    Overall this place was good but it wouldn’t be somewhere I recommend for dinner. We went for restaurant week. The French onion soup was ok, not enough sherry in my opinion. I got the lobster Mac and cheese for my main and it was not smooth/creamy at all. Really underwhelming. The cheesecake was fantastic.

    We hadn't been to Cheesetique in a while--what a delicious lunch we had for Restaurant Week! The apps were to die for--cheese curds like no other--GET THESE!! Charcuterie board was nicely offered with GF crackers when I mentioned I'm gluten sensitive, and the French Onion Soup, well my husband was raving about it. The braised short ribs over mashed potatoes was melt-in-your-mouth delish. My husband's steak sandwich was incredible--the steak was perfectly cooked and delicious. Chocolate mousse and cheesecake desserts were just too good to pass up. We'll be back, sooner than later!
