    Lasagna special
    Aurora A.

    Definitely a supper club vibe to this place. The patio seating was very nice. I ordered the special which was lasagna. It was a nice big serving and the garlic bread was perfect. It came with a trip to the salad bar so for the price it was well worth it. It is cash only. Our server was very nice and our food arrived timely.

    This is not a dive bar or restaurant. I would classify it as a destination bar. A supper club type atmosphere. Great food and service. Come in for a surprise. I was.

    Four of us stopped by for dinner on Thursday night. Dinner was ok. Salad bar was small but tasty, my shrimp was not hand breaded, but the twice baked potato made the meal. My friend had the lasagna special and it was good, but the marinara was a tad sweet for me. Other friend had the sirloin steak and she said it was good and she loved the fries! The road in front of the place is getting redone so gravel road driving was necessary, not bad though. Staff was super friendly! We sat outside and the patio area is a place I would go back to. Cash only, but atm onsite.

    Outdoor Patio

    Wow, what an absolutely beautiful location and restaurant!!! We often hike at Indian Lake down the road and have passed by this place many times wanting to stop in to check it out. Well, today was the PERFECT day to grab a bite to eat and have a few cocktails!!! The service is wonderful as it is under new ownership. They are looking to hire more staff so it may be a tab slow but the cocktails are AMAZING so get enjoy the atmosphere on the outdoor patio - you won't regret it! Mushroom Burger was delicious. Wings were crispy. We also checked out the building next door available for party rentals and were blown away! We'll definitely be having an event here in the future.

    Food is decent, but the beer is $7 for spotted cow. Spent too much money there. Probably won't go back.

    Great fish fry with cod, walley, shrimp. The food is decent with a typical salad bar selection. Expect a long wait but with it.

    Stopped at this stylish bar/restaurant last night with three friends after attending an art opening…read moredown the street. Took a while to get seated, as the attendant seemed to be busy carrying out plates of food and making drinks at the end of the bar. After getting seated, we ordered drinks and three entrees (two specialty salads, a pasta meal, and a burger). The drinks came relatively fast, but the service on the food was incredibly slow. Well over an hour's wait. At one point I guessed, "They must be growing lettuce for the salad." Food arrived, but incorrectly prepared on one of the salads. The server offered "I specifically told them dressing on the side...I can bring it back and get it made over." We had already waited well over an hour, so we just took it as it was fearing an even longer delay. Actually, three of the meals were quite good (except for the overpriced and totally unremarkable burger), but I doubt any of us will return after the sluggish service. It was such a lengthy wait for the food and the server was so harried and overworked that ordering desserts was not offered. We had to get up and walk in search of a way to pay our bill. Good food, but that does not in itself make for a great dining experience.

    What a hidden gem! We had an event here and the room was perfect. The staff was attentive and just…read morewonderful but the food was the star--10/10!

    Our group tried The Hilltop Supper Club last night and I loved it. We sat at the bar while waiting…read morefor our table. I had a sweet brandy old-fashioned. The bartender was friendly and prompt and my drink was excellent. The hostess sat us at our table and our waitress arrived promptly to take drink and appetizer orders. I highly recommend the cheese ball. It's the size of a softball and filled with a variety of herbs. Creamy, flavorful and served with several dozen Townhouse crackers. We also had the dynamite shrimp. They have a very mild kick from the mayo sauce. I'm not a mayo fan and this did not change my mind, but those of us at the table who like mayo thought they were good. For dinner I had the perch fish fry with potatoes au gratin. My first bite of the potatoes was cheesy goodness. I really, really liked these. One of my dining companions felt like there should have been more and I would certainly have eaten more, but I thought the portion size was good. There were six perch fillets. The perch was delicious. I would have preferred a lighter batter, but I would definitely order this again. For dessert a couple of us ordered ice-cream drinks. They mudslide and the salted caramel. Both was creamy and delicious and I would highly recommend either. I would happily return to the Hilltop. Great experience.

    This was my first Wisconsin supper club experience. And I am sold! Supper clubs are awesome!…read more We came early for our reservation. So we sat at the bar and started on small fashions and some complementary cheese ball. For the meal, I had the fried walleye with a baked potato and a salad. We had fried cheese curds for an appetizer. Everything was amazing! The fish was super good with an amazing homemade tartar sauce. I had a Brandi old-fashioned just to try it, and a few of the whiskey old-fashioned lol they were great. Overall, this was an amazing experience. I would come back here every weekend if I could.

I saw ductwork in the rafters; maybe the AC was not working? We went for Mother's Day brunch. It was probably not their best culinary showing, buffets usually aren't. I was not a fan of the Cheesy Hash Brown and Egg Casserole. It was the texture, not so much the taste. The French toast was a good mixture of cinnamon and sugar, but only if you could find the pieces that weren't dried out. I liked the bacon: salty, well cooked and crunchy. The flank steak was tender and tasty. Prepared to a perfect medium and marinaded in a nice meaty broth. The chicken in the Lemon Chicken Piccata was overcooked, dry, resulting in a tough chew. I did enjoy the Mushroom Strudel. A moist dish with a tasty gravy drizzle. I would've liked to try the bread pudding with caramel sauce, but they apparently ran out. The other desserts were ok. They looked like they were hastily cut into slices and served on the thinnest of paper plates. I could tell those running the place were also a bit frustrated; they made their feelings rather vocal, easy for all seated to hear (that's like a major rule of restauranting: the issues in the back should never be exposed in the front, where the customers can hear.) All in all, not a good first impression. But, I am willing to return and have a normal sit-down meal. Then I can see how they do. I have been told that their service and food is usually pretty solid. We shall see.....

These were amazing. Also got the sesame chicken which was really good. The chicken was nice and crunchy. Also got the lamb skewer. This was okay. The flavors were all there but they need to work on this one. Has potential to be really good. Value(A) I got two appetizers and a dish for $36 including tip and tax. You can probably spend $25 and get out of there and be full. Note I had leftovers. Service (A) I want to give to them an A+ because the server was super nice and helpful. But that food came out in wrong order and lamb took a while. The food was fresh since it was hot. Note I went around 2pm on a Monday so there was only 1 other table. I could see this service taking a while when full. It's a small place and the exterior is crap. But the interior is really nice It's a good place, go off hours and you should no problems.

The feeling of numbness for some reason makes the food very appetizing. It's a big portion, where you can probably bring it home for leftovers. Skewers are also an option here as a nice aside. There is a variety of alcoholic options, including wine, liquor shots, beer, and sakes. The drinks are great with the games they have in the restaurant and the ambiance.
