Great restaurant.
Really good company.

Come for a memorable meal, settle in for a big game, or catch up with familiar faces at the bar. It's the kind of place where your first visit can feel like you've been coming for years.

Just dropped by to get a drink. Coerced into getting the cheese curds. Amazing! And gluten free! The tiramisu was so light and delicious. The candied bacon brownie was melt in your mouth divine! The wait staff was friendly and fun. Definitely headed back again!!

We recently stopped in and had a really nice overall experience. The owner is incredibly personable and you can tell they genuinely care about the place and the people coming through the door. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. We tried several appetizers and they were fantastic — easily a highlight of the meal. The desserts were just as impressive. Everything we had in those categories was flavorful and well executed.

Jaimie S.

Delicious food served by friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a cocktail and/or gather with friends and family. Reservations suggested for Friday fish fry and Saturday Prime Rib specials. ... Definitely a welcome addition to the Westside of Oconomowoc for dinner and cocktails. We highly recommend giving this new restaurant a try for a burger and boneless wings or fish fry because this is what we’ve ordered so far,but we will be continuing to stop and try different menu items each time!
