They initially turned us away…read morebut with further discussion and a few cocktails at the bar eventually made room to accommodate us. As with many cases this season they were very short staffed and trying to offer good service to those that had made reservations. Our server had several tables including one of 16 people. I can't believe how good the service ended up being with Karen our waitress. As a seasoned vet in this Industry she was on top of everything. Additionally the food was Breyer than I had hoped for. We all started with the salad bar which was clean and organized. They did end up running out of ranch dressing which was a disappointment but that was the only thing that fell short the entire evening. After the salads the four of us has the French onion soup which was better than most I've had. This was followed by our main course. Two of us has the 10 oz. Fillets, on had the 16oz ribeye and lastly one liver and onions. All the steaks were fabulous and the liver was also good from what I hear. There was no rushing, Karen our server timed out servings perfectly and the evening turned out spectacular. A big kudos to the Manager for getting us in. This will be a part of our rotation moving forward. Don't forget to make reservations!

I ended up with a glass of wine. We stopped here on a whim and plan on returning when we are looking for a fun bar with a good north woods atmosphere. While the view at night from the parking lot seemed a bit questionable, once we walked in the door everyone treated us like we were old friends.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and accommodate both small and large groups. The well equipped bar also has some innovative cocktails (served with a signature steal spike) and large selection of beers. Our kids love it too because they have a great game area. I like their signature old fashion and Margherita, and I especially like their mint smash burger (no mint in it!) and various tacos, and they also serve a great fish fry. Make sure to grab a complimentary chocolate mint served as you exit the spotless bathrooms.

Turned out sour lady was also the server. Very unwelcoming The food was so bad I sent it back. The "smothered" pulled pork (the menu's description) had a squirt of sauce and was not hot - not warm even. As my husband was eating I just cancelled. The robotic manager said he wouldn't charge me !! ... seriously I didn't even bite into the sandwich. I joked he could reuse the bun. He offered a dessert. I'm not going to eat a dessert for dinner. I declined. Such a beautiful remodel of an old bar. A shame the food and service just don't hold up.

It's hard to look for descent restaurants around here and I'd have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. It's on a golf course so the scenery is great and food selection was great too. I had the chicken sandwich, the bread was too thick but the chicken was cooked to perfection. Kids had the Mac and cheese which was on their adult menu but the server recommended the kids sharing due to their large portions. A friend ordered a salad and the greens were fresh and was not smothered in dressing! The usual experience up here is to get fried foods at restaurants as they usually don't have healthy selections but I was very happy with how everything was prepared. Would definitely go again when I'm up here again. Four adults and four kids ate for under $90!
