    Fettuccine with chicken and broccoli
    Dawn H.

    I was staying in the connected DoubleTree hotel and didn't feel like driving to find dinner. I walked into the restaurant and was a bit confused because that entry brought me into the middle of the dining room. I had to walk through the entire restaurant to get to the hostess stand. I decided to sit at the bar and was greeted immediately. The waitress took my order and brought out warm bread with butter. The bread was soft and I had to stop myself from eating the entire loaf. My meal also came with a salad that I didn't get a picture of but I requested the house pepper dressing which was delicious. The Alfredo was just ok. The chicken didn't have a lot of flavor and the Alfredo sauce tasted like a doctored up jar sauce. The restaurant has a dark moody type of vibe that would be nice for a date night. They also have an outdoor bar overlooking the water but I went to dinner after the sun had set so I missed the view. I would go back if staying at the hotel again.

    We had a delicious, relaxing dinner here when we were in town overnight a couple weeks ago. We live less than an hour away, so we are already making plans to go back later this summer. The restaurant is set on the Racine marina, adjacent to an inexpensive parking garage ($2). Getting there from our hotel was easy and quick. The restaurant is in the same building as the Doubletree, but that's not where we were staying, We called ahead and made a reservation, but still had to wait a few minutes for our table, which we did at one of the small tables in the bar. We hadn't been served there by the time our table was ready - it was just a few quick minutes' wait. As it turned out, waiting was probably to our benefit, because they asked if we were willing to sit upstairs as a table had opened up there. I asked if it was the same view as downstairs, and she said better. And it was! We were in the circular, turret-like area at one corner of the restaurant, the second floor of which our server later told us had been added when the new owner had remodeled and reopened the restaurant. Our awesome server Christina told us that originally it was just a large open area, with only a first floor. Putting that second floor in was definitely a great decision, as we had a beautiful, up-high view of the marina and Lake Michigan beyond it. We decided to order both the prime rib and a New York strip, and split the two. Both were delicious. The prime rib was lean and juicy, and the steak was nicely charred and seasoned. Both were served perfectly medium rare, just as we had ordered them. We ordered mid-size cuts of both, and there was plenty left over to take home for another meal later in the week. The espresso martini was tasty. So much so that I had a second one for dessert.

    We had an okay experience at Corner House. This was my first time at the new location. We had reservations for 6:30pm but we weren't seated until 7pm. Not a good start. Also, many of the employees didn't have their masks on or covering their face fully, including the hostesses and bartenders. They attempted social distancing in the dining rooms but there is nothing of the sort at the bar and that's where the front entrance is. Our server, Orlando, was amazing. He was funny, quick and attentive to our requests. Ask for him! The food was all great starting with the warm bread at the table. We had the French onion which was delish. All good reviews around the table for the various entrees. You get soup, salad and potato of choice with all entrees so you won't be leaving hungry. They also gave us a brandy alexander ice cream dish for the birthday we were celebrating so that was a nice, unexpected touch. I may try it again but I will probably take my time before returning.

    Corner House is an old school supper club nestled in Racine. You can tell it's been around for quite some time and they do a fine job on serving up the goods and making you feel cozy. Typically, we pass through here for a cocktail or two before hitting nearby events. A good friend of ours finally got a gumption to get all us buds together and give this place a proper sit down and try it all out. To start the Corner House gets busy, so for a party of 16 we most definitely had reservations. As we all started to make our way in, we lined the galley style bar/dining area up and had the bar tender slanging them drinks! As the Corner House does, they only had 1 bartender on, so this guy was busy. With the hit or miss crowd it's hard to plan for when you'll need backup at the bar. For what it's worth the bartender handled it like a champ. Other than sometimes waiting a little to long no complaints here. On to the goods. I ordered the Tomahawk steak. This is one giant chunk of meat. For around $70 I would have expected it to be cooked to perfection. I requested it medium rare which in itself can be a hard cook but being it's a steakhouse I expected nothing short of perfection. It came out medium. Didn't get to the rare till near the bone. It was good but between the lack of seasoning and the overcook I was a little disappointed. Everything else that seemed to be coming to our table was solid though and for serving 16 people I really won't complain about the finer details. The wait staff handled and served us correct and that's a huge plus in my book. I ate my whole steak and left full so overall that's abut all one can ask for. If I ever come back, I will stick to what I think they do best, Prime Rib. I'll also come with a smaller group so I can see how they serve it up in a more intimate setting. I could give them a 3 but I think 4 stars is an appropriate position for the Corner House.

    Came here for a Christmas dinner with my dad, his fiance, my husband, and my brother and we had a great time. The meal was perfectly spread out so we didn't feel rushed at all. Our waitress was wonderful! She was right there for anything we needed and checked in on us every once in awhile. Everyone we came across from the hostess to the waitress was very professional and kind. I had the regular cut prime rib with garlic whipped potatoes and it was impeccable! Every bite melted in my mouth and I can't wait to eat the rest for left overs. I also had the Baked French Onion soup which was amazing, the salad with Thousand Island, and of course some of the delicious bread with butter. I would only suggest to have the butter at room temperature rather then cold. We had a lovely experience here and can't wait to come back!

    Visiting the area and took a walk over to Reefpoint. Overall, I'd recommend it. They are right in…read morethe marina here in Racine. The restaurant is quite spacious and located on the second level of the building. There are options to sit inside, outside but covered, or outside. The marina and Lake Michigan add the experience with great views from the deck area. Our server was very nice. She was super attentive, and we really appreciated her checking back in for refills, napkins, etc. The food was actually the highlight of my experience. I got the garlic shrimp skewers which came with a Hawaiian roll, Cole slaw and a side (I chose a baked potato). My partner got the prime rib dip with hush puppies. Didn't have a chance to take a pic of the cheese curds before they were devoured! Only downside is the place is VERY noisy. Everytime someone who move a chair, the scraping sound was otherworldly. They are metal chairs on a concrete/gravel flooring. Not ideal. And waitstaff was constantly dropping things and running into each other or the chairs/tables. That was a bit chaotic. However, the food was great and so were the views. They also have live music (they had wrapped up before we got there today). I'd definitely come back (maybe sit inside near an area where you can look out on the lake).

    Adam provided excellent service and was attentive to us. We tried the jambalaya which was packed…read morewith chicken, bay scallions, shrimp, and andouille sausage. We also tried the Cobb salad, which was equally delicious and there were plenty of leftovers of both dishes for the following day. The deck was the perfect setting overlooking the water and marina.
