I absolutely LOVE the atmosphere here!!! The view is incredible no matter where you sit. And the fireplace right in the middle of the room is SOOOOO cozy to sit by on a cold day. Everything I’ve had to eat here has been great, I can’t really pick a favorite. The house guac is AMAZING!
Vegetarian options: If a dish is not vegetarian they can make it that way, just like any good restaurant should.

I dined in with 8 other people for breakfast on a Sunday and was seated immediately. The food was outstanding, slightly pricey, but very well worth it due to big portions! Great view of the lake inside with a nice big fireplace in the middle of the room. Our service wasn’t lightning speed in terms of checking on us, but our food came out pretty quickly. When our server came over to check on us, she did a great job of refilling drinks each time without us asking her to. There is also a big gift shop downstairs when you walk in. You have to walk upstairs or take the elevator to get to the restaurant. This was a great brunch place and I would definitely come back!
Vegetarian options: There are some menu items that can be made vegetarian upon request. There’s a special icon on their menu indicating this option.
Parking: There is a small parking lot as well as lots of street parking.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair accessible entrance and an elevator option to access the restaurant upstairs.

If you come here try the mushrooms pasta and eat at the restaurant because its not gonna taste the same if you take it home.
The pasta was delicious and even my husband who is gluten free had one of the best GF pastas ever. The carrot cake is also GF and it tastes amazing.

One of my favorite up north restaurants. The food is always very good. The dining area was busy and we were told there would be a wait. Ended up sitting at the bar and had excellent service!! Make sure to get the carrot cake even if you have to get it to go! So worth it!!

We stopped in on a Friday night for an early dinner. We sat and were served immediately. Our server Christopher was awesome.. The chocolate martini was on point. We got the Perogi as an appetizer. I was a little disappointed with the bacon and kraut not being inside but still delicious. We got the pasta, chicken bbq pizza and cuban. All were flavorful and hit the spot. The view is to die, for and the ambiance is phenomenal.
We will be back when we are in the area.

What a great find in this small area. You will not find better views and the food was excellent. Our waitress was super friendly and really helpful with an uneven table. The soft pretzel was incredible and my husband had the brisket chili and said the bite to it was pleasant. Would come back if I was in the area for sure.

We had breakfast this morning & we've been here several times! The sausage was flavorless and there was no butter of jelly for the toast! Potato's were dried out & I think you should offer hash browns! Not a very good atmosphere when flies are landing on your food! We spent 100.00 for our 3 meals and we were really disappointed 😞

Do not waste your time with this restaurant. Our experience was horrible and we will not be back. We ordered soup and an appetizer that took 45 minutes to come out, soups were missing bread. Then, our food took another hour after that and was hardly mediocre. Burger was cooked wrong and chicken was overcooked and way too salty. We had to flag our waitress down to ask where our food was, she let us know that there were a few tickets ahead of us and it would be out shortly. It took another 30 minutes after that. When we spoke to the manager, she was dismissive and blamed her waitstaff for not communicating to her that the kitchen was taking longer than normal. She would not apologize or take responsibility for the poor experience. Absolutely ridiculous and appalling.
