Shout out to Lakes Tavern for great food and friendly service. We've eaten a Lakes Tavern several…read moretimes this summer and each visit was better than the next. The menu offers several choices that are unique to the area. In addition to standard "Up North" fare like burgers, there are several Asian inspired dishes that are really good. We've been to sushi night and it really is the best sushi up here (not many options - but it's solid). I've been on a Tuesday and had the Kung Pao Chicken special which is great, and last night we came in and I had the Thai Green Curry which was flavored just right. My husband had the walleye and Jody suggested he order it broiled and he raved about it. Service is super friendly - Jody was a delight, and Tracy and Ryan behind the bar are always friendly and make great drinks. Highly recommended.

She was nice but we did not see much of her. We did see her running around, so more of a staffing issue.

By the time we arrived they were closing in an hour but treated us like there was no rush at all. I got the salmon with Thai Rice. It was truly delicious. My husband had the pork chop, which was huge. He said it was really good. We also ordered the bruschetta bread and it very tasty. The Italian soup also was quite delicious. We had a great view of the golf course from our table and surprisingly enough -- they gave a military discount. This was the best food we ate on our vacation.

This place was great - super friendly service, reasonable prices, big portions, AND tasty food! Nothing flashy, but everything we tried was good. We had cheese curds and fried green beans to start, my son got shepherd's pie, and my husband and I both got fish & chips, and we got a little two pack of monster cookies to go for dessert (yum) - we would definitely return here!

We went at 5 pm on a Thursday. There were plenty of seats inside and outside, and we decided on…read moreoutside. Plenty of parking available when we went. Food 5/5: the outside of this place gives dive bar vibes, but the food absolutely wow'd us. We got pretzels and the fried green beans for appetizers, both were very good. It was a cooler summer day, so many of us opted for the comfort food. I got the chicken and it was spiced absolutely perfectly. The rice was done to perfection, the chunks of chicken complimented by the sauce. I would absolutely go back for just that. They have a great menu selection and great kid meal options. Service 5/5: our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She took our order quickly and the food also came quickly. Ambiance 5/5: like I said earlier, this place gives dive bar vibes from the outside. The inside is definitely more elevated. Plenty of room and seating with a great patio for nice days.

Cru is known for their beautiful wine cellar and an amazing chef. They also will occasionally have…read morewine dinners showcasing a certain winery. Tonight was the Sposato Family Vineyards. Karen Sposato, owner, and Eduardo Nogal, Director of Operations were both in attendance. Neither the food nor the wine disappointed! Chef Justin made an insanely delicious five course meal that hit every taste bud in all the right ways and the wine paired so perfectly with each course. I would say that the scallops were probably the best I've ever tasted and the short rib skewers were incredible, melt in your mouth. Lastly the dessert which the chef called milk cake was like a cross between Tres Leches and tiramisu. The cake layers soaked up the milky caramel sauce and it was sublime. As for the wines, the Chardonnay was my favorite of the whites, light on the palette and a bit of citrus and just a hint of oak. The Cabernet Franc was a knock it out of the park red. It had fruity flavors to begin and then turned dark and spicy with rich peppery flavors. We can't wait for the next wine dinner with the crew at Cru! Also, can't wait for our wine to be delivered!
