Tried brunch today for the first time and it was delicious!! I'm a quesadilla snob and it was…read moreyummy, cooked very well. I've heard good things about the fries and they don't disappoint! The staff was kind, the food arrived in good timing, it was a nice quiet environment when I went and just a really great experience.

Atmosphere: It's located in a residential apartment building (I think?) but the back side of it is…read morea hotel. Decent amount of parking. They have a LOT of tables and a large bar. It is a vibe in here and the views are great, I love the atmosphere! They have an elevator or stairs to get up to the 5th floor. It is a tiny elevator if you are bringing a larger group. The bathrooms were immaculately clean and it felt like a spa vibe. Service: Friendly and helpful, got all of our orders correct and the food came out quite quickly. Drink: I HIGHLY recommend the mezcal bloody mary, it was my favorite part of the entire experience. I would come back just for that drink. Food: Everyone at the table was extremely happy with their food and was raving about it, except me lol The breakfast quesadilla is meh. The eggs were over cooked, not a lot of filling, and the filling was watery? Maybe from the veggies? Which doesn't make sense because there was barely anything other than egg in the quesadilla. The sauces didn't have a ton of flavor and the outside of the tortilla wasn't very crispy. I'm leaving 4 stars though because everyone else was extremely happy with their food and that mezcal bloody was fantastic. Super cute vibes and a great place to chill with family and friends.

Malarkey's was a fun lunch stop for my son and me recently. I couldn't believe how good my Guinness…read morefish and chips were. So flavor-packed and not too greasy. The place is dog-friendly (we ate in the bar, not the dining section). My son was super impressed with his burger. He claimed it was delicious, though it's certainly messy! The beer selection is impressive, and our server checked all the boxes with her friendly approach. The packer game was on, and I have to admit, the sound in the bar is not the greatest for hearing the game at a high quality. Likely the high ceilings are to blame, so no fault of the establishment. But it wouldn't be a place I'd go to watch a game.

This is my favorite in the Wausau area. The food is good and they have live music on occasion. The…read moredrinks are good and service on point. You can't go wrong here.

The charcuterie board was an excellent choice for a light meal while the kids eat their dinner early. The lemon dessert was light and delicate with a good balance of sweet and tart from the berries. Good beer from the Saw Mill as usual. Love dim lighting which creates a causal and relaxing ambiance.

The service is absolutely horrific! I give honest reviews, and I need to say that the hostess or…read morethe manager was truly a very awful person. We sat and waited for more than 40 minutes after our so called reservation. We were never asked if we wanted to sit upstairs or downstairs, but he was going to put us at a high top with two babies. That makes no sense at all! My neighbors were even there and asked for a downstairs table as they were elderly and couldn't get up the high stairs. They had to wait for almost an hour to get it. Unfortunately, we didn't even get to try the food, because the wait took so long. When I mentioned this to the manager, he literally yelled at us on our way out in front of everyone. What a wonderful memory of this place. He was a JERK. The place is adorable, but I would highly suggest to make sure you ask your customers if they want to sit upstairs or downstairs and their preferences before you decide to book a large group. Along with that, if you have people waiting for so long, at least offer them a water or something while they wait. I also heard from my Neighbors that their French toast was hard., the wait was long, and everything was overpriced for what you got. I would not suggest going here if you're looking to spend a half a day just waiting for just ok food.

New favorite in Wausau. Everything we ate was very good. Loved the restaurant and our waiter was…read morea lot of fun. I started with a crock of French Onion Soup which was a great combo 0f melted cheese and a tasty, buttery and salty broth with plenty of onions. I also ordered a Wedge Salad to split and it was one of the better wedges I've had. The blue cheese dressing was really tasty and everything was so fresh. My wife had an appetizer for dinner, it was the oysters lobterfeller (oyster Rockefeller with lobster bites in the mix) she loved it! My choice was the meatballs with made from scratch noodles which was also perfect. So much food I had to take some home. Was great the next day too!

Nice draft beer selection and Bloody Mary's were on point. Nice and spicy with good garnish. I had beet salad-it was delicious! I did not add any protein and with the breadstick it was quite filling. Husband had grilled chicken sandwich with fries and said it was good. Space was clean and pleasant. Nice to look out on town square.

First time trying this place on the recommendation of a friend, and I'm so glad they suggested it…read more Great late night diner vibe with "edgy" art on the walls and lots of counter seating. Service was also friendly and super efficient, with food made quickly. We were also happy to see there was a steady crowd coming in on a Tuesday night and the staff had no problems making sure everyone was taken care of. We started with the Taste of Manila Egg Rolls because we were so excited to see that something lived on from that restaurant which we miss. The egg rolls were quite tasty and the slaw and sauce just pulled everything together. For our main meals we had the M&O Melt with onion rings and the Red Hot Spicy Clucker with fries. I was happy the the spicy chicken sandwich actually had some heat to it and was full of flavor. The fries were also nicely fried. The M&O Melt was also tasty, and the onion rings were a favorite. Fried nicely so that they had a crunchy bite. It's always a plus when the onion doesn't come out all at once or separate from the breading. These were quite tasty and we definitely recommend the curry ketchup. It added a whole new flavor dimension to the onion rings and fries. Overall, can't wait to try some more menu items next time we're in the area. Definitely recommend.

Second time here for work dinner. Service again was top notch! Shrimp cocktail and Brussels…read moreappetizers were very generous and tasty! I had the salmon which was tender and melt in your mouth delicious. My friends had the meatballs and steak - both were scrumptious and beautifully plated.

We made a reservation online a few days before and we definitely needed it, the place was packed! Our table was ready right away and service was friendly throughout. The vibe feels upbeat, cozy and elegant which we loved! We ordered a bottle of red wine, bacon wrapped artichokes for a starter, and then I got the salmon and my husband got the pork shank. For the area this is pricey and we didn't feel like the food quite stood up to the price. Nothing terribly wrong just lacking a bit of flavor here and there. I would be open to trying again for another meal!

Did a pickup order from here on a Saturday and the online order process was super simple…read more Everything was ready on time when we showed up to pick it up. We ordered the butter chicken, korma with chicken medium spiced, Tikka roll, and garlic naan. The butter chicken, korma, and garlic naan were quite tasty. The medium spice gave a decent heat to the dish, but I was surprised that the leftovers we had didn't seem to get hotter. Actually the leftovers were more mild and I ended up adding hot sauces to it. Great portion sizes so that you can get leftovers though. The Tikka roll was very unique. I'm always a sucker for a flatbread roll, but this was unlike any I've had before. There was some sort of cabbage slaw or pickled veg on the inside that just didn't work for me with the Tikka. Quick tip with the Tikka roll, the korma makes a great dip/sauce for it. Overall, really good food and portions. I can't wait to get back to try more of the options and actually eat at the restaurant. This is a great addition to the Wausau area!
