Poplar Inn

Wendy and I went out on a date tonight to celebrate her birthday.  For dinner, we went to the Poplar Inn.

It was awesome.  For an appetizer we had seared scallops with pineapple salsa.  It was fantastic.  I had a porterhouse that was melt-in-your-mouth glorious.  Wendy had Macon Walleye, which is fish with mushrooms, bacon, and pecans.  I had a taste.  It was fantastic.  For dessert we had a chocolate truffle which managed to compress a year’s worth of chocolate into a single bite. 

The service was fantastic, but the sides were just so-so.  But who goes to a restaurant for the sides?

The meal ran us about $100 with tip and a couple of drinks.  It was a fantastic meal and well worth it.  I encourage everyone to discover this gem of a restaurant in the heart of West Bend.

  1. There was live music, too, don’t forget.

    Owen’s steak was so good, I forgot that I don’t even like steak.

    In addition to the fancy dinners we had, they also had a “fish fry” for 9.95.  The people at the table next to us seem to have had that, and there was a lot of food on their plates.

  4. I agree, we went there once with a coupon.  I’m from Wisconsin, I expect a coupon for everything.  But it was so good, we’ve actually eaten there without a coupon wink

  5. “I’ve eaten there withour a coupon”.In Wisconsin, that is indeed a high compliment. Oh, and Happy Birthday, Wendy and many more

  6. I like the Poplar Inn, it’s very good.  But I prefer Riverside Brewery.  Great food and the best beer EVER.  If you haven’t been there, give it a try.

  7. We’ve been to Riverside once.  It was very good, but I thought a bit over-priced for the fare.
