Actually, this is a review of the Grafton Ale House. North Star Bistro took over the kitchen operations for this location and the Downtown Milwaukee Ale House.

I can't figure it out or rather how bad was the Ale House food before if what they currently have is considered a positive move to increase business.

Had a Groupon and decided to head to Grafton. The actual space is great. The did a nice job on it and the staff was very friendly and they wer extremely busy. I actually emailed Groupon to take them up on their offer of 100% satisfaction or your money back guranteed/no questions. Groupon was amazing and issued a full refund literally ASAP.

This food was a complete joke. One of the nightly specials was cheese ravioli w/ spinach. So, they take frozen/pre-made cheese ravioli and cook it and toss in a few pieces of spinach to mix in w/ a completely tasteless red sauce.

The other entree was Shrimp Scampi. I asked the waitress if the shrimp was fresh and she said she believed it was frozen. I can kind of understand that. Though the pasta was hard and most likely out of the box.

Now this Schrimp Scampi was $17.00 and was you received were 2 pieces of crostini, 6 med-large shrimp on a small bed of undercooked out of the box pasta in a very bland sauce.

I don't know how they stay open w/ that kind of food, yet the real money is in the liquor and maybe after a few drinks the patrons don't even realize what they are eating.

Was hoping for better.

I've been consistently disappointed in the quality of their food since they moved to their new location. I was hoping that it was just 'growing pains' from the move, but after several months it seems that they just aren't able to deliver at the same level that they did in their former location.

***

Inattentive waitstaff and slimy spinach in the salad made for a less than memorable experience at North Star. The new patio is great, hope they can bring service and food to a higher level.

Had a cozy watch-the-snowfall Moscow Mule tonight and my friend had a hot chocolate! Cozy and possible to have a long conversation without much interruption.
