The salad bar was a great, nostalgic touch. The decor was outstanding and exactly what you want in a Northwoods restaurant, warm, rustic, and inviting. Service was wonderful and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Server also helped us navigate menu for gluten free options. We will definitely be back.

Lots of parking which might be really needed during the tourist season. Tonight's meal was so so. Was attracted to this place because it had a salad bar. Sadly a number of the offerings were gone, or almost gone. It needed attention! The special tonight was a Rib eye with a baked potato. The Rib Eye was cooked well and had decent seasoning, but the cut of meat was not very good. The cut quality was closer to what I'd expect at steak buffet than at a sit down restaurant. (Could very well have been just bad luck) but when you pay restaurant price for a nice steak you don't expect to get a bad one. It is still the "off" season, but this restaurant just seemed to be understaffed. I ate at the bar and the one bartender was working his but off. But waiting until he was done making drinks to get get butter for my potato (came without any) and salt and pepper got a but trying. Also getting an empty bottle of A1 Sauce was not impressive. Hopefully they have more staff when the real crowds get to town.

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.

Managing a waitlist for tables is not rocket science. We ate at the bar instead. And beware, if you order a pizza other than what their standard menu offerings are, suddenly you are paying for each individual ingredient. For example, we ordered a meats pizza and added three toppings. Instead of paying ~$20 plus what the additional 3 toppings cost we ended up paying $50 plus for a 15" pizza because each ingredient was itemized separately. Ridiculous! It's enough to make us not want to go back, regardless of how good the pizza was.

When we ordered they…read morespecifically said "the food will come out when it comes, we aren't a restaurant so we will get to the food when we get to it, it's not like an appetizer that will come before the lobster roll." We went for the first time for Lobster roll night and the lobster roll was FANTASTIC! The Burrata and Grasshopper were tasty as well but the Mozzarella Wontons lacked mozzarella and were practically empty inside, maybe a very tiny sprinkle of cheese. I'd go back again for their specialty lobster night in a heartbeat but could do without the other items we had. I'd probably try a few more light bites from the menu. The server was pretty good but left us and other hanging for a long period and many people ended up going to the bar to get help, but again this is mainly a bar and the special night had a place full of patrons for food and I believe our server was the only one for the whole place and then two people solely behind the bar.
