10. Jake's Restaurant

Unfortunately it appears Jake's has gone downhill. The food overall was very salty. The service was slow...maybe the waiter forgot to put in our order but other guests that came in after us were served first. They used to include a salad and a side and now you get a salad or two sides. So since I took the salad and a baked potato was an additional $4.50. The steak was slightly over cooked. We were seated in a side room with 2 low hanging lights that several customers hit their head on while we were there and the waiter was ducking around. Maybe they are cutting back on staff because our waiter was also bussing tables and refilling water. For the price unfortunately there are better restaurants out there. I won't be rushing back to Jake's and it used to be one of our favorite restaurants.

After an arduous and long day of travel i ended in Waukesha. The hotel restaurant was closed and they recommended Taylorâs. The bar tender was great and friendly. He poured me a nice drink and gave me a food menu. I tried the crab Rangoon spring rolls; awesome! I also got the grilled cheese to go with the cucumber salad side. The salad was unexpectedly wonderful. The grilled cheese perfectly toasted.

Not ever being in this part of the country before I wasnât sure what to expect. I automatically think good food is only in big cities. I am sure you can tell by now that I was very narrow minded in this case! We started our meal with an or of Saganaki which is brown delicious cheese that is served flaming along with pita wedges. Next up was a salad and soup for some of and they were good, not amazing. Then came our entrees, we ordered the crab cakes, and the Louie steaks. Each fillet came out cooked to perfection and topped with a wonderful compound butter. I donât think I have ever eaten a better steak!! The portions tremendous, so order accordingly or take it home and be happy again the next day! We picked a chocolate mousse for dessert and it was creamy and rich!! A perfect, yet very rich ending to a great meal.

You can't help but become a regular after you dine here once. The atmosphere and great service compliment the amazing menu. I have yet to try something here I did not like. Their wine list never disappoints and it is well worth the drive out to Lake Country if you aren't from the area. So happy we have this local gem!Lisa,Thank you so much for the 5 star review and kind words! We are thrilled to hear you loved all your meals and the wine list as well!We hope to see you again soon!

We have been avoiding this place as I believe sharing places usually charge too much for too little. But friends wanted to go here so we did. They don't accept reservations so we wound up sitting at the bar even though we were there by 5:30, much earlier than we usually eat. I get the sharing thing to try different items, but the portions are so small that you don't get much more than a few bites of each item. The ahi and scallops were good, but we found the short ribs to be dry and chewy while the chicken and duck thighs came whole which made cutting them into sharing pieces to be a challenge.Even with getting a tostada each to start and 4 dishes for 4 people, we didn't have anything left over.

Host was very nice. Extremely helpful. But he was the only one. Waiter AJ was slow, not engaged. Brought cold fries and beans with the ribs. Once served never asked how it was going. Place was filthy. Got pie to go asked three times for plastic ware as we are staying in a hotel. He never checked. Paid the bill and nice young man as the host had done no problem.I'm sorry to hear that your experience wasn't up to expectations; however, please know that I will be forwarding along your comments to our management team for review. Thank you for your feedback.

The beet salad was delicious. Best one Iâve ever had. But The restaurant is a little pricey in my opinion. Staff was very nice, informative and efficient. They have a nice selection of beer, wine and specialty drinks. Everyone enjoyed the evening and the experience.

5 of us went out to celebrate a 60th birthday of a friend. This was a new experience for all of us...and the birthday boy likes supper clubs. The restaurant itself was quite quaint and over all the food was good, however some of the menu selections for dinner left me a bit up in the air. I was looking for a steak, and there were limited choices. The tenderloin intrigued me, however it was only offered with shrimp and scallops and I have a shellfish allergy. I was offered a tenderloin sandwich...there are no other options. So I went totally into left field with grandma's fried chicken. Well let me tell you ...grandma must have died of high cholesterol because the half chicken on my plate had at least a 1/4 inch of breading fried onto it and the grease flowed out onto my plate when I pulled the skin back. The chicken itself was moist but I am not sure it was 100% cooked. The rest of our party ordered the specials for Saturday and they were pleased with their meals so all was not lost. It was a 60th birthday celebration and we mentioned that several times-no cake was ever offered...not a game changer but most places will offer that.

Our family met at this beautiful restaurant for lunch on the patio. It was a beautiful day to be outside and with family. Unfortunately the wait staff left a lot to be desired. First we had to ask for menus...no, not everyone is there for the all you can eat Buffett. When asking what kind of hot tea was available, the waitress said..."oh I don't know, there is a while variety in a box." Hmmm...how about..."I'll bring out a box with a variety of teas for you."Waiting another 10-15 minutes, she finally comes back to take our order. Brings our drinks and meals...no problem except we have no silverware. Well, that took another 10-15 minutes by which time my brother-in-law finally had gotten up to get some eatting utensils for all of us. My sister in law has dietary restrictions so she asked what the sauce was made out of that came with her meal...no one seemed to know if it had any dairy in it...they would have to ask the chef...but he wasn't there! What?Next, a customer at a neighboring table asked there server a question to which he responded..."oh I'm out the door I'll pass that along to whoever is taking over. Really?It's unfortunate...it's a nice place and the food is fine. Probably won't go back for a while.Happytravelers80123, thank you for dining with us and taking the time to provide feedback regarding your experience.

There are times when one doesn't want to review a restaurant for fear that people will read one's review and flock to the place making it harder to find a seat. Thus is the story of Doc's. A very small place...a few tables...a bar...and the best darn pizza around. We were tipped off by a friend to try Doc's, saying he would pay for the trip if we didn't enjoy the food. A pretty safe tip. Our sausage , mushroom, and black olive 14" pizza was more than enough for two people (we took a third home). So delicious, it makes my mouth water just writing this review. And the beer was cold...served in a frosted glass. This is our new go to place for pizza. A little out of the way, but worth the trip. The unfortunate thing for us, is we just gave up our boat on Pewaukee Lake, otherwise their dock would have been very convenient for us. Well, driving there in the convertible will have to do.This is one of my top 3 favorite reviews of all time. Thank you very much. Next time you come in, please ask if Josh is around.Thanks again!!
