No sign of yakisoba sauce. Instead its just the spiciest instant ramen seasoning, like straight out of the instant packet/bowl. It's so hot that my taste buds can't taste anything else. Lacks flavor and seasoning. I'm not sure if I want to try the hibachi now. The only thing not slathered in what tastes like cayenne is the chicken. It's the only edible part.

WARNING: Visited this place to grab some coffee and was met with homophobic conversations between the patrons and the employee. I have never in my life had to sit through such a disturbing and harmful environment in my life. Please never go to this place and support this business. Outside of that they had a racist "redskins" sign in the coffee shop. read more

Came to middle bass island for the Great Lakes cruising club rally (https://www.glcclub.com/) Friday and Saturday were rainy, windy and cool. Friday evening's dinner was a BBQ catered by the team from Island Grind. (Pulled pork, chicken breast, coleslaw, potato salad and dessert bites.) They did a great job bringing the dinner to the Lonz pavilion. It was hot and everything tasted great. Saturday morning, they provided breakfast. Since it was chilly, they offered the speakeasy for us to be in versus the pavilion. The breakfast was delicious. Blueberry pancakes, perfectly cooked bacon, sausage patties, yogurt granola and strawberries and multiple juices. Saturday evenings dinner was salad, garlic bread, lasagna, eggplant amazingly large meatballs, and Italian lemon cream cake for dessert. Fortunately, the weather cleared and was nice and sunny. Dinner in the Lonz pavilion was served hot and it tasted wonderful. Jane and her team did an awesome job all weekend!

There are also some walking paths with informational signs about the wine making history on the island and other factoids. We thought we'd make George and Fannie proud and ended our day at the island grind- wait for it- speakeasy!!! The drinks were delicious, and the decor, vibe and crowd were all A+. There is also an adjoining coffee shop and restaurant that's open during the summer. Special recognition to our barkeeps Kieran and Daniel, Lynne the mansion tour guide , and Jane the manager. One of my best memories from my time on the bass islands.

The breakfast sandwiches are in a grab-and-go case and they'll heat them up for you. There are also a variety of sandwiches, desserts, and protein bites (my fave) to go along with your coffee.
