Great food Highly recommend to get reservations. The bar service was a disappointment, we had a party of 8 and waited for a bartender to serve us, we'll we're still waiting. Our waitress however was just super! We all sat down and ordered drinks and everything went as smooth as could be. The waitress (Krystal?) Was just as nice as a person could be She had everyone covered with the food ordered to the drinks ordered GREAT JOB! It was a great experience and very enjoyable, hope for the same to you
The food was amazing!!! The service, not so much! We spent $189 for lunch, and our server didn’t even smile, make any suggestions offer to refill our drinks yet thank you.
The food was delicious and fresh. We loved the haddock fingers appetizer and crab cakes. The tenderloin and prime rib were cooked perfectly. Our server was great, he gave us recommendations and answered questions. He came to check on us just often enough.
The service was amazing . Hard to come by these days . A very classy old school super club vibe . Extensive menu with many specials . Getting there and ordering before 5PM would be wise for the pricing is way cheaper with great specials . We had steak and fish. The steak was cooked beautifully and seasoned perfectly. Also the tenderloin tips with mushrooms and vegetables were above average . Broiled haddock was amazing , very flaky and not overcooked . We would come back again most definitely
True supper club experience. The service was superior, friendly, good suggestions and attention to detail. Our party of four each had a different entree. All of us raved a out the food. I recommend the French Onion Soup. My prime rib was fantastic, very flavorful. The steak, pork and seafood the others ordered were presented beautifully. Everyone commented on how good their choice was. Defenitely don't miss The Red Ox
We were seated immediately upon arrival. We were there at 4pm. And it sure did not take that place long to fill up over the dinner hour. We ordered a few appetizers for our table and I was sure to save room for dessert. The crab Rangoon‘s were very tasty. The artichoke spinach dip was amazing. The shrimp in the red chili sauce was out of this world!. Amanda was our server and she was very attentive. For dessert I tried the blueberry lemon cake , oh yeah, glad I did.
Visiting town for our first game at Lambeau and decided to stop here for food. The steaks we had were perfectly cooked. The Haddock trio and jumbo shrimp were outstanding. If you're visiting the area for the first time, this is the place to go.
