The menu changes based on what they can source from the farmer, so you won't find a menu posted online. I think that is part of the fun of the experience. We chose a beet salad which was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. I chose the burger for my entree and it goes down on my top five burger list for sure. Juicy, salty, cooked to perfection! They don't have a full bar liquor license yet, but are very creative with what they are working with. I had a sake espresso martini, and it was great! Can't wait to visit and The St. James Social again, and it will be on my to-do list next time I'm in the Apostle Islands.

Service was friendly and available but not overbearing. We also stayed in the accompanying boutique hotel which was great! Continental breakfast was also delish. We didn't try the sauna but next time we will! Only advice there is to bring a noisemaker or fan as the road noise was a bit loud for us in 201.

Foods are excellent We had 5 course tasting menu that way we can taste most of the foods. Fortunately This is a very fine dining with moderate portion not giant. The highlights are definitely: Caesar salad - made old fashioned way you can taste the anchovy Mushroom soup - almost like French onion soup but mushroom and without overwhelming cheese on top. It's so nice and light. Perfect start to a meal seafood ravioli served with salmon - ravioli is definitely the star . The salmon is just some back up dancer. That Ravioli is magic. Umami bomb definitely taste the ocean (in a good way) and the butter and all the good things in life. For desert - the berry cobbler is special of the day and it is just phenomenal. All great texture are there. Chewy crust. Explosive berry flavors à la mode. After dinner. You can hang out at the porch there's swing. Nice chairs overlook the lake. Next time we should probl stay here

We stopped in to Gruenke's for a late breakfast during our trip to the South Shore. We were staying…read morein Herbster but no restaurants were open for breakfast (hardly any were open at all because its the end of the season!) so we headed east to Bayfield. This is a small, cute vintage place. I love the bar. Both of us had omelets, husband had a cheese omelet with a side of sausage patties and I had the veggie omelet with cheese and an English muffin. Breakfast was good (4 staras) and service was extremely friendly and fast and very affordable. My husband left his down vest and his sunglasses there and the owners made a special effort to come in the next day when they were closed so we could come by to pick it up so an extra star for friendly helpful problem solving.

In the 20 minutes we spent waiting to be at least greeted, he had time to kiki with other tables and give a performance of a lifetime pretending to be mad at another waiter for not taking our order. When we tried to order the salmon, he loudly cut us off and borderline scolded us for not knowing they were out. When we chose to go elsewhere, he immediately stormed off to complain about us to other staff. No wonder they are hiring.

Not only is this plain weird but it's a dumb business practice when the fish fry is all you can eat because people ask for more expensive fish instead of filling up on cheap fries! This restaurant has good food but they get enough wrong that you wonder about management.

The vibe of the whole place felt weird from the door. It feels like an old YMCA. When we got seated in the middle of the room with no view of the bear out back I knew I'd be mad just not being able to do anything while we clearly were going to wait a long time. We decided to pass. On the way out there was a line of 10 old ppl waiting to pay in various sized groups. The windows were so filthy you couldn't take photo or video anyway. They do have tons of books of their photos though if that will suffice.

The place has real promise. I know I'm being critical here but they serve their small salad in what I can only assume is a bowl meant for a scoop or two of ice cream and the lettuce was a little sad. My fork also almost bent in half as I tried to cut my steak. Some minor changes to how they organize things and an upgrade to their place settings as well some minor adjustments to their food and I think it would be "the" place to go
