Heading south from Sheboygan with my family I had a craving for ice cream, so I pulled up the…read moreoptions around Port Washington. The "best" local place that was open in January was The Chocolate Chisel. My family and I stopped and each got a cone. I also got three truffles. The truffles I bought were chai tea milk, experimint milk (ganache with peppermint extract), and peppermint hot chocolate. The chai tea and experimint milk truffles both tasted like they should based on their descriptions, but I wouldn't wantto buy either again. The peppermint hot chocolate had some crushed peppermint on top, but other than the chocolate being in the shape of a mug, nothing about it reminded me of hot chocolate. Ultimately I don't think any of them were worth the price. The ice cream was lackluster. Both of my kids got cookies and cream in a cake cone and thought it was skimpy on the cookies part. My wife and I sprung for waffle cones with ours and were both disappointed in the excessive cone to ice cream ratio that heavily favored the cone. She got plain chocolate and it was fine. I, however, got banana-rama and ended up throwing it out because it tasted more like butter pecan than anything banana related. I even went back inside and verified with the employee that it wasn't mislabeled in the case.

Both the pastries were fluffy, flavorful, with a balanced amount of almond and sugar (almond croissant) and a thick bar of chocolate (pain au chocolat).

The service was very good, and everything was served hot. The problem I have is the price for everything. Long before prices of food got crazy, this place raised their prices to the point that it was not enjoyable eating there. Italian food is by its' very nature is low priced. Noodles and marinara are just not that expensive. We just decided to stay away due to the prices.

I'd been telling my out of town family how good the poutine was for ages. Well, come to find out, the food that made them so popular in the area is no longer on the menu. We got smash burgers which were fabulous, but there is nothing quite like the Wisconsin Poutine they served, or the original. Heck, for ages, they offered monthly specialty poutines. That disappeared first. Hope someone sees the light and brings it back. And no, the cheese fries with brat coins and BBQ sauce is not the same thing. It doesn't even pretend to be the same.

The staff was friendly and helpful - we were kinda lost when we walked into the back room of a restaurant we'd been to before, and they had a self-ordering station set up. The sandwiches themselves were great! Simple, but piled with high quality shaved meat on a tasty sesame sandwich bun (unexpected but it works). I think you're better off getting food to go, as the seating area is very small, but they've done a good job of making it welcoming. The tables aren't on top of each other, there's a TV so you don't feel trapped in a basement, and hey, you can always walk through the curtain and get a drink at the bar!

You walk through an alley and it feels kind of like a speakeasy sub spot. You walk into the "basement" and are pleasantly surprised that this is a cute little dining area, not your typical sub spot. You order at the screen in front and subs are brought to your table when they are ready. (Freaky fast! Better than jimmy johns!). We got the Irish baby (corned beef - served cold, which was a delightful surprise. It was not heavy or too fatty like corned beef can be sometimes, it was really just right) and the turkey baby. We liked them both with some giardinara and the oils form the giardinara added. They were a good size, didn't skimp on the meat (I couldn't even finish mine, but my husband literally licked his plate clean). Service was very friendly and helpful. We walked through the restaurant it is connected to and that also looks like a cool spot, we will definitely be back for both places!
