Caesar salad is made the proper way, with anchovies! Mushroom Swiss burger was also a winner. I opted for soup instead of fries and got the lobster bisque. Excellent. Service was excellently provided by a very friendly wait staff. Building is inviting and located right on the lake! You can choose to dine inside or out. Will definitely be back. Oh, and don't be shy of the PB&JJ burger or the Cinnabon Burger.

Being right on the lake, the view is AMAZING. The food is a bit expensive, but definitely fits with the vibe. They have a really nice inside and outside for seating. We had a large group, and they dont take reservations... but only took around 30 mins to get sat. In that time we were able to enjoy the outdoor bar and live music. It seems like a fun time to spend a few hours enjoying a brew or driving your boat up to it too!

First time visit for breakfast based on recommendation from another fantastic local restaurant…read moremanager. The homemade jumbo carmel rolls (to go) were a hit with the kids and were still warm when I got home. The server waited to have to heated up until I was ready to go to ensure they would be warm. It was a great touch. Based on the recommendation did the breakfast burrito. So glad that I did as it was a meal for 2 but filled with eggs, sausage, bacon, cheese, shredded hashbrowns, and maybe some grilled onions. Then topped with queso cheese sauce and the option for spicy or default homemade salsa. I did the spicy salsa on the side for my half and the regular salsa on the side to go for the other half. Definitely a burrito for two. When the bartender found out that this was my first visit she walked me thru the menu and the specials that are available on the weekend (limited quantities smoked ribs and beef brisket) So glad that a trusted voice recommended I give Sunshine's a try. Great food and great staff.

Third time here and I really like this place. This time it was for breakfast and man was it good…read more The Brisket Scramble was amazing. Really good brisket with perfectly done eggs. Ask for the spicy sauce you like some heat. The Avocado toast was also tasty. Dinner or lunch has also been good with unique options and chef made food. Check out their cool cocktails.

Pros - Friendly service - Views and atmosphere are great. - Cocktails were decent. - The lunch and dinner menus were good (not great though). Cons - Breakfast was trash (and I say this as someone who is NOT a picky eater). - Also, you can only order your eggs scrambled. Why though. - Overpriced for the quality. Overall it's a decent option if you are staying at the resort but I wouldn't expect to be blown away.

I visited Maddens for two nights for the MGA conference at the end of July. I stayed in the Voyager…read morerooms, they were amazing! Very clean, king bed, updated bathroom, back porch, and a kitchenette with a mini fridge, microwave, and sink. We walked to explore around the different areas of Maddens, and the grounds are beautiful! There are tons of activities including a pool, fitness center, tennis courts, croquet, paddle boarding, ice cream shop, gift shop, golf courses etc. The staff working at all of these locations were friendly, accommodating, and helpful. We golfed The Classic, which was awesome as well. Maddens also offers a few different restaurants which have great food. I came here on a work trip so I can't speak to the price/cost of the stay, but I do think this place has a ton to offer for a wide range of ages.

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!

It started raining before we arrived, so I think everyone headed inside at once, but we were able to grab seats at the bar and still received great service. I ordered the AYCE walleye. The portions were a little smaller than I expected, but the fish was good and I especially enjoyed the hush puppies. My husband ordered the Loon Burger and said it was one of the best burgers he's had in a while. The only downside was the wait for the second round of walleye, which took close to 30 minutes. By then we were ready to leave, so we ended up taking it to go. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back to try some of the other menu items!!
