We were warmly greeted by staff when we got here, got the camper set up and came in for some food and a tasting. They have a nice menu of appetizers, salads, flatbreads and sandwiches. We got the 3 dip combo which was salsa, buffalo chicken and a southwestern bean dip. They were all really good. We both had a wine tasting of 4 wines and ended up getting a bottle of the Lazy Days Itasca. It was a crisp white wine that was refreshing while sitting outside on the patio.

So, for the wine "purists" out there, remember, these are not necessarily like nice, earthy pinots, merlots or cabernets that you pour in a big glass and enjoy with dinner. More like light, sweeter pino grigios or rieslings. We drink them mostly like sweet dessert wines (think port) in small glasses after a meal or late in the evening. If you come at them from this perspective, you won't be disappointed as you might be if you went here looking for a conventional table wine. Great location, nice facilities, enjoyable wines and pretty good food. I had the Norwegian sandwich - VERY good.

A Perfect Spot for Family Gatherings!…read more Bella Blue Bottoms is an absolute gem! We recently hosted a family gathering of 24 people here--including a reception for our daughter and new son-in-law--and the experience was incredible. The property is spacious, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully designed. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax without feeling crowded. The kitchen and grilling areas made cooking for a large group easy, and the multiple living and dining areas gave us space to spread out and connect. There are so many unique and charming touches--like the converted chicken coop with its own kitchenette and sleeping area, and the peaceful duck pond that kept everyone entertained. In the evenings, the built-in tech setup allowed us to enjoy games and movies together. The value is unbeatable. For everything you get--space, amenities, and the warm hospitality of Jolene and Tony--this place is a steal. Several of our family members are already talking about coming back! If you're planning a group getaway or family event, Bella Blue Bottoms is a hidden treasure in Benton, WI. Highly recommend!

They spent A LOT of money to have their wedding there and were disrespectful all night and made everyone feel uncomfortable. The bartender refused to prioritize the bridal party for drinks, halting them from being able to take photos in a timely manner. They asked for a ton of money to only have one bartender on staff for a very large group of people, so there was a significant line for drinks all night. The security guard was creepily checking out the women all night while at the same time being incredibly rude and unprofessional. We had actual police officers in attendance as guests, and even they couldn't believe how Paul Blart was acting. He was overheard asking the bartender "when is this thing over, I don't get why these things last this long." When the bridal party went to do a check to collect the rest of their belongings before leaving for the night, he stated a bunch of them were "fooling around" in the basement. Someone who clearly has never been invited to a party or a wedding in their life should not be tasked with this. Not to mention he gets paid $300 to be there. Even pacing up on the stage staring everyone down while we ate dinner. You would think he would be more concerned with waiting by the entrance to ensure there weren't people going to be drinking and driving (his job) instead of ogling the women and treating/questioning all the guests, pulling them out from the dance floor to interrogate them like a wanna be cop. Pay 7k to this place if you want to be treated poorly and your guests to be treated poorly on the most important day of your life.

I waited a while to write this review because I wanted to be fair. If I had written it the day of…read morethe event it would have been 1 star. Given the time of further consideration, I think 3 stars is legit. Here's the deal: I attended a family wedding here earlier this summer. The bride & groom were radiant, their friends were ecstatic to participate in their nuptials & everyone in the family was thrilled this day had arrived. We were all eager to celebrate. The venue at The Court Above Main, meaning the large room where the wedding & reception took place, is gorgeous. With high ceilings & floor to ceiling windows there is plenty of natural light on a sunny afternoon. It's elegant & creates a lovely mood as the guests anticipate the blessed event. Finally, the moment arrives...the wedding was a delight. Soon after, pictures began & most of us were quickly scooted out of the wedding venue to a small outside ante-room which turned out to be the bar. There were about 120 guests. Thankfully, not the 150 expected, or this would have been even worse. That's 120 people all eager to get a drink at a small counter with 2 very nice, but obviously overwhelmed, bartenders. Once everyone had their drinks we were all stuck in this ante-room where there were a few tall tables & at most, 8 places to sit. It was a hot summer day & this room didn't have enough air conditioning. Everyone was sweating, there was practically no place to sit, there was barely room to stand, and not a bite to nibble on. (I realize that may have been an error made by the wedding couple in terms of not considering appetizers of any kind. However, what legitimate venue purporting to provide exceptional wedding services would allow an oversight like this without being sure the wedding couple seriously understood the importance of something to eat while drinking alcohol?). We were stuck in this situation for more than 2 hours! That's how long it took the room where the wedding occurred to be transitioned with tables & chairs for the dinner. Yup, 2 hours of being too hot, with aching feet, and no place to escape. Being a wedding, there were several elderly family members in attendance who were able to snag the few available chairs. But not everyone. So finally, people started trying to go in the main room where the tables & chairs were being set up & where it was much cooler because the AC worked almost too well. Those who tried got yelled at! That's hardly a welcoming vibe. The reason this transition took so long is because there were only 2 people on staff doing all the work. I have a good friend who manages wedding events & when I told him about this wedding, he said they always have a minimum staff of 5 for this number of people so they can ensure the transition happens in no more than 20 minutes. Now that seems reasonable. Once we were finally seated for dinner, the same 2 people were the only ones both serving & clearing. They were nice enough, but it all took way too long. I've gone on long enough. I'll finish by saying with this size venue & their limited staffing, I'm sure it could be a lovely wedding for 50 people, 75 at the most. Otherwise, it's simply not a large enough space, at least for the drinking portion of the event. And you'd be smart to insist there are a minimum of 4 staff to handle transitions & serving. Also insist there are enough tables & chairs in the bar area.

I was a wedding guest here in September. The venue itself is great, a cool cocktail room, and the…read moremain reception are is also nice. It's on the smaller side, so don't expect to have 150+ people and be comfortable, but for the clientele it serves, it's a great option. My frustration is with one of the bartenders. I ordered an old fashioned, a fairly common drink for most wedding-goers. The bartender made the drink, placed it in front of me, and said that it would be an extra $2 because "it's all alcohol, compared to other drinks." He caught me off guard, seeing as everything else other than top-shelf liquor is included in an open-bar package. The drink wasn't made with premium whiskey anyhow, unless Jack Daniels is considered premium in this neck of the woods. Anyways, if they're going to stiffarm you for an extra $2 here and there, so be it. But, to make your drink, set it down in front of you, and then ask for extra money, that's just unprofessional. Be upfront about it. The drink would've been better served tossed in his face, as his bartending skills were more insulting than anything.
