Waves Grill & Pub, Racine, WI

Don't let the outside fool you, we almost did. We saw an blip about this restaurant on the Internet and decided to drive over there one night. From the outside it looks like a local bar. We almost did not go in. Once inside it looks more like a small seaside inn. With a nautical atmosphere and some cozy booths it is warm and inviting.

The food was exceptional and the service staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The spicy crab salad and the filet medallions with gorganzola sauce are high on our list of things to get.

We have been to this restaurant at least ten times now and we have run into a few kinks now and then. One time we sat for 15 minutes waiting for someone to serve us. We actually had to get up to get our server. She thought we were waiting for a third person, but either way, shouldn't we be offered something to drink while we wait? Once we got that taken care of the service was fantastic.

Another time someone kept opening the back door of the restaurant behind the kitchen and the entire restaurant smelled like rotting garbage. I think something was said and the smell cleared up.

If you drink wine, I would recommend getting a bottle. Their pours are small.

Even with these little complaints we love this place. We do recommend you get a reservations, they fill up fast.
