THE RUMPUS ROOM

This restaurant is part of the excellent Bartolotta Group, which has already proven itself in Milwaukee and includes the very fine Lake Park Bistro. The Rumpus Room focuses on local cuisine, where you can sample the famous cheese curds or, if you're a group, opt for a platter featuring Wisconsin cheeses. Even more original is the beer and cheese soup, in which you dip a pretzel! The room, with its long wooden bar, has a little saloon side that is not unpleasant.
