The market/restaurant itself isn't super big but they have a nice selection of seafood items for sale, both fresh and frozen. There are about 4 tables to sit down at. I ordered the lobster roll and the truffle fries. I forgot to ask for the lobster roll Connecticut style (which I usually prefer) when I ordered so the sandwich had cold lobster with a mayo type sauce on it as well as tomatoes, pickles, and lettuce and it was delicious! It tasted fresh and came with a good portion size. The truffle fries were also good and not too salty. The food was served pretty quickly as well. I will definitely be coming back here to try more of the menu!

Delicious. Like a four napkin burger haha. It isn't overly large, although a 12 ounce option is available. It's just bar grilled goodness with shredded lettuce and packed with flavor. The inside reminds me of The Bird in Mt. Pleasant. The waitress was great, refilled drinks without asking and it was busy but not packed around 3 on a weekday. Also had sweet potato fries and they were perfect darker orange but not burned. Lunch for two was $30 for 2 burgers and soda.

A fancy upscale traditional steakhouse feel and decor. Four golf elder statesmen across the street getting ice cream as dessert recommended this place. The bar was just me and the tender and at 8:30, the staff was wrapping and cleaning up on the 8/2 Wednesday evening. No tv, minimal noise and subtle indistinguishable background music but catchy to my blues and R&R ears. So...the food... when the plate was put under my nose, I knew it was going to be culinary special. Everything and all of it was special. The Whitefish, perfectly tender, seasoned and mouthwatering. The risotto was creamy and soooo tasty. The broccoli and cauliflower, taken to a new level so it's not just good for you. Finally, the service was great with the young friendly guys, Jesse and Jackson, being very attentive and gracious. Thanks to the four guys who recommended this restaurant. Now, for a guilty pleasure serving of small town homemade ice cream where I asked them "where to eat"??

Was recommended to checkout Bortell's but my first major TIP is bring cash or check as they don't accept cards of any kind. We parked on the shoulders / ditches leading up to the location as they only have six parking spots. The line was all the way down the driveway and from the moment I got in line to the moment I left with my food took 50 minutes. When you go inside you stand in a shorter line and order your seafood raw, smoked or fried. I do wish they offered more grilled options as I'm not a huge fan of either smoked or fried fish. We got the Lake Perch, Ocean Perch, Smoked White Fish and Catfish. It was all fresh fish, with a tasting seasoning / batter that wasn't too greasy, though if it was grilled I think I could have enjoyed the flavors in the different fishes better. After you place your order you can take it to go, go across the street to the park or on the left side of the business sit at one of the five picnic tables that are shaded by local trees, minus that one table that's doing its own thing. I will for sure come back like all the rest of the locals and tourists when in the area.

Like what! I'll start by two weeks ago we ordered two plain cheeseburgers, one fry and it came to $30!!!! I was appalled. I was charged .75 each box for take out as well! Today we needed lunch as we had a really long night and just didn't want to bother, so we decided to go to lake side bar and grill try it again, we each had two bloody Mary's , he ordered the angry burger with fry's and I got the cod dinner to go. Waitress stated rolls did not come with the dinner so I asked could I please get two added I will pay for them she stated yes. Clearly stated yes! While we waited for our food we ordered drinks . The first bloody mayrs were amazing , had the olive , 2 pickle slices a lime and cucumber. Three tables were served in the time we waited for our food and two came in after us! So we ordered another drink, this time no veggies in it just refilled plain. Ok no biggie. Food came we got our bill and it was 67. And some change!!!! Like WTF! So we looked at the receipt we were charged both drinks PLUS each veggie ! Like who does that! And we didn't even get any veggies in our second drinks!!!!! We left I looked at our food and my rolls were missing and we had barely any fry's. I went back asked and she said no we don't even have rolls, I stated mam you clearly told me I could order them separate! I said as well we got barely any fry's. She acted like it was an inconvenience to her! Then while I waited she continued to talk about my complaint to I am assuming her husband. So far after just moving here and being a big food critic for upscale companies I would think a small town and they would treat people not only better , but make sure they are taken care of. Needless to say the fry's we got are way under cooked , burger is way burnt , and my fish is as well. A total waste of $70! We should have just went to Arby's! I will say we have had excellent customer service with only 1 waitress there she is the shorter dark haired lady. She has always been kind. But after two bad experiences I would not recommend this place for food or drinks.
