Truly a classic - when you go in to this place you feel like you are stepping back into the 40's or 50's (especially when the weather is warm and you come in through the very dark bar area with the tiny curved booths and dozen bar stools).
We always make a point to dine here when attending a Badger football game and ALWAYS are sure to make a reservation well in advance. I have probably eaten there 5 or 6 times and always enjoy the ambiance, service and food.
This is first and formost a steak place although there's usually one in the group that always gets the walleye (easily enough for two people). Your steak will come on a sizzling hot plate with a nice crispy onion ring on top along with your choice of potatoes and soup or salad. They've got a nice french onion soup but you really should have the classic wedge salad that comes with both french and blue cheese dressing. Be careful because the meal also comes with a huge bread basket with about 5 diffferent types of bread and rolls - I especially like the foot long sesame bread sticks. Also, right after you sit down someone will place a tall water glass on the table with a couple of carrot sticks, celery, pickle and olives.
They've got a decent wine list, but are also adept at all the classic cocktails like old fashions (a Wisconsin tradition).
Definitely one of the better steak houses in the area.
