Esthetically pleasing location and very clean. However, we waited quite a bit at the door to be seated and they were dead-like one other person at the bar. Then with our order, we got seated first, had our order taken first, and a couple who came in quite a bit after us received their food first with similar size order (that was seated). It took a long time to get our food and when we did receive it, we had to send one salad back to be remade (and the salad didn’t even look the same-less toppings and greens-when it came out the second time). The fries tasted like they were cooked in older oil and very dark. My steak was overcooked (not medium-well at all-they let it rest too long probably waiting for the rest of the food) it was well done and dry, and my Brussels sprouts were burnt black and were so hard to eat-the bacon and cranberries were so charred. Potatoes were very congealed and tough. They were also out of one of the items needed to make my drink and they weren’t even aware of it. Overall, for $120 I expected better, especially when I had visited locations before in Michigan and the food was amazing. Definitely some quality control issues that need to be addressed as well as the cook in the kitchen needs more experience.

Exceptional service, and great food. We visited on a Friday evening just after 5pm. Candice was exceptional from getting us seated to helping us with to-go boxes. The cheese cake she suggested was perfect! Thank you for a great experience!

Fish and chips wasn't the best. Fish was over fried and salty, the jacked up cole slaw was over jacked and burned our stomach, the jalapeño tarter wasn't appealing at all. Likely won't be back anytime soon, and we live in the area.

Wonderful time coming here for dinner while staying at the Best Western next door. Service was amazing, and their waitress who was serving us was extraordinary polite and helped us with any questions we had about what all was on the menu. The Hogan Egg Rolls and Cheeseburger Pub Bites were hot and fresh and tasted great. The Passion Fruit Pork Chop was tender and very flavorful. The Braised Beef Short Rib was nice and hot, and had good flavor to it. And the New York Style Cheesecake with Chocolate drizzle and Strawberries was divine and very fluffy with great taste to it.
Was a great choice choosing to eat here for dinner, and the price for the food too made it worth coming here. Very much will be coming back here again sometime.
Update: Came back here again for drinks and some food to unwind and had another great experience. Ordered a Strawberry Margarita and a Pub Punch. Both had wonderful flavor with a great balance of flavor and alcohol to them. The appetizers of Mozzarella Sticks, Cheeseburger Pub Bites, and Hogan's Egg Rolls tasted great. And the Brownie Bottom Pie Desert we ordered was delicious.
Once again, can't reiterate how good this place is and will definitely be coming back again.

Stayed at the Best Western connected to the restaurant and went for both nights my partner and I stayed. I can say the atmosphere was very comfortable and relaxed. As for the staff, extremely friendly and nice. I will definitely come back again.

Since we don’t have one where we’re from, we made the trip down to clear lake to partake. Their food is just as good as I remember, made better with a pint of Guinness.
Will make the trip again!
