We got the rigatoni and the fish sandwich. Both were incredible! Great atmosphere - you can see so much of the lake. Very nice service also!Vegetarian options: All vegetarian options are labeled, and many are labeled that can be substituted for vegetarian options. Same for gluten free.Dietary restrictions: Courteous and accommodating of allergies (shellfish in our case)!

We stopped after a long walk in the woods on a snowy March afternoon. Fortunately for us, there was a table right next to the fire! My wife and I shared half a grilled salad and the ribeye. We warmed up with a glass of the house red wine and Keweenaw Widow Maker. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, and the service was great.

Beautiful scenery during this time of year overlooking a frozen lake. Staff was professional and welcoming. Food was excellent. I had their Pulled Pork BBQ sliders...OUTSTANDING. Atmosphere was also great for an evening with family.

Took so long to get seated and then get food that it wasn't worth our time. I'm still waiting for my food, and it has been 2 hours since we arrived. This is Walloon Lake folks, not Chicago.Honestly, if you want a good meal, go to Charlevoix or Petoskey.Parking: Across the street in a public lot.

Really expensive and expected more. Servers happy, very slow service. Food was not worth it. Alfredo sauce was bitter, drink refills very slow with allot of servers. Very surprised at overall lack.

We visited New Year's weekend and chose this restaurant because of the allergy-friendly options. It was a busy night with an hour wait for a table, but the food was good, and sadly we visited on a short winter's day and did not to enjoy the lake view as it was dark. I also thought the prices were reasonable for what it was. We will be back if in the area again. I really enjoyed my walleye sandwich.

Great spot with wonderful food and staff. Super fun with the retail store below to enjoy if there’s a wait! One of my most favorite spots.

Wonderful service, pretty view, but $8 to add six pieces of chicken to an already overpriced quesadilla? I didn't want beans and asked for chicken (not to substitute) without paying attention to the add price. My bad! C'est la vie!
