Bucket list... check! Every year this place is voted as the "best of" everything as far as food, atmosphere and beverages are concerned, so I can't believe it took me this long to finally eat here! Turned off by the summer wait times of 3+ hours, my wife and I decided to try a mid-week after Labor Day visit. It was perfect! About a 45 minute wait, which gave us enough time to enjoy a couple of AWESOME Old Fashion's and check out the building and grounds. Once our buzzer went off we were seated at a table facing Mirror Lake. Ordered some more drinks and our meal. Everyone in the place from bartender to waitresses are super friendly and the dining area, though very busy, seemed like you are eating in a cabin in the north woods. First we shared a crock of French Onion Soup which we loved. Great flavor and the baked cheese was excellent! For our main courses my wife had what I think was called the seafood sampler. It had everything! Lobster tail, salmon, scallops and shrimp. All decent sized portions, and she loved them all! I had a bite of each, and I'd have to say the scallops and lobster were spectacular. I ordered the Prime Rib and Prawns, which was also pretty amazing. I loved the prawns, they split open and baked to perfection. Prime Rib was good, but maybe not the very best I've had, but still up there! Overall this was not just a great meal, it was an experience! One that every foodie, or Wisconsin "Supper Clubber" should experience. Does not disappoint!

Went for the first time. Loved the property, the drinks and the food. Be prepared to wait but totally worth it! A wonderful dining experience!

Food is delicious, service was amazing and the ambience can't be beat! The lake is so soothing and peaceful!

We were in the Dells over the weekend and planned ahead to make a stop at Ishnala to have dinner on Saturday night. We have been here once before for drinks and apps outside, but this time we knew we absolutely had to make it inside for dinner and since we had just received a gift card for our anniversary, this was top of the to-do list. First off, as everyone else mentions, the wait is insane. So if you're planning on coming here for dinner, prepare to clear your whole afternoon so you can plan to eat dinner at a decent time. The outside bar opens at 2:30, the restaurant at 3. We arrived at 3:15 and needed to utilize the overflow parking and get shuttled in. Our wait time we were told would be about 2- 2 1/2 hours. We knew it would be about this long so we made sure to bring a cribbage board and few decks of playing cards to help keep us occupied. We were able to snag a table up top, in the shade, and promptly a waitress came and took our drink and appetizer orders. The old fashioneds were awesome, and the shrimp for the shrimp cocktail were delicious. Once inside and at our table most of us ended up ordering the Ishnala Red, had we of known 3 of the 4 of us were going to order that we'd have gotten a bottle! The red was very good, it has Syrah in it so it pairs nicely with the filet. Our table ordered the cheese curds and escargot for our inside appetizers. Both were amazing. I wished I had looked at other yelp reviews prior to coming (rookie mistake!) because then I'd have found out about the yummy mustard cheese spread that was coming and the yummy warm bread basket that had little mini cinnamon rolls in it! For my main entree I tried the special of the night, the Vineyard Filet. A beautiful 7 oz filet with a red sauce, topped with sundried tomatoes & goat cheese. This was amazing, the filet was absolutely incredible. I'd have been perfectly content with just the filet and the sauce without the extra toppings. For my sides I also had the wedge salad and au gratin potatoes. Both are amazing. Something to note though, the wedge salad is an extra $5, wasn't quite expecting that but no complaints as it was delicious. My husband ordered the same thing as me, I guess I know how to order well :) Would we come back? Maybe. For drinks and apps outside, absolutely. For dinner? It was hands down one of the most delicious dinners I've had all year, but that long wait outside really makes it hard for me to make it worth it. Especially since you can't leave the premises and you can't get on the wait list if your whole party isn't there. This is truly a unique experience and I am very happy that we were able to come here and enjoy a beautiful afternoon and evening at this wonderful location.

Awesome location, amazing staff and great food. You will have to wait but it's worth it. Plus a ton of stuff to see around the property or find a little table and grab a drink while taking in the beautiful lake in the beach. Worth it for sure.

Holy cow, who knew this supper-club compound was here!? Apparently everyone but me, because this place was outrageously busy. Like nothing I've ever seen before. We were in town visiting for a camping trip at Mirror Lake and decided to walk from our site to check this place out for a drink. I was blown away - the grounds are huge and it was packed with people. People that were very eager to eat at Ishnala because from the sounds of it, there was a 4+ hour wait for a table! Fear not though, they have plenty to enjoy (and drink) while you wait. The restaurant sits atop of a hill overlooking the lake, providing wonderful views. You can make your way down to the side bar near the sand, where you'll find a surplus of tables, plenty of staff running around with drinks & apps, and even a little stage with live music. On the upper part of the hill, there's tons more outdoor seating amongst the beautiful grounds. Also a mini gift shop that's pretty cute. Overall, fabulous vibes here. We didn't plan to come for dinner (which we were happy about after we found out about these wait times), so we were perfectly pleased with just grabbing a cocktail and checking the place out. And the answer is YES, you should indeed try their infamous old fashioned! Of course we were nosey and still peeked inside the supperclub. How cool! I get why people love the atmosphere here. It's a log-cabin eatery through and through. Your quintessential super club. I feel like I must return here some day for the full dining experience!

I've been wanting to visit this supper club for so long! It lived up to the hype. It's a beautiful location, right on the lake, surrounded by trees. You arrive at the parking lot and then walk down a paved path that takes you to the restaurant. Along the path there are seating areas, history stops, and a gift shop. We put our name in at the restaurant and had about a 45 minutes wait (note they do not take reservations). I was so impressed with the set up and experience Ishnala provided. They know people will have to wait for tables so they offer 4 different bar areas inside and out, where you can order drinks and apps. We decided to go over to the outdoor bar area for an old fashioned and cheese curds. The old fashioned was one of the best ones I've ever had. Delicious! I would say the cheese curds weren't anything special and I've definitely had better. Nothing beats the views from the outdoor bar. You looked out on the beach and the water. They also had live music out there, creating an awesome vibe and experience. Many families were down by the beach. I loved that there were so many enjoyable places to wait until your table was ready. The inside of the restaurant was broken out into different areas. Very lodge in the woods vibe. We sat on the slightly upper level with amazing views out the huge windows. It is a bit dark with nice lighting and table candles throughout. Right on theme for a supper club. Highly recommend going during sunset! My husband and I shared a wedge salad, steak, and shrimp. Everything was delicious. Perfectly cooked. They also brought out really good rolls and some sort of flavored butter. The meal was well spaced out and overall great. The staff was friendly and efficient. Amazing meal, drinks, and overall experience. Highly recommend!

It wouldn't be a trip to WI without a stop at this classic Ishnala Supper Club has been serving up their quintessential brandy old fashioneds & crispy golden cheese curds for over 70 years. With breathtaking views of Mirror Lake, it is nestled among towering Norway Pines You will not want to miss this place on your next trip to WI. Open April- October!

The setting of Ishnala is incredible! It's surrounded by trees and on the water . The service and all waitstaff were top notch. We arrived at 3:30 and there was already a line forming at the door . There is plenty of parking but get there early if you can . However there are plenty of bar areas to wait for your table . The old fashion was delicious! Ishnala is a well oiled machine. The food was good but the excellent service , ambiance and cocktails were what made the place in my opinion. I am looking forward to returning and may sit at the bar and enjoy appetizers, cocktails and the view for my next visit !

What a gem of a place. If you have any special occasions to celebrate this is the perfect place to go. Overlooking Mirror Lake, this is one of the coolest dinner places in the Wisconsin Dells area. If you go as soon as it opens, you will still have about an hour wait, as this place is extremely popular. We decided to get drinks and appetizers since it was first come first serve in the bar areas and we were able to find some seats. It was an amazing view and the food was delicious. We opted for the prime rib asparagus spears which were phenomenal. I would absolutely go back for another round. They also had outdoor seating and live music for a whole different vibe that was peaceful and calm. Don't forget to educate yourself on the rich Native American history of this area to really appreciate the experience!
