We went to enjoy the pet friendly patio after a race at Road America. Great patio. Our waiter was wonderful. Made excellent drink suggestions and was very attentive. The staff is great. These are the I KY reasons I can give three stars. When it came to our meal we had issues. In an effort to not stay long since we had our puppy with and because our waiter was so nice we didn't say anything, but our food in particular was barely decent. The diners next to us had us envying their salmon special. We ordered a savory Shepherd like pie and the special salad of the day. The pie as I'll call it was quite oily. Flavor was decent but was lacking luster. The salad was really just sad. It was as if the kitchen scraps were added. Some tomatoes cut some not. Lumps of onion in quarters not separated or chopped small enough. Huge chunks of red and green pepper that really threw off the balsamic and basil not in a good way. The salad itself was barely a meal, thankfully I added shrimp. However only three came on the salad, they were not that large and it was a 6 dollar add. Definitely not worth 18 dollars for this salad.
Thankfully our drinks were good. We may be back if in the area on a Sunday when Trattoria Stefanos is closed, but we will stick to what is best from now on. Sorry, just very underwhelmed. We will spend on grest experiences. Very pricey for not...
Read moreMust try, hands down. We've gone both times we've visited Sheboygan, the first at the suggestion of the manager of our hotel. The first thing you notice walking through the door is that they nailed the decor. Dark, warm colors and walls adorned with the perfect balance of history and culture. The staff is attentive, exuberant and kind. As for the food, I come from a city where gourmet pub fare is the standard. I'd all but given up on finding it again upon moving to the midwest, until I had the joy of eating here. Our first visit I had the poutine (the thought of which is making me salivate four months later) and the cottage pie. Both were the best dishes I'd eaten in years. On our more recent visit, I went with one of the daily specials. It was enough to conquer my usually strong aversion to mushrooms. The description sounded too enticing, and I was rewarded for overcoming myself. Kid friendly, like a proper pub. The from-scratch mac & cheese and an actually juicy burger both went down well with my three year old. We will not make another trip to Sheboygan without dining at The...
Read moreDuring a recent visit to the Sheboygan area we decided to stop by the Duke of Devon pub for lunch as my husband is English and wanted a little taste of home. And while the decor was all British and we were delighted to see British fare like chips and curry sauce and HP sauce, the overall experience was one we will not be repeating.
The main reason? Way too expensive! I could not believe the prices. My meal of Gloucester steak and cheese sandwich was $13.95 for an average sized sandwich and some french fries. The bill for two adult meals, two children's meals and 4 drinks for lunch was near $60! There are too many other decent choices for restaurants in the Sheboygan area for these kind of prices for average pub fare.
And on another note, I was slightly put off by the amount of flies flying around our table (indoors). That always makes me wonder about the cleanliness of a restaurant.
Yes, they serve traditional British food and drinks, but in the end it's just...
