Cru is known for their beautiful wine cellar and an amazing chef. They also will occasionally have…read morewine dinners showcasing a certain winery. Tonight was the Sposato Family Vineyards. Karen Sposato, owner, and Eduardo Nogal, Director of Operations were both in attendance. Neither the food nor the wine disappointed! Chef Justin made an insanely delicious five course meal that hit every taste bud in all the right ways and the wine paired so perfectly with each course. I would say that the scallops were probably the best I've ever tasted and the short rib skewers were incredible, melt in your mouth. Lastly the dessert which the chef called milk cake was like a cross between Tres Leches and tiramisu. The cake layers soaked up the milky caramel sauce and it was sublime. As for the wines, the Chardonnay was my favorite of the whites, light on the palette and a bit of citrus and just a hint of oak. The Cabernet Franc was a knock it out of the park red. It had fruity flavors to begin and then turned dark and spicy with rich peppery flavors. We can't wait for the next wine dinner with the crew at Cru! Also, can't wait for our wine to be delivered!

The foie gras was so flavorless, thin with some sort of bread underneath to make it look bigger??? caesar salad greens had a gritty element aka sand which we were not credited. Our other salad came super wilted and way too sweet. Loved the filet which came out beautifully. overall our service felt really rushed even though a third of the tables were open. not going back. Overall Grandview Lodge needs to pay more attention to food quality.

The place was pretty large with several places to sit, inside & out. Since we had a large group, our service lacked a bit, but can understood with our size. She was very friendly but assumingly a bit overwhelmed! It took around 20-30 mins for our order to be taken... But we did enjoy our meals and had a great time. I can assume service would be great with a smaller group. We had a variety of orders, but I enjoyed the walleye dinner and it was great, the two sides was a perfect addition. A great lake bar!

The proprietors…read moreare serving up authentic modern Vietnamese and Thai dishes, alongside standard up north favorites like burgers and fish and chips. Two of us had the Pad Thai, one had steak and potatoes, and the other Szechuan tofu. The Pad Thai stands up to any version I've had anywhere, a strong and solid offering with the tanginess of tamarind balanced with fresh chopped cilantro. The traditional beef and potatoes dish can be hit and miss, but this one balanced potatoes with crispy edges and pillowy starchiness with quality strips of steak, all stir fried together in just enough brown sauce to bring it together. The tofu and snap peas in a spicy Szechuan sauce were flavorful and hearty enough after appetizers. We didn't get pictures of the egg rolls, which are as good as you'll find in these parts and the spring rolls, which were slightly less authentic than we'd hoped. We finished off with lemon bar ice cream, Vietnamese flan, and a toffee Bundt cake. Red Pine Cookhouse is a visually impressive log building with plenty of natural light flowing in through the many windows and a curved staircase leading up to a game room for the kids. We enjoyed the evening on the patio. We were thrilled to have been introduced to this gem of a restaurant, and look forward to our next trip back!
