A Modern Wisconsin Supper Club on Lake Geneva

What we mean by a supper club

Wisconsin supper clubs grew up as the place you went for the whole evening: a cocktail to start, something for the table, a proper supper, and an ice cream drink to finish. Emmi's keeps that rhythm and drops the dimly lit fuss. The cooking is familiar and done carefully, the room is bright and wrapped in lake views, and you're as welcome in a booth on a Wednesday as at a celebration on a Saturday. For the history, read From Supper Clubs to Fish Frys.

The Old Fashioned, your way

The Wisconsin Old Fashioned ($14): Korbel brandy, muddled orange and cherry, bitters, and a splash of soda. Sweet, sour, or press—your call Prefer whiskey? The Classic Old Fashioned ($14) is Maker's Mark, demerara, Angostura and orange bitters. The rest of the bar is on the drinks menu.

Something for the table

• Fried Cheese Curds, $16.95: Hand-battered Wisconsin white cheddar curds, fried golden, served with our house buttermilk ranch
• Pub Cheese, $14.95: Our house-made sharp pub cheese with Ritz crackers, celery sticks, and cornichons
• Deviled Eggs, $13.95: Five classic deviled eggs, the way grandbob made 'em
• Brats in a Blanket, $17.95: Mini bratwurst bites wrapped in flaky pastry, topped with toasted sesame, served with spicy mustard*

Supper

• Walleye Meunière, $32.95: Pan-seared walleye over seared spinach, finished with brown butter caper sauce, golden croutons, and lots of lemon. Wisconsin's fish, prepared the way it deserves
• Brick Chicken, $28.50: Crispy chicken with mustard herb jus and roasted potatoes. Simple, generous, exactly right
• Baby Back Ribs, Full $38.50 / Half $22: A full or half-slab of slow-cooked baby backs glazed in our house BBQ, finished with crispy onions and served with tangy potato salad and creamy cabbage slaw
• Fish & Chips, $24.95: Hand-battered walleye, fries, our homemade tartar sauce, and a wedge of lemon. Friday night fish fry, any night of the week

The walleye fish fry has its own page, because it's served any night we're open, not just Friday.

Finish with an ice cream drink

• Grasshopper, $13.50: Crème de menthe, white crème de cacao, and vanilla ice cream — sweet, cool, and unmistakably Wisconsin
• Pink Squirrel, $13.50: Crème de noyaux, white crème de cacao, and vanilla ice cream. Almond-rich and softly pink
• Brandy Alexander, $14.50: Brandy, dark crème de cacao, and vanilla ice cream — finished with fresh-grated nutmeg

Or go dessert: Sticky Toffee Pudding ($11.95), a warm date cake under house-made toffee sauce with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or Fudge Bottom Pie ($10.95), a rich chocolate custard tart with fresh whipped cream.

And the diner in its soul

Emmi is the daughter of Ed Debevic, and the great American diner is part of the house too: breakfast until 2 PM, a half-pound cheeseburger, shakes and malts. Meet Emmi, or plan a private supper for your group.
