It's such a laid back vibe, it's unfortunate it's almost invisible unless you are seeking it out because it's a fun little specialty lounge. Staff is friendly and they offer fun little activities you wouldn't expect to find at a bar/cocktail lounge. We've done pumpkin carving and now my wifes even decorated a Christmas ornament there. There's a calendar listing many fun & unexpected events. The Orenda is small and if you don't seek out the little open sign along Main Street you might miss the place. Definitely not a wild party bar, but a great quiet spot for a date night drink.

It's always such a great experience from the food To the atmosphere and all of the friendly and amazing people that make it happen. I wanna say a special, thank you to Tony the owner and the two waitresses Michelle and Lisa. My husband passed away around 4 years ago And I decided to keep celebrating our wedding anniversary. And the Norbert did nothing but make it so special for me! My family and I come here all the time to celebrate special occasions, and it will continue on! It is my favorite place! Thank you again, Tony, for doing everything that you do! And hats off to your wonderful staff!!! By the way, I even stopped in there.Sometimes just for dessert and a drink....... with love to you, and everyone, Laurie McCardle

Everything felt familiar yet refined, with such a beautiful balance of richness, acidity, and texture. And the Manhattan was the perfect complement--beautifully crafted and smooth without overpowering the meal. The steak tartare was a standout as well: rich, savory, and incredibly well balanced. A little hidden gem that manages to feel both rustic and elevated. Definitely a place I'd happily return to. Also, an honorable mention to our server. We really appreciated that our server was not overbearing with information, table touches or upselling, while still offering great service.

We were seated right away on the second floor at a regular table. There are also some high-tops that were being used for parties of two. Our waitress did a great job getting us waters, menus, and our first drink order. She also let us know what the weekend specials were. We started with the Spinach Artichoke Dip, which was very good. It came with a bunch of pieces of grilled sourdough bread, which complemented the dip nicely. Our drinks were good, though I felt the Golden Hour Paloma was a little underwhelming. For entrées, we ordered the Grilled Salmon, the Orville Salad (with shrimp), the Filet Mignon, and I had the special, "Inferno" -- a grilled tenderloin filet on top of a deep-fried portabella mushroom, served on spinach with a touch of sriracha. While waiting, the server came over to update and apologize for the delay. I only mention this because I really didn't think the wait was unusually long (but I appreciated their attentiveness). After a few more minutes, our food arrived, and it was excellent -- served at good temperatures, with terrific flavors and generous portions. The special (filet on mushroom and spinach) was excellent. The filet was ordered medium rare but came out closer to medium; still, it was very good. The fried mushroom was crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The sauces were an excellent complement and tied everything together. I would definitely order that again. The noise level was good overall, though there were moments -- when seating new tables or during the ordering process -- when it got VERY loud. I wouldn't have wanted that to last the whole time. Throughout the evening, we were well attended to. Friendly, efficient service with great follow-through (thanks, Rachel). The Orville goes on the "Must Come Back To" list. :)

We sat at the bar, and the bartender was super friendly. The space has a cozy feel, and they also have a little patio in the back if you want to sit outside when the weather is nice. Their specials were great too, and I loved that you can buy a bottle of wine to go. Even better, they keep the white wines cold, which is such a thoughtful touch. We both tried the salad special. I added chicken to mine, and my friend added salmon. I probably should have gone with the salmon because hers was cooked really nicely, while my chicken was a little on the dry side. That said, the salad itself was fresh, and the fruit on it tasted really good. They also had a nice beer selection with solid options on tap, so it seems like a good place whether you're stopping in for lunch, a drink, or something casual after work. Overall, friendly service, quick food, and a cute little spot I'd come back to.

We ended up staying for hours because the vibe was that good. The owner and staff were an absolute joy: warm, attentive, and genuinely fun to be around. Bonus points for the 2-for-1 drink specials because yes, we absolutely got lit here. As a vegetarian, I felt fully seen because they went out their way to make me veggie tacos that were so good I'm still thinking about them. Drooling. They also offer pizzas and other food options, so everyone wins. Amazing food, great drinks, welcoming energy, and a space you actually want to linger in. This spot is a must and we will 100% be back. Definitely a must try when you are in Mazalan!!!

It seems like they will for at least the time being try to wear both hats. They have a nice selection of coffees to choose from. They also have a nice selection of specialty alcohol drinks. The staff was quite proud of using a computerized pour system to mix every drink the same way each and every time. My votes still out on the computer made drink. We all have our favorite bartender for mixing a drink a certain way, not sure how I feel about developing loyalty to a machine. The owners did an incredible amount of remodeling to make the Garden Lounge what it is including a poured concrete bar top. A really nice upscale atmosphere for downtown West Bend. A definite worthwhile date night or after dinner destination. There are no windows to the outside, making it the perfect spot to transition from morning coffee into day drinking and being blissfully unaware it's the middle of the day They offer homemade frozen pizzas and a handful of appetizers to boot. We tried the wonton wrapped cheese sticks and rangoons. Both went quite nicely with a few cocktails. Welcome to West Bend Garden Lounge & good luck with your future.

I saw Brazen Head Pub post on social media that for four days only they were serving a special…read moreburger called The Garfield, which was a piece of deep fried lasagna on a burger with mozzarella, marinara, and buns toasted like garlic bread. Both my older son and I thought this sounded amazing so we stopped in on a Friday night to try it. We both got fries for our side. The burger was great as expected. Breading and deep frying the lasagna helped prevent it from being a mess and they added enough marinara to give it flavor without overpowering anything. The fries were lightly salted, but were otherwise just boring, plain potato. Apparently 6pm on a Friday is a horrible time to visit Brazen Head Pub if you want to be seated in a reasonable timeframe. My son and I stood there for at least 20 minutes watching a table that was done eating and the gentleman and his credit card in hand, ready to pay if someone would ever stop and give him his bill. While this was going on, another couple at the bar finished their food and sat there for at least 10 minutes waiting for their check. It's almost as if the employees had no desire to turnover tables even with a line at the door including and behind us. There were three people bartending/waiting tables so they had plenty of coverage given the smaller size of the place. At one point, closer to the end of our meal, one of the bartenders looked at my son and I and asked "are you guys good?" as he was literally walking away from us and I was holding up an empty soda glass to show him I'd like a refill. Oddly, he gave me a thumbs up and kept going. I don't even know what to make of that other than poor service. The music that was playing was excessively loud. If it was a live band, I'd get it, that's part of the show and I wouldn't complain. For random music on speakers to drown out all conversations unless you're yelling, that's dumb.

Why? - Wisconsin after all, and not even one of the bigger Wisconsin cities (gb/milwaukee) - Sitting down, nary a foreign staff member much less an Asian person dining. Wowwwweeeee This ain't bastardized or imitation Asian cuisine. This is inspired Japanese ramen. Both the pork bun and beef bun taste profile were definitely Asian profile with a white friendly twist. That meat was so delicate and flavorful (fatty). Tonkotsu: Upon the first taste, the depth of the broth was unmistakably quality tonkotsu. However, at the same time, it was unrecognizable to me in a sense that I couldn't recall having something like this from all across Japan to Cali to Houston to Chicago. Unique in the best of ways from the toppings (that crunch) to the broth. Harmony and balance, Asian fusion, Japanese Cowboy was achieved. This will be one of 3 ramen experience I have had that will stick with me and not blur out with other sittings. The hot sauce...as warned...was actually very spicy. Tasted like an enhanced sriracha with spicier/sharper notes. The maizen was solid too, but not my cup of tea (sweeter). My kids love love Love it. - oh seating was not kids friendly
