Delicious food served by friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a cocktail and/or gather with friends and family. Reservations suggested for Friday fish fry and Saturday Prime Rib specials. Their menu is small as they are newly opened but said their menu will continue to grow. Definitely a welcome addition to the Westside of Oconomowoc for dinner and cocktails. We highly recommend giving this new restaurant a try for a burger and boneless wings or fish fry because this is what we’ve ordered so far,but we will be continuing to stop and try different menu items each time!

This was our second visit, and we stopped by after finishing some errands. There was no wait, which was a nice surprise. The bar area is fantastic — the large corner spaces are now my absolute favorite. And the seats? They feel like luxury office chairs, but in a bar-chair form. So comfortable!
The food was fantastic. We ordered a burger and a pizza, and both were delicious. Everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly and welcoming. There were several regulars already, and I can definitely see why. The owner, bartender, cook, and waitresses were all so kind. You can tell they’re working incredibly hard to make this a great place for everyone — and they’re doing a great job.
One of my favorite parts of visiting a local bar is hearing the stories behind it: how it started, how the team got here. They made it personal, and I really appreciate the honesty and effort that goes into running a small business, especially in the early stages.
The waitresses were very sweet and still learning, which is completely understandable. To those leaving negative comments — give them time. They’ve just opened. It’s called grace, and that’s what this season is about: giving.
I also appreciate how honest they are on their social media pages about still filling positions and apologizing for any inconveniences. That kind of transparency says a lot — owning the issues and actively fixing them.
We will absolutely be back! Thank you so much for sharing the stories of the building, the start-up process, the ongoing hard work, and above all the pride you take in every step. Keep going — you’re on the right path, and it shows.
Thank you, team! We’ll be back soon! ✨

I ordered three fish fries to go last night from the wonderful happy place. I was greeted by the owner, who was extremely friendly. The food was excellent even to go! The fish wasn’t soggy after being in containers and the potato pancakes were crispy on the edges and the flavor was outstanding! It was nice to see the place full of community! I definitely recommend this establishment and their cuisine. I will definitely be back.

Recently stopped in for a bite to eat. The appetizers were great. The pretzel with the beer cheese, delish! The mozzarella sticks and marinara sauce was 5 stars. My friend wanted an old fashion, did not think it was the right drink, she went to the bartender and was told it was a premade mix. It’s not good. I tried it also and didn’t like it. My amaretto sour was just ok.
Two of us had the haddock fish fry, one had the cod fish fry and the other had the boneless chicken wings. The haddock fish was very bland as was the clam chowder. The friend who had the wings felt they were just nuggets slathered in sauce.
Jim, the owner is very nice and convinced us to have the brownie dessert. It was incredible! Jim and the staff work hard and are very nice people. He has a lot of great thoughts for the future of the place but they’ve got to refine some things.

Just dropped by to get a drink. Coerced into getting the cheese curds. Amazing! And gluten free! The tiramisu was so light and delicious. The candied bacon brownie was melt in your mouth divine! The wait staff was friendly and fun. Definitely headed back again!!

Ill start off by saying the food was excellent. We went on a Friday arriving around 415. Were seated right away however it took over 10 minutes of waitresses walking by an empty room to approach us for drinks. By that time, we were already decided on food since we had a good amount of time to look at the menu. After ordering it took roughly 30 min to get our 2 plates of fish and one order of chicken tenders. We had noticed every other table around us having issues so we decided that once they took our plates that we would ask for our check. That is when we asked the first time, approximately 15 minutes later we asked a different waitress. 15 minutes after that i went up to the front to find a waitress annoyed that i was asking again. Over this 30 minutes all waitresses just walked on by not giving a care in the world. Any sort of acknowledgment that this was an inconvenience to us would have been nice. We left shortly after 630. Food is great, but i would carve out 3+ hours for dinner.

If you want frozen/bagged/container/canned food come here. I was told it’s fresh frozen. No such thing. I ordered appetizers and entrees like I do at home. I make them fresh, like not frozen at all. I go to the butcher and fish market. Apparently they don’t know anything about that. Obviously to try to lower food costs (even though buying fresh ingredients is cheaper, hint hint). The head chef is walking around the tables saying their food is great. Yeah for the 80+ cliniet that need mushy, underseasoned garbage. It’s perfect! For everyone else save your money McDonald’s is cheaper with the same quality.
Enjoy destroying this perfect spot for an amazing restaurant again. I know it’s the leasee’s 2nd go at it.

We do not complain but I feel it’s necessary here for the improvement of your future here. My boyfriend said his ribeye was good, but it looked very strange to me. I had the ribs. They were very dry and covered in ketchup. I was never offered sour cream or butter for my potato and my appetizer was fit for 15 people. I ordered the fried pickles. I expected like seven or eight fried pickles, but I think I got 30, just overkill. Also, no dinner rolls were offered to my boyfriend for his prime rib so he literally had prime rib and fries as he doesn’t eat salad or soup. I guess we are not impressed and I’m sorry. I hope it gets better but I’ve never had ribs so poor in my life, dry and covered in ketchup.Also way too many onions on the salad.
