We are SO incredibly sad to hear this fine establishment will be closing its doors this coming…read moreMarch. While not always on the menu, ask for a raspberry lemon drop and you won't regret it. The BEST one I've ever had. I will be begging the bartenders to teach me their ways before they close their doors. This is our top choice in town to celebrate accomplishments and achievements. The tavern and patio offer a more casual ambiance, while the restaurant itself is chic and has an element of more formality. The staff is always ALWAYS incredible and thoughtful. The food is always on point, interesting, and flavorful. This place will be well-missed come March, but I know I will be back here plenty in the mean time to get my fill and and support this staff before then.

The Waterfront is truly a very special restaurant. We were in the area and were so in love with how…read morebeautiful it was along the Mississippi River walking path that we dropped by here for an early dinner. We were so fortunate that they were able to seat us on the outdoor patio facing the water. This restaurant isn't just great for the views--the food and drinks here were phenomenal as well. Our appetizers of beer-battered cheese curds and mussels were so flavorful and hit the spot. We also loved our fish tacos and linguini with scallops (I absolutely loved the crushed red pepper that came with it too!). Our food all paired nicely with their extensive cocktail/drinks menu, which included many different breweries and distilleries. This is one of those restaurants you'll remember visiting forever--definitely come visit if you can!

We are traveling through La Crosse and passed by this little gem of a place! We passed it and back…read moretracked to get to it and absolutely glad we did. Service was prompt, but by the time we were done and leaving, the place was full and hungry customers waiting to get in! Our server was AWESOME! Friendly and attentive but not hovering. Brandy Old Fashion was heavenly and much needed. The French Onion soup was rich and delicious. My ribeye steak was cooked perfect, tender and delicious. The baked potato was perfect. My husband ordered the smaller portion of Lasagna and it was tasty! The place has tons of character! We are so glad we back tracked to this amazing gem!!

Quaint and delicious while also being very decently priced! $7 alcoholic drinks is always a win for…read moreme. The bartender was super nice and had great suggestions. I ordered the ribeye since it came with a soup or salad ANNNNDDD potatoes or veggies. I opted for the French onion soup and some veggies. Holy moly, the cheese on that soup is no joke! It was a delicious soup but it did lack in onions (maybe because it was a small bowl that none got scooped up into it?). I ordered my ribeye medium rare and it came a perfect medium rare. The ribeye itself was of the thinner variety so don't expect a thick steakhouse ribeye. It was still really good though especially because it was so much food for under $30! The turtle cheesecake was TO DIE FOR! Ughhhh I'm a sucker for some caramel and chocolate in a cheesecake. I wish I lived here because I would be a regular for sure.

This place is amazing. I had my eye on eating here since I started planning this trip…read more We started our meal with Roumel's Meat Sticks, which are Filipino pork BBQ. These were pork and delivered by Roumel himself. Turns out he is from Chicagoland as well. Moved here and started this Supper Club. It was really nice to talk with someone who was from our local area. The pork was delicious. Next, my husband had a salad and I opted for the French Onion Soup. There is a lot flavor packed into that cup. I chose for my main a special ribeye smothered in mushrooms with a Bordelaise sauce and a side of fresh vegetables. Then for dessert, I choose a crème brûlée. That dessert exceeded my expectations. Our server was delightful and found out we were from the Chicago area she let Roumel know. He visited us several times during the service. Overall, I can't say enough good about Twin Springs. You really need to go there when you're next in Decorah.

I usually do not write reviews and really ... I usually don't but oh my gosh!…read more My husband and I were on a motorcycle trip and we are suckers for Supper Clubs. When we found this place, we decided to try it out. We didn't know that there was a bit of a gravel path to reach the restaurant but I promise ... it's worth it. We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by the bartender (I'm sorry but I stupidly forgot her name!) and she was so funny and we bonded immediately being both boy moms. She was beyond knowledgeable of the food and drink menu which is always a huge plus! When we got our food, it was PERFECT. My husband and I are both foodies and I have had countless steaks in my life, but this hands down was THE BEST filet I have ever had. The owner Roumel, who is also the head chef, table touched which is unheard of now a days and we started talking about me being from Cleveland and him being from Chicago and next thing I know we're comparing our 2016 World Series notes. His were obviously better, but it was such a wholesome conversation! His wife Jilaine told us all about the story behind the restaurant and what encouraged them to buy it and the passion behind both of their words were so genuine that you could tell they took pride in their staff, restaurant and food. As a Cleveland baseball fan who got their heart broke by the Cubs, this meal helped a bit to forgive ... maybe not forget but definitely in the right step to forgive!
