The food was cold, flavorless and nasty!
Hospital food is ten times better.
Very disappointed.

Rudest host staff I have ever dealt with waited 35 mins for a table as they seated guest after guest.

You cant go wrong with the perch and truffle fries! Ten of us went. Pasta dish had no flavor. Kids steak was significantly overdone. Was not asked how she wanted it. The quesadilla were runny and bland. The briquet nachos were essentially chili on chips and bland. I dont think the waitress said two words. Used to love this place

A local told us we needed to visit here while in town and we are SO glad we came. If you are a fan of sour beers, they have a great Jolly Pumpkin brand selection.
The vibe of this building is second to none. Spooky yet cozy at the same time. Service was top tier. Our server, Penashe, was always on time and personable. She helped curate the Jolly Pumpkin experience.
We got truffle fires as an appetizer and they were some of the best truffle fries I’ve had. Fresh, truffle, Parmesan cheese coated goodness. The pepperoni pizza we got was AMAZING. I love good pizza, and this was GOOD pizza. Crust was perfect, dough was house made, perfect ration of pepperoni. We finished our meal off with the Pumpkin Cake and it was 10/10.
Overall, this place is a local legend. If you’re in the area, you MUST come here.

The food was ok. What you order will taste good but do not try to change anything on it because your server will say no to everything. They have little to no options on food and the servers know nothing about the menu. I asked multiple questions and my server often answered “I don’t know”. They never went and asked to clarify our questions and often rolled their eyes. If you are here for an adult trip do not come, children are often running around the bar and dining area and bumping into you. I highly do not recommend this place and think they need a lot of help especially in the server area

The sloppy joe was probably the most boring sandwich Ive ever eaten. It wasn't sweet nor spicy- it was so bland. My family said they liked their sandwiches at least. The carrot cake was decent and so were the two ciders we tried. It was nice that they let us taste them before getting a glass. The server was nice, but split our check evenly between all of us, making some of us pay way more than we were planning to (cause we paid for others additions).

It's a nice quaint place. It is quiet and the atmosphere is excellent. The quality of their food is a thumbs up.

This place is gem as it is a very old house from a railroad executive from Chicago that has been converted into a Restaurant so it has so much character! The deck has a cool view of the lake and the pulled pork nachos were delicious! Would definitely be back!

WOW! What a hidden gem we found here! Being newbies to the peninsula, we were uncertain where to eat.. stopped here last minute and were so glad we did! The seating outdoors was very pleasant. The food was so delicious! And the service was some of the best! Definitely going to return next time we are in the area.

Absolutely love the food here! The service is very hit or miss, though. You're in good hands with the two older guys that both serve and bartend. If you get someone else though, good luck.

Every staff member was so nice. Each food item we ordered was delicious. The whipped goat cheese was so good, as was the southwest salad. Our friends got pizza and truffle fries which were great too. Kids meals came with a lot of food for the price.

Wow! The view is gorgeous on the patio, the place is great to explore while you wait for your seat. The food is really great and service is wonderful. I was shocked to stumble upon a place this good on accident. Take note the weather was incredible, that certainly never hurts.
