Fork & Dagger Ale Haus

It was snowing out, and the supper club we were traveling to shut down early. A local recommended Fork & Dagger and told us we wouldn't be disappointed. He was spot on. The food was excellent. The drink menu and wine selection was also pleasing. We all left very satisfied. If we're back in the area, we'll be back in. Cool ambience.

We were entertaining friends from out of town on Saturday night and decided to have dinner at Fork & Dagger as we have been to the restaurant numerous times, including hosting a large table for my husband's birthday, and have had relatively positive experiences. Unfortunately, 3 out of the 6 entrees we ordered were (or became) INEDIBLE. Two of the inedible items, Prime Rib and Halibut, were featured specials. The Prime Rib was to be served Medium, but it was UNCOOKED and SO GRIZZLED that it could not be cut with a steak knife. The Halibut was overdone and dried out (risotto was excellent). The NY Strip was ordered Medium, but served Blue. These issues are all easily remedied, which is why I am always confounded if a restaurant chooses not to fix their mistakes and make it the customer's problem as the hill to die on. Given our recent experience, I really don't expect this place to remain in business much longer which probably makes this review moot, but the ownership may want to consider the following: DON'T condescendingly "serversplain" and argue with your customer about Prime Rib temperature. You never know who you are speaking with and they may know more about proper meat temperatures than you (and maybe more than the person who incorrectly prepared it). DO apologize and offer to either remake the item or remove the item entirely from the bill. I prefer the former and so should the restaurant because it shows that the Cook ("Chef" is overzealous) can properly prepare the item which makes me more than willing to give the place another try. DON'T be snarky, rude and unapologetic and remove 1/2 of the price of one of the 3 entrees and call it a day after taking the plate back to the kitchen and MICROWAVING the entire thing as your way of solving the problem. It's a big EFF YOU to your customers and, without customers, well, you know...

Monday night; Open at 4Small menu, each one created with care, and the flavors are amazing!! Taps and apps. At Fork and DaggerWhat a great thing!!!!

Absolutely astounding. For a place out of the way, the food is some of the best I've ever come across in WisconsinDuring an outing with my family to Elkhart Lake for Concours d'Elegance, we were absolutely starving and every business for miles was packed with folks! This included Fork & Dagger. However, this situation did not stop them from the impressive service and even more so food! We had waited 45 minutes to be seated, but when we finally were seen, it was the best food I had ever eaten. My father and his friend ordered a schnitzel, which blew their pants off. I myself got a burger and it was cooked to perfection- medium rare as requested.I hope to come back soon, and highly recommend if you are in the area!

Great food! Service was excellent, good people. The atmosphere was very nice and the downstairs bourbon room is super cool with great variety. Amazing beer and bourbon selection. Might be our current favorite restaurant, definitely want to try more things on the menu.

This restaurant is by far one of the best around the tri county area. Always amazing food, friendly and great staff, along with top notch service. I always make a reservation as they get very busy at times but, if I don't, it is well worth the wait.

The all appetizer night is all time. Everything I've tried here has been outstanding. The beer selection is great. The sauce on the cheese curds makes them stand out. You really can't go wring with any menu choice when eating here. The atmosphere is lively but not too loud and the service has always been great. A go to spot if you are in the area.

I have been to this wonderful restaurant many times. I have had the Cod Father 3 times. It's so good. A larger portion,crispy and delicious. The pastas are incredible. Done to perfection. My rigatoni with Italian sausage was so good. I am from an area that excels in Italian food and I have yet to find anything that compares to it. But my Rigatoni and Italian sausage was perfection. Thank you for giving me a great option for great Italian!! Service is wonderful.. I would recommend this restaurant again and again.

Best restaurant in Kiel and a great bar! We really enjoy the creative menu and delicious food.

Excellent selection of beer, wine and cocktails. If you can't find something, you are WAY too fussy and shouldn't be outside of your bubble. We have been here 3 times and have never left hungry or disappointed. The pork schnitzel is one of our favorite selections, the fish and chips is a healthy portion with perfect fish to batter ratio (poor review sounds more like an entitlement problem than a legitimate food review). Make reservations, they do get very busy, and DO NOT skip dessert!
