    We’ve been enjoying Kaminski’s for over 10 years. As a frequent visitor to many steakhouses in my hometown Chicago, I’ve always appreciated the excellent quality of this remote steakhouse in the scenic surroundings along the Wisconsin river. The quality remains as good as ever, but the prices, as in Chicago steakhouses, have just gotten too high. I’ve cut way back from my 1-2 monthly visits to Chi-town steakhouses because prices have risen at least 50% since before Covid. Now I have to do the same in visits to the Dells area. During previous 3+ day visits, I’d ideally dine at Kaminski’s and Ishnala for two of those nights. Now I can only justify maybe one of them per visit. I’m hopeful Kaminski can keep costs down without sacrificing their caliber. IMO, they have the finest cuts of all the steakhouses in the area and the Dells would be lesser without them. But $400+ for three steaks, salads and drinks is just too much.

    I have known the Von Rutenberg Family for almost 50 years. Each visit to Mariners is not only enjoyable, but nostalgic. Jack and Bill have carried on their parent's legacy and continue to provide a great dining experience. Denny Schackter
