Norton's of Green Lake

We were with a large wedding party for a rehearsal dinner and this was our venue!  It was pretty good!  I think we arrived early, because we puttered around the top part of the bar for a long time.  The old fashioneds were lovely.  There is a top part of the bar that is set above the rest, so you sit in a regular chair and are pulled up to the bar.  It made me smile.

We were seated in a more private section and the servers were a little huffy, but good nonetheless.  The food we had was all spectacular.  I had bacon wrapped pork chops.  Others had some chicken pesto dish which was fine as well.  We all also had cajun mushroom soup to start, which you would think would have been awful, but it wasn't!

Overall, it was very nice and the best food we had all weekend.  We stayed at Heidel House and if we have to stay there again, we'll try to eat our meals at Norton's instead.

I have been here every year for many years.  The overall experience has declined.  We were there with a large group (most who had been there before) and the general consensus was the same.  The steaks were of poor quality, the crab legs were lousy, and half the time the staff seemed irritated with our business.  The view, the bacon wrapped scallops, and the lobster tails bumped this from one star to two...barely.

I'd recommend stopping for a drink and some scallops if you really want the view or are coming in on a boat, and then do dinner elsewhere.

Fantastic View.  Excellent Bar. Decent Cocktail.....you can see the decline.....the food was lousy.  I am not one to return food, and I did not, but the cook needs some work.

THe staff was nice, there probably is not a better view...but for $100 for 2, two cokatails and two entrees, the food better be very good.  Too much sauce, slightly over done, tasteless soup...
