    Cheeseburger with jalepeno bacon
    Jennifer M.

    We visited here recently for our first time. We were a little skeptical after reading some of the reviews from about a year ago, however, we were pleasantly surprised with the entire meal. The servers were attentive and friendly and the food was really good. We ordered wine/beer (decent pricing and pour), kids meals, a ruben, salad, and cheeseburger with jalepeno bacon. All of the food was really good. They served locally made pretzel bread before the meal with flavored butter which tasted like honey mustard. Based on previous reviews, it seems like the place is working to improve their food and service. I am holding off on the 5th star to see the menu expand over time. Perhaps they are focusing on improving from where they were a year ago. I would suggest adding a wider/more unique selection of foods for people that want something a little different, such as the honey mustard butter they serve. Ambiance is great and the kids enjoyed their meals (kid and adult menu items) as well. It certainly didn't hurt that the kids were able to leave the dining room and walk out to their giant playdium with a huge selection of video games, basketball shoot hoops, pinball machines, and other fun games for kids. Depending on the evening, this room is staffed by an adult and you can pay for unlimited play for your children to play in the room while you dine. Or they can have their own meal served in there if you prefer to have them play while you dine alone. The options are pretty wide, but it's close enough that your children aren't far, but not so close that you hear the noise of kids/video games. I also appreciated that the room looked and felt clean. Definitely a far cry from some of those other 'kid game pizza places' where the rooms are sweaty and germy feeling. This is very different, in that it's clean, well staffed, and all the games are included after paying a low fee to get unlimited play. I would suggest this for couples that want to go out and let their kids play while they dine/socialize with their friends. We are looking forward to returning.

    Beef tenderloin (great), pork belly (very tender, juicy but polenta bed is a bit bland), pheasant on quiche (good, but greasy).

    This place has pretty solid food that's expertly presented to look good. However, it's overpriced compared to what you can get for the price at other restaurants. I like their idea of "flights," where you order three small plates (and a $6 discount) because it allows you to sample multiple plates. But it's expensive! We paid $100 (including tip) for two flights with one beer and one glass of wine. We don't eat a lot in general, but even after all three courses, we were just full, not stuffed. We had room for dessert, but the server never asked or offer a dessert menu. I noticed the Journal Sentinel's food critic said in a spring 2013 review that it's their weak spot - I wonder if they even have dessert menu. As far as the main dishes, the small beef tenderloin plate was the best. I also thought the duck breast was fairly good, but it could have been more tender. I liked the pork but the quiche was on the greasy side. My scallops were simply horrible. They were so soaked in garlic that I had to wash down every bite with a drink of water - even though the menu didn't even mention there'd be garlic in that dish. It was about $15 for two jumbo scallops. Beware, the menu they keep online was not the same as what they actually serve in the restaurant. We were planning to try certain dishes, but several weren't offered once we got there. The small loaves that they serve while you wait for your food comes with a tasty herb butter. The atmosphere is nice and easily allows you to have a conversation. But all in all: It's good, but there are probably places that provide better value for your money.

    There's a dead fly in the middle of the picture!!

    I can't even explain my displeasure with this place. No apology either after an email sent by me. The Aftermath is just as bad. I feel terrible for my wife, she was the one who had the fly in her mouth.

    Good Night Kiss dessert! Presentation is AWESOME and the taste is even better! !

    The buffet is amazing! I am sad that they no longer give unlimited mimosas, but I can't be too greedy! The lox and bagels is so fresh!

    Visited with a group of girlfriends to celebrate birthdays and the start of girls weekend and…read morequickly learned the rave reviews were true. Start to finish, we had a fantastic dinner. We tried multiple different cocktails, and loved each one. We all enjoyed our dinner entrees, which were beautifully plated. The service was top notch, even offering to take photos for us to remember our fun evening. Their menu appears to rotate often and is somewhat limited, so make sure to check the menu before you go if you are someone with specific food interests. We found the menu to offer multiple things each of us would enjoy. We can't wait to visit again!

The vibe is on point, low lighting, rustic - a versatile spot to go with girlfriends or for a date night. The wait staff is always attentive and informational, providing suggestions when we are looking for guidance on what to choose. This time around I went with a girlfriend and we decided to share a couple apps and an entre. We started with their seasonal burrata that was bursting with flavor. It was both savory and citrusy, a really nice compliment. We did have to order a side of bread with it, so that's one improvement the restaurant could make - bread is a necessity with a cheese dish! Next up we ordered their Mixed Greens Salad which was a perfect light & tangy salad with a little bit of sweetness. Highly recommend. Finally, we shared the seared walleye entree. I pretty much order fish everytime I come here because they cook it to perfection and it's something I can't make at home as easily. The walleye did not disappoint and was so flavorful and enough food for us to share. We ordered the perfect amount to split between the 2 of us. Can't wait to go back, keep up the good work!

    This is my favorite fish fry. The beer batter is perfect.. great flavor, crispy, and not too thick…read more The grilled is also always a great option. I love the little potato pancakes or subbing for a side salad.

    I gave my wife a choice of two places we could try in the Cedarburg/Grafton area on a Friday night…read moreand C. Wiesler's Saloon was the one she picked. I got the beer battered haddock with potato pancakes and both my wife and kids all got plain cheeseburgers with fries. We also shared mozzarella sticks and cheese curds. The mozzarella sticks are generic and taste like the kind you can get from Arby's or Walmart's hot deli bar. The cheese curds were also generic, but good. Both are cheap price wise compared to other restaurants, but you subsequently don't get a ton of curds given the low price. Six mozzarella sticks wasn't unreasonable. The cheeseburger was ok. It didn't have much, if any, seasoning, but at least had some char flavor. The fries weren't very crispy and were both bland and unsalted. The beer battered haddock (which I sadly forgot to take a picture of) only had two pieces for $15 and was some of the most disappointing fish I've had. I didn't care for the flavor of the breading and it was overcooked, so the breading was slightly burned and the fish was dry. The potato pancakes consisted of five or six small hashbrown circles. Though small, they were good. They were quite busy inside while we were there, so it took about 45 minutes to get our appetizers and an hour to get our entrees. The patio area is nice and offers shade in the evening. It was a cool night temperature wise, so a pleasant experience during our long wait. The inside was loud and the dining area isn't huge so I'm glad we sat outside.

    This is such a fun, vibrant spot hidden at the end of the Cedarburg trip! I love taking friends…read morehere that are visiting from out of town, you get to experience both the historical, Gilmore Girls-esque vibe that we all love, as well as a more funky craft spot. One thing that's great about this spot is that they offer all of their drinks as 0 ABV so it makes it super easy and enjoyable for those who are not drinking to still feel catered to and can enjoy a fancy beverage - however I will note that they are as pricey as the cocktails since they use a fancy alcohol in the drinks that is zero proof! Service is super easy ordering at the counter indoors and you can peruse and look at all of the cute curated items, books & records while you wait. The outdoor seating is ample and lovely with their giant striped umbrellas and blue Adirondack chairs as well as other seating options - and fire pits for when the weather turns chilly! Overall love this spot and will continue to pop in when we have the chance.

Man have I been missing out…read more My friend and I are cohosts for One of a Kind Milwaukee a podcast and we celebrated our one year anniversary at Art of Joy with family and friends.

The drinks are all so fun and what's so great is they all can be made zero proof! Plus it's kid friendly as well and most nights they even have some type of entertainment. Our server was amazing! The decor is adorable. Needless to say will definitely be making the 30 minute drive more often.
