   Our server Christine was on point. Orange roughy and shrimp fettuccine were very good. But we had three orders of prime rib at the table, two of which were over cooked. Christine said , so sorry I’ll go back to kitchen and rectify. She comes back with the same dishes and says my manager says they are just fine and sets the plates down! My husband gave her an earful, and she apologizes and says her manager won’t budge! It was my fathers88th birthday, so we didn’t want to cause a scene and upset him, but we will NEVER be back! No check adjustments either. Appalling! They used to have the most wonderful prime rib. Those days are over.

   The food was alright. Ambiance was wonderful, but neither made it worth returning. Service was lackluster & disappointing. Hostess told me there was a 15-20 minute wait even though I had a reservation. Waitress made us feel rushed once we sat down & we had to ask for water several times before it arrived. Definitely not the Corner House of old.

   For what they charge, the food should have been much better. For starters, their CO2 was out for their sodas…on Valentine’s weekend! The stuffed mushrooms had good flavor, however, you only get four small ones for $20! The French onion soup had a mealy texture from puréed onions, not very palatable. The prime rib, which they are famous for, was tender but not very flavorful. However the brandy old fashioned was delicious and the lobster tail was cooked well.

   Fantastic restaurant! I have been here in the past and it has never disappointed. The service is grade A, the meal is prepared to order. A very friendly and accommodating restaurant.

   {I'm 80 yo and live in Brookfield,WI and was surprised to see the Corner House appear on Open Table and that it had relocated to the lakeshore. I grew up in Racine and had so many memorable meals at the CH over the years since the 60's. I decided to make the drive to reexperience the extraordinary prime rib of my memories. Sadly 'twas not to be. The restaurant is really quite beautiful. If only someone could sit down with the owner and the chef.

   Corner House once a staple in local fine dining, has become a disappointment! The food is mediocre, often cold, and efforts to fix the cold food does not resolve the issue. For the price of the food, it should be exceptional. My friends and family will not return.

   Had the Prime Rib and Lobster. The Prime Rib was excellent. The lobster tail left a lot to be desired. It was not cooked very well and it was mushy creating a very unappealing texture. The service was so, so, with a server change after we were seated, and having to remind server of items that were ordered prior to the server change.
