    I can see the charm of the river domes, but we had to make a reservation to get one and there was…read moreno one else in any of the other ones when we were there. In fact, at 7 pm on a Thursday, there wasn't even a dozen people in the restaurant to begin with. Everything was decorated for Valentine's Day which was a cute addition. The domes are also heated which made things nice, but you can't really see the river which is the point of the domes. Additionally, our server didn't really check on us and it took a while to get the condiments missing when the food arrived. We ordered a variety of items with the ny strip being the best of what we tried. The au jus was rather bland, the fries were crispy but had no flavor, the fish was quickly soggy due to all the oil not being drained. We added on hush puppies to the fish and chips.... $5 for 5 hush puppies. Would not suggest doing that, not worth the up charge. There is an eclectic mix of things on the menu but nothing that would lead me to recommend someone to try this place. The beer selection was great however so if you are looking for a place to grab a drink, the tap room feels like a great option. The restaurant however is more for vibes than a quality meal.

    This is normally one of our favorite restaurants, but during holidays and special events, they…read moremodify the food they normally provide with cheaper options. We ordered over Fourth of July weekend and the fries we received were soggy crinkle cut fries. Nothing like what they normally serve. Last year during EAA we took family members from out of town after talking about how good the food was, only to be served nasty frozen hamburger patties. It was nothing like what they normally serve, and I felt bad for talking this place up only to have it be completely subpar. I understand during busy times that a restaurant's service can suffer, but to provide cheap replacements to cut back on their costs is completely unacceptable.

    We always go to the Ruby Owl when we are in town for our annual conference. It's amazing how they…read morealways accommodate all of us, often without warning! It's the closest restaurant to the convention center so everyone happens to walk there for our lunch and we fill the place up and are all back in time for the afternoon session. Great food, burger was a little too done though when I asked for medium rare. Great beer selection as well. I love the sun drop! I enjoy sitting at the bar and watching the sports for my lunch break.

    For starters this place is located in the quaint downtown Oshkosh, WI. The inside is nice / cool…read morewith brick walls and a good gastropub/bar and grill feel. Service was good, no complaints. The food, however, very subpar. First was the Flat Iron Steak Sandwich. Basically, a French Dip. Looked promising but the steak was cut thick and very tough. Flavor was fine but chewy. Next was the Pig & Fig sandwich. Reports were good and positive. Last was the special "Fresh Lake Michigan Perch". This was not good. It was over cooked and tasted like it was fried in last week's oil. One bite was enough. Burnt taste and very dry. Our server was very apologetic, offered something else and took it off our bill. There are plenty of other places on Main Street. I'd try somewhere else. BTW - Dockside Tavern, nearby, was very cool & good. All with a lakefront view.
