“ The restaurant is quite unassuming from the outside, but the inside looks very nice. For the appetizer we had a special crab cake made with shrimp which was great. My wife had the shrimp and scallops pasta dish which was also delicious. Lastly, I had the BBQ ribs which were done perfectly. They were falling off the bone and had the right amount of sauce with them. As a part of the ribs there were sides of sweet potato fries and apple kimchi. Overall the food was excellent. Our server, Barry, was also super friendly and did an excellent job. We will be back. ”
“ My husband and I went here for dinner. The service was top notch and the food was fine dining! Definitely upscale, but family friendly. Food was delicious and just the perfect amount. ”
“ Wow! How can I give this place 10 stars! The atmosphere is super. It has a warm, soft feeling. It's an old church that has been beautifully remodeled into an exquisite restaurant. The service we had was impeccable! From the hostess to the bartender to the server, the best I have had in eons. The food, wow, the presentation was extraordinary! Just look at the pictures. it's as if we were in an exclusive restaurant in NY. And the flavors were out of this world. My wife had the beef tips that melted in her mouth. I had the prime rib that had an exquisite flavor. Deserts deserve another compliment all by themselves. All in all, we had an exceptional time and will be back and would highly recommend this dining experience. Pogreba is definitely a major asset to the La Crosse area! ”
“ This was probably our 8th time visiting. Foodnis always amazing. Had the crab legs tonight and they were the great, and the meatiest I've had in many years from anywhere. Our waitress Courtney was so great as well. One of our favorite restaurants. ”
“ Hidden amongst neighborhoods is this beautiful place with amazing food! My server Erin was very polite, friendly and professional. She had great knowledge of the menu and explained the specials well. For a starter I picked soup in which they had beer cheese on special and it was very good! They also bring out this amazing bread and some kind of homemade apple butter that made me ask for more! My main dish was the seafood ravioli: Pan seared sea scallops, baby shrimp and the ravioli is stuffed with Maryland blue crab and ricotta finished with some asparagus and a wonderful lobster sherry sauce! I will definitely be back! ”
“ The service was very good, our server knowledgable about the specials, menu and the meal came out within an ideal time frame. The food was great (pricey), surprisingly the highlight of my experience was the orange zest & mint butter served with the bread that evening. The atmosphere is relaxed and the setting is unique (I believe it was once a church building). Check out the stained glass windows. ”
“ Went here for my birthday, was very impressed all around. Service was great, many of the staff acknowledged my birthday. The food was amazing, especially the rib eye! Had the raspberry lemon drop, so delicious- pretty strong for someone who doesn’t drink very much but very good. Will definitely be back! ”
“ I cannot say enough amazing things about this place. My experience was 20/10. I got the fish special and the honey lemon crusted walleye is the best fish I’ve ever had. Also tried the pb chocolate pie which was to die for. The quality/freshness of the food is perfect and has the best flavors. The service was wonderful and it’s cozy inside. Will definitely be back to try more food/wine/desert! ”
