It was fairly slow(compared to Tuesdays) and the bartenders were rude, slow, and continuously leaving the bar for 10s of minutes. Seems they serve their friends or whomever they're talking to at the bar before anyone else regardless of "first come first serve." Not so much "classic cocktails" as it is a dive bar.

I saw a lot of martinis and cocktails coming out of the bar. There are waitresses, but it looked like just 1 bartender. She was BUSY! Waitresses were just standing there while the 1 'tender was working her ass off. We sat at the bar and barely got service because she was so busy. I of course don't know how the place works, but it seems like someone could have helped her. We only stayed for 1 beer and left because we couldn't get any of the bartender's time. It would be a cool place to hang if maybe we sat at a table. (I felt out of place being in my Packer's gear.) I see they do live jazz music. That might be worth going back for someday.

We ordered two appetizers- river rat balls & brushetta. Both were really good. All four of ordered the Saturday special of prime rib. Came with two sides. The side salad was the bombdotcom with homemade croutons. The American fries were decent but a bit soggy. The prime rib had ZERO seasoning and I paid an upcharge of $1.00 to make it Cajun. Nope... no flavor. Nada. Just a hunk of meat. I did scope out all other food coming from the small kitchen where you could hear the staff having a great time. It looked good so maybe we ordered wrong... but the menu is limited on prime rib days and what I normally would order wasn't available. Side note- I've worked in the restaurant business... not one person in the kitchen had hair nets on. Food was handles with barehands and I saw repeated cross contamination. The prime rib they cut our hunks off of laid on a counter dripping blood onto the floor that then had a towel thrown over it. I didn't feel great about eating our meal after noting all this.

I stopped going to Spring Lake for a few years and just recently went back when I heard they had new owners. I was pleasantly surprised! I had the peel and eat shrimp which were cooked perfectly. My dad had the prime rib, while it did not have the herb crust it used to have back in the day, it was wonderfully seasoned. My husband got the smash burger- which was not smashed at all and was pretty thick. But it was juicy and he loved it. My mom shared the prime rib with my dad but got a plate of American fries that were just like how they used to be and she loved them. The cheese curds were cooked just right. The portion was smaller than in the past, but they are around the same size or a bit larger than the other restaurants around town. Our favorite servers, Nicole, was there! Overall, we're were very happy with our meal and will be back soon!

I ordered a 12" pepperoni pizza, thin crust. It was less than mediocre. They didn't bother to slice it completely, so I had to struggle to detach a piece to put on my paper plate. Well at least there was a baseball game on their big screen. Then a guy asked if they could get the Brewer's game on. They couldn't get that game on, nor could they get back to the game that we had been watching. Instead they had some show called Motor Trend. Boring. By the time I finished my pizza, there were only 3. customers. I had expected a full menu not pizza only. I had asked for an ale, but the "bartender" was unable to find one among their limited selection of bottled beers..,nothing on tap. They couldn't get a sport program on their screen, not cool for a "sports bar". This was not the Norwegian Hollow Hideaway that used to be.
