    Fantastic ambience and really great food. We tried the Ratatouille Risotto, the Chicken Piccata and the Angus Fillet (in two different visits), they are all amazing. Drinks are made with their own products and are exquisite. Strongly recommend trying the Wisconsin Old Fashioned and The Midwest Margarita.

    First timers on 11/16/24. Everything about our visit was outstanding. The food (I had the Pork Chop and my wife had the Walleye) was perfect. Even the basic side salad was interesting and delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Being a distillery, the cocktails were fabulous. The room was inviting and social and still "private" enough. Will be going back. Been a long time since we've been so pleased.

    The Deviled Eggs were divine and my Standard Salad with salmon was absolutely delicious! Oh, and I LOVED my grapefruit mimosa. I will be back.

    Sat at the bar first but the female bartender barely acknowledged us and just wasnt friendly so we moved to a table where the server was very nice and friendly. Definitely recommended the pancakes. They're delicious and huge!

    We had a lovely experience! Every staff person we encountered was friendly and wonderful. We tried the charcuterie board, trout spread and the pretzel. All of them were flavorful and delicious. We loved the industrial meets local history decor with a hip vibe. The drinks were also absolutely delightful! Thanks for a wonderful night out on the town!

    The hostess set up a coloring page and crayons for my son when we got to our table which was so sweet. We ended up having to get our dinner to-go since our 3-year-old’s meltdown was taking a turn for the worse. The hostess was so cooperative and nice when we told her we needed to leave and even took my order, not waiting for a server. When we got back to our hotel the food was SO GOOD. OMG. Seriously so good. Only downside to this place is it’s SOOO LOUD. Like could barely have a conversation loud. Other than that, the food is super great and service was exceptional.

    The food was served quickly, hot and delicious. Also greatly enjoyed the Wisconsin Old Fashioned with dinner. Staff was super polite and very responsive. It is a great time for date night! Also appreciated the tasting of their Red Cabin Bourbon they offered when we sat down. It was a nice touch and tasted delicious.
