Dear Friends,
Although the Wisconsin Supreme Court has overturned the ‘Safer at Home’ order, at this time we, Connie and Tim at the Big Easel, do not plan to resume dine-in service until we receive further clarification to do so safely. We will continue to offer our to-go Heat and Eat service on Saturdays. The health and well-being of everyone remains our top priority.
To order your Saturday Heat & Eat take out, please call 715.889.1179
We will continue our Saturday Night Chef’s Table with various themes and scrumptious offerings. Call for information on what the offering is this week!
Join us for the last Chefs Table of the year on Saturday, December 28th.
The Nuove Anno theme will include Tomato Basil Soup, Garlic Shrimp, Insalata Rucola, Pesto Tortellini, Beef Tenderloin, Porchetta, Risi e Bisi, Panna Cotta, and complimentary glass of bubbly!
Call for reservations.
