A best-kept secret, hidden gem! What an amazing laid back, comfortable atmosphere. The food was next level! Farm to table &... vegan options. This is a new favorite for sure! Read more
Wonderful curated menu with local ingredients. The chef clearly puts a lot of attention to detail in the execution of the... dishes. I got the sablefish and it was light and buttery with no hints of fish grease that can sometimes plague similar dishes.The steak had a deep char flavor and was a perfect medium rare. We got all the appetizers and they were great. Patio was cozyand comfortable and staff was warm and inviting. Highly recommend. Read more

Always delish! Love the seasonality, local flavors, and interesting combinations the menu has to offer. The house made pastas... and desserts are too good to miss. Well everything is that good honestly-just try it!..The farmhouse chic decor, fantastic patio(hoping the igloos make a reappearance this winter!), and charming staff make the experience just right. They even use a localpotter (#LaCrosseClayCenter) for all their dishware! Keep up the great work, RPH! Read more
From the second we walked into Restore, we felt welcomed by the servers and the indoor space, which seemed super cozy and... inviting. The patio, where we chose to eat, also had excellent ambiance. We got the old fashioned and a cucumber gin drink,both of which were nicely balanced. I'd highly recommend the cucumber gin drink while the weather's still warm - it was superlight and refreshing. I got the stuffed piquillo peppers and the roasted cauliflower. The cauliflower was definitely the star -the buffalo sauce was just the right amount of spicy and tangy, and the texture of the cauliflower was wonderful. The piquillopeppers were good, but I'd probably explore other items on the menu before revisiting them, and I'd be interested to see thatrecipe played with a little more, because it definitely has promise! My partner got the halibut, and I'm so glad he did,because it was some of the best fish I've had all year. The halibut itself was beautifully flaky, tender, and lightly butmasterfully seasoned, and I could have eaten a whole bowl of the quinoa English pea salad. We had the cheesecake for dessert.For whatever reason, I feel like many restaurants fall short with their cheesecake, but that was certainly not the case here. Itwas lightly bruleed on top and came with strawberries, and eating it reminded me of home in the best way. We will definitely beback! Read more
We went here on opening night and it was amazing. The food is very intentional and well done. I got the 72-hour beef and I could... hardly believe it was beef. The inside of the restaurant is nice to and is very similar to The Mint, which used to be locatedhere. I look forward to returning to this restaurant and having more of the great food. Read more
The St. Joe strip was delicious. Service was wonderful. A small cozy place for an impromptu date!
