Heading to the northern climes once again – and hoping to score some good scenery (like fall colors) – we stopped off in a medium-sized city for the night: Marshfield, Wisconsin. There, we had dinner at Lumberyard Bar & Grill. (This page may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure about affiliate links.) Some Brief History […]

As I look back at (a part of) my career, it somehow does not seem possible that I have written as many reviews as records would indicate I have. The number is somewhere north of 150… But I digress. So, here I am, contemplating a review of a dinner Lauren and I enjoyed recently at […]

The 5 O’Clock Club has an incredible view, sitting atop a hill that overlooks Granite Lake. It’s 155 acres of scenic beauty with plenty of your favorite fish species. But wait!

Ever heard of the Guide’s Inn? How about Boulder Junction? Both are in Wisconsin… The parents of a very good friend of mine decided that they wanted to escape the noise and hustle of a big city, so they packed up their belongings and moved to Boulder Junction, a small town in northern Wisconsin. That […]

With plate presentations that rival some of the best that I have seen and service that is superior to many places that I have visited — not to mention the quality of the food and dining experience — the Courthouse Pub in Manitowoc, Wisconsin is certainly a place that I could make a habit of […]

Nestled against the shore of the deepest lake in Wisconsin – Green Lake – the Grey Rock Mansion at the Heidel House Hotel and Conference Center boasts one of the most picturesque settings I have visited and is truly an adventure in fine dining. From the outside, and even upon entering, it is hard to […]
