the chili was amazing. As a side order it was not only large and filling, but very high quality. Most places will use leftover meats and vegetables for their chilli, but it is clear that they used good and well cooked cuts of beef. The atmosphere is wonderful, staff is kind and price is very reasonable.

First time visiting this establishment. Our server was fantastic and so helpful, the food was flavorful and fresh, and despite their busy Sunday afternoon the turnaround to receive our meal wasn’t bad at all. The holiday decorations, the fire place, and the snow coated lake view made the entire occasion very cozy. I’m pretty sure we’ll be back soon.

If I had any complaints about this place, it was only because we had to leave! Lol.
The staff & manager here is amazing. The food was exquisite & reasonable priced for an upscale restaurant.
The Gluten-friendly, vegan, and other allergen friendly menu was amazing. All of our food came out hot & fresh. The shrimp were so fresh they tasted like I was on the coast.
The scene were matched by beautiful on the water views of the lake. Next time we are in Michigan, I know where we will be stopping.

Great Ambiance seating available on the dock overlooking the lake. Appetizer was Salmon Cakes very good. Entree looked and tasted like giant fish sticks from a box. Drinks were good. Staff was amazing. Clean inside and out nice parking lot.

The view off the back deck for dinner was quite lovely. Dinner came out moderately fast and delivered by a server other than the wait staff. I would come back and continue my experience through the menu.

Went here for a business dinner with a client and colleague and had an enjoyable meal. We were seated near a window and had incredible lake views. There was a storm on the way so we couldn’t sit outside but that would ha e been even better.
Servi e was attentive and well done. The menu has a bit of everything with gluten free and vegetarian options and plenty of local fare. There is a full bar with local brews as well.
We had a couple appetizers (calamari and white fish dip) and I had the coconut crusted fish and chips which was definitely different and worth a try. My colleagues had the shrimp and a fish sandwich and we’re both happy.
There is plenty of parking, great views and good food and service. I would definitely go back.

Stopped in while visiting family on this side of the state. The view is unbeatable. The calamari and whitefish dip were great. The Caesar salad was a large portion but just a bit too much dressing for my liking, but the tuna was cooked perfectly.

My coworkers raved about this place. Said it has the best salads in town and that everything was good. After one lunch with so many blunders, I find their ravings suspect.
It all started with the lobster fondue appetizer. While spooning some of the fondue onto my plate, I found a tag. That’s right a nutritional information tag in the fondue. I placed it prominently on the side as to be noticed by all. I should have left. But alas, I soldiered on.
Three of us ordered salads. One with beats on the side, one with cheese on the side, and the other as served. When they came out no modifications were made. The server stood and watched as we picked off ingredients. No comment. No I am sorry, no offer to correct the mistake.
At this point we dove into our salads to find no dressing. None. We also found the various proteins undercooked.
This is the first time I have ever had every dish with an issue. Not nitpicky minor issues. Foundational flaws and nutritional information tags. Huh?
The only redeeming quality was the location. Sadly, I will not return. Too many issues for a shot at redemption.

We were there on 9/27/2025 500 pm ish. We sat outside on rhat beautiful evening. Our waitress was decent and attentive at times and other times not so much. Service could have been better from her ( Miriam ) was our waitress for this occasion. Very nice place to have a meal and the outdoor patio is the BOMB to take in the water view and the sound of the waves. Very classy and elegant place. It looked and appeared very clean inside and outside and the bathrooms were well stocked and well maintained.
We would definitely come back here again.
