The Summit Restaurant & Cocktails

My first visit to The Summit to celebrate my husband's birthday. We went on a weeknight and sat in a cozy booth. He ordered the Filet and it was cooked to perfection. He let me taste one bite and it melted in my mouth. I ordered the salmon filet and was delicious. I started with the lobster bisque which was broth based with chunks of lobster. They have a full wine/cocktail offering. I really appreciated their wine menu with a little "cheat sheet" explaining all the wines and the order of their sweetness-dryness. Aside for the amazing food was the service. Service was EXCEPTIONAL. We were greeted warmly by Olivia who welcomed us and seated us promptly and came back to check on us. Our server Avanti was amazing. She had a friendly demeanor and checked back with us several time. We loved the fresh bread and "secret recipe" dipping sauce. It's been a long time since I've been greeted with complimentary fresh bread and the most amazing dipping sauce. We could not help ourselves we ate a 2nd loaf. Because it was a Birthday we had to sample 2 of the desserts. The chocolate chip cookie in a skillet served warm with vanilla ice cream was so good but it was a hard to say if it was better than the mile-high cheesecake made from scratch. WE will definitely be back with my folks for dinner. It's rare to find such restaurant with ambiance, service and food all hitting the mark. It was a wonderful night. We will be back.

Great steaks in a quaint little restaurant. Bar area nice gathering spot after a full day at the office.

Wow...If you wanna taste the salt of the ocean then the fish fry here will hit that mark! Waaay too salty! The fish fry used to have decent size pieces of fish a few years ago and now it's flat and doesn't even stack up to 1 piece from Culvers which is sad given the price Summit charges. The coleslaw was boring and the 1/2 dixie size cup of tartar sauce was nowhere near enough to cover up the salty fish. Let's face it...at this point the fries were better and never really needs to be mentioned. NO Lemon slices and NO butter for the bread...but the 2 thumb size slices prolly didn't matter anyway. Overall...don't bother with their "fish fry". Moving on from this disappointment. Their kitchen looks like a disaster area as well. At least the young lady at the window was nice

The food was delicious and the service was great until we paid our bill. Once we paid the bill the waitress forgot about our table. We were drinking, having dinner and we needed a "take out" container, we couldn't find the waitress. The restaurant was near closing and we couldn't find anyone in the restaurant other than another table with customers. We waited for 30 minutes before I decided the call the restaurant on my cell phone. I called and the waitress comes out of nowhere. I got up to wave to her and she just keeps walking by. I chase after her only to find her sitting in the dark, in another room and she was on her phone. I just wanted to take my leftovers home and enjoy my night, not chase after staff members just for a container. I was so disappointed.

Just had the drive thru Cod dinner. The best it has been in a long time. The fries tasted different and very good. The fish is why we have kept coming back for years. Curiously, the lines in the drive thru have been minimal since they removed the neon sign showing the way around the building. It wasn't put back after the roofing was replaced. Don't know if it is a coincidence but.....

Went for Thanksgiving dinner with my family. Reservations were useless, but we had them. They were busy and like every restaurant in town, they were tight on staff. But, as is true of many restaurants in our town amongst others everywhere, they bust their tails. Hard work and the inevitable impatience that others seem obligated to point out, didn't stop the small team that they had. Dinner was good, two of us had turkey special and two had steaks. The steaks were beautiful and tasty to say the least. Not to be overly critical, as the product portions of the turkey dinners seemed small for the price of $31.00 each.Regardless, we celebrated with family together and the restaurants and staff were GREAT to work with!! Dinner was delicious and we will definitely dine there again soon.

I've eaten at the summit a few times although haven't been there in a while. The food was pretty darn good. Steak sandwich is excellent! Also the fillet with onion rings on top was delicious and cooked to perfection. (Med). My GF had some sort of Asian inspired salad and she loved it. I'd def go back if it wasn't so out of my way but if I happen to be around I'll stop in.

I wrote this restaurant this email regarding the quality of the Mother's day brunch I took my mom to Sunday the 8th of May, 2022. I had been waiting for some sort of response, but to no avail so I am posting the email here so that I can perhaps get some sort of response from management or ownership.To whom it may concern,In an effort to provide my mom a great experience for her special day, I asked her to decide where she would like to go for a memorable brunch/lunch. She chose your establishment as we had been there for Mother's Day a few years ago and she really enjoyed the experience.I don't usually reach out to places if I've had a substandard experience when dining as there are usually some saving graces within the visit that will make up for whatever downfall. This time however, there was nothing saving today's visit.To start, we had a reservation for the afternoon but had to wait another 10 to 15 minutes past the reservation while other parties were seated ahead of us. After being seated, my mom asked our server if the brunch buffet menu was the only thing available to choose from as she was hoping to order the duck. We were told that the brunch menu was our only option which we understood, but feel that should be indicated when placing the reservation. Our server was fairly gracious when explaining this but unapologetic. When we decided to peruse the selections, all of the items that were available looked as if they had been in the chafers or under the heat lamps for some time, were lukewarm, and generally unappetizing. Some options were unavailable such as the tempura chicken and the vegetable medley. The prime rib was extremely fatty and flaccid, the garlic mashed potatoes were goopy, the one bites or tapas style starters looked as if they had sat there since the a.m., and the dessert table was riddled with pre-prepared items that could have been found at the local grocery store freezer.Having worked in the food service industry for over 30 years, I am embarrassed for you. I am also embarrassed and upset with myself that I didn't grab my mom's hand and walk out to find somewhere else to patron. It is quite obvious to me that your restaurant has declined in quality and service. I will have a hard time giving your establishment any more chances to impress and would appreciate a partial if not full refund to make up for this visit that is memorable for all the wrong reasons.To reach out, my name is Darren Kruse. Our reservation time was for 130pm for 2,  and our bill came to 103.43 w/o tip. I have attached a copy.I honestly hope that the Summit can recover from this decline as it has been an iconic destination in Racine since I can remember and it would be a shame to see another business close in our city.Looking forward to your response.Sincerely,Darren Kruse​Get Outlook for Android

Got engaged in this restaurant's parking lot. The food took over 40 minutes for a shrimp appetizer to arrive and even longer yet the entrées. My steak was over cooked, which I complained about but did not send back because waiting over 90 minutes after ordering my food only for it not to be correct, I was not going to keep waiting. THE MANAGER left, and returned then TOOK MY PLATE AND HELD IT UNDER THE DUSTY LIGHT AND A FLASH LIGHT TO SHOW ME I WAS WRONG ABOUT MY MEDIUM STEAK. We've been married for almost 10 years. We've NEVER been back and never will. An y function I've been invited to here has been declined. I'll never spend another penny in this place. If thay manager hadn't screwed it up so badly, I'm sure we'd have been back regularly to celebrate our anniversary. After the awful experience inside, my now husband still proposed to me outside because it was such a disaster. He could've warned them about his plan to propose but shouldn't have to ask for special service to not be treated this way. I can hardly believe they're still in business!

Great Job! We were lucky enough to be able to get a seat for dinner at the Summit Restaurant food and Cocktail, we had the Opportunity to Dine in the Summit Restaurant again! By chance we'd been out there shopping and needed some place for dinner Got a reservation on the fly and we had the Best Food and Service again steaks and seafood were delicious and drinks were great and we enjoyed ourselves
