Mariner’s Inn Celebrates 40 Years with the von Rutenberg’s at the Helm
by nate on 03/08/10 at 11:15 am
One family has chartered the course of success at Mariner’s Inn for 40 years: the von Rutenbergs. And it is just one chapter in a tale that dates back to 1961 when college sweethearts and recent UW grads Bill and Betty von Rutenberg purchased the eight-stool Nibble Nook hamburger joint just off the Square.
A few months after selling the Nibble Nook in 1966, the couple purchased Jack Burke’s Supper Club on Lake Mendota and transformed it into a nautical waterfront restaurant. It was a family affair as their three sons grew up working in the business mopping floors, hauling ice, cleaning the parking lot, washing dishes, and bussing tables until they entered college. Forty years and eight expansions later, brothers Bill, Jack, and Robert—von Rutenberg Ventures—are keeping the family business alive and well as one of Madison’s local landmark restaurants.

Bringing Italy’s Best to Madison
“Come in as you are,” he calls out encouragingly, scanning the street for anyone craving an Italian meal. He’s an exceptionally good-natured recruiter, forever chuckling and sporting an appropriately jovial handlebar moustache. That’s right; you know who I’m talking about. It’s the Lombardino’s guy.

Harvesting the Local Essence
For Harvest Restaurant owners Tami Lax and Jeff Orr, the word fresh is one that’s taken very seriously. Insisting on offering only the best in local flavors, they change their menu frequently in order to optimize the use of seasonally available ingredients. The effort put into the restaurant has paid off for Tami and Jeff, who are satisfied that they’ve created, in Tami’s estimation, “something simple and elegant.” From the dedicated inclusion of local organic produce in their dishes to the attentive furnishings of their interior décor, the Harvest staff is committed to providing customers with an enriching and subtle dining experience.
