The Whistling Swan should not be missed on a trip to Door County. The menu features local produce and changes daily. Make sure to come hungry as portion sizes are large. We tried numerous items on the menu and we loved everything we tried. It was an excellent, classy dining experience without being stuffy and the restaurant has a 'come... More

Stopped in late (8PM) on a Friday. Their last guests were just leaving but they kept the kitchen open to accommodate us. Fresh local ingredients are highlighted on the menu. Menu changes daily. Entrees were limited (5), but the three we tried were all excellent. Service was excellent, but then we were the only diners. Despite staying open for us,... More

Our dinner at the Whistling Swan was, hands down, one of the best meals we have ever had! The chef's creativity and immense knowledge of food are visible in every aspect of every dish and you can certainly taste it. Our service was wonderful and the staff was so friendly and very knowledgable about the food and wine menus. Our... More

While on our annual mid-week retreat up to our favorite door county cottages my fiance and I took a quick drive up to Fish Creek for dinner on recommendation from a friend who stays up there frequently. He told us to try dinner at the Whistling Swan knowing that we enjoy fine dining and great wine. He couldn't have hit... More

Nice atmosphere and food on a cold evening. Cheese appetizer was good. At each bite, the steak got better and better. Appropriate portions and some spell treats provided. Highly recommend.

This place had great promise if it weren't for the misplaced and bizarre hipster wonderland. Our food was ok, other than one of our entrees (gnocchi) being almost exactly the same thing has our app (risotto). The venue is lovely and enjoyable, however the ambiance was tainted with a staff that was awkwardly rude upon booking a reservation and seemingly... More

Prices were a little higher, but well worth it for the food and atmosphere. Bring your formal clothes, and try the sturgeon!

We had a very nice dinner here with another couple. It was quaint and the menu was excellent. Staff was great and the wine list was nice as well.

I have lived in Door County for several years now and never had the pleasure of experiencing the Whistling Swan until just last night. From start to finish, the whole night was simply lovely. Our server was always attentive but never overbearing or interrupting. Everything perfectly timed. The brussel sprouts before dinner were totally addictive... something one would ever imagine...

Our family visited Whistling Swan last night for dinner. They are owned by the same folks who own the Hinterland Brewing Company and Hinterland Restaurant in Milwaukee. Their beer is excellent and the Milwaukee Restaurant is always a solid choice - so we wanted to give Whistling Swan a chance. It lived up to expectations. The service was comfortable and... More
