    Chicken Dumpling Soup
    Abigail W.

    Very cute diner type place. The service was friendly and food was fine. I did feel like it wasn't super clean although I watched the staff cleaning off tables. My coffee was kept full and the chicken dumpling soup my boyfriend got looked good. I enjoyed my wrap, although there was no avocado. Potatoes were good and tasted like French fries

    Great old school cafe with half a dozen daily specials. Tremendous soup and service. Highly recommend. It has a family vibe.

    Very pleasant serving personnel. Quantity good, quality less than desired. Tried it twice, not a fan.

    Hubby had fish fry and loved it. Came with soup, coleslaw, potato pancakes and rye bread. Nice addition to Oconomowoc food offerings.

    A great choice if you are craving Italian food with a nice ambiance. As mentioned by other…read morereviewers, it can get crowded and reservations are definitely a better idea then chancing a walk-in. All of the servers that we have ever had here have been really, really nice as well as well informed as to the menu. The lasagna here is PHENOMENAL!! My wife and I usually order different dishes so that we can try new things, but here we always both order the lasagna. A typical night for us looks like an order of the bruschetta as an app, two lasagna entrees...and maybe a few vodka sodas and captain and diets to wash things down :) I have also tried the pizza a few times, and it is good...but the heart in my stomach is in love with the lasagna.

    Food: we started with some beer battered cheese curds that were unusually good. The cheese was…read moretender and warm unlike the cheese curds we have been used to. We tried a cranberry and apple salad with scallops. The scallops were the best part. The beer list was more interesting than the wine list, but they did have several wines available by the glass. 4/5 Service: Both the bartender and Andrea our server were very attentive 4.5/5 Ambience: huge parking lot surrounding the restaurant. There was apparently a birthday party for a six-year-old with some very wild children running about. Once they left, the place was much more pleasant. 3.5/5

    Awesome experience! My wife and I visited on a Wednesday for her birthday. We were warmly greated…read moreand seated immediately (we were a little early for our reservation). It's a pretty dark, steakhouse, vibe inside with old school Frank Sinatra-esque music in the background. The service level here was perfect, I love a place where the staff plays zone and if someone notices something then they cover it seamlessly. Nick was our server and took great care of us. we tried the following: Drinks - I had a dirty gin martini and my wife had a captain and diet (her go to) and both were perfectly mixed. Appetizers - We were really looking forward to the buratta appetizer, but it had just gone off menu, so we went with the goat cheese that replaced it, which was good (but I would cut down the number of sun-dried tomatoes by 1/3). My wife ordered the onion soup and really enjoyed it. Mains - My wife had the filet and said it was the best she has had in a long while. I am a sucker for lamb and wasn't feeling like a steak, so that is what I went with. Both were amazing and we both had mashed potatoes. Mine also came with carrots with a demi-glaze. Everything was delicious. Dessert - The restaurant was kind enough to serve my wife a complimentary dessert for her birthday. It was amazing, but we were so full we could only manage a few bites. Will definitely be back!!

It was an early seating 5:00. We were guided through a fairly empty dining room to the upstairs room. There was one couple already seated in an otherwise empty room. We were seated immediately next to them..... we may as well have been sitting at their table. I not only thought this strange but actually a bit rude. But, I did not make an objection. The food at this restaurant is always good and the wild game selection along with the specials are usually the good bets. In the past the wine list was more cost friendly but still not bad. My only criticism of the menu is the rather limited appetizer selection. Our entrees were very good but overall the experience was stilted by the poor judgement of the hostess serving us.

    Okay, Su Lago... we see you Just wow--across the board…read more The building itself is stunning, perfectly situated right on Lac La Belle Lake and serving up all the dreamy lake-country vibes. Inside, the décor is clearly intentional, with thoughtful details that make the space feel warm, elevated, and inviting. The service was outstanding. We had a fairly large group (around 10 people), and not once did anyone go without water, drinks, or a friendly check-in to make sure everything was perfect. Truly attentive without feeling overbearing. If you're an Italian food lover, this is absolutely the place. Pasta, bread, steak--they have it all, and nothing disappointed. And the cheese wheel?! You don't need a trip to Italy for that experience. Watching my son's noodles get coated in rich, melty cheese tableside was both delicious and memorable--an experience all on its own. Su Lago delivers on atmosphere, service, and food. We'll definitely be back.

It took 15 minutes for the server to come to us when we first got there and we were the only ones in the restaurant. We were going to get coffee and dessert, but we weren't going to wait any longer. It had been 20 minutes since she left with our dishes. The food was better the last time. We shared a the fig salad to start. They split it for us without asking if we wanted it split and then charged us for the split. My husband had the Raghu. It was fine, but nothing special not for that price. I had the sea bass. It was really salty. I was drinking iced tea and, when I ordered another one, I was informed that refills were not free. Seriously for the prices they charge, they need an extra $2.50? We were very disappointed. Will not be going back.
