Pier 500 Restaurant – Hudson

Enjoy views of the St. Croix River as you savor unique appetizers such as brie cheese curds or smoked gouda nachos. To enhance the atmosphere, ask for the fireside booth where you can get toasty with your love. Then settle in for a steak where you can "add a little love … " with sauces, cheese or mushrooms.

Wickman House – Ellison Bay

Nestled in historic Ellison Bay, Wickman House feels beautifully secluded among trees and dancing string lights. The building, a white three-story home from the late nineteenth century, now serves seasonal dishes such as grilled trout, grain bowls, chicken with mushrooms and potatoes, and, of course, desserts from flourless chocolate cake to lavender vanilla flan, perfect for sharing.

Field’s at the Wilderness – Wisconsin Dells

The stone hearth fireplaces and distinct water features create an intimate atmosphere for one-on-one time. Not only are the hospitality, design and decorations of the highest quality, you won't be disappointed with the outstanding cuisine. Take your steak to the next level with one of the enhancing options such as Field's Style, featuring parmesan cheese and mushrooms, or pinot noir sauce.

Norwood Pines Supper Club – Minocqua

What could be comfier than a seat on the screened-in porch during summer? Views of Patricia Lake are soothing in any season, and "relaxed elegance" is the promise here. Start with seared ahi tuna and a hot kick of wasabi. End with vanilla cream crepes in a strawberry sauce. In-house ghost stories should give you an excuse to scooch a little closer.

Landmark Restaurant at Old Rittenhouse Inn – Bayfield

Celebrate great food and company at the Landmark Restaurant in quaint Bayfield. The elegant Victorian ambience of antiques and fireplace mantles pairs well with freshly baked desserts and a five-course dinner, including options such as poulet aux champagne and smoked trout salad.
