Colony House Restaurant

The one that started it all...Colony House was my first review ever on Yelp (January 2015). Since then, I've posted over 300 reviews on Yelp. And I can honestly say, a very small portion of those restaurants are as good as Colony House! Over the years we've had many of their offerings and we've never been disappointed. Some of our favorites include: Chicken De Johghe, BBQ Ribs, Veal Parmigiana, Chicken Piccata, and any of their steaks! Dinner comes with soup, salad, and fresh baked bread! I recommend the warm spinach salad, it is awesome! Service is always top notch. Colony House has a great reputation. They always have a good crowd so you should definitely make reservations. If you haven't been to Colony House, I highly recommend it!

We were there in 2010 the first time. Tonight we went back ( we have moved back to the area and I wanted to go back so bad). Anyway the place as changed. Very dark, drab and very loud. Service was very hectic to say the least. We had reservations and our table ( for 2) was not ready when we arrived. But the place was not packed . We ordered our beer and waited 15 minutes. We then ordered our appetizer and main meal at same time.( not my preference but that is what they did) our appetizer came out luckily before our meal . It was OK. Then our main meal came out. Fish should not be cold. Not icy cold but you could tell it was done long before we got served . I ate it because I saw the table next to me waiting for 2 meals that they had sent back and it took them a long time to get them, in fact they just boxed them up after they got them since the rest of their party ate , and I did not want to wait forever. So I ate cold fish. The fries were not cooked, I did not touch them. So I had to base my food on taste. The baked fish was very good. The battered fish, it was pretty bad. Honestly, we could have made the meal we had way cheaper, hotter ( as in temperature) at home but Colony House was on my list to visit again after we moved back to the area. So disappointing since I had been wanting to go back.

Came in for dinner at 5:30pm on a Sunday evening. We made reservations the day before and those are highly recommended, particularly if you want a specific table. It was our first time, so we didn't request anything special. There were two of us and we were seated at a table in the middle of the dining room. We noticed that we were seated in a high traffic area and there was a lot of noise. We noticed a small room at the end of the dining room that was kind of closed off that had an empty table for two. We asked if we could be moved there, but were told that someone else had already reserved that table. Each entree came with choice of soup, salad, and potato. I got the garden salad, chose the chili as my soup, and the twice baked potato. The garden salad was your standard fare (lettuce, cucumber, onion, etc.) and was a good start. The chili was also decent, but again it was a regular everyday chili.We also requested some cooked carrots (an option with the entree), and those arrived for the table. The carrots were tender and sweet. Yummy!The duck was wonderfully cooked, served with some apple slices and a delicious glaze. The service was particularly friendly, as one might expect at a "supper club" style place. The biggest challenge with my experience was the noise level. I had to raise my voice to have a conversation with my wife who was sitting next to me, and I had a hard time hearing her as well. Mind you, my hearing is perfectly fine, having had it tested recently. The issue is the acoustics in the dining room make conversations very difficult. It really ruined my experience.Bottom line is that the food and service are good, but the noise level makes conversation difficult. There are a few tables in the bar area. Perhaps those might have less noise. Anyway, for the noise reason, I don't expect to be back.

My parents go here every Friday night and I decided to join right before the holidays! I'm vegetarian so the menu is pretty light on entree options. I ended up getting artichoke dip, a salad and onion rings! The artichoke dip was fantastic, the salad was pretty basic and small and the onion rings were yummy! Honestly the artichoke dip was one of the best I've ever had. Five stars for that dip. The only reason I rated it a four is because I think they should add another vegetarian entree option! The decor is beautiful around Christmas. It felt like we went to the North Pole and stopped to see Santa.

We came with no reservation on a saturday night but i think it was a blessing since we ended up sitting at the bar. Norm, the bartender was amazing. He is very attentive. We are not from the area and it is our first time dining here. Food and service was excellent, definitely recommending this to anyone. I would say sit in the bar!

First time at Colony House. Tried to get reservations in past but could never score a good time. Went with another couple on Friday @ 5p. It was nice. Old school supper club at Christmas time which made for a festive ambiance. Twi people had the Fish fry (Cod and Perch). They really liked it. One had the Fried shrimp and also really liked it. I had filet Oscar and it was good, but I ordered Medium and it came medium well to well. I did not send it back as most of it was ok. Appetizers were Fresh oysters and crab cakes which were good. Also, I had the barley soup which was just ok and spinach salad w'/hot bacon dressing which was also ok. Drinks were made very well along with good wine selections. Service was good, no issues. Big menu to select from with a lot of classics. Prices were very reasonable. We stayed and talked for quite awhile w/o being hassled to leave. All in all a great night out and will be back soon to the try Prime Rib and Fried Chicken.

Oh how we love this place!My favorite thing about it is well..everything! Haven't had a bad experience ever. The escargot is so good we have to get our own to indulge. The wine selection is decent however, definitely more than 100% markup on that.The staff though is wonderful and the food delicious. We'll see you again very soon!

Set in a historical home. (Hence colony house I'm guessing) Friends invited us out and no one of our party of four went home hungry or disappointed. Salad was yum and my fish was perfection. Good libations. ... The one star missing is from the dessert. Crem brûlée was runny and a bit curdled .... It did have good flavor. Would this stop us from coming again?? . Absolutely NOT!! I think it was karma telling me off for my waistline. See you soon colony house !!

We were here years ago and forgot about it. Had dinner last night. Attentive and friendly waitress Jeanne. Duck was outstanding and my wife loved the Orange roughy. Very pleased. The full meal and desert really filled us up. Only downside, all the hard surfaces make it loud when crowded.We will definitely return!

Tradition super club atmosphere, and exactly what we were hoping for. We made reservations and the place was packed, Friday at 5:00. Very attentive service, menu with many options and a great value. I go the ribeye dinner, my wife NY strip. both steaks done perfectly along with salad, sides, etc. If you are looking for a traditional Wisconsin supper club- this place is just north of IL border and highly recommend.
