Best Venue for a Rehearsal Dinner

If you’re looking to dine with your wedding party in savory style, for the second year in a row our readers say you can’t beat Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse (4751 Owen Ayres Court, Eau Claire), which is known for steaks, pasta, and its extensive wine selection. Hickory Hills Golf Course (E4080 Hickory Road, Eau Claire) provides a scenic setting for a sit-down meal with all those future in-laws, with Houligans Steak & Seafood Pub (415 S. Barstow St., Eau Claire) ranks highly for its menu and cozy setting. –Tom Giffey
