| - We have been to Gates and Brovi a few times, both during the weekday for lunch and weekend dinners with friends. It's a nice place with a very local friendly feel to it. The prices are very reasonable.
I have to say the food is not particularly special. The fried cheese curds are pretty tasty, but that's about as good as it gets. The fries are thin and not particularly tasty, they don't give you very much, even a large order. The panfried bluegill blt was alright, but really messy to eat and had too much sauce on it. The G&B similar - strangely drippy. Our dining companions seemed to like their food better, the linguine with sausage and clams and the soup of the day. When I went for lunch, the place was practically empty and it was really cold. I had brought a guest from out of town and she thought the place was charming and loved the homey Wisconsin feel, but didn't say much about the food. We ordered dessert, which turned out to be a mistake for me as it was a stale piece of blueberry pie.
Parking is super difficult. Even in the middle of the afternoon during a snowstorm. That's not really their fault, but it does make it a challenge to eat there.
Go for the relaxed atmosphere, stay for the conversation and the beer, leave before they make you order any food.
