We chose to have our wedding here, and it was such an incredible day. Everyone is so kind and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing and everyone talked about how amazing it was. Cannot think of a single negative comment.

First time visiting Iowa. Wilson's is a lovely place to have lunch and sit and chat with friends. The service was great and the food was excellent. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy; super flavorful with a little bit of spice. The potatoes were nice and crunchy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside. Can't wait to go back!

Our experience at Wilson's Ciderhouse was truly top-notch, making it one of the best dining experiences I've had in Iowa. The atmosphere was quiet and delightful, setting the perfect mood for a romantic date night.Exceptional Service: A big shoutout to our server, Rachel, who was incredibly friendly and helpful. She went above and beyond with her recommendations, guiding us through the menu and suggesting delicious options based on our preferences. Her attentiveness throughout the evening was greatly appreciated.Delicious Food & Drinks: We opted for the cider flight, and it was a revelation! Each cider was complex and bursting with flavor, showcasing the quality of the ingredients. Our main courses were equally impressive. The Braised Lamb Shoulder was a standout - incredibly tender and flavorful, accompanied by perfectly braised collards that offered a touch of bitterness and the delightful zing of ginger-spiced cashews. The Roasted Great Lakes Walleye was cooked to perfection, with delicate yet rich flavor.Highly Recommended: Overall, Wilson's Ciderhouse exceeded our expectations on every level. The combination of exceptional service, delicious food and drinks, and a charming atmosphere made for an unforgettable evening. We highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or a memorable dining experience.

We hosted a corporate event for 3 days at the Ciderhouse. The staff were all very helpful, attentive and professional for all of our requests. And those apple cider donuts in the morning for our clients.... WOW. And the food they prepared for our eat-in lunches was a big hit with all of our attendees. We hope to host another event this summer as well at the Ciderhouse. It's a perfect location that's just outside of Iowa City to feel 100% Iowa.

My daughter’s wedding was held at Wilson’s Ciderhouse Venue. The venue was beautiful, the drinks were delicious, the food was phenomenal (many of my friends commented that it was the best wedding food they have ever had), and the service was impeccable! We couldn’t have been happier!

Beautiful spot with friendly staff…but the food wasn’t worth the price. The focaccia was oily, the sandwich bread was dry, the ‘house aioli’ tasted like tartar sauce …three of us had subpar meals. Maybe an off night, I think usually quite good ?‍♀️Vegetarian options: Good job particularly offering vegetarian versions of dishes.

Realizing it's still growing, a bit larger menu might be warranted. I tried swordfish and pasta and meatballs and burger and wings and all were

We were there as a group of friends, one of which brought her toddler. First, it took awhile for them to find a high chair. We all ordered hamburgers, which come with nothing — not even chips. An order of fries for $9.00, which is rather excessive. But the worst part was they brought the food for the adults, but not the child. Evidently, chicken tenders from the children’s menu take “extra” time. By the time the little girl’s food arrived, we were done, so her mother just packed up her food to take home. Absolutely clueless service.

Great venue for a wedding. Service was excellent for both bar and food. Food was really good. Steak was prepared perfectly which is very difficult for a large crowd and the salmon was uniquely accompanied by a unique white bean side.
