    $7.50 for a draft !! rip off. Will never go here again. 39 years coming to the lake and never…read moreseen such a gouge to the customer. shame on you

    Our first visit to Encore and it definitely won't be our last!…read more The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. The upper level has a more upscale feel, with a beautiful dining room and an incredible covered outdoor space complete with a stage for live music. The massive windows and stunning views overlooking the peninsula make it the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy the evening. As for the food... wow. I had the crab legs, which were cooked perfectly, but can we talk about the green beans for a minute? They were ridiculously good. If licking the bowl in public wasn't frowned upon, I might have considered it. Colin ordered the salmon, which was absolutely beautiful and served with rice pilaf. Chris went with the crab-crusted walleye, and it was cooked to perfection. Emma Grace chose the giant pretzel, and giant is an understatement, it was the size of a dinner plate! It came with an assortment of charcuterie-style accompaniments that were fantastic all on their own. Then came dessert, and somehow things got even better. The bread pudding was hands-down one of the best I've ever had. I don't eat bread pudding often, but this one may have ruined all future bread puddings for me. We also shared the cheesecake and cookie skillet, and every bite was delicious. To top it all off, our waitress Makayla was absolutely wonderful and made the entire experience even better. Great food, beautiful views, amazing service, and a fantastic atmosphere. Encore knocked it out of the park. We'll definitely be making a return trip next summer!

There was a 5-10 minute wait to be seated which was not bad at all. Of course this was off season, so can't imagine what peak season is like here. Waiter knew his stuff well. Explained the specials and what to expect. I ordered a sirloin steak. Medium rare. Ordered it with fries and the veggies off the day. We got our Caesar salad and it was good! About 10-15 minutes later got our meal. Fries were perfect. Veg was nice. Steak however was medium well. I brought it to the attention of our waiter and he promptly apologized and took it back. Got a new one back in about 10 minutes. Steak was medium well again. I mentioned this and he offered to take it back, but I refused. Kinda disappointed for a steak spot that they can't cook to temp perfectly. It was fairly tough to cut through and could have used more seasoning. The sear and grill marks were perfect. I tried my friends salmon and it was perfect. So if you come here, skip the steak and go with the fish.
