    The food is good. The southern dip is the best and I would say it's a very nice place to eat dinner…read moreor lunch, but it's pricey.

An ominous start....before arriving we wondered if it was even worth it ...It was!! After finally arriving we were quickly greeted and seated. Our server Angelica brought menus and took our drink orders promptly. The menu was quite impressive, many different choices and priced quite reasonably. My lovely bride ordered the Whiskey Ranch Chicken Sandwich w/waffle fries and for myself the Slow Smoked BBQ Beef Brisket that came with two sides and a salad. I chose waffle fries and mac and cheese. My bride called dibs on my salad with thousand island dressing. The side salad was a more than generous size with fresh greens and a very tasty salad dressing. After an appropriate amount of time the entrees arrived hot, fresh and more than generous proportions. Seeing that, we asked Angelica for carry out containers ahead of time in attempt to portion control. It was a good thing we did. My wife loved her Whisky Ranch Sandwich that came with Jack Daniel's glaze, bacon, lettuce, tomato onion, onion straws along with waffle fries as a side. The smoked beef brisket had the right amount of being smoked, not overpowering, a drizzle of bbq sauce, garlic bread and amazing waffle fries. I have to mention the brisket was so tender and was able to be cut with a fork. Angelica was an amazing server, excellent food at a more than reasonable price. I normally post a receipt, but the serving size and food quality and value was simply amazing. It was a good thing we had to park several blocks away, we definitely need the walk back to the car to burn off some calories. Kudos to Whiskey Ranch Bar and Grill for such an unexpected great meal.....also to Angelica for amazing service too.

We had a fantastic charcuterie board and the four of us did wine flights picking out the particular wines we wanted to try. Jason, the owner came around and told us a bit about the history of the place which was very interesting and AsHLEY was our server and she was fantastic.! Highly recommend checking this place out!

The winery has many varieties of wine and a membership program which is very reasonable. Staff is upbeat and friendly, It is located in a historic building which is super cute! We did the ""super tasting" which was a very small taste of every one of their wines. The gentleman that walked us through the experience was fun and made it really enjoyable. I was there with a friend but others participated in the tasting as well and they were a fun group! They serve food (sandwiches, flat bread pizza) and have charcuterie boards for purchase as well. We did a cranberry chicken sandwich and a pretzel cheese plate. Both were very good! Besides wine they had canned items and cheese/sausage on sale as well. I will be back to check out the new experiences too!

    My wife and I enjoy trying new places and this spot came up when we were picking out a place for an…read moreanniversary dinner. I think we were a little surprised to find it inside a hotel, but that's what you get for casting a wide net the only looks at yelp reviews. Nonetheless, it's a nice ambiance, although very quiet and small. There's maybe a dozen tables and a small bar. It was mostly empty on a Thursday night when we were there. We personally enjoy the quietness of the setting though! If you're looking for more of an upscale ambiance, this probably isn't the place accordingly. I think the quality of the food probably punches above its ambiance weight class though. My wife ordered a steak and for the area, I'd say it was seasoned and cooked better than most. My beef bolognese was alright, but not the best Italian dish I've had in the area. We also tried the Brussel sprouts and they didn't do it for us. They were steamed with a shredded parm and I probably would have preferred a baked/balsamic rendition better. The alligator on the other hand was a dish worth coming and trying though, the sauces paired very well-my only quibble was that it seemed like their fryer oil needed to be replaced as there was a very subtle aftertaste of burnt oil. They also offer you a free desert if you're out celebrating, which was a really nice gesture in our opinion. Overall the service and food were above average. The ambiance and price left something to be desired. In general I would recommend this place to someone who maybe hasn't traveled as much but wants to get an upscale steakhouse feel in the Janesville area. If you only have one night in the Stateline area I'd personally direct you someplace else to try to blow your socks off.

    When we arrived the dinning room was empty. It was my husbands birthday. They asked if we had a…read morereservation, we did. We were than seated in dinning room. They didn't have the ingredients for the appetizer we wanted, so we skipped that. We ordered ribeye and pawns. The steak was tough and chewy, we sent it back. The pawns were under cooked. An employee came out and showed us a very nice steak that they offered to cook for my husband. We declined, by than we had soured on this place. Why couldn't they have cooked that one in the first place! We won't be back! A side note, a few couples came in for dinner but because they they didn't have reservations they were seated in the bar even though dining room was empty except for us.
