Restaurants near Orion Mussel Bed State Natural Area

Everything was excellent; three of us had the bone in Ribeye with the bone marrow butter and all three steaks were cooked perfectly. Another one of our group had the filet which was also perfect. One had the a spicy shrimp over linguine dish which was also very good. The ONLY slight disappointment was the strawberry schaum torte. It seemed to be tackier/chewier than the last time I had it. It was sticking to my teeth which I don't recall from the first time I ordered it.

Wow. That was delicious. Our server was Luis who was very pleasant (had to flag him down a couple times but overall did a great job). Drinks were served fairly quickly (old fashions and black manhattans were tasty). Started with the bread and butter. 3 types of "toppings" on the butter and it was a fun way to start the meal with warm bread. Then we shared a caesar salad that was prepared with some crispy cheese on top and not drenched in dressing. The lobster bisque was like a miso soup meets bisque, different and good but not sure if I would get it again. I had the filet and my wife had the salmon with the skin cooked to a crisp and both were cooked beautifully. Highly recommend.

100% recommend for a special occasion or something with someone special, as it is on the pricier side, however it is far worth the money to spend. I do ALOT of cooking with steaks and this one blew me out of the water so tender juicy and melt in your mouth. The seafood was also incredible and I am someone who is almost always on the fence or dislikes lobster and crabs but not here. That staff was very friendly and helpful. Would go back time and time again

Consistently fine quality, in food, presentation, and service. The menu offers so many interesting options, and the flavors are beautifully chosen to make each plate distinctive. When we order beef as we did tonight it hit medium rare masterfully! Coopers has been a favorite of ours since 2016, across many states, and the Middleton, WI venue lives up to the high standards set by the company.

Great place to eat. Fantastic fish fry on Fridays. Only complaint is hostess seated us next to a loud crowd of 12-14 people. Many booths and other tables away from large crowd were open. We asked to move away from crowd was no problem. Might be a reminder to your staff to consider this when seating customers next to large group’s.
