The Lakely

Loved this spot! It's tough to get a good drink in eau Claire but if you want one this is it. Fantastic cocktails and service. When we went they had live jazz music and the band was fantastic! I would go back in a heartbeat!

Stopped for a cocktail, sat outside in the patio on a perfect night. Service was very slow even though the place was rather empty. Severs were more than polite, though, once they stopped. After ordering cocktails (which were all delicious-I had the Cosmo), we chatted for a bit but no staff came over to check on our party of six. No second round for us since we were already there for over an hour with no check-ins. Eventually had to go into bar to pay our bill with no apologies given. May stop again, not sure. Make sure you have LOTS of time if you go!

Really love the vibe here! Was staying at the hotel so it was convenient to just come eat (plus they give you a BOGO drink token with your stay). It was only the restaurant week menu. Food was solid, I was most impressed with the drink and atmosphere though, which I loved! It was also open mic night!

The koldbordt was pretty amazing and the drinks were delicious. Their bartenders and runners were totally overwhelmed most of the night. But the real star is the outdoor space! Lots of different seating types, fire pits for late night, and a shady pergola. Live music inside was not my jam, but I wish there had been some music outside, too.

Best Sunday Brunch. The menu is unique and really great. Beautiful outdoor patio and nice atmosphere.

I came here on a Tuesday night for open mic. I had the best time with all my friends and seeing the comedians and musicians perform. I got an NA cocktail and it was delicious! I love how anybody from the community can sign up to play at the open mic. Some of the comedians were hit or miss but still it was fun to be there. I didn't try any of the food but when I go back, it's definitely something I plan to do.

Wonderful place for breakfast! Great atmosphere, food, and service. We didn't wait long till someone asked what we'd like to drink as well as food. Waitress was great to give recommendations on items they liked as well as other customers liked. Food came out quickly and was delicious! Looking forward to coming back on our next trip to Chippewa Falls!

Very cool little restaurant in the Oxbow Hotel.We had brunch this morning before leaving the hotel. Service was OK. Not great but not terrible. It was comfortable pace -- sometimes I like a faster pace in the morning.I had the Belgian waffle with blueberries. It was really good. I would get it again for sure.My wife the quiche with spinach, mushroom, and red pepper with potatoes. She liked it. Portion size was on the smaller size.My son had the omelet. Portion size was on the smaller size -- certainly smaller than we are used to in the Chicago area.We shared the biscuits and gravy -- which might have been the star of the breakfast. :) They were super good.I'd say that menu is a bit limited. Half of the menu was drinks, which we didn't have any prior to getting on the road for home.We'll be back.

Eau Claire, Wi.This place is located in the Ox Bow Hotel and has kind of an upscale vibe. We came for an early dinner so we were seated immediately. The simple salad was just that, small and simple with fresh greens and a very tasty vinaigrette. The asparagus soup was amazing with a dab of lemon garlic creme fraiche. The hamburger was on the small plates menu but it was a normal size burger. The burger was delicious but probably does not make my top ten. The puck was cooked a perfect medium well. The meat had a fine grind which gave it a very tender yet unusual texture. The taste of the 1/2 inch patty was excellent, probably premium beef. The brioche bun was not protected on the bottom by a leaf of lettuce so it got a bit soggy. The lettuce was shredded and piled above the puck and had very little function, taste or moisture control. The grilled mushrooms were a real plus, rich tasting and not mushy. Swiss cheese was ample but not overpowering, The chicken pot pie: So good. No it doesn't come out in an aluminum pie tin, but rather a very nice pastry shell. Featured really fresh veges and shredded chicken in a very light gravy. Again, an item from the small plates menu that was not at all small. Chocolate cake was dense but not too sweet. On top, a toasted creme anise chantilly. On the side a coffee simple syrup. A nice chocolate dessert experience. The waitress asked "How is everything tasting?" I really hate that. But she only asked once and was so sweet she gets a pass, even if she forgot my wife's coffee. This was good because the wife realized it would be unwise to have coffee at that hour. Upon return for Fathers Day brunch we both ordered quiches, meat and meatless versions. They were unlike any quiche I have ever tried, thick egg pie with no discernible cream or cheese that makes a typical quiche so good. Stephanie took both quiches and ate the topping off them. I summoned the waiter and ordered an omelette with smoked trout. The egg was thin and almost crepe like. Lots of spinach in there but not at all objectionable. I enjoyed it. I fully expected to pay for my quiche. However they deducted the cost of my quiche AND did not charge me for the omelette. A magnanimous gesture indeed.

Pretty meh. Food and service one step up from Applebees. Tasteless steak and pasta (who puts cukes in pasta?? Decent fries and good drinks. Disinterested and not welll informed server asked another table what was in a dish.
