Tried this place out for dinner last night! It's a beautiful place! Right on the water! Great views, and food was good! Service was okay! Our waitress was a mess! Added chicken onto our salad, said it would take forever to get it off! She did not handle it well. Overall we will be back! They are trying their best for it being a new restaurant! Felt bad over the bill! Give this place a chance!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Amber Peterson · Oct 2025

Food portions are small. Quick to get food to our table since there were only 5 groups when we arrived on a Thursday for dinner. It was very loud when we left when the place was full. Unfortunately, there is no changing table, so if you have kids in diapers just be aware. Great location by the water. My friend got a salad and the chicken was not sliced which was inconvenient for her. We got the cheese curds as an appetizer and were dissatisfied. They say they have a funnel cake batter, but it was very thin and you could not taste the difference from a regular batter.

We stopped in on a quiet Thursday during shoulder season and were pleasantly surprised. Even though the place wasn’t busy, the staff didn’t act bored or bothered to be there — which can definitely happen at some restaurants this time of year. Instead, everyone was welcoming, attentive, and upbeat. The food was excellent, the service was spot-on, and Logan behind the bar deserves a shout-out for being both friendly and knowledgeable. Great drinks, great vibes — absolutely worth the visit. We’ll be back! PS. We had Chicken Alfredo & Chicken Cesar Salad. Both lovely just forgot to take pictures!

We have been in for dinner several times, which is always fabulous. Today we had breakfast which was amazing. I had the Sunrise Scramble with a biscuit and my husband and son had biscuits and gravy. We all loved our meal!

This restaurant is in a great location. They use large windows to take advantage of the views. We got in right away and sat outside. They have a huge and nice bar. There is a TV at the bar. We ordered the popcorn perch appitizer, very good. We got for our entrees potato crusted whitefish, peach Moscato chicken, yakisoba bowl and pisolero pasta. No complaints about any of the dishes. The side of veggies are chest choice, they were good. The protein meals were smaller portions but still filling. We also got dessert. We chose old fashion zucchini bread and peanut butter pumpkin mousse. They were both tasty, enough to share. If you sit on the patio the umbrella have their own lights. It is all one level and easy for handicapped access. The parking is still gravel and unmarked.
