We had a fabulous dinner last night prepared by Cameron CLI chef who is awesome!
It was one of the best meals we have had in along time. Thank you Cam!

I'm very surprised to see this restaurant maintain 4.5 stars overall. Maybe we hit a bad time frame on Saturday afternoon at 4:30pm, but I would not recommend CLI to anyone. Service was poor at best and the food left much to be desired for the price. Our brussel sprout appetizer came out missing most of the listed ingredients and when the server finally came around and was politely notified, he offered no apology whatsoever and did not take them off the bill. Their "best mac-n-cheese in Michigan" was bland and seriously underwhelming. Pulled pork seemed of poor quality and was drowning in sauce to try and hide that fact. The lakefront chicken was charcoaled badly on one side and just a sloppy mess overall. $3.75 for a cup of regular coffee. $100 total for 3 of us with no alcohol. This would be fine if the food and service matched but it just doesn't. We will not be going back.

Food was great, atmosphere was amazing sitting outside. They were quite busy and a little short staffed, but they did an amazing job.

We did a few different tastings before selecting our caterer and after we drove out to CLI for our tasting (we're from the suburbs of Chicago) we knew we had to go with CLI!
Shane & his team are incredible and we loved absolutely everything we tried!! Their selections make it so hard to narrow it down!
Our guests were raving about the food! We are so happy we went with CLI and would highly recommend them!

Very nice place. The food was very good, with a great location and atmosphere. Our party ordered the.. dockside risotto, prime rib brunch bowl, salmon benedict, grilled salmon sandwich, sweet potato tacos, and a smash burger. Music way too loud for a Sunday at 2pm.
Vegetarian options: Sweet potato tacos

This was a disappointing meal with a beautiful view. It was not busy and there were open tables but it took over 2 hours to get our meal. When the food finally got there, it was cold. We drove 45 minutes but will not be back.

Beautiful outdoor seating is a real plus. Crab dip appetizer was amazing, Lakeside Chicken Entree excellent. Limited hours so check before going.
Wheelchair accessibility: Has ramp but pretty steep
Update, New Owner, You must stop in, what a Difference. Food unbelievable, atmosphere always Stunning. Staff, to notch. See pics for now info, OUTSTANDING. We go at least once a month.
Ran into second issue now, we will not be going back. Wait staff is poor (except Brody), Mary(hostess, Manager, ass. Manager not sure what her role was) full of excuses, rude, dingbat! To be successful you have to surround yourself with successful people. Not the case here, burgers were not as good this time 1/8 of a burger was raw meat, not cooked. Had to ask for everything, then got that..is there anything else I can get you..Yes ALL the items I asked for the first time..geez..scenery good, nothing else.. New Owner Dana has really spruced up the place. Atmosphere better, burgers are unbelievable! Brody is a waiter that stands out. Sitting in the deck watching the boat traffic was outstanding.

Kid-friendliness: The Outside deck or inside Dinning is great for Families with children
