We were very disappointed with the Easter Brunch. All of the Buffett food was cold or gone completely. Server never checked on us, we had a big group and was brought one glass container of water for refills ( which was enough to fill maybe two glasses) asked multiple times for refills to multiple people. Never got it. Was under impression there would be a carving station, was absolutely not one. Very disappointing for being a $52 meal per person. Plus they added a 18% for seating us, basically!Would never go back! Terrible!

Extremely dissatisfied with the Easter brunch. Buffet was very confusing and clustered constantly running out of food.food was subpar. Nothing tasted original like it was made in the restaurant, desserts were dry, as if they’ve sat cut for days. also, if you’re using a credit card, there is a fee which we were never told when making reservations.

Love the food and service. Wife loves the pikamabu cake or whatnot. Better than Sebastians I'd say.

We visited on Valentine's Day this year.When we got there, they asked us to wait in the bar. When we arrive on time for our reservation, we want to be seated immediately, but we've experienced this at other places before, so it's not a big deal. Our experience at the bar was fine, but we had to settle up at the bar before getting seated, when other places have just carried that over to the dinner bill which is better in my opinion. We both thought the drinks were decent. They were on the strong side, and maybe on the expensive side but not the worst I've seen.The meal was really pretty bad, all things considered.We started with bacon-wrapped water chestnuts. These were pretty tasty, but they were pushed onto these little skewers all the way to the top where you were supposed to grab them, and they were coated in this sticky glaze that was very drippy, so you couldn't help but get all sticky.Second, we both ordered the French onion soup. This was a very large serving, which might be cool if it was good, but it was quite bad. It had a very bitter taste and was poorly seasoned, needing a lot of salt. It was absolutely loaded with an impenetrable, chewy mass of Swiss cheese. I'm talking seriously like a cup of Swiss cheese. It was, in my opinion, inedible. It also had a huge amount of rye bread in there, more bread than I've seen in any French onion soup by far. Neither of us could eat the whole thing, only about a third at most, and that was mostly out of obligation over the money we had spent on it.For our entrees, I got a prime rib and my wife got the chateaubriand, which was a Valentine's Day special. My prime rib was a decent temperature but very flavorless. The menu boasted about "corn-fed beef" like that's something worth bragging about. To me, the meat seemed to be of quite poor quality. It came with an au jus that was also quite bland and empty-tasting, and mashed potatoes that were pretty good. My wife's steak had been sliced for her which I don't think is necessary, and then it had clearly been left to sit under a lamp or scorpion for a bit, so it became dry and looked unappetizing. It also needed salt. The bearnaise sauce it came with was "gross" according to my wife. We've had very delicious examples of bearnaise in the past, so this was particularly disappointing. Her "special" came with an uninspired selection of steamed vegetables (baby carrots out of a bag, broccoli, and cauliflower) and roasted potatoes (which were not very well-roasted). All of this also needed salt.During the entree is when we noticed that a lot of the other patrons seemed to be having similarly poor experiences. There were a lot of unhappy faces. Another couple had some sort of extended dispute with staff about the cooks on their steaks. This led into the server insisting that the cook was correct, and then I'm guessing the manager coming by to explain that the cook was correct. By the time we were leaving, another higher manager or perhaps even the owner had come out to provide his opinion that the cook on the steak was, in fact, correct and that it was the customer who was wrong. Listen: nobody actually cares about the accuracy of the order. Once you understand what the customer wants, deliver that to them at no extra cost and get out of there. This is the only acceptable answer. Hovering over their table for half an hour or more is extremely irritating.Overall, the service felt impersonal and rushed, despite the slow pace of the meal. We spent two hours there and just wanted to get out of there by the end. We didn't have any standout positive interactions with staff.I suggested getting a dessert to cap the night off, but my wife didn't want to give the place any more money at that point. In short, the entire experience was far poorer than anything we've seen at a chain steakhouse, for a price 3 to 4 times higher. And it was Valentine's Day. We left feeling a bit insulted by the lack of respect for our time and money.We�

Wow! Hadn’t been here in years, going back for the third time this year next week. Decor is up to date, menu includes Brussels sprouts, staff is super friendly. Forget the past, this is a whole new Summit!Parking: Parking for about 60 cars, including 6 accessible slots. The whole place is wheelchair friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: My friend uses a wheelchair, we had no problems. If you let the staff know ahead of time that someone in your party is on a wheelchair, they will have your table set up to accommodate.

This use to be our favorite place, we were severely disappointed this last time, steak was overcooked and lacked the delicious herb butter it usually has. They took off one of our favorite appetizers which was super dissapointing. I'm definitely not in any kind or hurry to return sadly.

We (party of 4) selected this restaurant for our New Year's Eve dinner. We have gone there before and while the food in the past was pretty decent, this time around was a different story. I ordered the chicken parmesan - the chicken was tough and appeared old with no taste, the noodles were bland. It was pretty bad and I was tempted to return it for a fresh meal but didn't want to ruin the night with friends so I just dealt with it. My wife's prime rib was not good at all - said it was very bland as well.Our friends had lamb chops and filet mignon, both of which were very good. Service was good but it was a light crowd and the atmosphere as always was very nice. It appears something changed with the quality of food and the expected quality of preparation of said food. I have to say that I wasdisappointed with their food. I've had much better for a whole lot less at other fine establishments around Racine. We already decided not to go to the Summit again. Too costly for food that is questionable at best.
