Specials are out, NO white fish and no scallops, shrimp Lenny was dry AF and had a drop of sauce. While pricing has gone up significantly. Service was average. Eva was our server. She did her best with the kitchen and hostess handing her lemons. Had to ask a few times for some things.. Like the scallops and had a return of web to wedge with unripe lettuce. Never got handled. We asked since nothing was gonna be done for it to be taken off the bill. Once seated we were sat at 8 top for 11 people and had to argue with the hostess and threaten to leave and then again ask our server for an additional empty table. It was resolved. Food menu is shrinking and price have gone up 20% over last year. To start we always arrive early and have a drink and pictures on the back patio . The Bartender had no idea how to make a Boulevardier. And didn't even know where to look? The ambience has become a burger and trailer park crowd. We probably won't come back until they bring back menu items, improve quality of food coming out or lower prices or expectations This is NOT the same DLB sadly. I don't normally leave reviews like this unless there are major issues that are NOT resolved at the local level. No attempts were made to correct salad issue until I asked the waitress. Dinner was better but the perfectly cooked stake but room temp and was not salted. I asked for kosher salt and it was brought out promptly. Our visit was on Thursday at 7:15 pm. No excuses for things to be this bad! I haven't been this unimpressed since eating a Mcdonald's hamburger. It's become Culver's with overpriced stakes :( Also this dining experience was on a Thursday night where the place was 3/4 full. Sadly our tradition ends with the DLB. We hoped after the last two years it could have been better. We tried but it wasn't.

Kelly operated the market and ran the former lunchroom. I was very excited to try the restaurant at dinnertime and I was not disappointed. The dining room has maybe 15 tables. Its an attractive room, but dark. You do not come here for the view. While I loathe the term, the best description for the dining room is shabby chic. The menu features an assortment of special cocktails, 4 or 5 appetizers, and 6 or 7 entrees. I am always wary of places with menus that go on page after page. So I was okay with the smaller menu. They have a full bar. At my table we ordered a shrimp appetizer, that was paired with burrata, watermelon and corn. It looked beautiful and the burrata--hard to find up here--was great. We also had the crab cake appetizer which was also served with corn. It was great, with lots of crab. For entrees, I had the duck with a tasty Asian BBQ sauce. The duck breast was cooked just the way I liked it. While duck is not a rarity in the north woods, the pairing with the lighter Asian sauce was a nice touch. Also at the table was a rack of lamb. Frankly, that is what I hope to have next time. I stole a chop and it was out of this world. Tender and well flavored. Seriously, it was some of the finest lamb i have ever had, I only got to steal one chop. For dessert we had a chocolate delice, which was a frozen combination of chocolate and almond cookie. It was also great. I thought the prices were very cheap for fine dining up north. Put this restaurant in downtown Petoskey and each of the entrees would have been ten dollars more--at least. They do take reservations. It really filled up when we were there. I highly recommend you give this joint a try. I also recommend that you park on the side. Backing out onto 31 is not that fun.
