Restaurants near Rock River Country Club

Jonny Manhattans is always a special experience. The service is top notch and the food and drinks are always amazing! My husband and I brought our neighbors to dinner for their first time at Jonny’s, and they were really impressed. The holiday decor was also very beautiful and made the ambience even better!

The experience from even the beginning is wonderful. The location is nestled in a beautiful neighborhood overlooking the water. Even the ladies at Coat check and the hostess stand were polite ( even when we were late to our reservation) and they were able to accommodate. We had a couple servers but working at a golf club before that is normal and it actually added to the overall service of the evening. Our waiter was enthusiastic and helpful with recommendations to the menu as he was to every table he was currently serving. Water was always filled , never gone. The overall experience and food was wonderful. Between ceasar salad, lobster bisque and lamb chops , each item was prepared great. Everyone at our table liked the food, the ambiance and the atmosphere of Bartolotta - The Commodore. Truly an experience for the tastebuds and the views.

It was very cold in the restaurant. They did have a fireplace, though, which they seated me right next to. Brighton, the bartender, made me a hot toddy, which he calls the "Baby It's Cold Outside". VERY good. He's a terrific bartender, polished and professional. Dovie, the server, was very attentive and really nice. Too bad there was no piano player sitting at the baby grand. Unfortunately the cheese curds were not that great (they did only have one cook though). The salmon and polenta were fabulous.

We chose to eat at Oakwood because Green Lake is halfway between us and another couple. As a resort town, Green Lake is quiet during the winter so the restaurant wasn't busy on a Friday night. We ordered shrimp havarti and potato skins for appetizers, and ribeyes, beef bourguignon, and gnocchi as entrees. The shrimp havarti was delicious and the steaks were large and cooked perfectly. The only complaint is that the potato skins were just that: potato skins, like large not quite done potato chips. We expected them to have toppings like cheese but there was nothing on them.

My mother and I dined here on Easter and we had a most magnificent time! Our server Marty was wonderful, caring, and humorous. Thank you for his service. I noticed that this Red Lobster could use a makeover. The carpet looks worn and dirty, and the bench we were sitting had torn fabric. Also, the dust on the ledges was quite noticeable.
