1847 At the Stamm House

Really, really cool location!! Long history of the Stamm house- "built in 1847, as a service store to the "Old Sauk Trail"", In 1852 it became a hotel and tavern, in 1910 it became a dance hall, in 1925 ownership was changed again, and in the 1950s it because a Supper Club. It was repurchased in 2013 by the current owners, and restored to what it is today. Really neat (longer) history that you can find on the website. Both the ceiling and the wine cellar are original, make sure to look at both!!The menu has a wide selection of entrees (including extra fish on Fridays). For dinner we ordered the truffle fries, cheese curds, and gnocchi with sausage. The truffle fries were perfectly crispy and the bacon herb and chipotle aioli they were served with tasted exquisite (best part of the fries). I thought the gnocchi was the perfect texture- not too dense- and the crumbled up sausage paired with the pasta and the red sauce nicely. Really enjoyed both the atmosphere and the food here and would definitely return.

Lots of parking in the back area. Loved the vibes and the patio area was perfect for summer. I was kind of surprised the reviews aren't that great. We started off with the burrata. Light but tasty appetizer to start off with. My boyfriend got the burger that came with fries. Loved the fries! Super crunch, perfectly salted. Very large portions. I opted for the salmon. The brussel sprouts were plain by themselves but this dish with the bacon bits and salmon made it a perfect bite every time. I loved the lobster cream on the bottom.As far as service was, we liked our waiter. She was attentive. We thought it was a bit slow. It did get annoying at some point eating out on the patio because of the bugs. I would either recommend they put out some citronella or those bug zappers for people to enjoy the outdoor dining experience.Overall, I'd return!

Great service, great food, cool building! Portions are huge! I went home with leftovers and split my meal. The desserts were delicious! My group got the tiramisu and the chocolate mousse cake! I would definitely go here again!

Went to that Stamm House at about 6pm with 5 couples. Seated upstairs at a nice table but the room was very cool. I mean cold. Group started with some nicely prepared beef tips as an appetizer. Wifey had the grilled chicken sandwich and a side salad. The sandwich was average at best and the side salad was fresh but very small. I had the French onion soup ($10) and a side salad ($10) with blue cheese dressing. The soup was very good, loaded with croutons and a heavy dose of melted cheese. I really enjoyed the soup. The side salad was small and the dressing was some ranch with 2-3 small chunks of blue cheese. I was disappointed with the salad and ticked off at the price.Our friends had other assorted items. I didn't make note of them. No one was raving about the food being good and everyone was commenting about how cool the room was.In all honesty I can't recommend the Stamm House. Other reviews seem to have had a better experience. We wont return.

The historic aspect of dining at the Stamm House unfortunately did not outweigh the disappointing and over-priced meal we had there.Our group of six arrived exactly on time for our Saturday night reservation. Still, we had to wait for our table despite the fact that much of the restaurant was empty. The group that arrived after us, with no reservation, was attended to and seated before us.We started with drinks and appetizers. The cocktail I ordered was pretty watered down.When the appetizers we ordered arrived at the table, our server completely forgot to bring plates and silverware. He walked away from the table and we assumed he'd be back with them shortly. But when he returned to take our entree orders, he did not have plates in hand and we had to ask him outright to bring them.The truffle fries were alright, nothing spectacular. The calamari was a teenie tiny serving size. The Brussel sprouts were undercooked but probably the best thing I ate the whole meal. All three apps were served with nondescript mayo sauces that basically tasted the same.My husband ordered the chef special, which was bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin and shrimp. It wasn't bad, but very very salty. The mashed potatoes were incredibly dry and the salad was the best thing on the plate, despite the weird inclusion of avocado.I ordered the chicken piccata, one of my favorite dishes... it was inedible. $25 got me hard, undercooked, boxed pasta (none of the dishes we ordered featured fresh pasta), incredibly overcooked and dry chicken, and a nonsensical array of mushrooms, tomatoes and canned artichoke hearts. I ate about two bites of food before deciding it wasn't worth it.Overall, a super disappointing meal. I don't think we'll return or recommend to others... I really wish we would have gone downtown for a burger instead.

food came out super fast but they actually forgot about us in the beginning so it took a while for a server to help us. we got the cheese curds which imo tastes better than the old fashioned's cheese curds (juuuuust by a bit tho), the complimentary bread was so warm and the butter melted right into it!! the fish fry was good but i wish the truffle fries were thinner. we got the the bacon aioli on the side which was an interesting concept. can't say i'd get it again. the server recommended the salmon pasta but this was my least fav dish actually. felt like i could've cooked that up myself at home. my second fav part of the meal after the cheese curds was the creme brulee, it was everything i've been craving and the PERFECT end to dinner. service was otherwise really good once we actually had a waiter lol interior of the restaurant is really cute, it's really just the inside of a house!!

The ambiance of the outdoor seating drew me into this place every time I drove past it. Finally was able to try it out with some friends and we enjoyed the seating outside. The cocktails and fries were delicious, as well as the very refreshing Caesar salad. Unfortunately, our main dishes were lacking flavor and quite bland. I almost wonder if they forgot the sauce on our risotto (which is made with rice). I plan to go again and try something different or this may be more of a drink and app spot in my book.

I wanted to like this place. It's so cute and charming, has a full menu and makes a good old fashioned! But if the food doesn't match up..then eh I guess you could come for some pre-dinner drinks or a night cap. Or maybe just avoid the fish fry, which is what I got. The fish was bland, mushy, and the fries were about the same. I will say I liked the coleslaw, but it was such a small amount, I was underwhelmed. The service was good, attentive, and easy to split our check, so that was a plus, but overall I wont' be making my way up to this place again, unless I'm in the area. And I'm definitely ordering something else.

Broad and creative menu. The cocktails were tasty and nice sized. The food was well prepared and presented. Good steaks and sides. They ran out of prime rib by 6:30 pm despite it being a special item the night we went there, but there were plenty of other options.We liked the ambiance of this old stone house and will definitely return there.

Bryce was our server and he was amazing! He was super attentive and helpful when we wanted to switch tables. He never kept us waiting. The fish fry was one of the best we've ever had.
