Clearview Supper Club

A classic Northwoods super supper club. Come for the Old Fashioneds, stay for the amazing chicken and ribs combo. Still have a couple of arcade games for the kids too. And, don't forget to enjoy a Pink Squirrel or Grasshopper

I took my severly disabled son there for dinner. Our server Lisa was very kind. She recommended the ravioli with beef medallions. It was very good. She brought me extra rolls for the sauce. At the end of my meal when the bill came there was this note in there. Lisa said someone covered my meal. I was so touched by it I didnt know what to say. She wouldn't tell me who paid it. Some kind person there. I cannot tell you how much of a great night this was for me. I am truly thankful.

This is the quintessential Wisconsin Supper Club. Small, authentic and very personal. You could not ask for better staff. Very attentive and personable. The food is great . Whether you're getting one of the steaks, prime rib or fresh Lake Superior whitefish, you won't be disappointed. Reservations are essential. This place is very popular with locals and tourists alike. Be patient as they are busy. J.J at the bar will take excellent care of you if you have wait for your table. Some nights they have live music in the bar. Five star rating.

We haven't been back for a while. We used to get the ravioli and had a butter cream sauce. Recently the menu has changed and is more of vodka sauce than a Tuscan butter cream sauce. Went from a brown color to a pink vodka color sauce. The potatoes were raw and under cooked. Staff was friendly. We're excited for prime rib but it was overcooked. I was hoping it was an off night and it doesn't become a trend.

Quintessential N Wisco supper club, done really well for 105 years. Ol' Fashioneds, steaks, ribs, seafood, and more. Great atmosphere, wood interior and bar. Great service which is saying a lot post-COVID and in a small town with a limited labor pool. Seven of us enjoyed the experience, vibes, and food. The cognac steak sauce is just a shot of cognac warmed up, not a reduction or cream sauce which would be much better. But we loved our steaks, scallops, ribs, ravioli, baked potatos, au gratin, soups, and desserts. Will definitely come back here every time we come up north.

Staff was all excellent. Friendly and efficient. Portabella mushroom with quinoa was excellent as was citrus chicken. Tomato bisque soup had excellent flavor. Martini was great. Old fashioned was pretty good, that's why we went with four stars instead of five. We will be back to try more of this great menu and to enjoy the friendly staff.

The food and cocktails were very tasty. Our server was very attentive and accommodating. The inside has good bones but needs a bit of attention. The view is not as good as you'd expect given the name of the place.

When in Wisconsin, it's only natural to try a supper club or two. This was our first time at Clearview and it certainly won't be our last. The look and feel is traditional, vintage, and historic, with great food and drinks. One of the house specialties is the Beef Tenderloin and Ravioli. While I wasn't sure about mixing premium beef with pasta, I am glad I ordered it due in part to the delicious sauce.

We spent a weekend in St. Germain, and we usually like to just cook from home or grill out, but as it was our anniversary we decided to go out to a nice supper club. We made reservations a week in advance. Got there early/checked in at 5:30 and sat at the bar having great cocktails listening to great music and having a good time. Our reservation was for 6:00, we didn't get seated until 6:20 (it was a busy night) We got the cheese curds, nothing crazy, but good, then the appetizers came out. Salad was a typical iceberg lettuce and a single cucumber type salad, nothing special. But then- we got served 2 kings Hawaiian rolls, that's kinda what shocked us...for a restaurant with a minimum of $25 dishes and they served kings Hawaiian rolls? With Sysco butter? Then we got our walleye fish fry. I've had amazing fish fries in my life and I can say that $30 for a fish fry that has 0 flavor and the lightest breading/batter I've seen, with so many bones, I would not order it ever again. And the fries were your basic frozen, pre measured, bland, out of bag fries. The food- not too impressed at all. BUT - the ambiance of the bar, the drinks and music was great, I'd go back just for the bar but don't think I would get food there ever again. There was also the 4% card fee, which added to the already not so cheap price of the food. Overall, ambiance was great, we'd go back just for drinks, but definitely a pass on their food.

This Supper Club is one of my stops whenever I'm within an hours drive. Have been eating here for over ten years. They make killer old fashions and usually have a few specials along with the regular dinner menu. Tonight was liver and onions with bacon. It was outstanding! I highly recommended this place for dinner!

Came here for their Friday fish fry. I got the haddock and my husband got the walleye. The breading on both was extremely light and both fish were great. They bring out rye bread and coleslaw to your table after ordering your meal. It was a BUSY Friday night so our server Dana did her best to accommodate us and refill drinks and be attentive but again, it was very busy. When she started describing the homemade desserts my ears perked up when she said double chocolate cobbler with a big scoop of ice cream on top.... When it was brought out it was simply a hard brownie with a scoop of ice cream next to it. Disappointing. BUT, the banana fosters cheesecake? That was the best cheesecake I've had in a long long time. Would go back just to have another slice. Ambiance is the definition of north woods Wisconsin supper club. They do take reservations, just **not** in the summer on a Friday night- it's first come first serve. Overall, it was a nice experience. Quality food!

Had a great time Lisa kept our glasses full and was very versed on the menu. Been going there for so many years I can't remember glad to get a chance to come back not in the prime season.

Very good food and nice atmosphere. We always look forward to eating there when we visit the area!. We definitely recommend this excellent restaurant.

Ambiance is worth the visit. Service is friendly. Bartender and wait staff working hard. Food has deteriorated in flavor and number of selections. I made a bad choice in ordering a burger. I expected a 1/2# beef patty not two sliders off a griddle with wilted lettuce. When you order stay with supper club traditional food...prime rib, chicken, shrimp or steak. French onion soup was excellent. Stay away from "pub food/sandwiches".

It's a classic supper club. They nailed it. Cocktails to dinner. If you like supper clubs you'll love it. If you're expecting a downtown city fair it won't be your thing. I loved it.

Great food and drinks! Fun and attentive staff. Our favorite supper club in the St. Germaine area. Will be back next year!

Food was below average... The lobster bisque was inedible and was sent back. The service and bartenders were awesome and great old fashioned! Better food elsewhere.

If you come here, get the chicken Kiev! You will not be disappointed. The chicken kiev was bursting with garlic butter served over a bed of wild rice - absolutely delicious! I did not like the lobster bisque soup - it looked and tasted like tomato soup with a tiny hint of lobster. It was like they ran out of lobster bisque and just added some tomato soup to it. FYI They also don't have a baby changing table in any of their bathrooms and I had to change my daughters diaper on their couch.

Great drinks and the ambience inside this old log supper club can't be beat. Great location on the lake. The food and the portion sizes are decent

A really consistent dinner spot. There's a large u-shaped bar area and then a spacious dining room. The bar is a great place to hang out before dinner or just for drinks! We always make a reservation because it fills up. The cheese curds are really good with a distinct squeak. I love that the entrees come with soup or salad and bread. My family members love their homemade ranch. I most recently got the chicken Marsala, which is delicious. Super creamy, flavorful mushroom Marsala sauce over noodles and chicken. I've gotten the tournedos a number of times. They're always cooked how I ask (medium rare) and come with a good portion of sautéed mushrooms and onions. The sautéed mushroom side for $4.99 is a substantial amount of mushrooms if you're looking for more. The scallops are great and very tasty.

Great cocktails Great Ambiance but service and food changed in small ways that had this in our top five Supper Clubs in the Northwoods. I'm guessing the poor service was our server only as other servers seemed happy, engaging and appreciative of diners. The dinner salad is wilted leafy and not fresh tasting and the smallest detail of skimping on those special croutons was noticeable along with the cracker basket. The price of prime rib has risen but more than comparable establishment. I'm willing to pay just do t skimp on what was a caring and quality establishment.

This Supper club is average. It has a nice off the beaten path location, which gives it a less commercialized and more homey feel. This restaurant has a nice bar and sitting area separate from the eating area, which keeps background noise low and allows for space to enjoy a pre dinner drink. Pros: - cool bar area to leisurely enjoy an old fashioned, beer, cocktail, or wine - Friendly staff and bartenders make you feel at home - Delicious horseradish cheese dip and breadsticks crackers were quickly placed on the table to munch on while deciding dinner - Supper club experience, including choice of potato and soup/salad with main entree Cons: - a 4% increase is added to your total bill if you don't have cash, which isn't listed on the menu - When we went on a Saturday, they were out of prime rib, garlic mashed potatoes, and several other main dishes. Our waitress had to keep coming back to ask our party to change their order, as every time something new would be gone - Food was a solid average. Not the best meal I've had, not the worst. Shrimp tended to be on the over sauced side, where my preference just isn't as saucy

Having lived in the eastern US for most of my life, supper clubs are a bandwagon I've jumped on for the last decade. I want to say this was mulligan and next time I'm in town I'll try it again. I'd write more the food but a $45 NY strip special medium rare steak was medium well. Apparently some people order steaks medium well but I wouldn't really know because I don't associate with those people. They have some cottages that seem to be under the same ownership so if you want to stay somewhere and mosey over to the restaurant and welcoming bar check it out.

Excellent place to stop in for a delicious meal. You can tell they really care about the food they cook. The waitress who was waiting lots of tables did an excellent job handling everything. Drinks were mixed perfectly ! We got Ahi Tuna, Tenderloin, Ribs, and walleye. Everything was absolutely outstanding and flavorful. Walleye was lacking seasoning but was still good. The star was the tenderloin though- cooked to perfection, tender, and packed with flavor. Wow. Can't wait to go back!

Fantastic Old Fashioned's in a tub glass that would have made my dad proud. The cheese curds are average cheese curds that you can find anywhere but what sets these apart if the house made ranch dressing- wowza! Although we didn't get either on this visit, the Duck Wontons and the warm Krab Dip are worth diving into and shouldn't be missed. The Chicken Marsala is made with a velvety, smooth and creamy sauce. The Marsala flavor was delicate but present and served over a bed of pasta; the chicken was charbroiled and cooked nicely- all together it was delicious and decadent. My guy had the Tournedos- on the menu it said it was prepared with mushrooms, onions and garlic. What it didn't say was that it was also prepared with red wine...Tournedos can be prepared with a wide variety of sauces and to have this was a bit unexpected. Although the steak was tender, the red wine over powered the taste of the mushrooms, onions and garlic. He did eat a large portion but he didn't love it and would have ordered something else had he known about the wine. It's just not a flavor he cares for. (I tasted it myself and agreed with his POV- wine is all I tasted and in took over the entire dish). All that being said, Clearview is a wonderfully charming place, with fantastic service and good food. We only wish we had known about the wine in the preparation of the meat.

A cute place with a very genuine "up North" ambience to it in a lovely setting. Sad to see that quality has slipped in the last couple of years, though. Our pre-dinner salad was skimpy, limp and not especially cold. The dinners themselves were delicious, well-plated and kind of different for the North Woods scene (I had the ravioli/steak dish). However, they were barely warm when served. The waitress seemed miffed when we sent it back; she returned with the obviously microwaved plates a couple minutes later; hotter, but it didn't do any favors for the dish. Thing is, it's not a cheap place. It has a good reputation and a loyal following in the area. But it really needs to show a little more care when it comes to both the food and service.

The up north supper club is quite an experience, we enjoyed it. Old fashioned menu. Not as fancy as I thought it would be. Food and service were good.

My family and I spent the last night of our up-north weekend eating at Clearview Supper Club. My in-laws had been there before, but my husband and I had not. We arrived early to have a drink at the bar. It was only 5pm (on a Sunday,) so it wasn't busy. The bar was spacious and super cozy. I loved the Halloween lights they had hanging around the bar. Super festive! The bartender was incredibly sweet and efficient. The cocktails were delicious and the wine list was more than decent. When we sat for dinner, the dining room was also festive, warm, and inviting. We ordered cheese curds and more drinks. The curds were okay, maybe a little over-breaded, but good. Our meals came with soup or salad. I ordered salad, and chose blue cheese for my dressing and was super pumped when the salad came out with not only blue cheese dressing, but a side of blue cheese crumbles as well! Our dinner came and I was very happy with the cook of my ribeye. There was a yummy char on the steak that was super good too. Of all the potato options, I chose garlic mashed. They tasted good, but were a little lukewarm if I'm being honest and not as creamy as I had hoped. Still good though, I didn't regret ordering them. My husband loved his ribs and chicken and my in-laws loved their meals too. I think we have found a new "go-to" dinner spot for our cabin weekends. Can't wait to return?

Good was great and do was the atmosphere...authentic WI Supper Club...staff was friendly

We called multiple times, even a day ahead to make sure that we could fit a party of 13, but there was no answer. We were the first people to show up a couple minutes before they opened. We walked inside and told one of the girls we had 13 people. The manager (I believe) came from the back and said she can not seat us and we should have called ahead of time. When said that we have called she made a bunch of excuses and was really rude.

The service was the best part of our Clearview experience. Our waitress, Kristine was AMAZING! A totally delightful and upbeat server. Food was average for a supper club. The famous prime rib was unfortunately nothing special. It wasn't juicy but better with the au jus and creamy horseradish. The baked French onion soup was peppery as was the regular creamy chicken and rice soup. The wild rice served to my uncle had obviously been sitting in the pot a long time! Gooey! The walleye looked good and was reported to be so. The homemade apple pie was delish as was the ice cream drinks. I would not classify this as a supper club as I think of one as more upscale with linens, not plastic table clothes, or flimsy paper napkins with dusty fake flowers on the table. Prices however are equal to a supper club.

Was with 2 of my golf buddies and had a very enjoyable evening here. Great old lived in feel with lots of history, service by the bartender and Dana our waitress was outstanding and fun, and the food was very good as expected.

We had a fantastic meal at Clearview. Our server was Dana(?) and she was friendly, helpful and attentive. Old fashioned's were perfect. Had a starter of the poutine, fries and curds were great but the real start was the thick and flavorful beef gravy which brought the dish to life. That night they had a chicken pot pie soup which was hearty, creamy and seasoned deliciously. Entrees were the Chianti braised short rib ravioli in cream sauce (delicate, rich and full of flavor) and steak which was cooked perfectly. Loved the ambiance and experience as well as the food in this quirky north woods supper club that has a rich history.

My family & I had dinner here on a Wednesday about 6:15pm. We made a reservation. I had a shrimp dish and it was good. My wife had the ahi tuna which wasn't very good. It was a classic Wisconsin supper club. The drinks were good. I'd eat here again. I recommend making a reservation. They are not open on Monday or Tuesday.

Started with a brandy old fashioned at the bar. Great northwoods atmosphere, log interior. The staff is fantastic and boy were they moving. Always checking to see if we needed anything. The prime rib, salmon & lobster were very good. Onion soup was fantastic. Cheese was broiled just right. We had a great evening!

We went to Clearview for their Saturday night prime rib special over the Fourth of July weekend and were surprised by the increase in price of their "special"! The price of their queen prime rib was listed as $36.99 on their specials board and when we received our bill they actually charged us $39.99. When I pointed out the discrepancy to the cashier she said that it was due to the increase in the price of beef - OK (yes, she actually said OK after her statement). I told her "no, it was not OK" paid the overcharge and left knowing we would not be returning! The prime rib was average and I'm sure that we can get better prime rib at that price somewhere else without the attitude. If there were a separate star rating for each amenity I would give our waitress five stars because she was outstanding!

I'm sad to write that this was the only meal on our trip that wasn't very good. The fish was as bland as can be and the lettuce was white. This was a 1970's meal and we were really disappointed. Also, someone's kids were running up and down the dining room and patrons were clearly annoyed. The place itself had a lovely feel and my hope is that we were there on a night that wasn't the norm.

Monday night, Steak night did not disappoint. Italian sausage and Kale soup to start was excellent. 3 people in our party had prime rib, 1 porterhouse steak, 1 filet stuffed w mushroom. We all were very happy with our meals. Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

Their Friday night menu was disappointing. My husband ordered the walleye fish fry. The fish was dry and he spent dinner chewing bones. His potato pancakes were burnt on one side, but hey. If you serve that side down, maybe we wont notice. My bluegills were good, potato pancakes were very dark but not burned. Clam chowder should NOT be watery and should actually contain clams. The dining room they sat us in definitely had a mold problem. My husbands mold allergy immediately went crazy. We wont be back.

I love this place for so many reasons! We just finished a week up in St. Germain and this was a perfect spot to stop after taking the sleds out at night. The food and service is spectacular. I couldn't believe how quickly the waitress responded to one of my nephew's spilling water- we're talking seconds. More importantly, I ended up leaving my wallet and the owner touched base with some of the locals we were hanging out with. They contacted me to let me know she had it. I reached out and she mailed it out the next day to Chicago for me. You won't get that kind of above-and-beyond customer service here! :) Thank you for making our trip wonderful and I can't wait to stop in next year

We (a group of 4 guys) went to Clearview after my father said he had a bad experience the last time he was there. We chalked it up to a bad night and thought we would give it a second chance. We went in for a Friday fish fry. Two of us tried the smelt fry and two of us tried the perch fry. Unfortunately the smelt were half fishy tasting and half good. 50% of the smelt had a fishy taste to them. The perch fry seemed over done. The perch seemed to be over fried and were dry. At $15.99 for the perch and somewhere similar for the smelt I would not waste the trip or the time. Also the potato pancakes that came with one of the smelt frys had been burnt pretty good. Hard to believe this place has 4 stars. This is the second time I had a bad experience and will not be back. Very disappointed!!!

Made a reservation for 7 pm on a Saturday night. Ordered the prime rib and was told they only had two end pieces left. Decided to try them as they were also out of lobster, ribs, and other items we were wanting. Was served overly well done pieces of basically beef roast at this point. Complained to the waitress and was only given $5.00 off. We were basically charged full price for meat that shouldn't have ever been served. Shame on them for ripping us off. Will never be returning. Bad news certainly travels faster than good.

Great service !! violet went above and beyond. Firs time and can't wait to get back.

Didn't have time to take any pictures because we were so hungry!!!!! Everything from drinks, to food, to service was spot on. Our server, Patty, did a wonderful job and was attentive and efficient. There was 5 of us and we all got different courses- chicken Marsala, steaks, pork chops, and a chicken Kiev. Each entree was delicious. For the reasonable price you are paying the food- it is WELL worth it. Definitely making this a regular spot.

Clearview has been one of our family favorites since the 80's! An old fashioned northwoods resort bar with, of course, excellent old-fashioneds! The baby walleye is fresh and tasty, the chicken marsala is excellent and the prime rib is 'primo'! The have great french fries too! Chris is always an excellent host and Violet is fun! This is NOT a sports bar, it's a very comfortable dining room.

Clearview is a standard Northwoods Supper Club which is convenient from a lot of the different lodging options on Big Saint Germain Lake such as Lofty Pines where I stay sometimes. They make a nice cocktail and have a large, if strangely set up and underutilized bar area, in addition to a restaurant space with old school décor with a fairly nice view. I usually go on Friday's for the fish fry which is quite good and very reasonably priced - it's clearly frozen fish but it's cooked well at Clearview and comes with some nice enough sides so you have a tasty meal for under $10. I got a steak one time and it was not great so if you go with the more basic options you'll have an enjoyable Northwoods meal. Let's be honest, nobody in the area is doing, fresh seasonal cuisine so just go with the flow, don't expect anything too fancy, and complement your meal with an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or some other classic cocktail. That's how you gotta roll in the Northwoods and Clearview does it pretty well. (FYI, they don't accept American Express but that's fairly standard for the Northwoods)

Staff is awesome. They explained the menu and provided an awesome mix of wonderful meals from the melt in you mouth ribeye to the yummy shrimp tacos we walked away very satisfied. Recommend you visit and enjoy.

Classic north woods supper club. Great atmosphere, with friendly service. The food was exactly what I would expect from a supper club. Nice change of pace from suburb dinning. I definitely see myself coming back the next time I am in the area.

Have been coming up to the St. Germain area for over 40 years. Have been to Clearview many times. This last time was wasn't good. When questioned the server told the three couples that we could split the bill when we went to pay. We did that but was given a hard time about it. Four of us ordered Bloody Mary's. The drinks were so thin you could see through the drink. This would be our last time. Don't need water downed drinks and cranky cashiers taking our money. Also they need to be more conspicuous with there posting of charging 4% for the use of a credit card.

Meh. Poorly seasoned food, probably great for old folks on cardiac diets, I suppose... Got the walleye and wasn't impressed. The fish was fresh, but it was over breaded and bland. Shameful to do that to a walleye. The bartender mixed a lovely old fashioned though and the atmosphere was nice enough. Went with a group of five, and nobody had much to say good or bad. Everything was pretty standard, but nothing stood out. I wasn't disappointed, but I won't go back, either. Too many other options for outstanding food nearby.

We liked their food. But, during a pandemic no masks really sucks. They have a mask sign on the outside of their door but many people come into there without wearing masks. And, not just the visitors but also the staff. We saw the cook come out and talk to a table with no mask on. Our hostess couldn't wear her mask over her nose. It starts with them. I work and have to wear a mask for 12 hours. And, it's not hard. Very disappointed

Classic Wisconsin supper-club style bar/restaurant. The service here is very friendly and prompt. Love the bar, even if it's a little tight in there at times. The bartenders are very friendly and seems most everyone at the bar is drinking an Old Fashioned. I would like to see them up the ante when it comes to quality and taste of food. We've only gone for the fish fry, and they need to work on their breading/flavor, and not over sauce their coleslaw. Rye bread is great, as are the potato pancakes made with chives. If they can improve on the fish fry (though the selection is nice - haddock, blue gill, baby walleye, or shrimp fry), we'd be regulars when up north.

Northwoods Gem! Tucked away in St. Germain, Wisconsin - Clearview Super Club is an instant favorite. Visit for the food and spirits but stay for the welcoming and friendly staff (Kris, Violette & Bev). Located off the shores of Big St.Germain Lake this warm and cozy spot is easily accessible by car or snowmobile. Great appetizers and entrees. Don't miss the Prime Rib on Saturday Nights - the best!

Very ho-hum. If you're looking for fine dining in St. Germaine Id look somewhere else. Food was fine, but expected more for the prices.

I have been frequenting this place for many years as I often fish in the area. There is always a wait on Saturday nights but that doesn't bother me as the have plenty of bar space to enjoy a cocktail while you wait. What has bothered me was that during our last three visits, they ran out of Prime Rib! For this visit, we actually arrived ~1 hour earlier than we normally do just to be certain we would get the prime rib - WRONG! Albeit, this weekend was a very busy weekend due to a fishing tournament sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and the annual Cranberry Festival in Eagle River. Knowing this one would think they would have over prepared for the added guests due to the spike in tourism. The first time this happened, the manager did offer us an alternate steak at the special price of the prime rib which was kind and welcomed; nothing was offered the other times. On a positive note, the Pork Prime Rib from the menu was a delicious alternative.

Went specifically for Friday fish fry. A bit of a wait, but that's to be expected. Great service and the variety of fish is also good. Tasty perch and cod; crispy, tender and not greasy. Bar service was great as well. Would go again and order the same.

Typical North Woods supper club. Nice menu here of steaks with the usual fish fry on Fridays and Prime Rib on Saturdays. Friendly staff and they make a nice SoCo old fashioned sweet at the bar. We rode our sleds here for a snowy Sunday evening dinner and everyone was very happy.
