| - Atmosphere: I LOVE the theme of this place. Cozy Northwoods lodge. Lots of pine, huge fireplaces, camo t-shirts for the wait staff. Feels cozy and comforting.
Drinks: Pretty good specials any day of the week. Wednesday is $4 Moscow Mules. Beer specials every day. What sounds like a good happy hour price.'
Food: Not terrible. Pricing is pretty okay for what you get. I'm a fan of the cheese fritters, the grilled cheese fondue and the fish sandwich. All of those dishes are $9 or less and it's good portions for that price. However. You are a Wisconsin restaurant. I shouldn't have to ask for tartar with my fish and I really don't think that should be an up-charge. But the fish was really tasty with the red pepper aioli and tartar together. Not a fan of the potato salad. It was a literal formed scoop of it on my plate. Didn't look appetizing, didn't taste appetizing. Fries are good, but I'm not happy that they are a $2 up-charge to get with a sandwich or burger. Should just come with. They aren't $2 extra good. The donuts are good, but didn't seem to be quite cooked all the way through. Cheese fritters are huge and always worth it.
Service: I've only ever gone during trivia nights, so I don't know if that has something to do with it, but I think I've only been there once where the service has been good. Most of the time, we're waiting for long periods for either our drinks, our bill, or for the waitress to check on us.
Overall, I want to like this place. Northwoods lodge, twist on comfort food. But I think you're trying to be just a little too classy for what you are. Something just feels off and if it wasn't for trivia nights, I probably would have never eaten here.
