After getting settled in, we decided to pop in for a drink before grabbing some dinner. Our server was amazing and so very kind when I asked if I could get a Penelope toasted old-fashioned. We got really lucky on an October fall night by being able to sit outside on their lit up patio that overlooks the town center. they have various signature cocktails that boast bold flavor and fun pairings. And if you're into low proof or no proof cocktails, they did not leave you out as they have a fantastic menu showcasing delicious recipes for those as well. This ended up being a super special weekend for us and I can't wait for us to return back.

You get a beer card which is linked to the credit card you provided upon check in and then you go to the wide range of taps on the wall and fill up your glass. There's a little variety in the sizes and types of glassware to choose from. You are charged by oz, and the price is clearly displayed on the signage. I thought it was going to cost us much more to do it this way instead of sitting down and ordering a drink but we think it actually ended up being cheaper to drink this way. We decided to take a seat outside on the patio. It's a large area with games and plenty of different types of seating. You order through the QR code on the menu and your food gets delivered to your table. It came out fairly quick and we were hungry so we ordered way too much food. We tried the Mediterranean Chicken Flatbread which was really good and I highly recommend just getting that! Had the Mediterranean Salad. A nice sized portion and very fresh. Tried the 12 pc boneless wings. I don't normally like boneless wings but that is all they had. So we tried them. Not impressed. Very thick breading, no outstanding flavor. These felt like bar food, which is okay. It is a bar but in comparison to our delicious flatbread I was disappointed. Lastly we tried the Garlic Parmesan Cheese Curds. These were unlike any cheese curd I've had before. They were huge squares which felt like hunks of bread. I though they were too big and too cheesy for my tastebuds. It was a nice place to stop in while we were traveling through and a great day to sit out on the patio.

We had a good natured discussion about that. Long story longer great little bar to spend some time at. P.S. the fact that I am only the second person to review this bar tells you something. Lots of flip phones still.

She asked if I had been there before and asked me what I wanted to drink and gave me a menu. I come to EC a few times a year and this was my first time at CNH but it wont be my last. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger (with crinkle cut fries) and an order of the cheese curds. Curds came out fresh, hot and crispy. Paired with their ranch, these were the perfect start to the meal. After that came out the freshly grilled burger and fries. This was a no frills burger, but it was exactly what I like. Nice char on the burger, melty cheese and crispy salty bacon. Each bite brought me to a family bbq that I was missing. Fries were hot and fresh, perfect in my eyes. CNH came in clutch for a quick lunch and I will be back!

I think it was dill. either way, I feel like the batter is an afterthought at other places with fried fish. the crinkle fries were ok. I would have preferred them crsipier and with more seasoning. the service was great! our server, Ian, was top notch. friendly, without being overbearing. we had a great conversation and he really helped make our experience wonderful. give them a try. sure, it's off the beaten path, but the atmosphere was terrific and the fish is delicious!

(Spoiler -- it was a delightful meal!) The Wissota Chophouse is inside the Cobblestone Hotel. It has a separate entrance that leads right into the dining room. It's not a very big space, but the table arrangements are comfortable, with different-sized tables to accommodate larger groups. We had a 7:00 reservation and were seated right away. Menus and waters came quickly, and our server checked in with us immediately. In addition to taking our drink order (Huckleberry Old Fashioned for me), our server did a nice job of explaining the menu items. He was also candid about the dishes he didn't think were the "best" choices. I really appreciate it when a server feels connected to the customers and confident enough in their own palate to share honest opinions. We ordered the calamari appetizer. Our server wasn't crazy about that choice, but we went ahead anyway. It was "okay." It's sautéed rather than fried, so you have to set your expectations accordingly. It was hot, flavorful, and a good portion. However, like a lot of sautéed calamari, the rings were overly chewy :( They also provide a complimentary bread service (French?), which was fresh and warm, served with butter and a couple of different salts. That was unique and very good. Our entrées included Ribeye, Chicken Ballotine, Carbonara, and Sea Bass (for me). These items are à la carte, so we also ordered sides of Brussels Sprouts and Mac & Cheese. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time, and everything was served at the right temperature. The Ribeye was excellent, and big enough to share. The Chicken Ballotine was tender and flavorful. My Sea Bass was amazing, though the portion was a bit small. Both sides were very good, especially the Brussels Sprouts, which had just the right amount of crisp. We saved room for dessert and shared two -- the Chocolate Cake and the Raspberry Tiramisu. Both were excellent. Overall, the evening was a big success. I really appreciated our server's help and attention throughout the night (thanks, Bruce). The food was wonderful (with one exception). The atmosphere was upscale but casual. It's not a cheap dinner, but for what you get, I feel it's a good value. Overall, a memorable evening -- I'd gladly return.

I had a few chewy pieces, but that did not detract me from enjoying the sandwich from start to finish. I sat at the bar, as I didn't need a table for one and it was going to be a quick lunch. I do enjoy bar service, and Peter (I believe) was the bartender/server for lunch service was very personable and recommend the hot beef, the dish I was after for this visit. Ambiance is a classic Wisconsin bar/grill with money taking machines (hopefully not) and of course, pull tabs. There are outside patio tables, as well as, inside table service. West Hill Bar & Grill is more than just a bar with food! Give them a try and support your local businesses!!

I wish it came in a tall glass just like the regular margarita did. The regular margarita was very good as well. You have the option of salt or tajin on the rim. I special ordered the sprimp fajitas as they didn't just have shrimp as an option. Thankfully they were still able to accommodate my request because the fajitas were delicious!! You get rice and beans on the side & an option of guac or sour cream as a topping. You also get a choice of flour or corn tortillas. You definitely get your bang for your buck with this entree. The chef use to be the same chef as Manny's in Eau Claire so all the food was delicious. They have to many fresh seafood options which I loved. Overall I'd definitely come back!!
