Beautiful ambience in a country setting. Dining room looks out over the course and groups finish right outside the windows. Service was first rate, seated immediately and catered to the whole meal. Started with the cheese plate appetizer. Modest bulb of soft cheese and toasted fingerlings. Followed with a wedge salad and garden salad. My wedge was short on dressing, had to ask for more. Garden salad was spectacular pee wifey, included beets and fancy garden items. Looked very good. Wifey had salmon with crab cake and hollandaise sauce, included a side of asparagus. I had the tenderloin medium. Prepared perfectly with Demi glaze resting on a bed of mashed golden potatoes. Steak itself was modest in size and had good flavor. We completed the meal with delicate brownie topped with a bourbon liquor to share. One time event for us celebrating a special occasion. Very expensive, but good quality and very good service. Recommend without any reservations and would add bring your wallet. read more

Beautiful setting and restaurant. The potato leek soup was great. However, I ordered the PANZELLA salad. This is an Italian bread, salad with tomatoes and radishes... Had four of the smallest pieces of toasted bread in the salad only one kind of yellow tomato that was not very flavorful and the dressing was bitter.. extremely disappointing for the price & for this being a Kohler restaurant. read more

First time visiting Whistling Straits Restaurant and definitely a place I'd come back to. We came to celebrate my wife's birthday and had a great experience. The restaurant was well lit with a mix of open and booth seating, and the views of the golf course and sunset were beautiful. Service was excellent and the staff gave us great recommendations. We ordered the Brussels sprouts and crab cakes to start, followed by the lamb ragu and lobster étouffée for our mains. Everything was delicious and portions were just right. I'd definitely recommend this spot after a day of golf or for a nice date night. read more

Everything went very well. Service excellent and the food was delicious. Setting, beautiful.

We went to Whistling Straits for lunch to celebrate our anniversary. Just before we arrived a storm hit and the golf course was shut down during the storm. The restaurant was extremely busy. The staff did an amazing job. The hostess continued to let us know the status of our wait. Once we were seated we were treated like we were their only guest. I was impressed. After our meal we received a complimentary dessert with Happy Anniversary on the cake. Great job staff!! They never showed they were stressed or overwhelmed. Just kept smiling. read more

Ahh mazinnng views. Having lived in SF for 7 years we got used to the Pacific Ocean and awesome views up and down the coast and I honestly have to say this is right up there. Food was fine but what set it apart was the views from the patio and first come first serve fire pit spots. Watched sunset and didn't want to leave. read more

We had an incredible 10/10 dinner and experience at Whistling Straits Restaurant on their last night of service before closing for the season. For starters, the remote location makes it feel so exclusive, the building is a gorgeous stone and brimming with elegance (like everything associated with the American Club!) We were seated for our reservation right away and offered drinks and ordered appetizers. We started with a scallop dish and salad, followed by a braised duck dish and truffle goat pasta dish. We let the chef decide on choosing/serving our pasta dish and it was AMAZING - the pasta was made in house and honestly it was one of the yummiest dishes I've ever tried! Closed the dinner out with hot toddies which was a great way to kick off the holiday season. We will definitely be going back again! read more

The fish and chips were not what it was in past. Fish was overcooked no malt flavor as advertised and had in past. Rye bread was not received until we asked midway thru meal And requesting it.The atmosphere is great and service was good. Will not go back and in past always took out of town guests there But food was a great disappointment read more

We had lunch here last weekend and, despite some rainy weather, enjoyed a beautiful view, cozy fireside dining, and a great gluten-free sandwich. Having just been in Ireland, we immediately appreciated the Irish countryside castle-like design with beautiful stonework at the entrance. The view of the lake combined with the warm fireplace made the restaurant perfectly cozy and inviting. Our server was nice but not well versed on the menu for people with allergies. It would be nice if the menu was labeled, but as it was, she had to ferry back and forth from the kitchen to check on things for me. It ended up that I couldn't have any of the soups or appetizers, but at least they had gf bread. My club sandwich with veggies and hummus as a side turned out delicious with fresh local bacon and a fabulous aioli. The husband had the soup of the day, a potato leek, and a very crispy fish and chips. He said both were very good. Overall, as long as you're flexible, the place can definitely accommodate a gluten allergy, and the ambiance is picturesque. read more

Great food but very bad service! We went to the Whistling Straits Golf Course for our anniversary and then got dinner after at the restaurant. We got seated right away, and the ambiance is very historic and exquisite. The hostess was very kind and filled our glasses of water. When the server came around, she asked for our drinks order, and to save time, we added our appetizers' order, too. The drinks were 20 minutes late, and there was no explanation as to why it took so long. The appetizers came after that, and the server never asked who the food and drinks were. As the appetizers were dropped off, the server asked for our entrée order and immediately put that in. While we waited for the entrées, the server had no touch points at the table, so we didn't ask if we wanted more drinks or anything else. After 30 minutes of waiting for the entrée where we thought the server abandoned us, we almost left when the hostess came by our table to help us get more water and apologize for the wait. Finally, after a very long wait, the food came out, and the same as the drinks, there was nobody asking if the food was good or why there was a delay. What started as a great round of golf ended as an abysmal dinner that left a bad taste in our mouth. It's really sad that this expensive place had poor service with no apologies. read more

Outstanding choice! Server Ellie was fantastic--her happy smile added to the beautiful scenery & the well-prepared food to make our meal quite memorable. The interior is elegant yet rustic, with a crackling fireplace and crystal stemware; lots to look at & admire. We could see the golf course and Lake Michigan from our table--spectacular!! We will be back!! read more

Had lunch here today. Quite disappointing in both quality of food and the service. Ordered a Cobb Salad and it was chock full of bones in the chicken that tasted so weird it was left on the plate. The hard boiled egg was actually a deviled egg and the yolks were so salty it was left on the plate too. They didn't screw up the avocado or cheese but it is difficult to mess that up. The rest of the salad was ho-hum with a huge mound of over-dressed greens. I was eating with three buddies and no one was impressed with their meals. When the waitress cleared the table she noticed most of my meal remained and asked if I wanted a to-go box. I said no and explained why it was not eaten. No further comment from the staff. She just brought the bill. Will not be returning. read more

We were passing through town and had to wait a bit before the next place to stay was opened. Our party of four was warmly welcomed. We had a great seat by the window overlooking the spectacular course. I ordered their BLT and my hubby ordered an open-faced tuna melt that came with a side of arugula salad. We loved them both. Would definitely come back. It was chilly in their though, so maybe bring a sweater or buy one in the pro shop. Just sayin...... read more

Great outdoor terrace dining. The food was spectacular. We shared a charcuterie, wedge salad and filet. That evening there were several large parties so it was a bit loud with cigar smoke. But all in all a wonderful experience. read more

We went here for both lunch (before golf) and dinner (after golf). At dinner, my friends steak (which was $70) was not good at all. So tough he could not cut it. He asked for a better knife and the server said they were In the process of getting better knives. For a premium place where the golf is over $500, this should never be the answer. Then she never brought over a Good knife and the managers reply when we got her over was less than apologetic. They took the steak off the bill, and the rest of the food was good. Hoping not a recurring issue. read more

Um...did you know you can dine upstairs and you don't need a reservation? The menu is simple but the atmosphere is something else. It's like Chili's Restaurant prices with golf resort ambiance. Had their Old Fashioned drink. Spot on! Also had turkey BLT. Good portions. Mrs. had their fish and chips and was happy. After we ate we walked outside and watched golfers finish the course at the 18th hole. Could have also just watched from our table but being outside was nice. Got to hear the chatter of the golfing groups having fun. Could've also ate outside off the menu pictured but didn't realize that until afterwards. What a great experience. Definitely recommend trying it! read more

My co-workers and I were treated to lunch here for having a clean audit, and let me tell you-- not one of our party of 6 left disappointed or still hungry! Service was phenomenal and our waitress did a great job making suggestions. Our table shared the artichoke dip (so much flavor) and we pretty much licked our plates clean. The soup de jour was a split pea with ham and bacon on top; absolutely delicious! For my main course I tried the Irish burger with homemade chips, while my coworkers had fish options. Everyone was extremely happy with their lunches. The ambiance is relaxing and the views of the golf course are breath-taking. I'll be back! read more

The location is great on the golf coarse and the room is beautiful with its big wood beams and high ceilings. The light colored wood made it feel more contemporary. The food is equally good and a nice choice of food on the menu. The soup of the day was corn beef and cabbage. It had great flavor and lots of meat and vegetables. An appetizer was lobster cakes, beignets with lobster inside. Very good. 2 of us had the wedge salad which could have had more blue cheese. Our entrees were the park chops, salmon, and stuffed trout. I think the top pick was the pork chop. Big and juicy with an apple cider flavor. Wow! We finished with their sugar free blueberry pie, which was good but more of a tart than a pie. Our server was Kimberly and did a great job of making suggestions! read more

Was a bit chilly near window, but very friendly service from hostess as well as from waitress. Menu was ample and i left full! Got the cheesy cauliflower, filet, salmon and pheasant at our table. We also got the kohler chocolate torte, coffee, foie gras and welsh rarebit for appetizers. Everything was very very delicious. The resort shuttle came very fast and dropped us back off at hotel! read more

Spending the weekend at the American Club. Four of us for dinner on a Saturday evening. An excellent restaurant experience. The dining room is elegant country, warm and cozy. Our server was outstanding: professional, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. And all the food was very good. We had Wisconsin draft beers for our cocktails. We started with their award winning escargot with mushrooms and shrimp cocktail appetizers. We then each had either the potato leek soup or the bibb lettuce wedge salad. The potato leek soup was among the best soups I have ever had. Our entrees included the filet with horseradish mashed potatoes, salmon with rice, shrimp with pasta and scallops with risotto. The chocolate brownies was our choice for dessert. If I ever go back to the American Club I will go again or if I know of anyone going I will definitely recommend this fine restaurant. read more

What a cozy dining room, so evocative of an English lord's country lodge. The booths are quite comfy and fitted with a small bolster if you need a bit of extra back support. I happened to have lunch there today. The menu is nicely thought out, featuring several quasi-Scottish club regulars like fish & chips, potato-leek soup, smoked salmon salad -- you get the idea. The bread basket featured 2 house made choices: salty-herby crackers and soda bread baked like a tea bread. Would've provided another star if not for the following: salt crust on the slightly off-tasting salmon (way too much salt), the signature soup arrived tepid and service was a bit off. Ok, it's Monday, the chef is probably off and the kitchen likely got slammed all weekend. They're short a few people, they're tired and they just need a break. I'll probably be back because I'm an optimist when it comes to a mostly from-scratch kitchen like this one. But, cheesh, somebody hide the salt! read more

I recommend the potato and leek soup and the wedge salad. Both were delicious and extremely filling.

Just had a superb dinner at The Whistling Straits Restaurant this evening and have to say it is the best! The trout special tonight was amazing, the shrimp was great and the scallops were the best ever! All served With style. Beautiful old world charm in the downstairs inside restaurant with cozy seating, a burning fireplace to take out the chill of a cool early summer evening. It is Wisconsin after all. Upstairs The bar room is another very cozy area with comfy sofa and seating around another burning fireplace and more private seating areas. We chose to eat outdoors tonight as it was a beautiful evening. The outdoor eating area is under a long pergola with vines entwined around giving it a feeling of being in a garden. The setting is off the 18th hole of the golf course along Lake Michigan which provides an awesome view of the lake and rolling hills of the golf course while dining. In the distance an eagle was sitting in a tree. There is a children's menu and gluten friendly menu...only need to ask. Also is wheelchair accessible. All in all a wonderful evening! So happy we tried it for the first time....we will be back. read more

First time here at the Straits Service was outstanding and food quality was very good However I had a $44 ribeye that did not meet expectations as far as quantity and quality In addition the mashed potatoes were at best room temp There weren't many people dining here which probably explains the value of the menu Golf course exceeded expectations but not the pricey restaurant read more

If you have any appreciation for golf, you need to visit this place just to see the course. We didn't get to play it, but I'm not good enough for,something this challenging. We decided to have a quick lunch in the upstairs pub area. Ate at the bar. Enjoyed good selection of draft beers. I he'd the sliders, and homemade potato chips. My wife had the spicy wings, and homemade chips also. Food was unremarkable. The sliders were good. Our chips,were more on the burnt side. We questioned the server about them, and she told us that's the way they serve them. I didn't argue, but the reason we ordered them is because we some them at another table, and they looked great. (Not burnt like ours.) My wife wasn't impressed with the wings, and didn't finish them. The atmosphere of the place is great. Scenery is beautiful. It was worth the stop, but is suggest trying the restaurant instead. read more

I visited for the first time a few days ago and while food was excellent, the establishment itself was a little outdated. The employee uniforms are very questionable; I'm not sure who made that decision. They're a little off-putting, as in frumpy and makes me feel as though I'm in the 1800s. read more

My son and new daughter-in-law were recently married on the Championship Outdoor Terrace adjoining the Irish Barn, where the reception was held, and overlooking the Whistling Straits Golf Course. They also reserved the adjoining Championship Locker Room for the afternoon and evening. The dance band, buffet, and hosted bar were in the Irish Barn, along with plenty of dinner seating. A tent with a hard floor and its own bar was also available. It was a five star event from A to Z and I would recommend it highly. It was perfect. The wedding consultant conducted a seamless event; whatever problems may have arisen during the event were invisible to all present, including the bride and groom. The food in particular was incredible. The B/G chose to forego the cake and instead offered an incredible dessert buffet, which many guests complimented. The brides mother had intended to pack the decor after the ceremony, but a word with the crew and a chunk of cash, and I had that problem solved, for which we were grateful. The intimate rehearsal dinner at the Whistling Straits Clubhouse was equally wonderful. Five stars all around. read more
