"Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm more excited about: my birthday or anniversary or the fact I get to eat at the Waterfront. Nothing makes me as happy as knowing I'm about to experience impeccable service, exceptional food, and an elegant surrounding. The menu allows me to experience food I've only ever seen on the Food Network. The first time I tried escargot I wanted to scream with delight. The servers are amazing- they are all extremely knowledgeable about the menu and can even pronounce everything properly (haha). Before you even enter the building, you're greeted by the warm lights wrapped around the trees and the fountain. Inside, the decor makes you really feel like a VIP guest. But what really matters is the food- and the chefs hit the mark. With proteins perfectly cooked, vegetables re-imagined, sauces perfectly balanced, soups that taste like they have a million layers, and specialty creations like avocado gelato that makes you actually stop and think about what you're eating, I will look forward to every birthday or anniversary for years to come as long as I am lucky enough to dine at the Waterfront."

Lovely place right on the river. We had the nicest waiter, and the food was amazing. I highly recommend the key lime pie for desert-save room!

I enjoyed sitting on the patio for happy hour! The house chardonnay was delicious, and the burgers were excellent as well. The prices during happy hour are definitely worth it! The view is truly priceless.

This is my top choice of restaurant, any day of the week. They serve the best sushi! For holidays, birthdays, or any occasion, TWF is the place to be. The staff feels like family. You have to visit—it's an amazing spot with delightful food and drinks. We absolutely love it! View menu

Wonderful experience. The food was first rate, the service exceptional, and the way they treat the military simply outstanding. This is a fine establishment and I would not hesitate to take a client here to make a positive impression. Their focus on locally sourced ingredients and quality of food marks them with distinction. A class act that appeals to all sectors. Bravo! Well done!

I've wanted to visit the Waterfront for years, and I finally decided to go there for my 21st birthday. It exceeded all my expectations. Making reservations was quick and easy. The back room was both elegant and beautiful. Our service was outstanding! The waitress was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone in my party of ten was amazed by the fantastic food; everything was just perfect. They even accommodated food allergies and last-minute birthday surprises! I’ll definitely be returning in the years to come!

I can't believe how absolutely wonderful this place is! The staff are such wonderful people and the menu is beyond everything I've ever had before. The escargot appetizer was the perfect tease on the pallet followed by the Caesar with thinly anchovy fillets and then the 8 oz. fillet was a perfect medium rare sus-vide with a consistent texture like butter all the way through. It was all I could do to pass on desert but my friends tried several selections and how I was still craving that after already being so stuffed is anyone's guess. View menu

We were passing through La Crosseand a friend told us about the great patio and view from this restaurant, it is a beautiful patio on the river. Unfortunately it was full, and also a bit too muggy so we sat inside. The food was excellent. I had swordfish, cooked to perfection, and my husband had pork tenderloin, also quite good. Meals included a salad, one of the best side salads I've enjoyed for a while, thanks to the fresh ingredients and a robust, delicious dressing. If I'm back through here, I'll definitely dine here again, and hopefully sit on the patio.

My husband and I wanted to try something new for his birthday dinner, and this was rated very highly. Walking into the restaurant was very elegant and a high class feel. We were seated very quickly, it was a bit late-an hour or so before seating ended- but we were still greeted with pleasure. Our waiter was overall fantastic in every way. I asked him what his recommendation was on a sweet wine, he knew right away which one. The wine he chose ended up being wonderful! We got the cheese platter. It exceeded our expectations with the fresh ingredients they pair the cheeses with. Husband ordered the shrimp and scallop day boat, he loved it. I ordered the tenderloin filet- medium rare. It literal...

"My spouse and I dined at Pogreba, in La Crosse, Wisconsin, in early May. Our entire experience was excellent, and we highly recommend Pogreba. They accept reservations for parties of two. Some of the other La Crosse restaurants do not. My spouse had the lamb wellington. The lamb was cooked perfectly pink, well seasoned, and the puff pastry was light and flaky. An excellent sized portion. The house salad was also excellent. My spouse was very happy with their selection. I had the Special, which was a red curry seafood with pasta dish it was out of this world. Chock full of scallops, shrimp and salmon, in a wonderfully creamy sauce that was seasoned perfectly, had a good depth of flavor, and served over pasta/noodles. Also a very generous portion I ended up taking leftovers back with me. I had the Caesar salad with anchovies, and that was yummy as well. For dessert, we shared the strawberry tiramisu, also a generous portion, and delicious just the right balance of sweet, but not overly sweet. Jenna was our server, and she was absolutely delightful professional, warm, welcoming, and friendly; and a joy to talk to. She checked on us often, as did a very nice hostess. We felt well attended to, the food was excellent, and the entire experience absolutely wonderful. We highly recommend Pogreba in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Next time we are in La Crosse, we will definitely return there."
