Delicious food, attentive service, and a wonderful intimate experience! The steak was tender and delicious, the salad had an... interesting mix of ingredients, and the cocktails were exquisite. The owner is passionate about delivering a high qualityexperience and that's what you get! Read more

We had dinner at at Besse?s twice in a week. The first visit they were the only place open. That visit we found staff friendly... and food mediocre. We enjoyed cocktails on the deck. We found the salmon very fishy and ribs quite dry. Three days later we?reback with some family and the bartender was nice (he?s leaving next month) and the owner was our server. We told Her about ourrecent experience and suggested we try it again so we?re shared the salmon (charged $5 to give us an extra plate) salmon wasbetter and the rest of the food was pretty good. The owner stood by a table next to ours the entire time we are talking quiteloud about personal items. That was annoying and unprofessional. Her staff works hard and are very friendly Read more

Great view sitting at the bar while having a brandy old fashioned. Chicken liver app was very tender. Reminded me of comfort... food I had growing up. Shrimp app was plump, tasty and perfectly done. Prime rib was excellent and so was the salmon. Had acouple glasses of wine with dinner to round off our evening out. We would highly recommend. Read more

We were in the area for a few days and looking for a good WI. fish fry. We were told this was the place. The fish was ok at best... but there was only two small pieces of cod and one small piece of walleye. Pretty disappointed as there were many other placesrecommended. We also went for the patio but it had rained earlier in the day and nobody had dried off the table and chairs andseemed unwilling to do so. Read more

Enjoyed our first visit to Besse's on Clear Lake. Our server (s) were friendly and attentive. I tried the baby back ribs with... spaeztle , she is had the buttery crusted baked scallops. Refreshing Mojito and an excellent "Wisconsin in a glass" Brandy OldFashioned made it to the table in a timely fashion. Cheese cake squares (just the right size and price /$3 after dinner)rounded out this delicious and fun visit to scenic Clear Lake. Read more

Nice selection of menu items. Main dishes included a soup or salad and a selection of potato options, the mashed red potatoes... were fantastic. Prime rib was tender, juicy with a nice flavorful coating. Tasty bread to go along with the meal. Reasonableprices Read more

Saturday night Prime Rib is Top Notch get there early ???? First time up to the Tomahawk area & had this place saved in my maps.... The bartender was excellent, the new to the scene waitress did a great job & everyone loved their food. Don't be afraid to overtip people as these folks deal with the public & some folks aren't always so nice. Should we make it up there again & betterweather we will have Friday night fish here for sure along with a few drinks outside to enjoy the view. Excellent small businesshere to support ???? Read more
