CLOSED 08/23/2015. Sentry Insurance reportedly shuttered the restaurant to take a new direction.
1800 Northpoint Drive
@1800 is located within the Sentry Insurance building. Diners for the day are Sentry suits. I was here on a business lunch and blended in with the natives. @1800's fanciness is incongruous with small town Stevens Point but seemingly finds support from the Sentry executives and the clientele they cater to. @1800 is formal and stuffy with white table cloths, high ceilings and open air, and impressive leather upholstery. The wait staff are dressed in clean sharp uniforms but our down to earth waitress held no attitude.
As much as I wanted to pull out the camera to capture the decor and my entree, I restrained from committing this business faux pas.
The lunch menu was a short list of contemporary American entrees. Nothing was appealing but I settled on the Salmon with Polenta. The salmon is dry, bland, and flavorless. The polenta is flavorless, mushy, and with an unpleasant mouthfeel. All this is to say I was hugely disappointed with the food given the loftiness of @1800.
A plateau is the highest form of flattery.
