The Rookery's ever-changing menu features weekly fresh fish specials, beef and bison steak, handmade pasta, specialty salads, vegetarian & vegan entrees, and other creative dishes incorporating fresh seasonal ingredients from local producers. The full service bar includes a great selection of regional microbrews, premium liquor, and 30 fine wines (including 10 wines by the glass).
In addition to great food and fine spirits the Rookery also is the exclusive northern Wisconsin gallery for noted nature and wildlife photographer Kristen Westlake. Two dozen of Kristen's fine art images in sizes up to five feet across adorn the walls of the pub and restaurant and her entire portfolio of amazing photographs is available for purchase.
We believe you'll find our cuisine to be second to none in the Cable/Hayward area. Many guests tell us it rivals some of the best available in much larger communities. But don't take our word for it. Check out the reviews from some of our recent guests below. You might also be interested to know the Rookery is Travel Green Wisconsin certified and rated ♦♦♦ by AAA.
Eat, drink, and relax amidst the unique aura of beauty and serenity in one of the most distinctive dining and drinking venues in the Wisconsin Northwoods. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

P.S. After a delectable dinner why drive somewhere else to spend the night? Go ahead. Polish off that wonderful bottle of wine. Knowing you need only walk back to one of the finest guest rooms in the area. Eat the Best...Then Enjoy Great Rest!
