The place was busy when we arrived, but we were able to be seated in less than 10 mins. As for our meal, my mom had the enchilada suizas and I had the Carne Asada street tacos. Let me tell you, I was surprised at how authentic our meal was. The artwork in this place is also great, and the staff were very friendly! 10/10 for sure, I give it my Mexican stamp of approval!

It was excellent. Food and service were excellent. We are a product of the South and dont have much whitefish and walleye available. I had the walleye sticks appetizer with an order of fries and my wife had the whitefish cakes. Both were delicious. Fries were obviously hand-cut and large; also very hot. Our server was great! The best part of the meal was the BREAD STICKS! It appeared that the sticks are baked in a round pattern, like a pizza, and then cut into sticks. They were so hot, I couldn't hold them until they cooled a little bit. The accompanying spread was excellent; also marinara sauce. One could make a meal from the bread sticks. The vibe was pleasantly rustic. We decided on a booth instead of seats at the bar. Again, our server was great. The guy who brought out the bread sticks was equally good. I suppose the bread sticks are brought to the table directly from the oven. Highly recommend this place!

We rarely sit outside but this patio beckoned and we were helpless to resist. There's even outdoor seating available if you arrive before the restaurant is open! Silas brought us menus and took drink orders right away. We enjoyed the season's first shandies while exploring the menu. His attention was perfect and we shared some laughs each time he returned to our table. Neither one of us wanted to share (I guess) so we each ordered our own appetizers. I can never get enough smoked whitefish spread... until it's ALL MINE! I enjoyed every bite and would do it again. Patrick ordered the walleye strips and he did offer me a bite (generous devil that he is). They were perfectly crisp without being heavy or greasy. If I had known that... nah, I'd still get the whitefish. We'll be back to visit The Portside and try more menu items. Who knows, maybe we'll split something next time?

Where everything fell apart is when we were seated and they were not quite as busy. It took just as long for food to come out of the kitchen and for drinks to arrive from the bar. We waited 30 minutes for a glass of wine and a standard mixed drink and 50-60 minutes for food. The food was ok. Nothing to write home about. The best part if the being was our waiter who was extremely pleasant and the appetizer. Nothing special about the atmosphere. People seemed happy just finally eat.

You're met with a local dressed in fishing attire and a smile, the case is filled with fresh or smoked fish/seafood, and your nostrils will be filled with the smells of seasoned whitefish and salmon. The guy behind the counter packages everything up for you like a butcher shop would. The smoked fish fillets served with crackers are fantastic for a party appetizer, the fresh fish/seafood is great for weeknight meals or whipping up a fancy dinner. Thills is versatile, local, and a staple for anyone who enjoys a fresh catch. The location is also beautiful. The fish house sits along the stunning lower harbor. Take a walk and enjoy the shoreline, stop into Thills for your supply, and don't forget to pick up a shirt to represent your new favorite fish house!

It doesn't feel like a hotel restaurant inside, but service can be slow. The bartender took great care of us as did the expediter. Both were friendly, helpful and spent a moment chatting despite being busy. Our server, on the other hand, acted confused and overwhelmed. She was dressed more like a greeter/hostess, so maybe she really was out of her element? The food is yummy and the portions are super generous. The fries were a wedge-spiral hybrid, different than the usual. There was a great special on $4 margaritas which Smokin'Hubster enjoyed thoroughly. I made a lighter choice and had a local Grand Rabbits on tap. If you're traveling through the area, it's definitely worth a stop!

I ordered a pick-up lunch order over the phone because I wanted to pay with cash and that option was not available online. I ordered the TJ taxi wrap and ordered it without the cheese. The restaurant employee stated it doesn't come with cheese although queso cheese was specified in the description. I said please just make sure there is no cheese. She basically made me feel as if I didn't know what I was ordering and I was truly unsure of what I would be picking up. Upon pick up I was directed to the back counter where I stood waiting for someone to acknowledge me even though there were three team members in the immediate area. Once acknowledged I stated I was there to pick up a TJ Taxi with no cheese and fries. This was repeated to the kitchen and I waited about 5minutes more before given my food. They did honor the 10% discount the hotel mentioned so that was nice. The wrap was decent but not what I was expecting so I'm not really sure what I received.

Our two month motorhome trip brought us to Marquette, MI for three days. After an internet search…read more(thanks Yelp), we decided to eat at The Vierling. There were no seats at the highly touted back room, with a view, so we decided to sit at the bar...excellent decision. BTW, the view at the back area is not worth getting stressed about. However, it is a great area. Our bartender was Marissa; she was great. When in Rome...we both decided to get the whitefish. Mine was just the regular seasoning and my wife got the scampi version. Both were very good. We both had one of the Vierling's brews (cant remember which one) and we both enjoyed it. Vierling also has a blueberry brew and blueberries are actually dropped into it before served. We may go back today just to try it. It was a great experience and struck up a conservation with a young local. He wrote down several recommendations for us, including Black Rock Brewery and Portside, which deserve a review. I highly recommend The Vierling and discovered they take reservations. We enjoyed sitting at the bar. Thanks Marissa!

At dinner time, get here early. You definitely want a table in the back to look out over the lake…read more It's a really pretty view. Unfortunately tonight I didn't get here early enough so I sat out by the bar, which is absolutely fine. I started with a French onion soup, which I normally do when I'm here, tonight it was a little less oniony than it usually is, but that just could simply be a function of whoever was ladling it up. It's still absolutely delicious. For dinner, I had the chicken piccata with a baked potato and steamed green beans. The steamed green beans are a staple while there are a variety of other sides, such as onion rings or Alfredo, etc. I was a little disappointed in the piccata this time. It was less lemony and more oily than I remember. The lemon wedge helped, but I don't think that piccata would have to need additional lemon to the sauce. The green beans also a little heavy on the butter as was the baked potato. I don't want to say that the meal wasn't flavorful, because it was and my server while really busy was an absolute gem, only that it was a little heavy with the melted butter. After many excellent experiences here, this won't turn me off to coming back again and trying something else. Especially if I can get a table in the back!

The bar is fun for before dinner and the two young ladies bartending were great and mixed fantastic drinks for us. We started with clothesline candied bacon as an appetizer , a beet salad and the chophouse salad that features a vinaigrette and apples. The beet salad was not really good. For dinner we chose the ribeye, cooked and served on a Himalaya salt brick with their homemade onion rings. We were hoping for crème brulee for dessert but it wasn't available. The dinner service was okay, but it seemed they were understaffed the evening we were there so there were some delays in our service.

I would try the restaurant again but definitely with an online reservation.

We saw that there were a couple two tops available on the front patio so we asked to be seated outside. Taylor was our waitress and she was fantastic.

By the way, they make their own blue cheese dressing, and it was beyond phenomenal, I was hoping we could buy it somewhere, but you cannot! The food was very tasty, albeit pricey, but we did have a lovely lunch date. We only had iced tea to drink so the total for both meals $48 before tip. Make sure to take a walk across the street and down to the waterfront to enjoy some of the beautiful lake superior views. There is a park down here as well as a big grassy area to just relax and enjoy the scenery. There might be street parking in front of the restaurant, but there is a public parking lot just a block away and it was about $2.50 for 3 1/2 hours so incredibly reasonable
