    LOVE this place! They have gluten free options for our son with celiac, they have vegetarian options for me, fantastic local meat & fish for the husband, and they even made their stuffed jalapeños without breading for us. Great atmosphere, beautiful space & gorgeous local photo art. Staff is friendly & helpful, but not bothersome. A must go place if you're in the Cable area. I recommend reservations.

    A delightful surprise in the northwoods. I went during the off season, when it seems all of the dinner choices in the area are frozen pizzas or bar burgers (not that there is anything wrong with a good bar burger ;), and had a great meal. Not only was the food excellent, but actual vegetables were used in the production of that food, and they weren't dipped in batter and fried. While I am being light hearted with the above, when I went to the Rookery, I had a very nice meal in a lovely environment. I will be stopping back when I am in the area and looking for a nicer meal.

    This was our second time here and like the first time, we all walked away feeling good knowing the food and services matched the price. Two in the party of 6 had ribeye, one grilled and one blackened with blu cheese. They were both tender a very tasty. One had the $18 Bison burger and throughly enjoyed it. Two had scallops two different ways with risotto and one had scallops and lobster with risotto. Every thing was delicious and fixed perfectly.

    Service was not good. Had to ask for our salads. Excuse was they were waiting on the croutons. ?? Then dinner didn't come for a long time.

    Organic, local ingredients...creative menu....Bells Two Hearted...and a friendly black lab roaming the restaurant, all in a remote location east of Cable, WI, i.e., not far from the end of the earth but you can see it., spits out a 5 star rating. If you vacation in the Hayward/Cable area, check this place out. You won't be disappointed. In an area where the deep fat fryer is the primary cooking method, The Rookery defies convention and brings a whole new way of thinking to the restaurant biz in northern WI.

    As others have said this restaurant was quite a surprise in the northwoods of Wisconsin. The food is simply fantastic and made from fresh ingredients and prepared in pleasantly surprisingly ways. If you're in the area and looking for something a little bit different I would recommend you stop by.

    Really a 2.5 for me. Obviously given the great reviews here, I had high expectations that just weren't met. I visited with a party of 5 midweek so they weren't especially busy, Drinks - a well chosen, decently priced selection of beer and wine as well as a full bar. Apps - here's where it started to go downhill. The first two items (from a choice of maybe 8) were unavailable. Not really acceptable given that they update their menu regularly. We settled on a chipotle goat cheese terrine which was good, when it arrived....about 30 minutes later. First - two people ordered the chicken wild rice soup which was never delivered. Hubs agreed to take his because he was still hungry (see entrees below) and they kindly comped it for the error. However, the soup was delivered just warm and kind of had a funny taste (to me, it was almost an iodine shellfish undertone). Entrees - two of us ordered risotto, 2 had pasta and one person had pork loin. The pork loin was the best of the lot. The pasta was ehhhhh....just ok. My risotto was actually very good but hubs was irritated that his contained just 2 small scallops on his - a ripoff at $24. Service - pleasant but absent. Even though there were just a few other tables and other servers present our server was MIA most of the meal. We had long empty glasses, long delays and missed courses. Not acceptable in a place of this caliber. Bottom line - when I'm paying a premium price I expect service and quality to match and it didn't happen for my group. Meh.

    Overall, we had a good experience. We weren't super hungry and we had seen from other yelp reviews that they tended to be quite pricey, so we just ordered a salad and two appetizers. We started out with the rainbow salad which was very good with a sweet and fruity flavor. Next, we had the Thai barbecue tostadas which were excellent and had a ton of flavor. Following that, we had the walleye tacos which were also very good, but did not have near the amount of flavor that the Thai barbecue tostadas had. We sat in one of the booths which was a nice and intimate place to dine. A few other notes: We did NOT have a reservation (it was a Wednesday night) and it was very awkward initially when we showed up. In fact, we almost initially felt unwelcome even though the place was not very busy when we showed up as it was still quite early in the evening. The other thing was there was a black lab laying in the entryway when we got there. Now, my husband and I love dogs (and have two big ones of our own), but felt that it was inappropriate to have a dog in a restaurant, especially one that is trying to come off as "fine dining" and that it could be a tripping hazard when laying directly in the entry way.

    Excellent food, service, menu and atmosphere! Not pretentious fine dining at all, more like casual elegance and creative locally grown food. Went twice in one week! Just what this area needs!

    Unusually good food in a "wilderness" setting.

    You probably wont find many restaurants with 5 star dining in the Hayward area, and definitely not one quite like The Rookery. The lodge style building also features photography taken by a local artist throughout (they are for sale for customers). Rookery also serves some of the best food I've ever tasted. We started off with two appetizers: the walleye tacos, which were on a crispy, freshly fried corn tortilla with juicy shredded walleye meat with a mango salsa (4/5 points) and Chevre (goat cheese) with red bell peppers, red chili's, and arugula (4/5 points). Next up was the wild rice soup, probably the best I've ever had. The soup contained seasonal vegetables and cranberries and was very aromatic with an almost indescribable flavor (rich, but not creamy and very fresh tasting: 5/5 points). For dinner I had this weeks fish un-fry; Panko breaded Hawaiian Opa fish served over a red heirloom tomato and Israeli couscous mixed with basil pesto, topped with bacon, and served with tomato compote (one of the best dishes I have ever eaten: 5/5 points). For dessert I had triple chocolate creme cake, a very rich cake served with strawberries (4/5 points). The restaurant also has a very friendly and helpful waitstaff and a black lab that greets you at the door. Check out the Rookery if you can, you won't be disappointed!

    We went here for a very special evening -- our 30th wedding anniversary. Seemed to be the best restaurant on the area. We made a reservation a week ahead, hoping that would give us a good table. We had very high expectation based on earlier reviews, but our experience was equally good and bad. The good: very lovely space with nice artwork. The salads we close were quite good (rainbow in particular), as was the fennel crusted pork loin. The marzipan custard pie was also very nice. The downside: 1. Despite our early reservation, the staff fumbled bit on seating us, offering a choice of 2 corner tables in the main dining room. We walked past several cozy booths on the way to the dining room which WAS very pretty. Unfortunately, no consideration was given to acoustics. Three or 4 other parties arrived, and it quickly became too loud for us to speak to eacholther over our meal. I know some people are arrogant diners, monopolizing a space so the everyone on the room hears them. Oddly, the waitstaff was also very, very loud -- with all hard surfaces in the room, it was very far from a "fine dining" experience as advertised. 2. Service was badly timed. Entrees arrived while we were still eating our salads. The waitress just waited for us to move our (large) salads plates over & create space for the entrees. 3. One of the entrees, a seafood risotto, was very poorly done. Served only warm, gluey and sticky and firm rather than creamy as a risotto should be, very small amount of overcooked seafood (2 scallops, perhaps 1 chopped up shrimp, not enough truffle to taste, and way too much cheese for a seafood dish). Extremely overpriced. 4. The low-flour chocolate cake was hard, dry and served too cold. I hope they can figure out how to fix the acoustics so that diners may speak to eachother over their meals (which might sometime be a special splurge), and be more consistent in their food. It was so odd that one our entrees was GREAT (fennel pork) while the other was so bad. Doesn't seem like the samr chef did both.

    I have been dining in this area for a number of years and there is just no other that compares with the Rookery in ambiance and elegant tasteful food. Don't pass this one bye. Say hello to Callie the dog for me!

    What a surprising gem to find in the northwoods! I wish this restaurant was closer to me. Fresh ingredients, made to order, slow food, etc it's all here. The owner was very friendly, and helped us to with our selection from the menu. I had the Seafood Truffle Risotto, and it was excellent. He also gave us a tour of the rooms he has for rent above the restaurant and I highly recommend staying there if in the Cable area.
