We were in the Sheboygan area looking for a spot to picnic. We came across Kiwanis Park and were…read moredelighted to find a riverfront biergarten within the park. We were able to grab some beers (they had a particularly amazing schwarzbier that I was able to enjoy while dining on the picnic provisions we had brought. They have several picnic tables with beautiful views of the river and the willow trees on its banks. The space on the riverfront is spacious and uncovered. Adjacent, there is also a covered patio with tons of seating as well. They also had some cornhole set up for those wishing to partake. The outdoor, uncovered patio was graveled which kept the bugs at bay (one of my picnic companions later brought her camp chair to a nearby grassy area and her feet and ankles were bitten by flies). What an enjoyable spot! Get to it!

Super nice server and super nice locals (one guy even held the door for me as I successfully attempted to carry out 4 beers to the patio out front). Speaking of which, the patio out front was amazing. Nice chairs and umbrella'd tables with a fair amount of outdoor seating. If I am ever in Sheboygan again, I will hit this up again for their draft list selection alone.

I paid cash, got my change back and then asked for the receipt, and sure enough a 3% service fee. I realize its not much money, but it adds up, and they are stealing from their customers. That's some shady business practices.

Updating my review to rave about our recent service…read more Joined by my bestie and her husband who drove all the way from Denver to see us, my partner and I returned to The Blind Horse for a birthday dinner. My bestie is SEVERELY allergic to poultry and her husband was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease which means gluten is no good (even "cross contamination"). This makes finding a restaurant that can accommodate their needs a huge challenge. Our server went out of her way to talk to the chef and check things out. They were able to accommodate these specific diets and still beautifully create their entrees. It has been horrible to adjust life with Celiac, so when the food came out, I really thought there might be some tears of joy. ;) This gave us more reasons to come back! Thank you!

I made a reservation a week in advance for a Wednesday night 5 pm dinner. When we arrived, we were…read moreconfused on where to go. We saw there were little signs by the doors that tell you what building is what. Once inside, we were seated immediately. Our waitress got us drinks within a minute of sitting down. I think her name was Ella or Ellie- she was very good. Knew when to come over and when to not come over. I ordered the lobster cargot for an appetizer - it didn't have much taste so I would pass on this in the future. The corn chowder was amazing !!!! Very flavorful. My lobster ravioli had a very nice portion size and lots of extra lobster. Our bill for 2 people who each had two alcoholic beverages was $150 with the tip. Cute date night spot. The reason for the 4 star was the blackened snapper paella wasn't good. The fish was burnt not blackened. My friend took the bottom off because of how burnt it was.

Made a reservation for Mother's Day breakfast at Taverne on Woodlake. The restaurant opened at…read more11:00 AM and we had an 11:15 AM reservation. We arrived about 10 minutes early, checked in with the hostess, and were told that due to the volume of reservations they were seating strictly on schedule, so we were asked to wait at the bar. Fair enough. When I made the reservation, I had noted that they were offering a "make your own mimosa bar," which sounded like a nice touch for Mother's Day. My mom and I planned to participate, so I asked whether we could get a mimosa from the station while we waited and either pay for it immediately or add it to our final bill. We were told no -- that we had to wait until we were seated. That seemed unnecessarily rigid given that we were already checked in and simply waiting for our table. The mimosa bar itself was also underwhelming. The champagne was pre-poured into plastic flutes and sitting out getting warm, while the juice options (orange, pomegranate, and "strawberry shortcake?") were also sitting out and not kept on ice. Overall, it did not feel particularly fresh or elevated. One of the specials was the "pendulum pancake." While the presentation is certainly novel -- the pancakes arrive hanging from a stake, swinging above the plate -- the actual dish was disappointing. The pancakes were quite small, with sliced banana layered between them, and overall the presentation looked sparse and a little tragic rather than indulgent or impressive. The rest of the food we ordered was fine. I had the standard breakfast, my husband ordered the chicken sandwich, and my dad had the burger. Ironically, the real standout of the meal was the fries. They also had a DJ playing during brunch. I understand the atmosphere they were trying to create, but that aspect also fell a bit flat. There is a lot of potential for this to become a more curated and unique occasion-style brunch experience, but the execution currently does not fully support the concept.

Our server Dylan was excellent, and the rest of the staff kept our waters filled and dishes cleared. We tried the Vegetariano panini (fantastic) and the Lombardia pizza Bianca (also fantastic). Everything is clearly prepared with intention - the greens on top of the salad were perfectly dressed, and the veggies on the panini were chopped into small, uniform pieces so every bite was perfect. It was hard to decide what to order, so we will be back to work our way through the menu!

My boyfriend loves this spot, but I have no idea why. I have tried giving it a chance, but I wouldn't bring anyone here. I don't get why people like this spot. The ambiance is "nice" and the service is generally good, although all the servers are young and enjoy chatting with each other far more than doing their job. Deserts are the best part of the experience. Their pastas are also good, but at dinner you only have the option of the pasta special. Please do yourself a favor and go to Uptown Slice instead. They make way better pizza and are much less pretentious.
