Nice and quiet dinner on a business trip, shrimp scampi was delicious. Husband loved the signature burger they had, even the salads were good. I'd come here again if I'm in the area!

My birthday celebration at The Whitney was lovely experience. Food was very good. Our server, Natalie, was the perfect amount of attentive. She even brought me a complimentary birthday old fashioned! A great place for a special occasion.

We celebrated my mom’s birthday at this restaurant, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our server, Autumn, was absolutely incredible—the best server I’ve ever had, hands down. She was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and her recommendations were spot on. She helped us navigate the extensive menu, and her energy made the entire dinner feel special. The food itself was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the atmosphere was lively and elegant, but it was Autumn who made our night truly memorable. She deserves all the recognition!

I've been here a couple of times, staff is great, food is pretty good and it's a nice relaxing atmosphere. I had the burger this time along with several drinks. Burger was pretty good, cooked great, nice and juicy.

My friend and i go there on Sunday's for the brunch buffet for the past 6 months. This Sunday was the 1st day of the menu and I was the 1st customer. No buffet, that's ok, we decided to eat there.
We were the only ones there. I ordered a half turkey club and sweet potatos fries. It comes out as a PATHETIC excuse for a $12 sandwich, take a bit and its wrong. They made me a BLT instead of a club. Sent it back but told her to do a full sandwich after seeing the half. The turkey on the club looked like thin sliced packaged walmart turkey, just 6 pieces not even seperated and i was convinced by the color and flavor it was ham.
Once again i was the 1st customer to order off the new menu and I was beyond disappointed. made a review on their Facebook page and they deleted it! DO NOT WASTE YOU TIME AND MONEY ON ATLEAST THEIR SANDWICHES. My friend had the burger and she said it was ok but we won't ever be returning outside of special buffet days.

Went with friends for Friday fish fry and was not disappointed. All of us very much enjoyed our food (even the friends who are very picky about their fish fry)

I had an incredible experience at The Whitney! The service was amazing and so was the atmosphere. Their vodka pasta was sooo delicious and honestly, the best comfort meal. However, the highlight of my meal were the Wisconsin cheese curds. Absolute perfection!!! And don’t let me get started on the ranch. If you’re in the area, you should definitely visit.

I honestly didn't have high hopes for this experience, so I'm glad I went in with low expectations. The atmosphere was fancy, and the back lit menus were a nice but unnecessary touch. With only 3 other tables occupied, we were seated next to a table of businessmen that we could hear every word of conversation since it echoed. The service was fine, but we didn't get to see Robert in action. He sat in a corner, looking lonely. The presentation of food was a 10 out of 10, I just wish the taste matched. I had the shrimp scampi, and even though I could see the noodles swimming in garlic, I was desperate to find a jar of garlic salt to give it more flavor. My husband said the ravioli was just ok. The meals didn't come with anything, so we had to add sides for $5 each. My dish was $16+$5 salad which wasn't worth it. I wish they would give you a side dish with the meal. The ranch on the side salad was the best part, along with my husband's fries. So if you're looking for a cheap date night, get the sides and don't stay for dessert. The tiramisu was also subpar. The first bite, I enhaled a bunch of espresso powder. The rest of it was almost inedible with the soggy ladyfingers on the bottom.

The Mead finally has a great Chef again. In three trips the food has been excellent every time. They seem to be a bit understaffed though. Bartenders and host are bit slow.(No sense of urgency here.) But, the food makes up for any deficiency in service.

I had gone to The Whitney for Valentine’s Day this year to try something new, and I definitely would not recommend. The food was cold and hard along with no flavor to follow, the manager was very rude when we had asked for a refund, and as we asked he claimed out of nowhere that he had asked us for a replacement to cover the meal. It overall was a weird atmosphere, and it was out in the opening, so therefore everyone was able to hear your conversations. I will never return their very unhappy and disappointing.

Three lunch orders, none edible. Two left there, one taken with to try to fix at home. We have high hopes for the revival of activities connected to The Mead Inn,, a grand place at one time, full of life and a spot for many, many good times. We applaud other changes implemented recently but this lunch service was just a problem. We were told there might be issues, I guess we hoped that a place knowing things go poorly would have worked improve it by now. The wait staff was wearing too many hats and did try hard. The look of the place is very nice, more formal than the lunch menu would lead one to expect. There may be a different dinner menu or staffing, this was just a lunch,a one time visit. Decide for yourself if there might be something on the menu for you. We do not recommend anything related to a chicken choice. Other entrees may be fine..

I was very disappointed when my party of seven arrived and they didn’t know of my online reservation. Then when they did see us, the area was extremely cold. They were out of prime rib and the salmon at 6:30. The food was fine. Nothing spectacular.

After 9 years of refusing to return due to horrible service and food, we decided we'd give the new owners a shot. I'm glad we did! Cheese curds and deep fried pickles were excellent! The prime rib was good and mashed potatoes even better! Drinks were worth the cost. Service was professional and fast. The atmosphere is definitely an upgrade from year's past. Check out the changes, I think you'll be impressed!

I wanted to avoid getting 5 kids loaded back into the vehicle after a long car ride so we decided to stay in the hotel for the night and eat here. The server was friendly and at first she was very quick getting us our drinks and taking our order, but as the restaurant started to fill it seemed she wasn't able to handle it and put a majority of her focus on the bar area. Our appetizer was forgotten, I had onions on my burger when I asked for no onions, and my boyfriend asked for sweet potato fries as his side and didn't get that. The food here is very mediocre at best and the portions are not big enough for them to be asking so much. We weren't asked if we needed any boxes to take our leftovers up to our room and my sons food was taken away before he could even finish it. We ended up telling my sister who had some food left to just take the paper liner and wrap her food up so she could bring it to our room.
There wasn't anything that blew me away with this restaurant. They should probably come down on their prices, I'd say for the burger I got that had bbq sauce, an onion ring, and a side of chips $12 would be fair for the portion and quality... but it wasn't giving $19 worth maybe if the patty was a little fatter or the bun was a little larger..

In Rapids on a job from Northern Wi. Ordered American Burger & wings. Both really good! Lydia was an awesome server & Molly was exceptional chef!! Were super picky about proper cooked medium rare
burger and was perfect! Wings were really good too. We weren't interested in fries so we got a side salad and was too big for both of us to eat. Very generous portions, well cooked and everything tasted good. Unsure of other reviews but we were very happy. Pleased with food, portion & price. Maybe just make sure who's working bc we had an excellent experience. Because City of Rapids permit office sucks we will definitely be back and eat here again, lol.

Small bar and restraunt area in the Hotel Mead... It's edible, but for the prices they are asking the food should be much better quality, even after the markup for it being a hotel restaurant.
We had the spinach and artichoke dip, which was good, but it was very watery, and some of the cheese had not melted fully into the dish... This was definitely served from a microwave, and not worth 15 dollars.
We also had the ribeye, but ours was not served with the black peppercorn sauce as listed (this may have been out fault, as the server asked if we wanted "steak sauce" we assumed she meant A1, not the sauce on the dish"... The steak was cooked fine, and tasted fine, but was definitely not a 35 dollar ribeye, it is more reminiscent of a 15 dollar diner ribeye. The baked potato was just a baked potato, and the vegetable was Brocolini, both were cooked perfectly, but overly simple for the price.
All in all, if you are staying at the hotel, and do not feel like wandering around to find food, it's an acceptable place to grab a bite before retiring for the night, however if they would like to become more established, the prices need to come down, or the food quality needs to go up.
