The Wisconsin Room

The original dining hall of immigrant workers for Kohler Co., The Wisconsin Room features innovative, farm-fresh cuisine in an elegant but approachable atmosphere.

The menu, which rotates seasonally, is frequently complemented by daily specials drawing inspiration from what’s in harvest at that moment. During the spring, you might experience local morels, wild ramps, spring lamb and freshly caught fish from the Great Lakes. During the summer months, the chef might feature wild strawberries, fresh herbs from the garden and a wide selection of freshly harvested local produce.  Dine in our historic dining room or in the beautiful adjacent courtyard.  Enjoy a before-dinner drink in the Library Bar, which features specialty martinis and an extensive wine list.   Resort upscale attire.

 

 

The Greenhouse

This charming antique solarium from Chorley, Lancashire, in the north of England, was meticulously dismantled there, transported halfway ’round the world and reassembled piece by piece to stand in its current home, The American Club® Fountain Courtyard.

It now serves as a delightful garden café for afternoon and evening refreshments. Bring your laptop and get caught up on emails while you enjoy coffee and pastries, or meet friends for relaxing conversation. The Greenhouse offers a tempting selection of deli sandwiches, sweet treats, homemade ice cream, European pastries, signature teas and espresso drinks.

 

The Horse & Plow

This casual historic tavern was once the taproom for Kohler Co. workers who lived at The American Club®. Abundant booths convey a cozy atmosphere, while the tabletops, made from the original American Club bowling alley, perpetuate the historic tradition of Kohler Co. An expansive bar accommodates guests beyond the restaurant area, and a lower-level lounge features cozy furniture, televisions and fireplace.

 

Enjoy American classics, such as burgers and fish ‘n’ chips, as well as fresh, innovative selections, such as our Midwest chicken salad and grilled salmon. With an exceptional selection of American microbrews and premium European beers, The Horse & Plow is a great place to meet for lunch or an after-dinner drink.

 

 

Cucina Italian (Woodlake)

Located alongside tranquil, picturesque Wood Lake, this gracious restaurant offers regional Italian cuisine simply prepared to allow natural flavors to shine through.
