   We were the first customers of the day and greeted very kindly upon entry. Sat at the bar to enjoy a happy hour beverage. Our bartender and server, James, was quick to take our drink and app order - the Mediterranean Flatbread - SO delicious. At this time, the restaurant was getting busier and James was rocking it behind the bar and serving tables! For dinner, we ordered a Caesar Salad, Lobster Bisque, Autumn Airline Chicken Breast with added Wild Mushroom Medley and Mushroom Risotto. Everything was perfect! I was torn between the Risotto and Garlic Chive Mashed Potatoes and told James to surprise me. Glad he did because the Mushroom Risotto was the best I’ve had yet - so velvety and cheesy with tons of mushrooms and just enough richness to keep you going back for more. Highly recommend this restaurant! And shout out to James for great service!

   Everything was fantastic. We chose this restaurant on a whim while we were in town for work for a night and we definitely made the right choice. Our server (Scott, I think?) was fantastic and the food was amazing. If we are ever back in the Janesville area, it will be the first stop on our list.

   I eat at Wissota about once/month and the food and service are consistently good. On this visit I particularly enjoyed the Cesar salad, which I've had before, but that I think has been elevated by the addition of a nice sized parmesan crisp on top, some sliced cherry tomatoes, a few black olives, and white sardines. I asked my server if they've changed how they make it recently and he said no, so it's possible my memory is just bad. Regardless, it was delicious and also a good sized portion. It could easily make a light meal if paired with an appetizer. The jumbo prawns in garlic butter were also especially good. They are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked so as not be be dry or tough as sometimes happens at other restaurants. Another very pleasant meal.

   Unfortunate experience. This would have been our 4th visit and in the past it’s been a good experience. Unfortunately we sat at the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail and other than getting a menu put in front of us, we were ignored. The bartender was obviously behind and was having a problem making a cocktail and I accepted that and waited patiently. After 10 minutes he finished that cocktail and instead of taking our order he went to the next “slip” behind the bar. They were understaffed obviously but not even acknowledging us or apologizing for the delay was not acceptable for me. After 15 minutes of being ignored, we walked out and will not return.

   I’m really sorry to hear about your recent experience—it’s certainly not the standard we strive for. It’s disappointing to learn that you were ignored at the bar and that we fell short in acknowledging the delay. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and will address this issue with our team to ensure better service in the future. I understand your frustration, and I’m truly sorry that we lost you as a customer. If you’re open to giving us another chance, I’d love the opportunity to make things right. Thank you for sharing your experience.

   I dine here regularly and the service is consistently good. They have a nice selection of wines by the glass and craft beers on tap. My caprese salad to start was very tasty and an ample portion. The drizzle of both pesto and balsamic tied it all together nicely. The seared scallops were on the small side and overly salted, but not terrible. I appreciate that sides can all be ordered as half portions and I enjoyed the grilled asparagus with hollandaise. It was another good meal and I’ll be back.

    Found this place as a spur of a moment and want to find it was enjoy the filet mignon that was cooked to perfection the fried olives for an appetizer super yummy and then, of course, we wrapped it up with the raspberry tiramisu. The staff was awesome. The food was wonderful. The ambience was terrific and I would definitely recommend this place.
