1st Place: The Livery
2nd Place: Stella Blues
3rd Place: Duncan Creek Wine Bar & Grille

The Livery is as welcoming as it is distinctive, moving its atmosphere into first place just months after opening. Its style of country and urban vibes is a perfect juxtaposition, taking advantage of the building’s history as a livery stable and adding awesome tidbits like a bowling game-turned table. Stepping through the floor-to-ceiling velvet drapes of Stella Blues, you are met with both a mass of local historical artifacts and the sensuality of the Cajun south. Whether you want high-top seating in the front, or more cozy seating in the back, this restaurant has got soul. Duncan Creek Wine Bar and Grille is the place to go when looking for the modern, worldly feeling of a metropolitan bistro. This fun, flirty, and jazzy little restaurant gives you a taste of international experience right here in the Chippewa Valley. – Ashley F. Dziuk
