    The reservation process was a breeze, walked in and was greeted and seated promptly. The server, Mike B. was attentive and courteous, I even made mention to the manager upon leaving that he was outstanding. The dinner was exquisite, mouthwatering good. This is one of our favorite dining spots. Thank you for the Valentine's Day dinner. Best part, I didn't have to do the dishes. It was a bit drafty sitting so close to the door...

    We had a great dining experience. Our server, Noah, did a great job and the food was delicious. We chose the special Valentine’s Day Menu. Steak was done perfectly and very flavorful. And we never felt rushed, even though the restaurant was very busy.

    Excellent experience at Wissota Chophouse Neenah for a celebratory anniversary dinner. It was a treat to see Bonnie, who we remember from the Stevens Point location, working the bar & our server John made it a memorable evening. We hear the chef is new, but he did a fantastic job. Huge, delicious wedge salad that was easy to split. Steaks cooked perfectly, creamy mushroom risotto, expertly made craft cocktails & a great wine selection. If you haven’t tried the raspberry tiramisu, you are missing out!
