"We used Smoke on the Water offsite catering for our holiday party. 80+ guests. The food was delicious and hot. Lots of compliments on the Bourbon glazed carrots. The staff was timely, friendly, and down to Earth. It was a great experience and we will be using them again next year."

"Had a special event last night at the lower level of Smoke on the Water. The food, service, attention-to-detail was all outstanding. Can't say enough about the great job Joe, Rebecca and their staff did to make the event so special. THANKS."

Rich S.

"We had a post wedding brunch for 100 people. The party planner was Rebecca and saw to every detail and was very responsive to my text inquiries. I do not live in the state so it was a bit of leap-of-faith that went very well. The event was held in the "Below Deck" part of the establishment and it is perfect for that type of event. Downstairs away and private from the patrons who were there for lunch, open windows to the Lake Okauchee view and breeze, full bar and great atmosphere. If looking for an event venue with good food, drinks and views in the Lake Country of Waukesha County, this is it."
