We visited The Bayfield Inn while in town because we had heard it was one of the nicer dining spots…read morein Bayfield, and my mom and I were hoping for an elevated dinner experience by the water. The rooftop seating was the highlight -- beautiful views and a really nice atmosphere sitting outside overlooking the water. We ordered the steak frites to share. The steak itself was very good -- cooked perfectly and full of flavor. However, the presentation was very underwhelming. It was served as just a piece of steak on a plastic plate with no real plating or sides. Our fries were also removed as a side from our meal, thinking there was a miscommunication there with the kitchen. We also asked for an extra plate and silverware to share, and were given a paper plate and plastic utensils, which made it difficult to eat a steak comfortably and felt inconsistent with the expected level of dining. Just odd! Our server mentioned he was new, which we appreciated, and he did refill drinks and check in a few times. Overall, though, the service felt a bit flat and not especially engaging. At the end, the bill was around $75 for the steak frites plus a service charge, which we hadn't seen elsewhere in town. Between the pricing, service, and presentation, the experience didn't quite match expectations. Overall, the rooftop and steak were enjoyable, but the experience felt inconsistent.

They had just started serving dinner to the tables and our waitress Ruby was very attentive and helpful. You no longer have to go up to bar and place your order & then wait & pick it up. The cheese curds were some of the best we have had. Fish & chips was good/ one order was enough for 2. They had a good selection of beers & drinks. After a 3 hour boat ride it was just what we needed.

In the 20 minutes we spent waiting to be at least greeted, he had time to kiki with other tables and give a performance of a lifetime pretending to be mad at another waiter for not taking our order. When we tried to order the salmon, he loudly cut us off and borderline scolded us for not knowing they were out. When we chose to go elsewhere, he immediately stormed off to complain about us to other staff. No wonder they are hiring.

Not only is this plain weird but it's a dumb business practice when the fish fry is all you can eat because people ask for more expensive fish instead of filling up on cheap fries!

Given the holiday weekend, Labor Day, I knew rates would be higher and availability tight. There are no chain hotels in this area, so read your reviews and cross your fingers ;) I was able to get a better rate online via southwest hotels rather than via their website and calling them....even though it was a disappointment for almost $200/night later. The check in desk is only open until 10:00PM, thank goodness we arrived by 9:30PM. The man at the lobby desk was kind. The Inn is two levels with no elevator. We had a double queen room on the first floor. The place is dated, and gives you a motel vibe. It wasn't the cleanest room I've stayed in, but it was a place to rest after a long day of driving. The water pressure was weak in the shower as well, but the water was hot! There is a coffee maker and fridge in the room. The furniture was a little mismatched and the lamp on the nightstand didn't work. They do offer complementary coffee and cocoa in the lobby. There is bottled water for sale along with tshirts and sweatshirts-which were actually cute! The best thing about the place was the view in the morning, grab your coffee and take a stroll along the water!

It was the little things that made this a nice stay at this an old fashion motel. Our room was decorated in a fishing theme but in the morning I peeked into other rooms that were unoccupied and they were each decorated in a different northwoods theme. The room was a good size and had two queen beds with plenty of room to spare. It also had a microwave, tv, fridge, ac, a small sitting area and a large sink area outside the bathroom. The room also a screen door...seriously...it was like being at home or a cabin. The outside had chairs and beautiful hanging plants. Also a picnic table off to the side. They even have a freezer full of ice and a fish cleaning station. If you are in the mood for the experience of a classic roadside motel, look no further.
