cocktails (served with a signature steal spike) and large selection of beers. Our kids love it too because they have a great game area. I like their signature old fashion and Margherita, and I especially like their mint smash burger (no mint in it!) and various tacos, and they also serve a great fish fry. Make sure to grab a complimentary chocolate mint served as you exit the spotless bathrooms.

But we are out…read more A few weeks back we entered a bit before 7pm The look on the greeters face was like "oh not more people" .. but there were only 3 active tables with one other finished. Turned out sour lady was also the server. Very unwelcoming The food was so bad I sent it back. The "smothered" pulled pork (the menu's description) had a squirt of sauce and was not hot - not warm even. As my husband was eating I just cancelled. The robotic manager said he wouldn't charge me !! ... seriously I didn't even bite into the sandwich. I joked he could reuse the bun. He offered a dessert. I'm not going to eat a dessert for dinner. I declined. Such a beautiful remodel of an old bar. A shame the food and service just don't hold up.

Managing a waitlist for tables is not rocket science. We ate at the bar instead. And beware, if you order a pizza other than what their standard menu offerings are, suddenly you are paying for each individual ingredient. For example, we ordered a meats pizza and added three toppings. Instead of paying ~$20 plus what the additional 3 toppings cost we ended up paying $50 plus for a 15" pizza because each ingredient was itemized separately. Ridiculous! It's enough to make us not want to go back, regardless of how good the pizza was.

Decided to branch out from the usual Fish Fry spot to check out White Tail's since getting a new…read morechef. We went for a decently early dinner and were able to make reservations as well which made it very convenient. We were seated promptly and our waitress was very kind. I also appreciate a place that knows how to make a good old fashioned and has a nice salad bar! That's the true north woods experience. White Tail remains absolutely beautiful and charming as it always has, this building is historic and there's truly nothing like the ambiance in there especially with the live piano. The Ahi Tuna small plate was delicious. I wouldn't consider it a "small plate" it was huge. There is no skimping on portions here, that's for sure. Two of us decided on the Perch Fish Fry, and the other opted for the Cod. I can speak on the Perch because that's what I had. It was seasoned perfectly, not too breaded, and it was HOT. My only minor complaint is that there were a lot of bones that I had to pick out/be careful not to eat. For my side I got the cheesy grits and I haven't stopped thinking about them since. They are by far in the top 5 most delicious things I've ever had in my entire life lol. I tried a piece of the cod, the fish is good but I'm personally not a fan of the batter breading, or the type of fries White Tail serves. Finished the night off with a Brandy Alexander but was kicking myself after I saw that the Banana Banshee is back on the menu. I came here a few years ago before the new ownership and asked for one and they didn't do that at the time, so I'll definitely be getting that the next time we come in.
