What a fun new spot in the Dells. It was easy to find and nicely updated. This place is huge. We went up a grand staircase to our table. Service was friendly and food was really good! Lots of options. The Wisconsin brandy old fashioned was delicious! The cheese curds were perfection. The burger was enormous but nice quality meat. We will be making this a regular stop in the Dells!

Top notch food, service, and ambiance on the patio! We had Harper's pasta, house meatloaf with Mac and cheese, crab cakes, Wisconsin cheese curds, and flourless chocolate torte...we highly recommend this place.

I love historic homes and restaurants that are unique. This place caught my eye on our way back to our hotel. We didn't have a reservation and was able to get in and seated in a room of our choosing...the Haunted Room! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was on her first day and we couldn't even tell. We ordered coffee which was deliciously rich and smooth. I am picky with coffee and this one was perfect. I would say the salmon was better than at another well known supper club in the same area. The Manor Salad was a huge portion with fresh spring mix, a lot of candied walnuts, and the salmon add on was full filet. I had the Harper Pasta which had quite a bit of shrimp and a large portion of pasta. Overall, a great experience and beautiful place to enjoy a nice meal.

We drove by this place last year when it was still in the construction phase so for sure wanted to try this place out on our weekend trip. We were here on Friday night, was a bit surprised they didn't have a fish fry special but was not a big deal. I'd heard portions were large so knowing me and my sister both wanted the meatloaf, I suggested splitting it. We also tacked on the loaded potato soup, wedge salad and the brussel sprouts. Everything was so good! The wedge salad came with a ton of crumbled bleu cheese, iceberg lettuce was crisp and cold, perfect. Loaded potato soup was delicious. The brussel sprouts were plentiful, flavorful, and crispy. The cheese stuffed meatloaf was really good, placed on top of mashed potatoes and topped with mac and cheese, plus veggies. Loved seeing the mocktail section. I got the demure mule and my sister got the peach Collins. We enjoyed both. Service was great. We liked starting out with a sample of their dream soda, butterscotch flavor. The restaurant is beautiful. There are a variety of rooms to be seated in. We were seated upstairs. I was surprised that the bathrooms were near the speakeasy in basement. With it being new construction, I would have thought each floor would have had bathrooms. There is also a cute gift shop. Definitely check this place out!

I came here when they first opened with my husband and everything we had was fine but every menu item was a bit complicated for his taste. He's a basic steak and potatoes kind of guy. I came a second time by myself and I think that'll be the last trip for me. I went pretty early on a weeknight. They sat me in a corner at the with a family right next to me even though the room had other empty tables (they were so close they bumped into my table when they got up to leave). I eat out alone pretty frequently and don't usually mind a small space but when the restaurant is half empty, they shouldn't be seating anyone in a corner at a table so small it could barely fit the relish tray, a salad and an order of fries. I was there for girl dinner with a book and wound up listening to this family's entire meal. The food was good, and I know this is a place meant for groups and celebrations but I still won't be back.

We had our wedding anniversary dinner at Dawn Manor this Monday, and seeing as that is not a regular dining night for most, we didn't expect it to be as wonderful as it was. We both loved all of the history of the house and the staff let us look into all of the lovingly designed rooms before we went downstairs and had cocktails. The bartender was absolutely fantastic with both her skills and conversation and we felt so welcomed. We had two cocktails each, my favorite was the Lake Michigan Fog and my husband's was the smoked old fashioned. When we went upstairs we had a cozy table in the " haunted room " complete with a classy " happy anniversary " sign that made us feel even more special. Since we had an excellent shrimp cocktail in the bar that was so fresh and delicious, we started with salads - both the wedge and the manor salad were larger than expected and the house dressing is superb. I had the filet which they admitted to having to remake since the first didn't turn out perfect and the one they served me certainly was. We had sides of broccolini and garlic mashed potatoes that were not overly seasoned but perfectly complimented the meal. The wine list, while not too extensive, was very thoughtful as well and we had a great Cakebread Cab that was perfect with steak. While we enjoy finishing a dinner with espresso, we settled for coffee and strawberry shortcake, and they even sent us home with a chocolate mousse as a gift. It was a wonderful evening we won't forget.

There were a lot of hits at this new hot spot in the Dells. Parking lot is open and grounds are beautiful as you enter. Downstairs speakeasy is very cool and fun. We sat upstairs by the window and were thankful that we had a great spot. Prime rib and walleye were delicious. Waitstaff were good at their jobs. A few misses: downstairs bathroom smelled very musty. No rolls, crackers, or homemade bread of any kind offered. We were celebrating a special occasion and no perks or fun treats were given or acknowledged. There is a lot of potential for this space and it was a fun experience, but other spots in the Dells might compete on a higher level when it comes to a special night out.

This has to be a Wisconsin Dells gem! They just opened up earlier this year, and someone in our group found this place and made a reservation for a party of 8, including two children. As you walk in, you'll see a gift shop, and the maître d's post directly facing the door. You're then shown to your table - they have dining rooms in the main floor as well as the upper floor. Their bathrooms are down in the basement next to the speakeasy bar. Their menu offers a lot of classic American and hearty variety, ranging from prime ribs, to meatloaf with Mac n cheese, to salmon dishes. The top favorite was the prime rib (this is a MUST TRY!) and the salmon dish was great! The Mac n cheese and meatloaf was also a classic. They offer some good appetizers and desserts. I definitely recommend!

Have been here many times since they opened, and have tried nearly everything on the menu and really enjoyed the place. Unfortunately this visit was underwhelming. The $32 Honest Abe meatloaf was not good, potato soup had a single chunk of potsto in it and the steak crostini had an odd flavor. Unlike many diners who have a subpar experience, I made a point to give a heads up to the manager. Bad move. After being curtly offered a free desert, removal of entree charge, replacement, etc. (all declined, I wasn't looking for a freebie) I was then informed that he has opened 93 restaurants, apparently I must be in the wrong. While the issues with the food wouldn't prevent me from returning, the s arky attitude we received will have us spending our money in the Dells' other restaurants. Note: they did remove the charge for the entree and soup, which was kind.

I can't tell you how disappointed we are in our first visit to Dawn Manor. I should say we were embarrassed for them for this dining experience. We went in with high expectations and looked forward to a wonderful experience. Unfortunately we have dubbed it the Haunted Mansion rather than Dawn Manor. I assume this was a very bad late Saturday afternoon for them but hard to believe it was an isolated event. With reservations in hand, we arrived early and had a great drink with the bartender Germany at the smaller bar. Very nice drink, atmosphere and Germany was great to chat with. After that it was a steep drop of a cliff. Our waitress greeted us and she was obviously drunk and incoherent. I can't imagine how the management team let her serve anyone. Unfortunate. Started with the Shrimp Tower which is a nice presentation but for $25 for 6 medium shrimps and not enough sauce... very disappointing. The ribeye was full of gristle. The au gratin potatoes were a very small serving. The chicken was very small. Lastly, the salad was served without dressing. Unfortunate outing, 3 meals, a confused and drowsy, slurring waitress and a $200 bill. The place was filling up and did not want to make a compliant with a busy front house crew. What good would of done and we just wanted to leave at this point. Paid bill and left, found it difficult to believe this happened with high expectations and other people who left strong Yelp reviews. Hope they clean this up because it is a nice location and facility.
