Customer Reviews

★★★★★ 5.0 Fab O. · Jan 2026

the chili was amazing. As a side order it was not only large and filling, but very high quality. Most places will use leftover meats and vegetables for their chilli, but it is clear that they used good and well cooked cuts of beef. The atmosphere is wonderful, staff is kind and price is very reasonable.

★★★★★ 5.0 Josh Shook · Dec 2025

First time visiting this establishment. Our server was fantastic and so helpful, the food was flavorful and fresh, and despite their busy Sunday afternoon the turnaround to receive our meal wasn't bad at all. The holiday decorations, the fire place, and the snow coated lake view made the entire occasion very cozy. I'm pretty sure we'll be back soon.

If I had any complaints about this place, it was only because we had to leave! Lol. The staff & manager here is amazing. The food was exquisite & reasonable priced for an upscale restaurant. The Gluten-friendly, vegan, and other allergen friendly menu was amazing. All of our food came out hot & fresh. The shrimp were so fresh they tasted like I was on the coast. The scene were matched by beautiful on the water views of the lake. Next time we are in Michigan, I know where we will be stopping.

Great Ambiance seating available on the dock overlooking the lake. Appetizer was Salmon Cakes very good. Entree looked and tasted like giant fish sticks from a box. Drinks were good. Staff was amazing. Clean inside and out nice parking lot.

★★★★★ 5.0 Clayton Boesen · Oct 2025

The view off the back deck for dinner was quite lovely. Dinner came out moderately fast and delivered by a server other than the wait staff. I would come back and continue my experience through the menu.
