Rehearsal dinners on the lake
The night before the wedding should feel easy. Emmi's gives you a bright dining room wrapped in lake windows, food your whole family will actually eat, and a bar that makes a proper Wisconsin Old Fashioned. Out-of-town guests can find us at 300 Wrigley Drive in the middle of downtown, park free, or come across the water: we're directly across the street from the main boat launch.
Showers, birthdays, and company gatherings
Breakfast buffets for a team morning, a midday supper club lunch for a shower, a full dinner buyout for a milestone birthday. Every package can be served plated or buffet, any dish on our dine-in menu can be added, and you're welcome to bring your own décor.
