| - Went to lunch at the Statehouse in early December. I ordered one of the only vegetarian dishes on the menu, a beet, red rice, and bean burger w/ vegan cheese and a whole-grain bun. The beets in the burger were very flavorful but no seasoning was detectable, it was very dry, and it the ingredients seemed over-combined to the point of making the burger mushy. Overall it is not an impressive veggie burger and is in desperate need of some seasoning, texture, and sauce. Graze has a much more flavorful beet burger. The cheese curds we ordered, on the other hand, were delicious and not too greasy. The Basil Gimlet cocktail is super refreshing. The furnishings in the restaurant are a little awkward for the room, but the view of the lake on a good-weather day is stunning and the open-kitchen is gorgeous. I would go back for cocktails and apps on a sunny day, though not again for lunch.
