That's exactly what happened with La Rana. My cousin and his wife said that it's one of their favorites and after this chicken salad, I can see why. The ciabatta was pillowy soft and this Sriracha almond chicken salad was perfection. The salad was lightly dressed with an amazing balsamic vinaigrette, and I'm glad that I split the sandwich with someone because it would have been tough to get through both halves.

The ordering at the front makes things super quick and seamless, once food is brought to the tables they are self service for everything else mostly! The whole ambiance from Saturdays hustle and bustle packed table to table then on Sunday a calm, quiet, vibe filled morning - both times food was amazing! You HAVE to try the apple danish, my ladies said their coffees were some of the best they had in the area as the beans were high quality, and otherwise I don't think you could go wrong with any of the breakfast options but my favorites were the biscuits and gravy, their plate sized pancake (added berries!), and a breakfast burrito with Green Chile sauce. This cafe is not only gorgeously decorated, but with the food being a hit - it's a must go if in the Decorah area.

Service was hit and miss, we had a really friendly and energetic high school student who often checked on us to see if we needed anything. The only issue was our garlic bread appetizer came out after we got our pizzas. We needed to ask about them and could see them on the kitchen counter getting cold. The server apologized saying he never heard his name called to pick them up. It happens. There is plenty of room inside for two people or a larger group. The place was well lit for the evening crowd and I felt it was very clean. We would go back if we were in town.

The shrimp ceviche was ridiculously fresh and tasty. I am looking forward to forward to leftovers. My son asked our waiter, who I'm pretty sure was the owner, what his favorite thing was, it was a shrimp and mushroom dish with a creamy red sauce, he does not have left overs. We did not have drinks besides water, but the Margaritas were a good size and looked yummy. We sat out on the patio and there was no lack in good service. There are two indoor dinning rooms that have a lot of comfortable seating. Rating muy bueno!

The BEST one I've ever had. I will be begging the bartenders to teach me their ways before they close their doors. This is our top choice in town to celebrate accomplishments and achievements.

We also loved our fish tacos and linguini with scallops (I absolutely loved the crushed red pepper that came with it too!). Our food all paired nicely with their extensive cocktail/drinks menu, which included many different breweries and distilleries.

The Supper Club Standard: A Night of Steaks and Levity at Jones' Black Angus…read moreOn the sprawling Highway 18 in Prairie du Chien, Jones' Black Angus stands as a stalwart of the Wisconsin supper club tradition--a place where the atmosphere is as thick as the cuts of beef and the hospitality feels like an invitation into a neighbor's dining room. The experience is anchored by a service staff that possesses that rare blend of professional precision and genuine personality. Our waitress, Grace, was the heartbeat of the evening. She navigated the floor with a warmth that felt entirely unscripted, providing a level of care that culminated in a particularly touching gesture: when one member of our party stepped away during the presentation of the dessert tray, Grace made a point of returning later to ensure he received the full, choreographed "view" of the nightly sweets. The culinary journey begins at the salad bar, which is--to put it simply--impeccable. In an era where many establishments have retired this particular ritual, Jones' maintains it with a freshness and variety that honors the tradition. However, the evening's primary entertainment came in the form of a recurring linguistic gag. When the soup of the day arrived--a dish that was, by all sensory accounts, a classic gumbo--Grace insisted with a wink that it was "jambalaya." The ensuing debate became the running joke of the night, a bit of shared levity that only a truly great server can cultivate. But the kitchen is not just about the sides and the stories. The filet was impeccable--perfectly seasoned, expertly seared, and possessing that melt-in-the-mouth quality that justifies the Black Angus name. My sincere compliments to the chef for a masterclass in steakhouse fundamentals. "A great steakhouse is about more than just the meat; it's about the memory of the meal." -- Unknown Jones' Black Angus is a reminder of why the supper club remains a beloved institution. Between the "jambalaya" jests, the meticulously curated salad bar, and a filet that commands respect, it is a destination that delivers both a full heart and a full plate.
