Whistling Straits Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of Mosel

My first time here was with my wife for our wedding anniversary. Having been to most of the other Destination Kohler restaurants, we were excited to try this one. The restaurant is on the smaller side, which bodes well for it's atmosphere. We had a booth with a window overlooking the golf course. Noise level was excellent. Some restaurants can be too loud, but we were able to talk at a normal level and carry a normal conversation. Service was a little on the slower side, but that's understandable with the quality of food you're getting. The food is outstanding. The kitchen staff did an excellent job preparing our dishes. To be completely honest, the scallops were THE BEST scallops I have ever had. The food portions you get, paired with the quality of food, were well priced. The restaurant is on the pricier side (starting ~$50 for an entrée), but I felt the price was worth it (which you don't see much nowadays).

The disappointing part, and the reason I'm only rating 3 stars, is because our server did not box our food, but instead threw it away. When we were finish with our entrées, she came over and asked "Can I take those for you?" referencing our half-eaten dishes. Mind you we were deep in conversation, thoroughly enjoying our anniversary date night. We politely smiled, said yes, and thanked her, assuming she was taking our half eaten plates to be boxed in the back like most other nice restaurants do. Both my wife and I had only eaten half of our plates because we also had an appetizer and shared a cup of soup before the entrées. After splitting a desert, we received the check but no leftovers. We were pretty disappointed because we were excited to finish the delicious food. When we asked where our remaining food was, she replied "Oh.. you wanted the food on your plate?", said in a way like what we were asking was appalling and should never had been asked. So she essentially just threw away half of our food and we still got charged the full amount. If the prices were like $10 an entrée, I wouldn't have cared. But my wife and I don't go out a lot just the two of us, and we really only dine at more expensive restaurants like Whistling Straits when it's a special event (like our anniversary). All we got out of our visit tonight was to eat half of the amazing food we paid for and a nice little "Happy anniversary" from the hostess. I don't expect special treatment for special occasions, but it's nice once in a while when a restaurant goes out of it's way for their guests, especially to resolve a situation caused by an server. Most of the night I was thinking "I can't wait to come back here again." But if the servers throw half eaten plates away instead of boxing them and don't even offer to try and make the situation right, I can't justify spending my money at this restaurant...

We arrived around 4:40, 20 minutes before dinner. Upon entering, there was one booth occupied. The young receptionist (Paige) told us that they were booked full for dinner. After talking to her she said we could stay as long as we could be finished in 1 hr. 15 mins. which of course was fair. We were given the lunch menu and I planned on ordering the soup and wedge salad. However, our server came to our table at 4:45 and said that we could order off of the dinner menu, dinner started at 5:00 pm. I decided to order the fish tacos and my husband the fish and chips. The fish tacos arrived and it's a dish I love, but this was the first time I have been served the fish cut into tiny square pieces and deep fried! Are they serious? I told the receptionist that I don't eat deep fried food and she said that I should always say that, but upon reading the description of this item on the menu, nowhere did it mention that the fish was deep fried! Our server (Sarah) said she understood and I ordered the soup and wedge salad. The wedge came with the lettuce, some thick cold little pieces of bacon, tomato, and tiny onions. It was the worst wedge I have ever had, not a sign of any bleu cheese anywhere. My husband's fish was overcooked. The setting is wonderful, as anyone who has been there...

I accidentally stumbled into this restaurant while driving to the other restaurant and found out that one is close. Let's say, of you go to this one, make sure you drive to club house of this exclusive and beautiful golf course. I decided to eat on the patio since it was a nice day, but the inside of the restaurant is also very elegant. The view outside is definitely beautiful with over look the golf course itself. The facility is clean, server is great. The staff made me feel welcome even before I arrived the restaurant. The host helped me to get to the restaurant from outside, then when I walked she immediately recognized and welcome me. The waitress Michelle was super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The food are great. I had a beer and the waitress also brought me a sample of the other beer to try. I order the lamb dish, potato leak soup, both of those dish were great. Presentation and taste both excess my expectations. The bread were brought out before my dishes came out were on point. I also decided to order the cheesecake as dessert to go and it was good but I think if I was eating at the restaurant I would have a better experience. I would recommend this place to someone wants to get away and just treat yourself to a good food and...
