green bay at hinterland

so good!!!! service is great, drinks are even better.menuchanges but everything i've ever had there has exceeded expectations. atmosphere and decorations are wonderful, i am excited for the new location by lambeau to go up!

had a very pleasant dinner here with a colleague. food & beer were both absolutely fantastic. goat cheese curds were the perfect unique appetizer.
as for my entree, i had the cobia which was awesome! very unique dish that was very flavorful. of course as a brewery, they brew their own beer and provided a nice selection including seasonals. i enjoyed the saison.
i have to mention that our server was very, very good. she was excellent with her knowledge of themenuand the beers. which was very good because the food took a little while longer than expected.
overall though, a positive experience and a winner.

what can i say, hinterland has been such a huge part of our lives. we have quite literally had hundreds of meals here, and had some of our most important life events catered by hinterland.

let me just put this into perspective. my husband and i were married in napa, and our wedding dinner was held at the french laundry. we did a lot of comparing to hinterland during the meal, and hinterland holds it weight, no problem.

really quality meats and fish, oysters when they are on the menu, amazing vegetables and grains. i f i could make them taste like that i'd eat a hell of a lot more of them. great wines, and their mixologists are fantastic.
chef kelly is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet,
do we have our favoritemenuitems? yes.
our favorite drinks? yes.
our favorite servers? yes.
have there been mistakes? of course. no one is perfect.

there's no question that hland is the top restaurant in green bay. hands down.

incredible fish. hinterland is an exceptional place for dinner. you expect places like this in chicago or new york, but we are pleased have one here at home! along with the fresh fish flown in daily they embrace local garden vegetables, fresh beef and pork from area farmers. become a regular and you will find out what great service is all about. the staff is extremely knowledgeable about food, wine, and microbrew. if given a few days notice, they can put together a fabulous five course tastingmenuand pair with wines that enhance the experience even more.

met my girlfriend for after work drinks and dinner on a thursday. the atmosphere and decor are standout for green bay. we loved the beer, ipa for me and the cherry wheat for her. the ribeye was perfectly cooked and presented, and my girlfriend wouldnt stop raving about the pork loins.


service was impeccable. brought us the barmenuto survey just in case and explained every meal we inquired about exquisitely. if your party enjoys relaxing and some privacy, this place is for you. if you want the wait staff stopping every 30 seconds i would suggest a lower dining establishment. will be returning regularly. two entrees and a few drinks ran us around 100 with tip. very much worth it.

come here for the beer.. a definite standout establishment in the green bay area. the atmosphere is like a grand, modern, urban, cavernous, lounge in a hunting lodge (trust me, it works.) a few more words to describe their ambiance; concrete, candlelight, dark wood, purple velvet, freight elevator, terra cotta, fireplace, moose head, driftwood, seasonal, crisp, intelligent.

i enjoy the fact that they don't demand that you dress formal for such an upscale looking place. we sat next to a gentleman once who (how can i say this...) looked like a bum off the street. turns out he was a regular and comes here because he loves the people, the conversation, the atmosphere and most importantly, the beer. when you come into a place like this it's about enjoying what they have to offer, not impressing the ladies (or guys.)

i also like the variety of music that they play upstairs in the lounge, it's not always your stereotypical jazz, they like to throw in a couple a indie tunes once in a while. they also have only one television on low volume making it much less douche-y than your typical green bay bar/lounge. kudos for that.

hinterland is both a brewery and a restaurant but to be honest, my husband and i visit more often because he wants to enjoy something off the drinkmenunot the food menu. he absolutely loves the beer here, he (and all other male specimens that i know in the fox valley) claim that hinterland brews the best beer in the midwest. my father-in-law even stores his own beer stein here dedicated to hinterland's taps.

onto their food: we have eaten here twice, once for appetizers only and once for a full dinner (apps through desserts.) both times our experiences were excellent but not exquisite. their portion sizes are definitely smaller than what the crowd is used to up here in the midwest but are portioned perfectly to allow patrons to enjoy a full tour of what their variedmenuhas to offer.

with that said, there's nothing on thismenuthat an avid, competent home cook couldn't make in their own kitchen with access to the same ingredients (ie, truffles and truffle oil.) the food is definitely overpriced for what it is.

five stars for upping the ante in the green bay restaurant scene. minus one star for upping the price tag a bit too optimistically.

how about a $4 hamburger? we tried hinterland the other night despite elliot's scathing review. thank-god we ignored him, the place is amazing. we ordered off the tapasmenuwhich is not only affordable, but delicious and it really makes for a fun dining experience. we had a fantastic meal in a great atmosphere and didn't see raspberry sauce anywhere. i highly suggest checking out the tapasmenuin the lounge to everyone looking for a dining experience unique to green bay. i especiall recomend hinterland to elliot because it is obvious he has never been there...

i am a great fan of hinterland but urban spoon is so wrong on pricing. it's more like 50 to 100 dolars a meal not 15 to 20 maybe on the kidsmenuthat's how much the food is
