    Went here last Monday only to face extreme disappointment. I was ready to get all my favorites from here and drop a cool $200.00. Instead this is the putrid menu we were given. Now keep in mind we were there for dinner, and got handed a lunch menu with shrimp and fish dinners adde. Really!!!? Who wants a wrap or burger for dinner? Not me! And check out the pirce for add ons to your burger! A dollar for mayo? Laughable. We paid for our drinks and walked out. I have been a patron of The Dam since day one and have watched it go down hill. This is the 4th time I have brought guests here and the 4th time to walk out. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

    Buffalo wings
    Bill M.

    Menu changed from last time I was here. That's a good thing. Was wondering if Bobby Flay was hired as the chef. Went with a group of 10 and everyone was blown away with the food. The wings were excellent! I had a flatbread that was delish. Truly a hidden gem.

    First flight of Martinis!

    Martinis are amazing! The selection is unbelievable- so many to try so little time! Will definitely be back!!

    Blackened Perch
    Chris M.

    Discovered this place and finally made it today. The wait staff was very attentive. The beef couscous soup was delicious. I had the blackened perch which was good with delicious grilled green beans. My husband had the Cajun Chicken Pasta which he seemed to enjoy. No real complaints, maybe prices a little high for the area.

    This place use to be great until they got rid of the original cook. Now it's a bland, Way overpriced shell of its original self.

    Chicken wings were tasty and the Bloody Mary was a special treat! Sat on the patio and enjoyed the fresh air.

    We went there for the crab legs. They were ok. Bartender/service was efficient and friendly. Ate outside, not too clean.

    Not sure why this place isn't 4 stars. It's situated right across the street from the lake - so if…read moreyou're into outdoor dining with lake views and beautiful lighting then this is your place. But let's get to the food. Also I've only been here once but we'll be going back. We started off with a mixed drink for the lady which she had two and thought they were incredible. And I had an IPA from one of the craft brewers they have - lots of good choices here. We started off with an appetizer of the fried filet Mignon. We had mixed reviews but I would skip it - over priced and the breading was too heavy (wish they'd put the steak on a skewer with Greek seasoning) As for the entrees I was highly impressed with the "industrial" sandwich. The steak on it was almost like Philly steak and flavored great and the toppings and condiments worked really well with it - the fries were fries - they worked. We also had the margarita pizza and it was flavorful - the touches of pestos made it speak! Anyways - great spot so far!

    Parking lot a bit rough (loose, muddy gravel). Entrance clean. Sunday football afternoon…read more Revelers in full response to games on several TVs. This place can use an infusion of customer service standards. Before discussing food, I need to explain. 4 of us for lunch. Waitress opted NOT to write down our orders but commit to memory. Yikes. You know at that point your order will not be 100% and her return twice to clarify the orders. I ordered the house premier 1/3 pound burger. Menu says Waygu. Doubt it. My burger was cool, fries cold and lacked flavor.Three strikes. Apps were table shared onion rings and cheese curds. No rave on any of it. Great place, simply needs a tune up that I feel would start with training customer service. Hot food should be served hot. Our server was "in a hurry" but not observed waiting other tables. Between apps and meal, we elected to stack dirty plates on adjacent tables. Other tables that were vacated by previous guests had dirty dishes left on. All could be understood / realized if the place was packed and the servers overworked, not the case here. We again will try this place out but I know to specify how I want my service.

I and a few other family members were invited by my mother and by the time I walked out, I was wondering why this place wasn't packed wall‑to‑wall every night. Let's start with Monday's AYCE perch -- absolutely outstanding. Lightly breaded, perfectly seasoned, and fried just right. It's the kind of perch that makes you rethink every mediocre fish fry your uncle threw that your family tolerated. If you're a perch person, this is your new weekly ritual. Then came the walleye, WATCH OUT NOW, and honestly, my sister wasn't prepared. She said it was flaky, flavorful, and cooked with the kind of herbs & spices she recognized that said, "Yeah, we know exactly what the hell we're doing." "It's the kind of fish that makes you pause mid‑bite and appreciate life for a second." But the real surprise of the night? The bacon, mushroom, and American cheese hamburger -- unforgettable. This thing deserves its own billboard. Juicy, stacked, and unapologetically delicious. Every bite felt like a small celebration. On top of all that, the place is spotless. I mean impressively clean. Floors, tables, bar area -- everything looked like someone had just finished polishing it. You can tell the staff takes pride in the space. And speaking of the space... Yes, the building once housed a gentleman's club. But now? It's so clean, so friendly, and so well‑run that the only thing dancing is your taste buds. The only thing exotic here is how good the food is. Pivot Lounge has officially earned a spot on my "must return" list. Great food, great service, great atmosphere -- and a glow‑up story worthy of its own documentary.

I didn't want to be disappointed in this place so I just ordered a BYO burger. It was cooked well and I ordered medium. Still pretty good. Rest of my party said their entree's were ok. The pork chop had a different flavor we didn't like. Garlic mashed potatoes were just ok. I believe this place has a dish I'll love so I'll try again. Service was very good considering it was busy
