Cattails Supper Club

Absolutely great experience! The bar staff and owner were so hospitable. Amazing old fashioned on thirsty Thursday day. And the food..... Oh my god! The only thing that topped it off was Bryce!! Over the top service with that guy! Will definitely be back!!!

First time here for us last night. We had Bryce as our server and he knocked it out of the park. My fiance and I both were impressed with the service, so much so we talked about it on the way home. Our main factor for coming back to any establishment is the service. This was the best service we have had in a while and we eat out multiple times during the week.

The steaks were excellent and perfectly cooked. The salad bar had a nice selection as well. Our only recommendation is more seasoning in the sautéed shrimp. Otherwise everything was great.

First time at Cattails. Bartender Macie was not only on point but made sure we never had an empty glass. She definitely likes her job and appreciates her customers. Sitting down Brice was our server. Our orders came out as ordered and everything was perfect. The salad, soup, and potato bar was really good. We definitely will be back. Best dinning experience in quite a while. Cattails your doing it right!

We tried cattails for dinner on a busy Friday night because they are on the Fremont fish/old fashioned contest.

Pros:
Amazing bar staff, there are no bar snacks and with a hungry 6 year old it was a challenge to keep her under control being hungry on a long wait. The extremely gracious bartender was willing to get her some soup to tide her over, all while being completely swamped. Best bar service I've had in years, incredibly thoughtful!

Great traditional Wisconsin supper club atmosphere. Charlie Berens would be proud.

Decent selection of beer and drinks were well poured.

Salad bar was up to par, the potato bar was really great and unique!

Cons:
Initially told a 45min wait turned into 1.5 hours. Which is fine, but he expectations set were not met in this area.

I liked all the food except I didn't really care for the perch or the bluegill. The breading has a unique seasoning, but I think it was pressed in a machine and frozen.

Prime rib is over priced for the area.

Dinning room needs that same supper club vibe that the bar has!

Overall:
We'll go back again if we can get there really early, but I won't get the fish, and I'll probably have a babysitter lined up.

Good kids menu, but be aware there is no pasta on Fridays.

We arrived at 5; the overall bar atmosphere is exactly what you’d hope for in a supper club! The dining room, however, was incredibly cramped. There was no walking room between tables, and at multiple points, those sitting behind us pushed into us trying to get out of their seats. It was incredibly difficult to converse with and hear my party members. I’ve included a picture (faces blurred for privacy) to show some of the spacing issues.

Further, when we went to place our order, several menu dishes were unavailable. This is understandable to an extent, but became tiring trying to select a dish, especially considering the club’s social media presence!

When I asked about the cheese blend for the scallops, the waitress was unclear, and did not offer to check in the kitchen. This isn’t major, but the small items began to add up when it came to our dining experience.

I ordered the Alaskan Salmon; the protein itself was absolutely fantastic! However, the menu promised sautéed kale and veggies on the side, and instead I got raw kale. When I asked about this, the waitress said kale typically wasn’t sautéed; I totally get just opening, but this is an easy menu correction. Another member ordered the burger, and it was literally burnt.

While eating our salads and potatoes, our food came out almost immediately. At a supper club, there’s typically time in between the salad course and meal.

At a supper club, you’re paying for the experience. Having a salad bar or potato bar is a novel experience, but was ultimately disappointing and contradicts being served a plated salad. This would help with pacing.

A few members in my party ordered the tenderloin, which boasted bleu cheese crumbs. They were not present. Additionally, one of the medium well tenderloins was more medium rare, medium, and inedible. We did ask about having the tenderloin remade— the waitress said it wasn’t possible to cook the current steak further (which we get) but she didn’t offer to remake it.

When the waitress asked how the meal was, we voiced some of our concerns; immediately after we said this, the waitress asked if we were ready for the bill, when it was clear several members were still eating. This felt pushy and almost like she wanted us out of the restaurant.

Lastly, the price point currently feels a touch high for the current quality of dishes and atmosphere.

All in all, Cattails (the Maître d' especially) does a great job taking feedback, and it’s clear the supper club is eager to continue refining their menu and atmosphere. Once seating and menu issues are worked through more, I think Cattails will do quite well.
