    I've eaten at Beckets several times and the food In consistently great…read more I had a party of 5 everyone was very pleased. I visit every time I'm in area and never disappoint.

    We stopped at Becket's after Oshkosh, expecting a nice meal to cap off a great trip. Instead, we…read moreaccidentally participated in what felt like a live kitchen stress test. First, the good news: the atmosphere is beautiful, and our server, Marcus, deserves a raise. He was friendly, attentive, and handled a table full of increasingly confused diners with remarkable professionalism. None of what follows is on him. Now for the food. The mac and cheese was mostly mac with only a passing acquaintance with cheese. My mom ordered the halibut, and I'm fairly certain the chef mistook the salt shaker for a seasoning suggestion rather than a serving size. It was so aggressively salty that we asked Marcus to taste a bite from the untouched side because we honestly thought maybe we were crazy. He took one bite, his face instantly said, "Oh no," and he apologized before offering to replace it. Since the rest of us had already finished eating, my mom just asked for a salad. Somehow... that was worse. The blue cheese dressing tasted like blue cheese that had filed for retirement weeks ago. Vinegary, strange, and just plain off. My half chicken was the smallest half chicken I've ever seen. I'm still trying to figure out what happened to the other half of the half. It was cooked fine, but "not ruining chicken" isn't exactly a culinary achievement. My brother's prime rib was... okay. Not memorable, not offensive--just existing. The cocktails joined the theme. We sent two back because they simply weren't good and switched to beer. Thankfully, whoever made the beer knew what they were doing. I completely understand that every restaurant can have an off night. But when the mac and cheese has no cheese, the fish is inedible from salt, the replacement salad tastes questionable, the cocktails get sent back, and the rest of the food is merely surviving, it's hard to chalk it up to bad luck. Five stars for Marcus. One star for the kitchen. If those two teams ever get on the same page, this place could be excellent. **Update:** I want to give credit where it's due. After my wife posted her review on Google, the owner responded very thoughtfully and acknowledged that our table clearly did not receive the attention it should have. We never asked for a refund, and I wasn't expecting anything, but the restaurant refunded the bill and made sure our waiter was still compensated. That doesn't change the fact that the food and drinks that night were really disappointing, but it does say something positive about the ownership. Mistakes happen, rough nights happen, and I appreciate a business that takes responsibility instead of getting defensive. Marcus was excellent, and the owner's response was classy. I hope our visit really was just a bad night, because the way they handled it afterward deserves credit.

    The overall experience is pretty good, but I don't think I would consider anything exceptional. The…read moreservice was very friendly. A few things to note, their cocktail menu is amusing because their specialty drinks mostly seem to be five different standard recipes with slightly different preparations to turn them into Mojitos or spritzes or margaritas. Do you want something with blueberries? Pick your preparation. All of them are too sweet. Their peanut butter crème brûlée was tasty, but doesn't really qualify as a crème brûlée. It was basically a runny, peanut butter flavored almost pudding. Their pizzas were really good though. Frankly, I was most surprised by the ambience. For a place that looks so big from the outside. It seemed really cramped inside I walked around all of the seating areas and it was the same everywhere. While they bill themselves as being on the water, you really can't see the water from any seat in the house from what I observed, even if you're out on the deck, which is terribly uncomfortable in July. We actually were seated at possibly the worst table in the house. In a back corner behind the first floor bar next to a window that only showed you the backside of another building and a sliver of grass. The upstairs seating is truly undesirable because they've converted an area that wasn't meant to have tables in. It is super cramped up there and also everywhere on the first floor. The only place with a little bit of elbow room is the deck. You know a place is to cramped when the servers have to negotiate moving between tables to avoid patrons and other servers.

    The waterfront location is definitely the biggest draw here. Sitting outside overlooking the harbor…read moremakes for a really nice setting, especially during the summer. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to the view. We tried the nachos, mahi tacos and drinks, and while everything was fine, nothing really stood out. The flavors were what you'd expect from a lakeside bar. Service was very friendly, but overall the experience felt more like you're paying for the location than the food itself. I'd come back for a drink on the patio, but probably not for dinner.
