I don't know if it's the Restaurant Week menu that is throwing them off, but be prepared to spend the evening. It will not be a quick experience.
To top it all off, our waiter never once apologized for our wait. He knew we were getting to make it to the football game at 7. When he finally dropped our bill off at 7:22pm he made the sarcastic comment "I hope you get there before the end of the game". Completely uncalled for.
The good news is, their music is awesome.
Meat upscale but not overly pretentious place. Serve old school cocktails. Had jazz music on a Monday night. Interesting and neat decor in the hotel lobby. Warm fireplace.
Terrific restaurant...fresh, local food, creatively prepared and served by friendly, well informed staff. I ate here every meal I could.
Back again for more, this time for a longer stay at the Oxbow and every meal at The Lakely. Even more impressed with the Chef's commitment to local ingredients and suppliers...the smoked trout cakes were incredible, with a tart apple cabbage slaw and a sweet potato puree. Don't miss this place if you are anywhere close.
Upscale but casual. This place has a great atmosphere. This is one of many nice changes to downtown Eau Claire. We went there for brunch and they actually had live music for it. The food and the service were both good. I highly recommend this place.
Don't go to The Lakely during "Restaurant Week" unless you have several hours to spend. As I write this we just finished our entree. We've been here for two hours. The table next to us got up and left after their appetizer saying they could not wait any longer (they were here almost an hour and a half).
That said, we will most certainly be back. This place has a fantastic hotel and is one menu shakeup away from perfection.
I wanted this restaurant to be a five in every way. And in most ways, it is. The drink / tap selection is incredible. The ambiance is perfect- we played cards and sipped with friends until midnight on a Tuesday. The service was also great- quick, accurate and very accommodating. The food though- such a missed opportunity. The menu seemed great but both the meatloaf sandwich and the large dinner salad seemed a bit tasteless, straight bland- too much bun and not enough savor.
