"Larry curated a 5-course menu based on our budget and boy did he deliver. The tables were set with a gorgeous charcuterie board, followed by an herby salad, a truly life-changing 24-layer vegetarian lasagna, perfectly cooked steak medallions over asparagus and purée, and a perfect caramel flan. The Espresso Martini and French 75 were incredible. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Bayfield.

"Bates Art Bar delivered one of the most special nights ever. The staff and ownership are truly a one-of-a-kind group. The cocktails were easily some of the best I've ever had — specifically the espresso martini. If you are in town, make sure to stop by.
