the food is great pub food. cocktails excellent. that's the two stars. they deserve 4 for food. but the bad experience of service means it took away from any other rating. inside is noisy, outside is not. in the summer inside is what you want if you don't like a sweaty dinner. shoulder season they open the garage doors to the lake which is lovely. But, the worst part is the service. We waited over an hour AFTER ordering and watched a table of 3 (we were 2) get steaks and burgers after our fried fish. The waitress wasn't proactive to give us input. I had to ask for my appetizer. Side salad was 30 minutes after first ordering. (waitress said short a line cook, manager said we are fully staffed). Why can't people just be proactive and tell you what's up. I'd rather someone say "sorry, we are backed up, sorry we forgot your meal, sorry a cook walked out" than have me sit and sit and wonder and get upset. we are in rural Michigan and i was raised in this area. i live in a urban area now, but no restaurant rural or urban would leave you like this. read more
