"We were there to celebrate our anniversary, and had a wonderful experience. Prime Rib was cooked perfectly, my wife's salad was beautifully presented, and the ambiance was outstanding. They helped make this day very special for us."

"When you get snow and cold temps in May, there's no better place to be than in front of the fireplace at Wilderness Ridge. Of course, the ambiance is nice year around as well. We love their outdoor seating in the summer time. Service and food are outstanding. It was loud the night we were there since we were surrounded by five large college graduation parties. It's not normally that loud."

"The service was not good at all. 1 steak had to be sent back for being grossly overcooked. The side orders were not correct and had to be corrected.
They did not charge for the additional sides that were not delivered in the beginning.
The restaurant tried to make up for the poor service by comping some items, but the damage was already done."

"We did enjoy our first experience at Wilderness Ridge. The only thing I was somewhat disappointed in was that much of the food for the brunch was not very hot like I would have expected it, but there was a nice variety. We probably should have ordered an ommellett which I guess would have been hot."

"This was a spectacular dining experience. The atmosphere was impressive the service friendly, competent and knowledgeable and the food was amazing. We brought special friends from out of town to Wilderness Ridge for dinner and they were ecstatic. They said their vegetarian curry was the best they had ever had and the rest of has steaks that were cooked to perfection. We could not have had a better experience anywhere in the midwest."

"Not sure what to say. Food is okay. I think it is expensive for what you get. Meal was wrong, including drinks. They fixed it, but it meant we all ate a different times. It is never a "wow" experience in my opinion. I wouldn't speak negatively about it, but it also wouldn't be our first choice."

THis was definately worth it. The ambiance and service was excellent. My husband ordered his steak well done and it came out perfectly."

"Very disappointed with the outing. We rarely have an opportunity to dine on our own. Typically we are working or unavailable to fully ingest the full dining experience.
Our server presented in a confident manner but quickly became flustered when a few mistakes occurred. Didn't know where orders shoul be placed, incorrectly captured the drink order resulting in a 15 minute delay beginning the meal. He didn't engage the men in an appetizer order which resulted in a loss of business for you. I scanned the dining room but could not find our server. My wife's wine was significantly delayed
The food quality, was commendable, for our area, although there was another mistake. My friend specified an alteration to his meal that was not follow"
