It's an absolutely phenomenal experience to be able to dine here. The service was impeccable. The rotating menu leaves you longing to return for more. The extensively crafted cocktail menu tested our decision-making abilities as each drink sounded better than the next. We are excited to dine here again!

Our new favorite spot in Door County! We did not have a reservation but got a bar spot and received amazing service by Hope! She was attentive, thoughtful and fun! Food was beyond amazing and the list of craft cocktails was insane, both of our drinks were delicious. Highly recommend!






Nestled within the picturesque embrace of Door County, an epicurean gem beckons discerning palates to an ethereal gastronomic voyage unlike any other. Wickman, a culinary haven that transcends mere dining, emerges as an unequivocal masterpiece destined to redefine the very essence of culinary excellence.
From the instant one traverses the threshold, a profound sense of enchantment envelops the senses, as if one has stepped into an alternate realm where gastronomy takes on a symphonic dimension. The ambiance, an orchestration of warmth and allure, resonates with an enchanting cadence that unfurls a tapestry of possibilities, all imbued with an ineffable sense of significance.
The elegantly choreographed ballet of the front-of-house staff captivates, a veritable maestro of attentiveness and hospitality. Their acumen in navigating the intricate constellation of locally sourced delicacies and wine varietals is akin to a virtuoso's command over his instrument, elevating each dish into a harmonious crescendo of flavors. A rare alchemy indeed, as they unfurl tales of terroir with unparalleled finesse, painting a vivid portrait of each ingredient's origin.
Wickman's culinary narrative, a symphony of innovation and artistry, pays homage to its stature as a James Beard nominee, an accolade richly deserved. With unabashed creativity, the menu unfolds as a manuscript of ingenuity, each dish an ode to culinary exploration. Yet, it is the meticulous devotion to minutiae that forges the true hallmark of distinction. No detail is spared, as every nuance is crafted with an unwavering commitment to perfection.
A span of three years bears witness to an evolutionary odyssey, wherein Wickman's prowess has burgeoned exponentially, culminating in a crescendo of culinary splendor. Within these hallowed walls, the confluence of passion and expertise intermingle seamlessly, casting a spellbinding essence that binds guests in awe and reverence.
A resounding ovation of gratitude is due to the architects of this culinary opus: Luke, Isaac, the Madisons, Harrison, Matis, and the entire coterie who have devoted heart and soul to sculpting an indelible culinary experience. A pilgrimage to Wickman is not a mere dining experience, but an odyssey of the senses, an unequivocal triumph that demands homage whether one finds themselves ensconced within this idyllic enclave or endeavors to traverse distances in its pursuit.
In sum, Wickman reigns as an imperious testament to gastronomic artistry, an oasis of epicurean grandeur that tantalizes, captivates, and beckons all who dare to seek the zenith of culinary gratification. An imperishable proclamation is etched upon the annals of time: a sojourn to Wickman is an odyssey unto itself, an irrefutable imperative for those who revere the profound symphony of taste.

Service was top notch and speedy. Food and presentation was phenomenal. They only had an outdoor reservation, but the setting was beautiful and relaxing. Looking forward to coming back next year while in Door County!





I want to start out by saying, the idea and the creativity of restaurant garden and local sourced seasonal food is spectacular. The concept, even walking in knowing this would be a driving reason for the high price of dinner, didn't stray us away from eating.
The size of the meals is small, and that's ok, but they are also not fulfilling, not a lot of things to soak up the delicious cocktails they have. We decided to get a few apps and small plates to share so we could really do a flavor tour. The deviled eggs were good, bacon on them perfect, whipped perfectly. And then things got really bitter. I don't know if it was just what we picked or what but there was so much vinegary and pickled flavors that it was almost like it was trying to hid something else.. (or preserve the garden food when the growing season is done and still use it), and then using kale and other bitter leaf things on top of it, it was too much bitter. And like I said it could just have been that we picked things that happen to all have that, and therefore it was what it was. I was kinda bummed about it because like I said, this place marvels in all other comparison and the concept is magnificent. Our goal is to try again when a new seasonal menu come out and be more conscious in maybe pairing different things. Plating and timing of food was spectacular and they were really busy.
Knowing we were going to have to chance it and walk in, because they were not taking new reservations til a month out; their flexibility with dine at the bar, and bar table area is also great.
The staff, I cannot say enough good things. They helped each other out and ran things for each other. The bartenders, with all of the craft cocktails did well keeping up with the 10 tickets printing a a time and a full bar.
The atmosphere is neat. The indoor and outdoor seating, the walkable garden, the cleanliness etc. I encourage you to walk the grounds.

This restaurant is amazing! My fiancé and I love the farm to table concept. If you want Door County flavor’s amplified, this restaurant is for you! Travis and Mike took care of us at the bar, and make some awesome cocktails. We tried a few smaller plates, and our personal favorites were the Deviled Eggs and the Whitefish Dip. Both perfectly balanced classics. After we had dinner we were welcomed to wonder around the vegetable gardens. We will definitely return our next trip to Door County.




My partner and I recently ate here and were fortunate enough to get in without a reservation (we got there early and were able to sit at a small table behind the bar). Between the service, the atmosphere, and the food, we could not have nicer things to say about Wickman House! We will be back to celebrate everything special in life!




Loved it! Super fresh and every dish was done well! Had the shishito peppers, a salad, devilled eggs, and steak. All of their cocktails can be made in to mock tails which is such a fun option for us non drinkers ! Had 3 little with us and our server was so kind .
Definitely a must stop in Door County for any foodie !
