We attended the wine event last night and’s was astounded at the quality of the food paired specifically for each glass of wine. 🍷 We were so impressed by the food and the staff were all rock stars!!!

My husband and I travel often and just happened to stop in while in Wausau. The service was outstanding, food delicious, and the atmosphere just what we were looking for. The lobster risotto was tasty, and the umami burger was the best burger either of us have ever had. If you’re in town and looking for good food in a relaxing environment this is the place for you
