![]() ![]() I had the Char crusted pub filet, stuffed with cheese and cooked perfectly. The Good Thyme salad has an Asian influenced sesame oil vinaigrette with a cow’s milk feta that was surprisingly amazing! At this point we were quite content, with the main course remaining. Next came the house salad…on most meals just a forgettably modest segway to the main course. Paired with the warm baguette I was quite content. This sounds pretty basic but was amazing! The Brie was covered with a chutney which included rhubarb and apples and a Marsala wine sauce. A few highlights: We started with the Brie and baguette. Everything we had was excellent and exceeded expectations. Neither the wine list, drink menu, nor food menu were enormous, but definitely adequate. Jan was extremely pleasant, did not appear rushed with us, and made excellent recommendations. Our waitress, Jan, as well as the other staff, were very attentive and our water glasses never got even half empty before being refilled. I almost felt like I was in an upscale episode of Cheers. ![]() One of the staff (perhaps the owner or manager?) seemed to know half of the patrons and greeted them like old friends. We were seated by the kitchen, but I did not even mind, and I could see that the staff was hustling and attentive to everyone. It is only open 5-9 pm and I would recommend a reservation, if you are dining after 6, as it seemed to get quite busy quickly after our 6 pm seating. You will see an attractive older home with a large wraparound porch and ample parking sitting by itself in the right. It is a beautiful area with lots to see and do, and less anyone feel that one has to sacrifice fine dining to experience the Wisconsin northwoods…I suggest…no I insist that you find your way to Good Thyme for a…(sorry)…good time! You will pass Good Thyme just outside of Washburn as you drive the final few miles to Bayfield. I now see why the late JFK, Jr used to retreat to the Bayfield area to escape. Bayfield Wisconsin isn’t one of my usual haunts, but well worth a visit. ![]()
