Gardina's Wine Bar & Cafe

Great place in downtown Oshkosh. Love stopping in here to grab a quick beer and bite to eat. They have a excellent rotating selection of craft beers and I can always find something new to try. Panini's are good, have had both the pear, brie and honey as well as the black and blue. My favorite part though may be the cheese and wine shop in the back. One of the few places I can find some of my favorite cheeses like Pleasant Ridge Reserve and Sartori Montemore.

Our favorite place when we're in the area. Dean the bartender is super friendly and they have an excellent wine selection. The risotto is to die for. We have a cottage nearby and when we need a great meal, we stop here and always leave happy. The live jazz (no cover) is a huge plus too.

Gardina's would be a really decent restaurant in a city like Milwaukee, Madison or Minneapolis; in Oshkosh it is magnificent.  

I had a panini that was pretty enjoyable, though just a little bit bland.  Fruit cobbler for dessert was tasty.  Very good beer list.  Very pleasant/capable/knowledgeable server.  Nice decor.  

Next time the gods punish me with a weekend in Oshkosh, I'll spend the whole time here.
