Mariner’s Inn Celebrates 40 Years with the von Rutenberg’s at the Helm

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.
