If you are looking for the most romantic and relaxing evening or weekend of your life you must go to Canoe Bay. It is truly a remarkable place, so remarkable, in fact, that it is part of the Relais & Chateaux collection!
The rooms are fabulous. We recommend that you stay at the Rattenbury or the Edgewood. Both are very expensive, but if you want to really have a special occasion, take the hit and fork over the cash.
As we said the rooms are beyond incredible, but they don't compare to the food at their restaurant. I'd like to give you details of the meal, but it changes from day to day. All I can say is that if we were to give this restaurant stars, there would not be enough.
We have one complaint, you can only get the prefix menu, which is okay in itself, we like when the food is picked for us. The problem is, we felt a little slighted. We like having a appetizer, salad, main course and desert. To be truthful we both could do without the desert, but this is the order we like. If they throw in an amuse bouche that adds to the evening, but when you only get three courses it does not seem right. Also, every night we were there we had the same bread.
Overall though, the food was fantastic. We are just a little picky.
By the way, the service is fantastic and the view priceless. If you have an opportunity to go here, don't skip it!

Charcoal Grill and Rotisserie - Kenosha, WI
We have been dining at this restaurant for years, mainly for lunch. They have the best chicken dumpling soup in the area.
Last night we decided to go there for a quick, inexpensive dinner. We enjoy rotisserie chicken and they are not many places in Kenosha that serve chicken cooked this way.
My first question is: why has the Kendall Jackson salesman not been in there? I think a restaurant should have more than one brand of wine, especially if half the restaurant is a bar. I hate having cheap wine as my only choice. Not that KJ is my favorite, it's one step up from what they serve.
We started with the chicken dumpling soup and it was not as good as the hundred other times we've had it. Something was totally different about it.
Our server brought out our entrees while we were still eating our soup, which is a hugh pet peeve of ours. She apologized as she arrived at the table, but our feeling is that she just should have waited.
Now we realized that not only was the soup different, but the quality of our entrees was not up to the standards we've come to expect from this restaurant. Plus they have removed all the sauces that they used to have on the tables, so I had to ask for BBQ sauce for my chicken and she brought it in a small bowl. I don't believe it was Sweet Baby Rays, which is what used to be on the table. You may think this is minor, but I've been putting that sauce on most sandwiches I've ever ordered there.
The vegetables were a green been and carrot saute and it was horrible. I can't even begin to tell you why. The taste was nothing I've ever had before. It didn't look like there was a sauce, but the carrot didn't even taste like a carrot and I wasn't even going to try a green bean.
I hope this change isn't permanent. I'd hate to write this restaurant off.
