Guidebook for La Crosse
Food Scene
Our personal favorite! Part of the restaurant is in the original La Crosse train station so has beautiful stone walls and an antique train car outside. Their food is outstanding, in particular their steaks and crab legs - well any of their seafood for that matter. There is live music in the bar most weekends and they have a lovely outside deck for dining and drinks in warm weather.
