"We had visited the Root Note a year ago and were pleased to find vegan options in such a small town. We planned a return visit despite it being a bit out of the way and the somewhat slow service. However upon entering this time I noted the change. Gone were the vegan options. Replaced with vegetarian friendly but very vegan unfriendly crepes. Thankfully their soup of the day was vegan that day but I definitely won't be going out of my way again. And my omni dining date didn't even enjoy his crepe. I am sad to see another vegan-friendly oasis in the land of dairy gone."

This place seems to have fair trade coffee and tea, but no vegan food options as far as I can tell. They had savory crepes the were vegetarian but not vegan. I went in there looking for lunch, but left without eating due to the lack of vegan food options and the apathetic waitstaff.

I stopped here twice on my visit to la crosse. the first time I had an amazing black bean chili. for the second time, to honor the catastrophic summit of helsinki, I had her cremilin crepe. they have a special dough for vegan crepes and added more sweet instead of egg and cheese. I'm not sure why there were so many negative reviews. this place is excellent. I will come back in definitiw.

I visited a friend in lacrosse and was excited to see that there were some vegan options in the city. Unfortunately, apart from their chili, they do not offer vegan options. each crepe had either egg, milk or ice and milk on it. I asked if they were vegan cheese and they did not have this option there is literally an eating coop down the street that Daiya vegan cheese sold. I could have ordered a cream without milk and ice, but it would have been a torn. next time we choose another option.

"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."
