Restaurants near William N Taylor Park

Rye is our go to spot for celebrations and date night. You can’t have a bad meal or experience there. It’s cozy and elegant. Plus, you can’t find any better cheese curds in the whole state of Wisconsin!

Have been to Fratellos many times and it continues to not disappoint. Had the chicken special with Brussel sprouts - excellent. Service was excellent - personable and professional as well. Will be back.

It was very cold in the restaurant. They did have a fireplace, though, which they seated me right next to. Brighton, the bartender, made me a hot toddy, which he calls the "Baby It's Cold Outside". VERY good. He's a terrific bartender, polished and professional. Dovie, the server, was very attentive and really nice. Too bad there was no piano player sitting at the baby grand. Unfortunately the cheese curds were not that great (they did only have one cook though). The salmon and polenta were fabulous.

We chose to eat at Oakwood because Green Lake is halfway between us and another couple. As a resort town, Green Lake is quiet during the winter so the restaurant wasn't busy on a Friday night. We ordered shrimp havarti and potato skins for appetizers, and ribeyes, beef bourguignon, and gnocchi as entrees. The shrimp havarti was delicious and the steaks were large and cooked perfectly. The only complaint is that the potato skins were just that: potato skins, like large not quite done potato chips. We expected them to have toppings like cheese but there was nothing on them.

Food is always great here. Prices are in the higher range, but the food and beverages compensate!
