Casual gourmet dining at its finest. The Rookery’s ever-changing menu features weekly fresh fish specials, beef & bison steak, specialty salads, housemade soups, and other creative dishes incorporating fresh seasonal ingredients from local producers. Including some of the best vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options you’ll find anywhere. Our full bar offers a great selection of regional microbrews, premium liquor, and more than three dozen fine wines.

This place is a hidden northwoods gem! If you are in the Cable area you simply must give it a try. We’ve eaten here many times over the years and have never been anything less than thrilled with our meal. Beautiful decor, excellent food, a nice wine list, great service, and the best greeter anywhere (Arwen the Black Lab) all make for a memorable experience!

This is a fine North Woods dining experience, but with the time it takes to get your food the experience is over and gone south! The Pork Loin was terrific! The Root vegetable rissoto was a mess, uncooked butter and no vegetables F-. The waitress was upbeat and nice but the overall experience was a big let down. The grade was a solid "D" for don't.

This is one of my all time favorite places, plus it's in the middle of the Wisconsin north woods. Excellent wine list, fabulous food and attentive wait staff. This would be a winner even in a large city.

Fabulous place...with a lovely wine list. Food a little pricey but also delicious. The musician they had for New Year's Eve was a nice compliment to the entire evening.
