craving Wisconsin dairy? what about fine dining with a lakeside view? casual Thai on a winter night? eat well here! 🍛🍜
we went here for an anniversary dinner and it was worth the spend. the view of the water is stunning! highly recommend the goat cheese dip, mocktails, and roasted sardines. the flourless chocolate cake was HEAVENLY

my best friend is a local at this place, and I’m so glad, because the food was warm and delicious on a cold winter day! I got a tofu curry that was very tasty & a matcha in this very pretty glass
