We were enjoying our drinks and the bartender came out and told us he only had 1 burger left. This was before 1 pm on a Sunday.

The owner told us 2 Milwaukee DJs were up this weekend and they ended up getting tons of business, hence, they ran out of burgers. I understand how they won best burger a few years ago. May need to also try their Friday fish fry. Check them out!

While the taste was 100% on point, half the food came out cold, I including the two $4 up-charged haystack onions. So disappointing. We asked for no pickle on one thing, no onion on another. Both came out with the ingredients we didn't want. We were charged for sauces (honey mustard and ranch) for the kids tenders when no one mentioned it being extra (shouldn't tenders COME with sauce?) NEVER asked if we wanted refills on drinks or checked on us. It was a Tuesday night and it took an hour and 5 minutes to get us our food. Yes we were a group of 9 but it was 3 kids and not that busy. Only seemed to be 2 waitstaff for the whole place. Just no attention paid to actual orders, and next to no regard for checking on guests. Again, the food was amazing, so I'm just hoping it was an off night. We'll visit again to verify.

For a variety of reasons, last night was the first time we stopped in for a burger and beer. I'm sure it won't be the last. Orders for food and drinks are placed at the bar. You can eat at the bar or one of several tables just off to the side. Food and drinks are cash only and the kitchen doesn't have the capacity to serve groups larger than six to eight. They have a small but decent selection of tap beer and of course a full bar. The burger I ordered was as good as any I've had at a local bar and grill -- thick, juicy, topped with cheese, onions, mushrooms, and a tasty (though generic) BBQ sauce. An ample amount of fries (skin on) completed the basket. They offer a number of set combinations or you can "build your own" with any of the ingredients they stock in the kitchen. I might not be a regular--I only occasionally indulge in burgers like these--but I'll come back for another, hopefully sooner than 35 years from now.

Fantastic rooftop with great views! Loved the waterfront…read moredining. Our server was nice. We ordered drinks and an app to start. The drinks were good. I got the Wisco-Rita as it had northern waters whiskey, most of their other cocktails have rail alcohol. Unfortunately the appetizer came out with our meal which we ordered our main food later. This was disappointing as we would not have ordered it. We got the spinach and artichoke dip which was not anything special, would not recommend. I got the buffalo chicken wrap for dinner and was asked grilled or crispy chicken. I ordered crispy and was misled, it was really just breaded chicken and was not crispy. The side or ranch was missing and had to flag server down to get that. Only thing special about this place is location and view.

The fries were good - crispy and exactly what you'd want alongside a burger. The real reason to come here is the atmosphere.

I'd come back for the rooftop experience more than the food itself.

My son had filet with bang bang shrimp, and my wife had duck wontons. Everything was really good. The ribs were fall off the bone tender. Service was very good.

I'm Chinese and know what good food tastes like. This hit high marks for me! The tuna salad is massive in portions and could easily feed two adults (the tuna nachos are the same portion size). Pro-tip- ask for dressing on the side so you can take leftovers home without eating soggy salads in the next day. Hubby ordered garlic chicken with rice plus crab cheese wontons. The stir fry was properly cooked in the wok and smelled and tasted incredible. And not drowned in brown sauce!! Kids meals are great too - mine loved the chicken drummies! HIGHLY recommend this restaurant if you want some great Asian food in a nice setting! The prices and portions will make you and your wallet happy!

That said... the Gaslight Tavern up here in Wisconsin is quietly dropping better food than what you'll find on Fisherman's Wharf these days. Yes, I said it. While California is busy charging $48 for a "deconstructed" fish taco with edible flowers and a side of attitude, our fine-fusion spot in the Northwoods is serving up elevated dishes that actually taste like they came from somewhere real -- and you won't need a second mortgage or a safe word to enjoy them.

We sat there for 20 minutes without anybody acknowledging we were there. Perhaps they were understaffed, but at least offer us some drinks and say hey we'll get you as soon as we can. Then I went to the bar to get some drinks i waited there 10 minutes before someone showed up. Next the bartender never acknowledged me again and proceeded to cash out some tickets. After a total of 30 minutes, we decided to just leave. Our money wasn't good enough for them and we probably won't try to visit again. Plus, they're never open anyway.
