As the 'showcase' restaurant of The American Club, The Immigrant has (almost) all of the standout components you'd expect from a DiRoNa award winning fine dining establishment... 1. Exceptional contemporary cuisine 2. Experienced and knowledgeable waitstaff 3. Expert Sommalier 4. Extravagant sweets 5. Expensive price tag Apparently I like 'E' words... and yes, I also really enjoy The Immigrant as my fancy night out while visiting the Kohler establishments as well. My dinners are always flawless and immensely tasty to boot. Upon my most recent visit, the new Spring menu had been unleashed and my meal looked a little something like this... To Start: Sevruga Caviar served with toasted pain de mie, clarified butter, lemon and chives. First Course: Truffle Honey-Lacquered Quail Breast Mid-Course: Black Truffle & Artichoke Soup w. fried Quail Egg, Lemon and Pepper Mousse Entrée: Assiette of Colorado Lamb Tenderloin, Shank, and Sausage w. Vegetable Profiterole, Sweet Onion Marmalade, Stone-Ground Mustard Sauce Cheese Course: Evolution of Cheddar: Fresh Curd, 90 day, 1 year Aged Hook's-Mineral Point, WI 3 year, 5 year, 7 year, 10 year and 12 year Aged My favorite by far was that lacquered quail breast... holy moly... distinctive with such a great unique mix of sweet honey, crunchy skin and salty truffle undertones! Mmm. I'm salivating a little just thinking of it... to whom it may concern, please bury me with numerous servings of these savory treasures when I go. Thanks. The lamb was also pure decadence; so flavorful, moist and served with a gorgeous presentation of veggies en croute... it was not light fare by any means, but when in Wisco, right? The caviar and cheese, of course, are just decadent add ons but totally worth the splurge! Caviar served with butter? It's like Cheesecake served with a side of Foie Gras. Pure unadulterated gluttony. They obviously saw me coming a mile away ::snicker:: So why the 4 stars, right? Solely based on décor, Kids. The restaurant is divided into 6 rooms that are designed to reflect the European style of early Wisconsin settlers. Conceptually, I get it... the resort is old, the history is significant, but seriously... the look is total snoozeville. Dark, conservative, unadventurous, old-fashioned... oh and super quiet... with no music playing in the background and everyone in hushed voices, after all of the spa massaging and relaxing this place puts me right to sleep! Plus with the division of the rooms and the restaurant rarely at full capacity - there are 8 other resort dining options to choose from - it gives off a bit of a vacant vibe at times. Knock down those tea pot clad walls, update everything with muted tones and modern touches, match the contemporary look of the spa to the forwardness of this cuisine and you'd have a 5 star total package.

The Immigrant offers a first rate restaurant experience: surrounding space, service, menu, wine list and ultimately, taste. It's well worth the price (about $120 pp including bottle of wine in the $60s). The restaurant is located in the basement of the American Club; yet not for a moment do you notice that you are in a basement. The decor and the separation of the dining area into small intimate rooms is ingenious. The staff are knowledgeable, polite, friendly, accommodating and absolutely not overbearing. The menu is well designed and has something for everyone. Plate after plate we enjoyed superbly prepared dishes with premium ingredients. After our dinner we stopped at the adjacent Winery bar for an after dinner drink. Overall, a very enjoyable experience at one of the finest restaurants in the Midwest.

Friday seafood buffet, third time in as many years. Excellent quality, service and beautiful decor. The fresh seafood is my draw - the oysters our evening were almost better than what I had in Boston and Maine. We seem to visit in September - the drive is pretty too.

Spent the weekend at the American Club and had dinner at the Immigrant Room. It was fabulous!!! From the moment you get to the host stand until you leave, everyone is incredibly friendly, helpful, attentive but not intrusive. You go in knowing that it will be on the expensive side, so no bill shock at the end of the meal. We felt it was well worth every penny. We did the tasting menu w/wine pairings and were not disappointed. Food tasted very fresh and well preparaed, wine pairings hit the mark every time. Angel was our watiress and she was great, again attentive but also allowed for us to have a wonderful 2 hr dining experience without feeling rushed, but also not waiting around for the next course. A perfect spot to spend a romantic dinner out. Can't wait to go back!

I am sorry, but three Yelp reviews of this restaurant is not an acceptable number. This is the premier restaurant of the American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin. First, let's acknowledge that I'm a pain in the ass when it comes to restaurants. If they're going to charge me top end prices, I want a top end experience. I'm willing to pay, but I expect the best. When I'm several hours outside Chicago, I'm ready to lower my standards. But not by much. Forget lowering standards. The Immigrant Restaurant can compete with any restaurant anywhere. (OK, maybe not Bouley or Les Nomades - but I said "compete," not "beat.") This is a first class restaurant, from the service to the food. Our meal was well paced, the waiter was engaging and well-informed (says the pain-in-the-ass reviewer), and the food was terrific. Black truffle and wild mushroom risotto, with shaved black truffle, Servecchio Parmesan cheese and mushroom cream. A main course of veal cheeks and halibut cheeks. I asked for their best shot at a stinky soft cheese, and they brought me Benedictine cheese from Mauston WI, which I liked so much the next week I bought some by mail order (it's really not that stinky). Cashew, caramel and maldon sea salt petit fours sec, with hazelnut and peanut butter mousse. We really had a memorable first-class experience. I would recommend The Immigrant to anyone - so come on Yelpers, make the trip north.

While spending a romantic weekend away at the Kohlar Spa my husband had made reservations at the Immigrant Restaurant on his mission to eat at all the Michelin and 4/5 Diamond restaurants. I was a little skeptical that a restaurant in WI could really be a four diamond restaurant. The food and service did live up to the rating, everything was great. The only thing I would note is the service is a bit stuffy, they have a hard time adjusting to the table being ok with being a little more fun and not so formal.

My only wish is that I could give the Immigrant Room six stars. The food is prestigious and intentional; the service is impeccable every time and the experience is unforgettable. During my most recent stay at the American Club, we had reservations both Friday and Saturday night. When we arrived Friday night, I was reminded why we go here as soon as we walked in. The hostess beamed at the sight of us, like she was expecting us. She complimented my very pregnant and beautiful dinner companion and let's be honest, flattery will get you places. We sat, ordered a bottle of Opus One and the experience began. Our package through the American Club allowed each of us to select any five things that we desired off of the menu. Call us gluttons, but we took it as a challenge. I personally tried the following dishes: -Ahi tuna sashimi- holy wow. So fresh and tasty. I'm not a huge sashimi fan but this was so tender and had a delightful citrusy finish. -Atlantic sea scallops- we actually ordered this both Friday and Saturday nights. Scallops perfectly prepared and seasoned with very fine crisp potato shred that really balanced out the dish and finished with a little dab of caviar. -Black Truffle risotto-this appetizer was my favorite. Perfectly prepared risotto with black truffles, truffle oil and a nicely aged Parmesan. If you go, you must try this. -Seared Chilean sea bass- really great entree. The seafood at the Immigrant Room was unbelievably fresh and light. The layers of flavor were very intricate and deliberate. I Loved it. -Smoked bourbon strip loin- nummy, nummy, nummy! Get in my tummy! This was perfect. The smokiness, the bourbon flavor, garlic spinach and pearl onions were perfect when you got a little bit of each in the bite. I preferred this to the tenderloin. -Aged prime tenderloin- served with a truffle demi glaze. This was very good but again, not as good as the strip steak. I didn't even eat the potato just because I was so full. - seared Hudson Valley foie gras- This was a really interesting play on peanut butter and jelly. The Foie Gras was on a piece of French toast which was on a current reduction and topped with a peanut butter powder. It was a really delightful savory/ sweet dish. -Maine lobster and petite green salad- shockingly, this was the most forgettable dish. The salad wasn't incredible and the lobster was exceptionally fresh but completely flavorless. -Cheese- in the name of everything that is holy, do not overlook the cheese menu. There were three of us and we tried three different cheese flights but the aged cheddar was the best. -Chocolate and Carmel Dessert- oh my gosh. This dessert was O-face inducing. There is a chocolate and vanilla swirled creme brûlée, chocolate mouse topped with caramel powder and a salted caramel. I got this both nights and was smart enough to save more room for it on Saturday night. The wine list is amazing. They have a wine connoisseur on staff if you're indecisive. Fortunately, we were three ladies who knew what we wanted. Saturday night we had a bottle of 2008 Caymus Grand Reserve and it blew the 2006 Opus One we had on Friday out of the water. And it cost about $100 less. Overall, this is a restaurant that will provide a wow factor and experience that you will not soon forget.

Enjoyed the phenomenal 5-course NYE dinner here this year. Have to just list one note - I let the server know that I have a deathly seafood allergy and the pre-appertif that was brought to the table was indeed raw fish. It could have killed me, but another server brought out an alternative, thankfully! OTHERWISE - An incredible experience with the wine pairings - shout out to JOSH - our world-class sommelier who really impressed us all. Thank you Josh for your incredible and all-knowing service! Manager: give Josh a raise!! The portions on this 5-course were HUGE.. you definitely get the most for your money. We will return!

The Immigrant Restaurant possesses prestigious Four Diamond status courtesy of the AAA rankings. Having enjoyed a few Four Diamond venues in Chicago I was a little skeptical that a venue in little Kohler, WI would match up to some of Chicago's upper echelon restaurants, but was pleasantly surprised at the quality of our dining experience at the Immigrant Restaurant. We had spent the weekend at the American Club Resort (part of the Kohler Spa) and had booked a package that included dinner at their Italian venue; for $100 we were able to upgrade our dinner to the Immigrant Restaurant. The restaurant itself is comprised of six different small, intimate dining rooms each named after European country (we were seated in the French room). This is not a typical fine dining ambiance in that the restaurant is actually in the basement level of the American Club Resort, but they were nevertheless able to create an upscale (albeit somewhat dated) ambiance. There is lots of dark woods kind of reminiscent of a steakhouse but the fixtures and oversized chairs provide the feeling of being in a castle. Our primary server reviewed the options we had with our package. We could opt for the eight course Grand Tasting menu for a $45 per/person upcharge, the five course tasting menu for no surcharge or enjoy four courses off the la carte menu. They were very flexible and as we were contemplating what option to go with, he informed us that we could substitute an item from the a la carte menu for a course on the tasting menu. In the end we decided to order a la carte as there were a few appealing items that were not part of the tasting menu. The meal would have cost about $130-$135 per/person had we not had the package (excluding booze, but including service, tax and sparkling water plus coffee). Our appetizer was outstanding and was undoubtedly the best course (Black Truffle and Asparagus Risotto). The rest of the meal was very nice (and as good as you are going to get within an hour's drive), but not quite up to par with my favorite Chicago venues. For my second course I ordered the Grilled Prime Aged Tenderloin with Foie Gras that was a good cut of meat and well prepared; it came out rare as requested. The portioning for a fine dining venue was surprisingly large. Between the size of the steak and the richness, I actually was feeling rather satiated by the end of the second course. My third course was a cheese flight which was the weakest of the four courses; it featured local cheeses and although the crispy flat bread and accompaniments were nice (spiced nuts and dried fruit) the cheese itself was no better than what I can easily find at any large grocery store; the portions also were surprisingly large for this course and I was unable to polish off all the cheese. My dessert Bourbon and Peach Creme Brulee with cranberry ice cream and corn brittle was very good, but I was too full to finish it off; the corn brittle was my favorite part of the dessert, but they also did a great job caramelizing the top layer of the Creme Brulee. We ordered coffee along with dessert and this was served in a French Press and outstanding quality. Dinner also included bread service (three different types of homemade rolls) which were only fair; they were a tad stale tasting and seemed as though they had not been freshly baked that evening. Factoring in the amuse bouche and petit fours this was a virtual feast! The restaurant has a vast wine list, but unfortunately the mark up is extraordinarily high. I recognized some labels from recent dinners at fine dining venues in Chicago and seemed like Immigrant had them marked up an additional $20 to $25 dollars. When it comes to service at a fine dining venue I expect two components and hope for a third; the first two consist of attentive and polished service. The staff at the Immigrant Restaurant pass these with flying colors. The third component I hope for, but infrequently receive, is that the servers are personable rather than stuffy; in Chicago Grant Achatz' venues thrive in terms of providing a world class service yet the servers in addition to being as polished as one could imagine are also ultra friendly and personable and even humorous. Unfortunately the service at the Immigrant falls more in the stuffy than personable end of the spectrum (at first they seemed almost a tad uncomfortable when we attempted to chat with them about something other than the menu), though they did loosen up some as the meal progressed. A nice touch at the end of the meal was the host escorts you out of the restaurant, inquires about your experience and leaves you with a parting gift (a homemade chocolate covered rice crispie treat that made for an excellent snack the next day). Well the Immigrant Restaurant did not come close to delivering the best meal I have had, it was a good all around meal and experience and I will definitely return next time I am at the Kohler Spa.

I had the most memorable meal at the Immigrant Restaurant. This was our big meal during our weekend away and it was truly stellar. Everything was perfect. This is classic American dining at the finest level. I find the history of the resort to be great and that is especially true of the Immigrant Restaurant. It's in the lower level; giving a secluded feeling almost immediately. We were seated in the Dutch Room. It was very intimate and quiet. Every area had its own character and charm, but didn't leave the restaurant feeling disjointed.The waitstaff was phenomenal. Definitely polished: appropriately personable, helpful, and unobtrusive. The food was unbelievable. The evening started with caviar and only got better. The Lobster and Shellfish Stew was delicious and so was the Prime Tenderloin. We also ordered the Evolution of Cheddar Cheese Flight, which I highly recommend. Portions were deceptively large and even though we chose against the tasting menu, the tastes all complimented each other very well and everything was exquisitely presented. The wine list was opulent and it would have been almost impossible to make any decision, but the sommelier certainly did a fantastic job. The meal was really designed to be for each individual. You certainly pay for such an experience, but it really is a first rate (Four-Star) dining experience. .

Very good food. Portions are on the small side but the service and ambiance is great!

While spending part of honeymoon at The American Club, we made reservations at the Immigrant Restaurant. We highly recommend dinner there.
(5)Jen M.
This place is wonderful. My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Kohler and this was by far our favorite meal. Highlights include the pork belly and lobster entree (so soft and flavorful) and the petit fours dessert. It is expensive, but you definitely get what you paid for!

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic anniversary dinner in this tasteful and understated restaurant on 1/18/15. To begin, this is a very popular restaurant, and this is for good reasons. The service and cuisine were both on par with the best Wisconsin has to offer. And excellent service did not exclude friendliness. We felt very welcome. Following a complimentary palate pleaser, the Starters we selected were quite excellent. The Tiger Prawns were large and delicious, and well presented. The Baby Tomato salad brought a variety of flavors and textures. For the main course we were both attracted to the 30 Day Aged Prime Tenderloin. The meat was pretty much everything you could hope it would be and the portion was generous enough without being amazing. The cognac reduction was very nice. For dessert we both had the Caramel Apple Whiskey Cake. We were puzzled by the description which seemed to combine components that could not be combined. Well, all I can say is try it. They have created a dessert dish of memorable qualities. Last, we tried an item off the Artisanal cheese menu. The Black Sheep Truffle made from sheep's milk. Again, we were amazed. Not by just the delicious cheese itself, but by the many other palate pleasers accompanying the cheese. Delicious food, excellent and friendly service, in a subdued buy attractive atmosphere. For these reasons I say 5 Stars.

Was very disappointed with dinner. First of all we couldn't get reservations before seven because they were booked. We arrived at 7:30 and the place was nearly empty. Ordered the ribeye and asked for a ten ounce cut ounce instead of the 6. Was mostly marbled fat. Seriously one to two ounces of meat at the most! Asked to talk to the chef and he seemed put off. They took off $40 from the cost of the meat so we ended up paying $160 for that gross piece! That was more then our bottle of Camus at $150! I was in shock! Also ordered which is basically a truffle spaghetti and was disappointed. Could not taste the truffle except for a hint of truffle salt. Kinda dry and not much flavor. When I spend that much money for dinner I expect it to be good at worst and better then I can make at home. I don't like to make negative reviews but I was a little upset. Maybe the chef had an off night. I hope so.

We celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary tonight at Immigrant Room. Beautiful new wine bar, we haven't been here in ten years. Had Cocktails, I thought $20 for a short glass of Cakebread chardonnay was a little high and $9 for Tito on the rocks. We ordered the 5 course dinner with wine pairings. $230. 3 thin carving of truffle on 50 cent size pasta, additional $50; oops missed that notation. Kobe beef 4 oz additional $40. Kobe beef total fat, didn't eat it. Asparagus soup salty. Our dinner was $510 not including the $110 tip we left. It wi) be another 10 years before we visit again.

We had the 5 course tasting menu-so good! We were so full that we had to have the last 2 tony desserts wrapped to go. We couldn't fit one more thing into our mouths! Dark, quiet, intimate. Perfect for couples. Downstairs in the American club.

To achieve a five-star rating in my book, a restaurant has to completely blow me away and create an food experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. As such, I've only had two five-star dining experiences in my life, the first of which was at The Immigrant Restaurant under Chef Ryan Anderson's brillant selections and sommelier Heather Kanter-Kowal's experienced pairings. To be very clear, we dined off the restaurant's main menu - our meal was completely unique. My boyfriend called to speak to the chef at The Immigrant Restaurant well in advance of our stay at The American Club to communicate his vision for the perfect romantic evening. He explained that he wanted to sample the finest cheeses the state of Wisconsin had to offer and pair those cheeses with wines that truly brought out their flavors. He established a budget and allowed Chef Anderson and Ms. Kanter-Kowal to do the rest. The result was one of the most amazing meals of my life. Our five-course wine and cheese flight was an evolution of flavor, from the dry Sartori SarVecchio Parmesan (Antigo), paired with a beautiful glass of Dom Perignon champagne, to the Hook's Twelve-Year Aged Cheddar (Mineral Point) accompanied by milk chocolate and blueberry, paired with a Cabernet Sauvignon from Joseph Phelps Vineyards in Napa Valley. The cheeses were incredible - such diverse tastes and with the perfect pairings. Chef Anderson compiled a truly interesting selection and built it in such a way that we were able to experience an amazing spread of ages, textures and flavors. And Ms. Kanter-Kowal chose wines that perfectly paired with the cheese and the result was a symphony of sense and flavor. Her selections were absolutely inspired, and I commend her for a job very well done. She really demonstrated her knowledge and expertise. Again, our evening at The Immigrant Restaurant was a meal designed specifically for us and not typical of the dining experience there - but what it should tell you is that the staff are willing to go above and beyond to meet your expectations and wishes. They not only provided us with one of the best meals of our lives, but did so with such friendliness and professionalism that we didn't just dine here, we experienced here. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough and only hope you experience something as divine as we did.
(5)Chris C.
We tried this place out while spending a weekend at the American Club. This is their finest restaurant in the resort. I enjoyed my dining experience while here. The service was superb and they were good at providing that extra TLC for those who were there for a special occasion. I agree with other yelpers that the cheese plate is not to be ignored. I had the steak which was great as well. Their wine list is amazing but definitely pricey. The Immigrant is a great option for a special occasion dinner. The ambiance and service are superb and the food is pretty good too.
(4)Justin O.
A great romantic dinner restaurant with phenomenal service. We had the scallops, the prime tenderloin, and the chocolate and carmel dessert. All of it delicious. The servers were friendly and very attentive. There's some interesting history behind the immigrant room, and the whole hotel, I'd recommend visiting.

A young man of 19 at best comes around with a tray. I cannot tell what is in it as it is above my eye level. I am lost in his eyes, or at least the glare from his glasses, as he describes what he is about to present to my grandfather and I. I just want to know what is on the tray but there is no way to know through his words. He finally places the tray upon the table and I realize that it is simply butter, salt, and pepper for the bread (which was stale and hard to eat (luckily for them thats how i like my bread)). Little did I know, that would be the best butter, salt, and pepper that I have ever had in my life. I would rate 5 stars but during silent moments between my grandfather and I, all I could hear was other diners loudly yapping about abortions and jokes about poor people.

We went here during a weekend at the American Club resort. This is differently a Four Diamond showcase restaurant! The Immigrant restaurant offers contemporary cuisine and a romantic atmosphere, the restaurant is arranged in a series of six rooms decorated in the European style of early Wisconsin settlers: French, Dutch, German, Normandy, Danish and English. We were located in the German room. The waitress was so friendly and very helpful when it came to ordering from the cheese menu which was wonderful! I love cheese! We ordered the Aged Cheddars 5-Year Aged Cheddar, 7-Year Aged Cheddar and 10-Year Aged Cheddar. The 5-year cheddar just melted in your mouth and the 10 year was oh so tasty! I loved it so much we went and bought some the very next day. It is not cheap. We purchased 1lb for $26.00! We started dinner off with a bottle of red wine Caymus Vineyards, Rutherford 2009. I had the Pan-Seared Tasmanian King Salmon and my husband had the Grilled Prime-Aged Tenderloin and Seared Foie Gras. We were both very pleased with our selection. Jackets are required for gentlemen, and reservations are strongly suggested. Make sure to go early so you can enjoy the Winery bar americanclubresort.com/r… we started our evening out there before dinner.

I am not the first one to review this place since most people have written great reviews about this restaurant in their reviews of the American Club. I really enjoyed my dining experience. The table were not so close to the other tables so you and your dinner companion had privacy. The waitress / waiter/ sommelier had knowledge about the food/wine pairing. The staff was very professional and treated their customers with respect. I ordered the lobster risotto (YUM!), salad, and wild boar (meat was so tender and juicy!). The food presentation was beautiful and the food was delicious. The wines that went with our food were very good. If you come to the American Club- this is a place you cannot miss!
(5)Heidi S.
This was a delightful restaurant. I had the grilled lamb loin with spicy harissa and and grilled vegetable ratatouille... my mom and I split the chef's special for the first course entree -- I think it was quail. The wait staff was excellent -- friendly, accommodating, professional -- you could walk into this restaurant in coveralls and I think they'd still treat you with the same friendly courtesy. Our sommelier was witty, funny, and charming, without being too obtrusive at our table. I just can't say enough about this restaurant!!!!

We went here during a weekend at the American Club resort. The restaurant is located on the lower level of the American Club and you access it through a narrow dark hallway (almost like you're on the way to a crypt). Jackets are required for men (ties are not). Service was efficient and friendly. The cuisine is American regional using (what I think are) fresh ingredients. The wine list is deep (but, requires a second mortgage). The not-to-be ignored cheese list is very extensive featuring many Wisconsin cheeses. We skipped desert and enjoyed a fabulous cheese course (the adjoining bar also features the same cheese menu and we liked it so much we made a point of going to the bar and enjoying the cheese course the next evening).
