We got pizza to go and it was very good. I'm typically not a fan of thinner, hand tossed crust but it was very good as was the sauce. We had a supreme pizza and it was a little weak on toppings (they were out of mushrooms!) but still very good. Also, very courteous employees.

Great atmosphere! Came out to enjoy live music on a Friday night and loved how people were so into it â it made for a really fun vibe! We were greeted at our table in the bar area within a minute of sitting down; service was fast and friendly throughout. Just ordered fries and drinks and both were tasty. We are definitely planning to come back to eat a full meal and check out the patio.

The City Grill is where you can get a good steak but don't need to dress up to eat it. Housed in the beautiful downtown Wausau, it's a revolving door of locals seeking fine dining in a trendy atmosphere decorated in local art. The City Grill hosts live mu

Came here on a Saturday afternoon. Started out at the bar for a couple of drinks and the bruschetta. This is the best bruschetta we've ever had. Finally made it to the dining room after hanging out at the bar. Logan, our server, greeted us promptly and was a good server throughout the meal. They have really good brewed iced tea here and Logan refilled my drink before I had to ask. I had the Saturday night prime rib special with mushrooms and mashed potatoes. The meal was good. My sister had the scallops and risotto and she liked her meal, too. It also came with a good bread and unique bread spread. We had the house salad as well which was good. Would definitely come back.

The service is extremely friendly and helpful. The recommendations were spot on. Due to the proximity of the Marriott (next door) I dined here two days in a row. It was delicious both meals. Of course we sampled the cheese curds pursuant to Wisconsin law. I normally am a meat & spud guy but had a Cobb salad. It was good and huge. The following day I had a garbage burger---not the name (it had everything on it) and it was very good. Good experience all the way around.

The theme of this restaurant made you feel like you were really inside of a coal mine. There are sections that you go through like tunnels leading to another room for dining. Very clever approach to making customers feel in a completely new environment. It truly reminded me of being on vacation in pigeon forge Tennessee. The exterior of building was also made to look like a coal mine entrance, including large decor of a tual rusty mining equipment. I had the chicken garlic parmesan sandwich at the suggestion of my very friendly server, and now I see why it is his favorite item on the menu. Onion rings were awesome too. Wish this place was closer to home as it feels like a bar/restaurant that I would visit frequently.

At Michael's Supper Club we have a great wine selection, fresh seafood, choice steaks, veal entrees, and delectable desserts.

High end products, excellent presentations, knowledgeable staff.Michaelâs is the best dinning experience in Wausau. Excellent pastas, and even better veal dishes. Steaks, seafood and on occasion even Beef Wellington.This is not an inexpensive restaurant, but it is worth it. If they were located in a bigger city you could NEVER get a reservation.

Based on others recommendations, we stopped by for lunch while driving thru Wisconsin. Quaint restaurant that looked like a diner but with food several notches above. All ingredients were fresh and delicious. The favorite sandwich at our table was the gyro. The waiter recommended it and my husband said it was one of the best he has had. Other entrees that our table had was grilled tuna sandwich, hot turkey sandwich and the chicken pesto sandwich.

Stopped in this weekend with my wife and were very impressed with all of their food options. Their shrimp skewers were delicious and the turkey club wrap was perfect. Also got a flight of beer, which was great. I couldn't identify a flagship beer, but all of their various types were fairly good.

I am kind in giving a rating of three. That is only because our server was good. JC, I think is his name. Maybe JT.I ordered a gf dish and it was pretty bad. My girlfriend ordered salmon. If it was not undercooked, it might have been good. About halfway through, she reached the raw parts. The server took it back for more heat and it turned out okay.I remember 15-20 years ago enjoying 2510. My last few experiences, including the last, have not been positive. That is a shame, as this could be a great place to dine. Get with it, 2510. You could be one of Wausau's best restaurants. BUT, you are not now.
