Great spot for pizza (dough made in-house), a sit down dinner, or ice cream. They have a salad bar and a warm potato bar, tonight with baked potato, hash browns, au gratin, mashed with gravy and red potatoes...delish! They have nice fish fry options on Friday. I've had the pizza which was good. Tonight I got the shrimp and tenderloin. The shrimp had a very nice and light breading and was great. The tenderloin was very good. They bring a cute, small loaf of bread with the dinners. Only suggestion I have is they should warm this bread.

My boyfriend and I had Linda as our hostess and she was amazing. She was very friendly and very outgoing.

Anthony's Ristorante - Spinach salad with maple syrup dressing

Food was very high quality & pricey. I got the lobster cakes / mashed potatoes with spinach with maple syrup dressing & hubby got a steak. Steak was ok, lobster cakes were good & spinach salad was outstanding.

We made a reservation for three on 7/8/26 at 6:30 p.m. We arrived around 6:20 p.m. and waited by the "Please Wait to Be Seated" sign, but no one acknowledged us. After standing there for about five minutes, someone finally came over, checked us in, and told us they were just getting our table ready. Unfortunately, that took another 30 minutes. We weren't seated until around 7:00 p.m. We're used to waiting and completely understand that the busy summer season can be overwhelming for small businesses. That said, having a reservation made the wait a bit more frustrating since we expected our table to be ready closer to our reservation time. To make matters worse, a party of about 15 that had been drinking at the bar was seated in the same dining room shortly after we were. They filled nearly the entire space, their kids were running around, and the only air conditioning unit in the restaurant was turned off by them when they sat down. The room quickly became incredibly hot, loud, and uncomfortable. It honestly got to the point where I felt like I might pass out. Our waitress was very kind and attentive, and I have nothing but positive things to say about her service. The food was a mixed experience. The standout items were the complimentary bread with the olive spread, which was delicious, and the mussels appetizer. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous portion, and the broth was so flavorful it was almost drinkable. It really just needed a few slices of crostini or grilled bread to soak up every last bit. The entrées, however, were just average. I know better than to order carbonara in the Northwoods, but I decided to give it a chance anyway, hoping I'd finally be proven wrong. Unfortunately, I wasn't. This wasn't really a carbonara. It was much closer to an Alfredo sauce, lacked the rich flavor you'd expect, and included ingredients like spinach that aren't part of a traditional carbonara. The fish served on top, however, was cooked well and nicely seasoned. Overall, Anthony's was a one-and-done experience for us. While it may be a solid option for the area, the combination of the delayed seating, uncomfortable dining environment, and underwhelming entrées left us with little desire to return.

This was to be for their regular delivery which I thought was two days but is actually three days. Because the product is perishable if you don't order by a certain time on Wednesday, the order won't go until the following week. Something to know if you need food more quickly. I was ordering for a birthday. Because I ordered on a Wednesday, the delivery didn't go out to the following Monday and didn't arrive till Wednesday. The order was for bacon. It came in a cooler with some ice pack/gel packs, which were completely soft and at room temperature. The bacon was in a separate plastic bag. The bag as well as the bacon itself were at absolute room temperature. This was obviously unsafe to eat. I called to ask for te-delivery and because of the delay, which was entirely their responsibility, I asked if it could be expedited to overnight delivery. They almost laughed when I asked if I could have an expedited delivery. They made a point of saying it might not be just two days but might be three days. I said that's a long time for a small cooler being delivered to summer hot temperatures. They did not acknowledge this. I first ordered from nueske's at least 20 to 30 years ago and always thought of them as a friendly and helpful company. I spoke to several different people on the phone and none of them seemed like they they cared at all about the faulty delivery. It would've been nice to have some small concession. If not expedited delivery, they could've pointed out that online there was a 15% discount in all orders and if I had requested a refund, I could've re-ordered with the discount. Or -they used to sometimes include a small bonus of some sort in the delivery. anything that acknowledged, they had made a bad delivery which caused the food not to arrive by the first it was being ordered for. But it was the uncaring attitude, completely unexpected from nueske's. I will not order from them again.

They were already pretty busy and not serving in the beer garden. They had some great local beers on tap. I asked the bartender, how to get food if sitting outside. She said the grill was pretty backed up and pizza was our best bet. I ordered two Muskie Bites and a Pub Special pizza (without peppers). We sat in the beer garden with our puppy. A family sat nearby. Their young girl entering first grade, showered our puppy with attention. I ordered a White Legs (a jalapeño wheat ale), also on tap - excellent! The bartender Ambee brought the pizza out herself. It was really great - and without the green peppers as ordered. We were quite pleased. She was once of those servers that you have to admire. Professional, didn't dawdle, acknowledged my presence while waiting at the bar, when it was my turn to be served, she was quickly informative. Turns out she gave great advice on the pizza. She answered our questions about the Friday fish fry when delivering the pizza. Great service and food, local beers on tap. Dog friendly- we will be back.

I asked why the front door was open and got a dumb look from the cleaning boy. He said " Nothing was ready yet". I'm thinking that " You're the 65 year old cleaning boy with a spray bottle And a rag in your hand?? Who's making the breakfast??? Why aren't you helping because you open in ten minutes???" Needles to say that we were kicked out ten minutes before they opened even though the front door was Open. !!
