Midwest Living Review

The Wright Place on 6th offers elegant dining in an Italianate mansion.

We stopped here for dessert after dinner somewhere else in town, and while that dinner was good, we wished we also would have had a chance to dine here. Don't get us wrong, the desserts are great: peanut butter ice cream pie, vanilla bean creme brulee, strawberry-rhubarb crisp, lemon-basil sorbet (ingredients from the herb garden outside the door). Our rich chocolate cake was good but not heavenly (the icing was a bit gluey), but we were eager to try more.Appetizers include coconut shrimp and wild calamari; for entrees, you'll find filet mignon and salsa grilled salmon. Owner Patricia Kay has turned the former parlor of this lovely house into an intimate dining space, with eggplant-purple walls, white linen tablecloths and a harpist strumming softly in the corner. A tiny bar seats seven patrons -- waiting for tables or enjoying a drink in an old-fashioned setting. Service is almost effusive, with waitstaff beaming and setting down dishes with a flourish (and obvious pride). Executive chef Travis Cheska has a degree in culinary arts and has worked at several upscale spas, including Casa Loma in Marshfield, Wisconsin. Entrees from $19.
