Overlooking the Wisconsin River and prepared exclusively by our chef and cafe staff, this is an opportunity that is sure to delight! 

Each dinner opens with the reading of a select archival passage to set the scene and features a four-course prix fixe menu highlighting seasonal and local ingredients. A keepsake to remember each unique evening will be provided.
