I.d.

Food, drinks, service, the space?? All absolutely incredible. I was worried the seating near the open style kitchen would be super loud and uncomfortable, but it was a great experience and I was still able to have a wonderful time with my dinner company.

Nice place!!!!! Warm welcoming inviting atmosphere. Staff friendly efficient glad to assist you. Spacious room between the tables and bar stools. You are not shoe horned in. This was only a cocktail stop tonight so I can't rate the food via tasting this time though but last time it was amazing. And from friends that frequent this establishment they rave about it all the time. So repeat customers that rave about return visits in my mind always hold more weight than the occasional stop. So bon appétit

This place is STUNNING. From the outside of the hotel to the romantic interior, the ambiance is fantastic. The food here is constantly changing but consistently fantastic. The truffle fries are a staple, paired with a garlic aioli. The sweet fire chicken bread flatbread was great if you're looking to venture out a bit. The truffle mac and cheese is more on the Al dente side, not too overbearing of a truffle flavor as well. The wait staff is incredibly attentive, filling drinks, bringing food, and very polite. Overall a perfect date night or special occasion spot l!

Last night we had my birthday dinner at I.d. inside the Delafield Hotel. This place has been on my yelp list for quite some time. We are also glad that we ended up there for dinner.Our server, Parker, started by telling us the history of the hotel, and what type of restaurant I.d. is. Which is a small plates shared experience. And let me tell you, you will have an experience. We had a party of four, and we chose to have 4 to 5 starters, three main shared, and some flatbread. Also, he recommended the craft cocktails from the menu. They were absolutely amazing. You can't go wrong choosing any one of them.He recommended the craft cocktails from the menu. They were absolutely amazing. You can't go wrong choosing anyone of them. My favorite was"Meet me in the garden". Parker also recommended what type of wine to pair with the menu.All of the shared plates we had were very generous in size, more so than you would find at a normal tapas type restaurant. from the truffle fries, to the tempura foraged mushrooms,to the Hagar steak everything was fabulous. From the beautiful decor, to the dinner, and a sweet finish with a birthday cake for me , the evening was wonderful. Largely due to the magical Parker our server. If you are lucky enough to have him attending you for the night, you will lack for nothing. Great place for any special occasion, date night, dinner with a group of friends. Highly recommend.The one thing that was something that could be improved upon, is when the courses came. I felt like they were rushing us? I thought it was going to be spaced out a bit more than it was. I felt like we had food on food on food on the table. We even asked if they could slow down the courses, which they said they would, but they did not. That is the only downfall.

First impressions make a difference. Welcoming and visually appealing lighting, intentionally simple yet chic decor, private dining rooms with comfortable seating and appropriately selected dining music and impeccable service. Dust off your fancy clothes this place is a great location for a business dinner or date night with your friends group. We eat with our eyes first and I.d. takes plating to the next level. If you dine with a large group you get to try a bite of each dish and you will truly leave happy and satisfied. What should you order? Glad you asked because we had the chef select our dishes and here were my favorites:Snack category - the truffle fries are to die for and of course get the crispy brussel sprouts because everything is better with bacon and bacon is truly the star of this dish. Bread category - because there is a category specific to bread you need to order it because it comes with all the bread types and foie gras and bone marrow spreads take those carbs to the next level. Shared plates category - if you haven't tried a smash burger please order it you will not be disappointed. Be sure to also order the scallops which are served with a rice cake, bok choy and ginger plums which makes for a fantastic bite. The hanger steak marinade was very flavorful and comes with broccolini and I'm a fan of broccolini. Dessert category - you will be full by this point but order all the desserts because you just try a small bite of each one. My favorite was the caramel apple accompanied with horchata ice cream and a fancy designed cinnamon sugar fried dough. My next favorite was the chocolate pecan crunch bar served with butterscotch ice cream - truly sweet. For certain a five-star dining experience - make your reservation today.

Such a pleasant surprise! A must-try in Delafield, hands down.We were seated right away out on the patio. What a lovely space! We ordered the Japanese milk bread, heirloom carrots, lobster pasta, pork belly tacos and chocolate crepe cake.OMG not one thing disappointed. The rolls were perfection. The beet radiatore pasta with the lobster was phenomenal, loved the color! The carrots may have been the best I've ever had with that dark chili oil. The tacos were flavorful and light. And finally the crepe cake-- that lavender whipped ganache was delightful.The pricing is steep but the food quality and ambiance totally match it. Our waiter was prompt, professional and not only knew the menu well, he made great recommendations-- too.Ok, the drinks though.I ordered first the Meet Me In the Garden-- the cucumber vodka was perfect for a summer day. Then the Pico de Vodka-- again, such a summery drink with the cucumber and basil. I kind of want to try everything their bartenders stir and shake up!I.d. is a big city treasure living in little old Delafield. Checkout their seasonal, always changing menu if you're ever in town.

we only had drinks and appetizers while sitting on the patio. recommendations prompted us to give I.d. a try. we ordered cocktails and and creamy feta dip while reviewing the menu. the menu options were limited in my opinion and just did not appeal. service was fast, drinks were flavorful and the restaurant and bar area are attractive.

A shout out to the Delafield Hotel. If you live in WI and want a staycation, I definitely recommend staying at the Delafield Hotel and dinner reservations at I.D. I am a bit weary on hotel restaurants but I love this place. The ambiance is cool and sleek. The food menu alternates to keep things refreshing. I noticed the drink menu doesn't change as frequently.The server recommended a couple duplicates for our party of 6 but we could have stuck with 1. The favorites of the night were warmed whipped feta & herbs, peruvian grilled octopus, and black angus tenderloin. The smoked chicken and chorizo paella and kimchi porky belly flatbread were a fun take. I personally would pass on the double cheesy smash burger and the short rib & oyster mushroom birria tacos. They were tasty but do yourself a favor and go to a burger or taco joint for these items. Service was attentive and the food came out at a good pace. Definitely check out I.D. There is a little something for everyone on their menu.

The music on the hill is a total bust!.... First of all if your going to host an event of this size and tell people they can't bring drinks in the cooler on the hill ok no problem but have the propert staff and stations to accomedate the crowd. We waited 30 min to get a drink and they couldn't even fill the cup...what a joke. Then we ordered some food and 48 min later still not ready our order of French fries and one taco. There had to be more than 300 people outside and they had one table serving it all. Very poorly planned and we left

While breweries and brew pubs are common, it's a bit more difficult to find a proper cocktail bar in the area. A quick search on yelp led me to I.d., and it was a great recommendation. While it's in the Delafield Hotel, it has a separate entrance and the restaurant bar has a great rustic chic feel to it. The menu has some classics as well their house cocktails, but I really enjoyed the Martinez (with Botanist gin) and a Red Hook (with a Midwest rye) that I requested. The drinks were solid, and I also loved the beautiful stemware. The bartender, Sam, has a great combo of hospitality and skills, and really made my visit enjoyable. I have no idea when I will be back in Delafield, but if I do, I.d. will be my first stop!
