    The food had good taste however our table had two orders of bison lasagna which neither was up to temperature warm at best. Also had bread pudding for dessert which again not up to temperature cool at best. There’s several great restaurants in Wausau where I could spend my $225 and get a hot meal.

    The igloo experience at Van Acre was incredible! My boyfriend and I spent our anniversary here and they made us special. The 1 1/2 hour time slot is the perfect length of time. The waitress was great and attentive to us. The food was amazing as always.
