    This review is a from a few weeks ago. My husband wanted to go to a supper club for his birthday, so I made reservations at Colony House. When I made the reservation, I spoke with Karen and told her this was a birthday celebration and wanted a special celebration. When we arrived, I did see the note next to our name in the reservation book. We were seated and there was no mention. We were seated by a large group , and it was impossible to have a conversation, since we could not hear each other. May reviews stated it was loud, but I never experienced this level of loudness in a restaurant. Service was good, but very slow, to the point it was not enjoyable. Food was very good, we stared with the shrimp de jonghe. It was filled with shrimp, butter, and garlic...very good! We had prime rib, T-bone with shrimp and mushrooms and chicken piccata. All of entrees were companied with soup and salad, and a side - either potato or vegetables. The food was well prepared and we all took home left overs. Cocktails were well made and very reasonably priced. They never did acknowledge the birthday and we were so frustrated with the noise I did no ask. It is unfortunate, since the food is excellent, but the service and loudness negatively impacted the experience. Not sure if we would return.

    My parents go here every Friday night and I decided to join right before the holidays! I'm vegetarian so the menu is pretty light on entree options. I ended up getting artichoke dip, a salad and onion rings! The artichoke dip was fantastic, the salad was pretty basic and small and the onion rings were yummy! Honestly the artichoke dip was one of the best I've ever had. Five stars for that dip. The only reason I rated it a four is because I think they should add another vegetarian entree option! The decor is beautiful around Christmas. It felt like we went to the North Pole and stopped to see Santa.

    My parents treated us to dinner at Colony House for our anniversary, as it has always been one of their favorite special dinner spots and it did not disappoint. We made reservations for right when they opened to beat the crowds; service and ambiance was fantastic. It is a relatively small place but they spaced the tables out well and the noise level was minimal so we could enjoy conversation. We started with the baked escargot appetizer which was another first for us; it was delicious. They also bring our fresh baked bread. All entrees come with soup, salad and starch choice, which we're all good. I opted for the steak Diane, which was cooked perfectly and the bernaise sauce was great. My mom and husband had the beef Wellington which was one of the daily specials. Both enjoyed it but said the liver pate was too much and made the pastry a little soggy. My dad had chicken dinner and my daughter got the kids prime rib, which was huge! Everyone enjoyed their meals very much. Normally we can't eat that much food but the portion sizes were perfect and everyone opted for desert as well; crème brûlée, chocolate cake, chocolate lava cake and a chocolate mousse. Pricing was very reasonable, especially for the amount of food we received and the excellent service. We will be back.

    We just returned home from what used to be one of our favorite restaurants to go to, Colony House Restaurant in Trevor, Wisconsin. I had the Fish and Chips, and my husband had the Chicken Dijon. Several things have gone downhill since our last visit here. The fish and chips consisted of a soggy piece of salty breaded fish; it seemed like it had been sitting and warmed up prior to being served. It also came with three small smashed "fried" potatoes that weren't even crispy. The chicken Dijon was extremely dry and very salty. In the past, the salads that came with the meal were visually appealing and appetizing. The salad they serve tonight was basically flat in the sense that they have become very skimpy with the salad. The only saving grace for tonight's meal was the cup of potato soup that was pretty good, and that the servers were attentive as always. The real kicker is that all the prices have gone up anywhere from $3 to $8 on the entire menu, with most of the menu items leaning towards the higher price increase. The prices they show on their website do not match the prices on the menus we were provided. (See attached photos.) Also, the restaurant was way too noisy which made it difficult to visit with the friends we were with. Apparently, new management took over on October 1. Sadly, in my opinion, they're going in the wrong direction as the quality of the food and the value just isn't there anymore.

    Came in for dinner at 5:30pm on a Sunday evening. We made reservations the day before and those are highly recommended, particularly if you want a specific table. It was our first time, so we didn't request anything special. There were two of us and we were seated at a table in the middle of the dining room. We noticed that we were seated in a high traffic area and there was a lot of noise. We noticed a small room at the end of the dining room that was kind of closed off that had an empty table for two. We asked if we could be moved there, but were told that someone else had already reserved that table. Each entree came with choice of soup, salad, and potato. I got the garden salad, chose the chili as my soup, and the twice baked potato. The garden salad was your standard fare (lettuce, cucumber, onion, etc.) and was a good start. The chili was also decent, but again it was a regular everyday chili. We also requested some cooked carrots (an option with the entree), and those arrived for the table. The carrots were tender and sweet. Yummy! The duck was wonderfully cooked, served with some apple slices and a delicious glaze. The service was particularly friendly, as one might expect at a "supper club" style place. The biggest challenge with my experience was the noise level. I had to raise my voice to have a conversation with my wife who was sitting next to me, and I had a hard time hearing her as well. Mind you, my hearing is perfectly fine, having had it tested recently. The issue is the acoustics in the dining room make conversations very difficult. It really ruined my experience. Bottom line is that the food and service are good, but the noise level makes conversation difficult. There are a few tables in the bar area. Perhaps those might have less noise. Anyway, for the noise reason, I don't expect to be back.

    The service was amazing and we even got to meet one of the owners as he was sitting in the bar, such a kind soul. Our server was witty and knew her stuff! She recommended great items and everything tasted fabulous. It was quite busy on a saturday night so it was pretty noisy where we were sitting in the bar, but the place is so quaint and adorable. I loved how every entree came with soup salad and most with a side (pasta didn't get a side though). We also got warm fresh bread and it went amazing in our soup. We also got two desserts but I forgot to take a pic- carrot cake and 3 layer chocolate mousse cake. Both fabulous and came with fresh whipped cream. Prices weren't too bad with everything that came with! (total $150 for 4 ppl. excluding drinks from bar) I can't wait to go back and try more food!

    We came with no reservation on a saturday night but i think it was a blessing since we ended up sitting at the bar. Norm, the bartender was amazing. He is very attentive. We are not from the area and it is our first time dining here. Food and service was excellent, definitely recommending this to anyone. I would say sit in the bar!

    My wife took me here for my birthday. The ambiance was good. The steak was boring. But everything else was great.

No cliques here. The owner greeted me immediately with a hug. It was about 7Pm and this place was packed. The bartender immediately asked what I wanted to drink and within a minute a tall glass was sitting in front of me. The chefs were working so hard fixing nonstop orders of fish, fries, burgers, and tater tots for the most part. They were moving like a conveyor belt with the orders. From the time I arrived, until I left, not one order was messed up. All the staff are pretty friendly and just awesome overall. Don't expect long conversations if you're looking for liquor paid psychiatrist work while Friday fish orders are being filled. I had the baked cod (was always my favorite) and the first time the walleye with the broccoli crunch and tater tots. Walleye reminds me of catfish. Omg, everything was a 100 out of a 10 to be honest. Coming out of a dive tavern, yes. Everything had the right crunch or the perfect flakiness. Loved it. Friday Fishfry is the bomb here in my opinion. They do have a pool table, jukebox, and a couple of TVs.

The interior is an old house basement with living room and all! A few televisions to watch the games along with a $.25 pool table and Pull tab dispenser!
