The hotel clerk recommended this place and told me it was the best food in the area. I couldn't agree more. It's a strange setting because it's in a residential area but once inside, the decor is very nice. I had the NY Strip and it had to be the thickest pieces of strip I've ever seen. The flavor was amazing. All the food we had was very good and the wait staff is very attentive. The prices are a little high but the food was well worth it. That's the only thing holding me back from a 5 Star rating.

Having eaten at the restaurant on more than ten occasions over the last few years, I have developed a fairly good sense of the range and quality of the menu items, the general level of service, and the restaurant's overall "vibe". I give this restaurant my very highest recommendation. First of all, the restaurant is run by an executive chef who is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. The majority of noteworthy personalities in culinary circles are graduates of this institution. I don't know how many C.I.A. grads run Wausau area restaurants, but I would venture to guess very few. In addition to this esteemed credential, the chef has 25 years of experience, the majority of which includes some of the very top restaurants in south Florida. One look at the WISH menu and you will see this isn't typical Wisconsin supper club fare of steak, lobster and Friday fish fry. Interesting and unusual daily specials written on the chalkboard near the entrance, a range of salads (there is no salad bar), and the soups...the soups are particularly noteworthy. The chef has been specializing in soups literally for the past two decades. He has lobster bisque and tomato, as well as a different soup special each day. If nothing else, go in just for the daily soup special! The seafood portion of the menu includes fish--halibut, salmon and walleye--plus a daily fish special. Weekly specials include shrimp scampi, walleye, and whitefish boil. King crab and lobster can be ordered as sides. The seafood is mostly flown in fresh daily from a provider in Boston. The true focus of the menu is on the steaks--nearly all of which are sourced from Allen Brothers in Chicago. The fact that the steaks come from Allen Brothers is significant. Some of the very best restaurants in the country get their steaks from them--Morton's, Charlie Trotter's, Gene and Georgetti, Del Frisco's, The Prime Rib, among others. The list is distinguished and this feature should not be underestimated! Interesting sides and desserts (particularly the dessert specials) round out the items available on the menu. Being a beer geek myself, and not being particularly knowledgeable about wines, I will refrain from commenting on the breadth and depth of the wine menu. I do know that significant effort is put into the wine selection they have. I can also say, however, that over the last few years the restaurant's interest in keeping interesting artisinal beers in stock has been very much welcomed by me. Being from the Twin Cities, I was happy to see some of Summit's specialty beers available....in addition to some of the local beers (i.e., New Glarus) that I cannot get in Minneapolis. Lastly, I think the best aspect to the place is its casual, homelike, almost intimate, vibe. No aspect of this restaurant is pretentious. WISH delivers memorable food in a restrained and well-behaved manner. I think that those with a true interest in fine dining will find that the experience delivered by this establishment to be one that will keep them coming back...

As usual, a fantastic meal! The cheese curds with the homemade ranch were awesome! My NY strip was cooked perfectly and delicious! We even saved room for the butterscotch budino dessert, AMAZING! One of our favorite places!

Wish is a welcome addition to Wausau. The Friday night fish fry of walleye was probably the best fish I have had in Wisconsin. Moist and not greasy! The cheese curds are quite good. The Mexican street corn is absolutely delicious! Decent Wisconsin beer on tap, good service, we will be back next visit to Wausau.

To start...don't be surprised by the exterior of this former Moose-Lodge turned steakhouse. You will be floored when you see the inside... it's very nice by Wausau standards. I visited the restaurant on a Friday night, despite being full, we did not have to wait. We were shown a table in the middle of the dining room and the place has a great vibe to it. The service started well but spiraled downward following the "hello" from the waitress who after questioning, said she had worked there from the start. I don't think she was personally indifferent, but she did have to many tables to cover, and the service showed. The steaks are pricey, but do come with sides. The salads, which we had were the house and the Caesar. they were great. The other sides to accompany the steak however were sub-par. Steak houses should be known for their creamed spinach, but at wish, they had taken spinach, thrown it into a pan and splashed a little cream in the pan. It was awful, watery and downright nasty. My dining companion had sea bass which was tasteless and dry. My steak, which was the fillet was one of the best steaks I've had. It was fork tender, cooked perfectly and juicy. I believe however it was closed to $40.00 dollars. The issues that ruined the meal was we had ordered a appetizer, the server forgot it and when she said "oh I'll check on it" she never came back other than to deliver the bill. There was no "I'm sorry"...no "Here's a glass of wine"...or even more simply, "I'm sorry, I'm really busy". I like WISH... go to the bar, order a Ala carte steak and a cocktail. The rest of the food is o.k., but when the service is so spotty, go to Texas Roadhouse, get a nearly as good steak and pay a lot less.

This puts "yum" at a whole new level! Always cooked perfect! Well above average! And the side items, and specials, are always outstanding! I definitely recommend trying them out!

Had a fantastic dinner here tonight. Ribeye was perfect. Wedge salad was delicious. And this butterscotch budino desert was amazing! Place quiet enough for great conversation. I will be back!

Service was extremely slow and poor in my opinion at one point someone from our group called the restaurant # to ask where our wait staff was. We can't understand why our wait staff was so inattentive there was hardly no one in the restaurant. Someone in our group had cardboard in their scallops while they did re-make the dish no offer to compensate was made for sending a dish back that should never have made to the table in the first place!

We've been to Wish twice since moving to the area, the first time while looking for a house and then most recently for my wife's birthday. It is fantastic! It's almost as good as Cattleman's Steakhouse in Fabens, TX. The first time there I had the filet and it was cooked perfect and melted in my mouth. This time I decided to try their chicken parmesan since it was their special for the night...it was amazing! Especially for being a steakhouse. I went with a cup of lobster bisque and my wife had the soup of the moment (can't remember which one), and they were both amazing. We will definitely be spending far too much money on this restaurant in the future!

First time tuck WiSH and it didn't disappoint! I made reservations on opentable.com and put in a note that was pour wedding anniversary. The hostess greeted us with a "Happy Anniversary." The bar area was nicely updated and the dining room had a nice, private layout. Husband ordered ribeye, while I'm picky and the chef accommodated a special chicken pasta order. The cheesecurds were the best we've had in the area. Plus, half-price bottles of wine in Mondays! Oh, and free ice cream or sherbet on your birthday or anniversary! Well done, WiSH, well done!

My favorite place to eat! The food is spectacular here; from the soups, salad dressings (homemade bleu cheese), made-to-order appetizers (cheese curds are to die for), fresh scallops and walleye, and melt-in-your mouth steaks cooked to perfection! They have the best burger I have ever had! The butterscotch budino is sinful, it is so delicious, sweet-and-salty perfection! They recently added more taps and now have 6 specialty brews on tap as well as a beer-snobs fantasy bottle beer menu! All in all, I love coming in for apps and drinks in the bar, celebrating something special and dressing up or just coming in with friends for a casual and guaranteed tasty meal! I'm so glad Wausau finally has a restaurant as good as WISH!

KC bone in steak was excellent! Probably not worth $55, but perfect for a special occasion. Tenderloin was awesome too. Thanks Joel and staff.

This place was mediocre at best. I got the 12 Oz ribeye. The meat was cooked well, medium rare, which is a plus. That being said, there was very little seasoning added and was a pretty bland. The fries were pretty much generic frozen fries. I even had a clump that was frozen together and then cooked in a clump. Ended up being cold in the middle. I gave them an extra star because the salad was really good. I got the one with the blue cheese crumbles. The service was fairly standard, nothing special. They do have a free wifi. The building is nice and cozy too. Overall, save your money, go to Texas roadhouse. For the same price as a single meal l, you can feed your wife and have money left over, and have a better tasting steak. Happy eating. :)

Wish was pretty good. We had a party of 9, 5 of which were kids and had a pretty good time. The steaks were average, but the wine was great! Limited menu, but amazing cheese curds!! Overall, a good place.

Went here for a romantic date night with my husband. The sangria was the equivalent of Arbor Mist and was terrible. Everything else, including the service was great. It was a nice leisurely meal. My husband had an aged steak and I had the filet. Both were cooked to our specifications. The duck flatbread appetizer that night was delicious, though I think they didn't have to include the tomatoes and some other extraneous toppings. Simple is better, though we ate much of it without complaint. We were very pleased with our experience overall. The ambient music is awful, and can best be described as 70's Dad rock.

In what was seemingly the middle of nowhere Wisconsin, Yelp helped me find this great restaurant. I suspect it might deserve 5 stars but I didn't get a chance to try enough of the food to really feel I should give it 5. I had some soup - delicious! and one of those soups that makes you think, "Really? Those go together?" Well they did! Also had a a small steak, very tasty, and the sides, let's see. I can't remember what they were now 10 days later, but I remember they were very good. Something with ... doggone it! I just can't remember now! But anyway, if you're in Schofield, Wisconsin, I absolutely insist you go to Wish if you'd like a great meal, and it appeared that they had a good selection of wine and beer.

My wife and I have been there twice now. The first time there it was extremely busy. It was a winter's night and a big group was there. And our order took forever. We got a free dessert for our wait. Tonight, a summer evening, it was quieter and the service very good to excellent. The ambiance is very nice. It's a very comfortable place to eat. The couple we were with liked their food as did we but none of us would rave about it. I had lobster bisque: very good. My entree was grilled tuna served on a bed of spinach. It was OK. There was a serving of rice that was very plain. None of the entrees at our table were presented in an inspired way. My dessert: a hot fudge "Sunday" was excellent. I will return there only if I have a hankerin for a big steak.

Best steak in the Wausau area hands down! Expensive, but worth it. Ambiance and service are not up to the quality and price of the food, but hey - this is Wausau, so quality choices are limited.
