The Relish Tray Bistro and Speakeasy

"Bistro With Fresh, Unique Food"

About Us

The Relish Tray Bistro and Speakeasy has been a beloved part of the Baraboo, Wisconsin community since 2020, offering a fresh take on what a neighborhood bistro can be. Founded by owner Amber Giddings, The Relish Tray was built on a simple but powerful idea: serve honest, nourishing food made with care, quality ingredients, and a deep respect for where those ingredients come from. Every dish is made fresh daily in small batches using organic ingredients whenever possible and locally raised meats, with no deep fryers in the kitchen—ever. The result is clean, flavorful food that lets fresh ingredients shine.

Amber’s passion for food goes far beyond the kitchen. She is constantly exploring farmers markets, specialty grocery stores, local boutiques, and both modern and vintage cookbooks in search of fresh ideas and unique flavors. That curiosity and creativity shape a menu that feels both comforting and inspired, offering everything from daily specials and handcrafted burgers to thoughtfully selected craft beers and seasonal favorites. Whether guests stop in for a quick bite or settle in for a full meal, there’s always something made just for them.

At its heart, The Relish Tray Bistro and Speakeasy is about community. Amber and her team are proud to serve Baraboo and the surrounding areas with food made from scratch and service that feels genuinely welcoming. Every plate reflects a commitment to quality, creativity, and connection—inviting guests to slow down, enjoy the moment, and savor food made with intention. We invite you to stop by and experience The Relish Tray for yourself.

On 5/6/2025 Mary France had this to say:
I chose to have lunch at The Relish Tray Bistro & Speakeasy to celebrate my 72nd birthday today, 5/1/25. I have dined there previously and enjoy what I call a French-style of dining; healthy local ingredients, perfect poriton sizes, excellent service, and a good variety of meal options. My husband chose the Shrimp Scampi, and I, the Salmon with Ameretto sauce and a side of fresh vegetables with a dill dip. The salmon and shrimp were cooked to perfection, and the sauces, while flavorful, did not overwhelm the taste of the fish but complemented them. The toasted herbed bread was a fine choice to serve with the shrimp for dipping into the sauce. The vegetables were crispy fresh. I enjoyed a glass of Pinot Grigio with the meal. I highly recommend this establishment and some of the different from typical Midwestern norm menu items, especially for those who seek portion sizes like I have experienced in France. We ordered from the Small Plate section. I left feeling energetic and satisfied. They do offer several types of burgers, fish dishes, and salads, and vegetarian selections.
