| - Quivey's Grove covers a lot of of ground when it comes to dining options. There are two seperate restaurants on the property, the Stone House and the Stable Grill, as well as an outdoor tent called the Paddock where there is a Friday fish fry and at other times picnics and barbeques. I've been to Quivey's quite a few times and I've always been impressed by how well they pull off the different aspects of all of these options. I personally prefer going to the Stable Grill for lunch, as this is a bit easier on the wallet.
The Stone House is a very old mansion that has been converted to a formal restaurant. The entrees are all named after historical Wisconsin figures, as in the Dewey pork, named after the first state governor. The walls are decorated with antiques and other historic relics from Wisconsin's past. I recently had dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday, and we were seated in a small room on the second level, completely private and with a small window looking out to the lawn. It was a great experience. My meal (the aforementioned Dewey pork) was excellent, and I especially enjoyed the side salad with a citrus vinagrette and strawberry and apple slices. On previous occasions I have always been seated downstairs in the main dining area since my grandmother doesn't handle steps all that well. The prices for entrees here are certainly on the high side - mine was over $20 - but the service is impeccable and the atmosphere is well worth it for special occasions. The only drawback to the evening was my drink - too light on the J&B and too heavy on the water. Also, the Stone House is the only part of Quivey's that takes reservations.
The Stable Grill is a much more affordable option for repeated visits. The building is a renovated barn and the decor keeps with theme. Some of the tables are made of old wagon wheels. It's a livelier place, and on weekends a piano player is in the bar (he happens to be a UW professor and I took one of his classes my last semester). The entrees and sandwiches are named after local towns, and both the lunch and dinner menus are well balanced. I especially like the Middleton perch filets and Paoli beef tenderloin. The prices are a step lower here, and there are nightly specials for each day. My favorite is the Monday tenderloin special.
There is also an outdoor element to Quivey's in the form of a big tent in the lawn in front of the Stable Grill. On Friday nights there is a fish fry special and this is where to bring kids because there are plenty of games and room to run around. Businesses or groups can also rent this out for lunch picnics or barbeques, and there are sometimes weddings done out on the lawn. I've been to a barbecue put on by a vendor and it was really well done. There was pulled pork and smoked brisket sandwiches with Spotted Cow. An acquaintance of mine had a wedding here too. I didn't go, but mutual friends have always told me it was a success despite a little inclement weather. Lastly, there is a beer tasting festival that happens in September. It's been a favorite of a couple friends of mine and I'm looking forward to going this year.
