"Twar was waiting a bit... the place was with people this morning. But man, it was worth it. When I said that a place was my favorite breakfast in the past, I'm sorry, but it's just because I haven't eaten here yet. I had my usual cookies and Gravy, two eggs sunny side up with coffee and one side of Jalapeno-Bacon... but this order was anything but usual. It turned me into a breakfast type is what it did. The man was delicious. Someone in the kitchen knows what they do (in contrast to the packers against the Vikings opened for their season this afternoon). My daughter had a standard aid of eggs, toast, hash browns and sausage, while her college roommates enjoyed a healthy order of the stacked French toast. We'll be back here, regardless of the waiting time. It was worth it. I'll tell you, friend... wait for it. Just wait for her!!!"

"Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm more excited about: my birthday or anniversary or the fact I get to eat at the Waterfront. Nothing makes me as happy as knowing I'm about to experience impeccable service, exceptional food, and an elegant surrounding. The menu allows me to experience food I've only ever seen on the Food Network. The first time I tried escargot I wanted to scream with delight. The servers are amazing- they are all extremely knowledgeable about the menu and can even pronounce everything properly (haha). Before you even enter the building, you're greeted by the warm lights wrapped around the trees and the fountain. Inside, the decor makes you really feel like a VIP guest. But what really matters is the food- and the chefs hit the mark. With proteins perfectly cooked, vegetables re-imagined, sauces perfectly balanced, soups that taste like they have a million layers, and specialty creations like avocado gelato that makes you actually stop and think about what you're eating, I will look forward to every birthday or anniversary for years to come as long as I am lucky enough to dine at the Waterfront."

"Honestly almost hate to review and give away our secret place...but the staff deserve it. From the time we are greeted at the bar with spot on wine recommendation to the time we leave the restaurant we are treated with the best service in La Crosse. I get such a kick out of my 'hunter husband ' saying 'this meal is to die for ' every time we go there. The prime rib with gorgon zola crust and medallions were literally the best meal we have had in a long time. Call ahead for a booth for the ultimate intimate dinner. Our favorite hidden gem. Thank you Dewey..waiter and the amazing bartender for getting us into a booth and new favorite wine!"

"I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. I have dined here a few times before and the service and food were always outstanding. However, this time was a complete letdown. We made a reservation after a recommendation from the UW La Crosse department, but when we arrived, they had forgotten to write it down. We were seated at a dirty table in the bar area, and the overall cleanliness of the floors and bathrooms was subpar. It took 35 minutes for our drinks to arrive, and our food took 1.5 hours to be served. When it finally arrived, the food was cold and the baked carrots were undercooked. I felt sorry for our waitress who was doing her best to rectify the situation, but the bartender was extremely rude. Two men who were seated behind us even left after he failed to make their drinks. One of the girls working there had to step in and make the drinks herself. To top it off, another girl behind the bar was seen vaping. This experience was a major disappointment and I will not be returning."

"Buzzard Billy's came recommended by the bartender at Pearl Street Brewery just up the road and boy did she know what she was talking about! From the time we walked in the door to the time we walked back out the door, the experience was top notch! Service was genuine, friendly and welcoming and the food was out of this world delicious!! Hubby had the Cajun Combo with the addition of dirty rice and he was blown away by all the flavors and portions! We've been to Louisiana and didn't have food this good, these folks totally know what they're doing! I had the Ca C'est Bon (Saw-Say-Bon) and I swear it was the best meal I've ever had in my life! The Cajun catfish is phenomenal and the sauce that the fried potatoes soak in is worthy of awards! The bread is a slice of heaven, all buttery and crunchy, fresh and soft but that corn... wow... what's with that corn... so good!! There are two other locations of Buzzard Billy's, both on our travel map journey if we're ever in the area. I sure hope we get back to this location some day because I will forever crave this meal!"
