McGregor's Blink Bonnie Supper Club — Restaurant in Town of Saint Germain

I hadn't eaten at Blink Bonnie in a decade but had fond memories of the delicious steaks. What an incredible disappointment. We ate here last week and the meal was so terrible I doubt I will ever return.

First we sat, parched & waiting at our empty table, for 30 mins while waitstaff, bussers, and the hostess walked right past us & ignored us even though our table was right in the middle of the room. This after standing outside waiting for over an hour! The table seated after us had their steaks before we ordered anything more than drinks!

Old fashioneds were excellent. One salad was made incorrectly. Onion rings were burnt. The cheeseburger was ridiculous, the patty was maybe 3 inches in diameter and almost 2 inches high. It was impossible to eat & the bun to meat ratio was way off. My niece said the accompanying fries had no taste.

We ordered 2 ribeye & lobster tail combo dinners. What they did to our ribeyes was criminal. Both ribeyes were terribly underdone (Mine was purple & ice cold raw, not the medium rare I ordered. The other was rare to medium rare instead of medium.) Both were completely tasteless. They were grey on the outside, zero browning, zero flavor. The waitress was clearly annoyed I brought the raw steak to her attention. I didn't have the steak returned to the kitchen because I knew it would come back well done. There was no offer of comping the appetizer or offering a free dessert for our obviously screwed up expensive ribeye steaks.

One hashbown was so burnt it was black & the waitress just brushed it off as how people like them. I like crispy hashbrowns but this was a charcoal briquet. The lobster tails were just ok, and, of course, they don't give you clarified butter. The best part of the meal was the bread, which was excellent. That's a sad thing to say about a 3 person meal costing $250.

90% of my ribeye is in the freezer. I'm too cheap to throw out such an expensive steak but I really don't want anything to do with it. I gave the remaining half of my so-so lobster tail to the dog. He got the cheeseburger too because my niece rightly refused to eat the leftover half. There are way too many excellent supper clubs in the northwoods to waste your money at...

The draw of McGregor’s is the tradition, experience, and service. If you’re going to line up before open bring your tailgate accessories (chair and drinks) and be prepared for the earliest arrivals to have sent a designated representative so the line may grow at the front closer to open. (And if you’re sending a designated waiter, buy that person another drink when inside! :) ) The solo bartender deserves a medal for doling good drinks out timely and working with the patrons waiting for tables. Bread came out piping hot and crispy. Salads are a nice starter but agreed with other reviewers it’s an iceberg lettuce based salad dressed up with bacon bits, croutons, and crunchy pretzel type bits. House dressing was a garlic ranch. Ordered a 7 oz filet mingon and ribeye. The filet was tender and cooked well but if you’re looking for your seasoned, Chicago style steakhouse flair, look elsewhere. The ribeye wouldn’t be a repeat order based on cut and lack of seasoning. Had an added order of broiled shrimp on the side of ribeye and this was this guest’s favorite part of the meal being seasoned and cooked well. Ordered steak fries and baked potato as sides which were pretty ordinary. Saw several orders of hashbrowns so these likely are the popular choice of potato. Prices were fair and overall pleasant meal. A recommended experience for families who are open to applying a vacation mentality in waiting and if you’ve been missing out on that large family holiday get together...
