The restaurant is at the lake area with nice view while waiting. You can stroll while waiting. Our wait did not take long. We got a front row seat next to live music stage. We got Steak and Frite. It has hanger steak and the broccolini. It also has some fry. The sauce is very good. Love the food. Experience also good. Service is good.

Hardest review I have ever written. We were thrilled to try this place, and horribly let down by…read morethe experience, specifically by the server. The good - the atmosphere is great, the vibe pretty accurately replicating a French bistro. The food (what we did get) was good. Steak frites was awesome. The bad - never has a server failed so miserably. How? 1. Brought the wrong wine, then lied by insisting the house red was in fact a Côtes du Rhône. 2. Forgot two soups, delivered our entrees, said the soups were "coming" and reported "almost here" when we were half done with dinner. 3. Wrong dressing delivered on the salad, then delivered a different dressing with the request for extra. 4. The topper - the manager's comp dessert was either wrong or the pastry chef has never seen a real Basque Cheesecake. The manager was appreciative for the feedback, but the "fix" was to not make us pay for the wine that was wrong or the soup that never came. Not exactly the experience that will make us rush back. I know that staffing "up north" is tough, but this place was full of servers who appeared well in control and efficient. We drew the very short straw. Eat here at your own peril.

We had such a great experience at Maple and Batter, and a big part of that was our server, Mary…read more I've actually been here before and always find myself coming back because of her--she's that good. Mary is incredibly friendly, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you sit down. She's also very knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made ordering easy. She checks in at all the right times without being overbearing, keeps everything running smoothly, and brings such a positive energy to the whole experience. It's rare to find service this consistently great, but Mary truly stands out. If you're dining here, I highly recommend asking for her--you won't be disappointed!

Happy St. Patrick's Day !…read more Went out for an early lunch today - hubby had their corned beef sandwich, he said it was fantastic, meat was very tender and it was really stacked on there. Large sandwich - he brought 1/2 home it was so big, unusual for him to bring food home, but they give you a lot, came with fries and he said they were also great. I had a pineapple/red onion Pizza - delicious as always, Carl makes a super pizza - nice, mild homemade sauce on the pizza, big chunks of pineapple and red onions are sweet, not strong. Cooked to perfection, their pizzas are 14" (I think, might be 12", I've forgotten as I don't look at menu when I want pizza, just order my usual) I usually eat 3 pieces and bring home 3, today I ate 4 pieces, it was just so good, probably could have eaten the rest, but saved it for a snack tonight. If you want a non-alcoholic drink, they have the BEST Rootbeer around! Our server (I'm sorry I've forgotten your name), your green tutu is adorable. Service was awesome as usual update from previous review regarding music, it was not as loud as it was back in 2024 - mix of Irish music today

Everything we've…read moretried has been incredible--from the crepes and soufflés to the biscuits, quiche, and so many of the pastries. You really can't go wrong! The service is just as wonderful as the food. Even when they are crazy busy, they have the sweetest woman helping direct everyone and keeping things organized and moving smoothly. It's such a small touch, but it says a lot about how much they care about the experience. Delicious food, wonderful people, and consistently great every time we visit. If you're in Charlevoix, That French Place is a must!

Barrel Back is one of those restaurants I have really mixed feelings about because the food itself…read morecan be amazing. Their brisket is genuinely unmatched. We've had brisket at plenty of other places and nothing compares to theirs and it is absolutely the reason we continue coming back. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience doesn't consistently live up to the food. Wait times for food are often very long, and across multiple visits we've found the servers generally aren't very attentive. The other major issue is the price. It's very expensive for the amount of food you actually get, and especially in the current economy, that's hard to overlook. When you're paying that much for a meal, I think it's reasonable to expect not only excellent food, but excellent service and an overall experience that feels worth the price. That's ultimately why I'm torn. The brisket is five-star brisket, but the overall value and service aren't five-star. We'll probably still find ourselves coming back because apparently that brisket has a hold on us, but better service, shorter waits, and pricing that feels more proportional to the portions would make a huge difference.

It was warm, delicious, very tasty , a bit spicy and served on a really good soft bun with crispy edges. Perfectly cooked the sandwiches are served with orange slices , which is a nice break from chips or fries ! They have numerous coffe and matcha drinks hotv& cold. I tried the cold match blackberry lemonade and it was good and my hubby had the matcha raspberry latte and he really liked his. You know it's a great place when you unexpectedly run into the bride eating there the morning after her wedding!!! The only thing keeping me from giving this restaurant 5 stars ( because the food quality IS there !) is the bathroom situation. There's a very tiny sing men's and women's with a sink to wash hands inbetween. I didn't mind the " closet bathroom stall - I minded the dirty floor and the fact that when I went to wash my hands in the shared sink outside the stall in between the bathrooms , barely any soap dispenses! I went under 4 x just to get enough soap to get the buffalo sauce off of my hands. This is concerning because it makes you wonder if the cooks are bothering to try to get any soap on their hands ?! . Roast and Toast : *Clean the bathroom floors and get a new soap dispenser and I bet you'll get the stars and reviews your food deserves !

I hate to give a bad review but I also hate the idea of NOT giving one at all because the service…read morewasn't up to par and I don't wanna complain. However... Because the place was populated (but not crowded) and my order was simple (a matcha and cranberry chicken salad) Filling my order was a lay-up. The drink came in a timely fashion but my sandwich was nowhere to be found. Add to that I was sitting in the very visible window seat, by myself...a fact made more obvious by the fact that no one was near me and I'm a black dude in a very white restaurant (basically making me even more obvious). Now to be clear: I DO NOT think this was racially motivated, I DO think , however, it was due to inattentive staff. Personally I'm also not a fan of having to go get my food when they call my name, ESPECIALLY if the drink and the food come out at different times. Too much up and down for me. Cute place but I was disappointed...which bums me out because I really WANTED to like this place. This will probably be my only time here (as I am just passing through) and, sadly, this was the impression I was left with.
