Congratulations to the Skare family … The Cookery Restaurant &; Wine Bar will be opening its doors this Thursday, June 4!
After a very busy spring, the restaurant building is now complete with a few final touches going on this week.
When they open Thursday, they will be serving lunch and dinner daily. Ther lunch menu will have many of your favorite sandwiches like the turkey, cream cheese and cherry chutney sandwich, and of course, whitefish chowder! The dinner menu has some new items that we are very excited about. For example, a ribeye (locally raised in Kewaunee County) with a balsamic caper vinaigrette. They also have a lamb kebob that will be marinated in our house dry rub.
On Saturday and Sunday they will be open for brunch. Brunch will consist of our breakfast menu that is prepared to order. This menu includes the majority of your favorite Cookery breakfast items such as our omelettes, buttermilk pancakes and granola french toast with cherry sauce. They are coining this meal as “brunch” because they are now offering the brunch menu from 8 am until 2 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Plus, they will have brunch cocktails, like mimosas, to enjoy with your brunch, perfect for the new outdoor porch.
The restaurant’s hours will be:
Monday - Friday, 11 am - 9 pm
Saturday & Sunday, 8 am - 9 pm
AND … They are introducing a new wine bar. The wine bar is located on the second level of the restaurant. It consists of a bar with nine seats, tables in the lounge area as well as a deck with a water view.
The wine bar will be a great place to have a glass of wine or beer before dinner, a light dinner from our bar menu or dessert after the theater!
The bar menu consists of appetizers and small plates such as brie with caramelized onions and four berry jam baked in puffed pastry, our whitefish chowder, bacon wrapped dates, and bison sliders with cabernet onions. We will also offer our dessert menu in the wine bar.
The wine list will consist of a nice selection of both red and white wines by the glass as well as reserve bottles.
On Saturdays and Sundays, the wine bar will also be open for espresso and bakery.
The hours in the wine bar will be the following:
Monday - Friday, 11 am - 11 pm
Saturday & Sunday, 8 am - 11 pm
