The drinks were incredible! I had the blackberry jack lemonade and couldn’t even taste the alcohol—it was so smooth and refreshing. We started with a tomato and mozzarella salad, and the dressing was honestly the best I’ve ever had on that type of salad—so flavorful and fresh. For my main dish, I ordered the walleye special, which came out nearly a foot long and was hands down the best fish I’ve ever eaten—perfectly cooked and delicious.
The atmosphere was just as wonderful as the food. The outside area is cute, cozy, and so comfortable, with a wooden wrap-around deck that offers both shade and privacy. Absolutely loved everything about this place and can’t wait to come back!

I don’t like to leave poor reviews but this establishment just seemed in disarray. First though, I do have to say we ordered a Maple Old Fashioned, and it was very good, so that was a positive. Ok on the the full review… My partner and I were on our way through town and just wanted to get a drink and dessert. I saw this place had decent reviews online and had a large selection of bourbons (we love a variety of whiskey/bourbons). First, it took quite a while to have the initial waitress come back to our table after seating us, for us to just order drinks. Then we were told the dessert on their dessert board we wanted was sold out. We ordered something different and waited almost 30 mins to be told that was sold out also. They did offer to send us home with a frozen piece of cheesecake but we declined. Although staff were polite, service was subpar. The waitress was dressed in what I would consider street clothes and was struggling to be efficient. We finished our drinks and then had to go to the bar to get our check. The bartender was showing other customers photos on her phone and took a few minutes to acknowledge us. Then she yelled for our waitress to get the bill. Online presence makes this place seem like a higher end bar/restaurant but with people playing “shake of the day” at the bar, the waitress dressed down, and lack of food they listed, I would say this is far from the image they present. I really wanted to like this place and they do have a really good selection of whiskey/bourbons. Just a few tweaks and this could be a 5 star place. And as a side note, the one sprig of greenery on the wine glass rack was just odd.

I just sat down to treat myself with a steak and was not disappointed. I truly want to give this praise because I walked in off the street on a hunch, dressed in what could be considered my worst attire, and they treated me like any normal customer. I ordered a 16oz ribeye with roasted asparagus and I can say i was impressed. The steak was spot on rare and the asparagus was delicious. The wine i ordered was perfectly paired with my dinner. All that with the cozy atmosphere will definitely bring me back here. 5/5

Feedback intended to be helpful:
Ordered an entree and split it with my wife. Noticed on the bill a “shared plate” fee of $3.
Been going to Neil’s for three years . That’s new.
Ironically, I ordered a bottle of wine and split that with my wife but no added “split fee” on that. The chicken was over cooked and the sauce on the Chicken Marsala happened to be watery and not as thick as it’s historically been.
Absolutely want to support local restaurants so I hope this gets dialed-in.
McKenzie was our server and she was great.

Such a great find for a wonderful meal! Very reasonably prices and lovely atmosphere. We both had specials for night after starting off with stuffed mushrooms. Topped off dinner with scrumptious chocolate cake.

In Portage for a club event and found Neil’s Wind House in Google so we gave it a try. The drinks were perfect, the service was great, the owner Neil spent some time with us and was just an enjoyable evening. I told Neil we were hoping for a WOW effect with the food, and it was. Great job Neil!!!!

I went with two others and each had a delicious meal. The salmon was the best I ever had! When I come back to town I am planning on going here for sure.
What you will notice is the aroma of all the food! It’s intoxicating!

Found Neil’s Wine and Bourbon House while on the way from Chicago to Eau Claire and needing a spot for dinner that wasn’t fast food/bar food. This 10 mile detour couldn’t have been better. Great patio and luckily the fall weather hadn’t quite hit. Pleasant servers who helped navigate the dinner menu with their recommendations.
Now to the food, we had a pan seared salmon, the loaded mashed potatoes, French onion soup and tenderloin medallions with mushrooms and blue cheese. This was easily the best meal I’ve had in the last 6 months if not 2 years. We shared dishes to try everything and every bite was just loaded with flavor. I started with the steak and afterwards I was going to be sad about ordering the salmon, but the butter and cook and the salmon was just perfect.
I really can’t give enough praise for this place it was a nice break on a long drive and I’d absolutely stop again. Also all that food, 3 beers and a glass of wine and the bill was $73. Maybe I’m just used to city prices but that blew me away!

Second time dining in, food was horrible first they forgot our soup then the bruschetta was just cold burned bread, when we got our meal was not even what the menu said and it was cold and looked like it was sitting for a while plus super salty. Definitely not going back the only thing was good was the wine.

Our food was either extremely salty or not much flavor. The bartender was also the waitress. The food took a very long time to prepare, with only one other three person group in the restaurant. I heard that a new buyer was going to be taking over, so we might give them one more chance.
