This place is a hidden northwoods gem! If you are in the Cable area you simply must give it a try. We’ve eaten here many times over the years and have never been anything less than thrilled with our meal. Beautiful decor, excellent food, a nice wine list, great service, and the best greeter anywhere (Arwen the Black Lab) all make for a memorable experience!

This is a fine North Woods dining experience, but with the time it takes to get your food the experience is over and gone south! The Pork Loin was terrific! The Root vegetable rissoto was a mess, uncooked butter and no vegetables F-. The waitress was upbeat and nice but the overall experience was a big let down. The grade was a solid "D" for don't.

Fabulous place...with a lovely wine list. Food a little pricey but also delicious. The musician they had for New Year's Eve was a nice compliment to the entire evening.

We went for a birthday celebration. Food was out of the ordinary, so unexpected for a Pub:) Desserts were wonderful, we had the Key Lime pie, so good. If you are looking to have a dining experience to remember, eat at the Rookery!
