We love this place and try to come a few times a year for special occasions. We went this past weekend for my dad's birthday and it was awesome! The $60 meal special allows you to try three dishes (appetizer/salad, entree, dessert). The drinks are always perfect. They take great care of my mom who has several dietary restrictions which is much appreciated.Dietary restrictions: Gluten freeShellfish freeTree nut free
The food was so delicious and the portions generous. Service was excellent. We watched a beautiful sunset. Can't wait to go back and have another cocktail

Good food is good food, and this place has undeniably good food. It's cozy and rich and has a sophisticated touch that no where in a several mile radius can touch. If you try it, you will love it. That's all there is to it.

The Braised Short rib with Brussels sprouts, squash, and polenta cake was amazing. The short rib was very soft and flavorful! Just delicious! The polenta cake added a nice texture and base for the au jus sauce. Truffle fries were very tasty as well. Service was very good. Interior was elegant but not pretentious. Could use some more artwork/accent lighting in the main dining room. The front bar area was very nice too. Overall, very nice experience with views of Walloon Lake!

The Walloon Lake Inn remains one of the very best places in our area for a special evening out. The food is excellent, service is better, the place is gorgeous (as is the outside when the weather is better), and it is very romantic. Our go to for any upscale night out.

Our third time at this restaurant and it clearly excels. In addition to being delectable, the dishes are artfully crafted and presented. Local fish and eat entrees are sublime. Service there from all staff is superb and we highly recommend giving it a try. Yes it's a little pricey, but the experince is certainly worth it. Go!

We were seated promptly in a very good location. The service was quick and attentive without being intrusive. The food was superb. Beautifully presented and delicious. Prices are high but the specials make it a good value. A great place for a special occasion or when you want a first class meal.

We celebrated a very special 90th birthday and our bunch was treated very well. We were surprised with custom menus! The food was delicious and beautifully displayed. Everyone agreed the portions were generous. Definitely will be dining here more in the future.
WLI is our favorite restaurant in northwest Michigan. Every meal we've ever ordered was delicious and seasoned perfectly. Staff is friendly and attentive. View and ambience are magnificent.
Our second visit and continues to exceed all expectations. The polite and attentive staff along with delectable foods in an exquisite experience. Value can be found too, if you look for it. This small 12-15 table venue has been incredible with high quality ingredients used to make scrumptious foods and presented impeccably. I can't emphasize enough how much you should visit this venue OR how I look forward to our next visit.

Service was great. Whitefish was not good based on review of 2 people in our group. 2 of us had salmon and it was great. We might recommend some sound boards to help with noise levels.

Have been to Walloon Lake Inn many times. This was the first time I was somewhat disappointed. Service was very rushed, just over an hour from amuse bouche to the bill laying on the table -- still had half of a bottle of wine. Food was B-. Potatoes were lukewarm, pan sauce on the steak was broken.

Our first visit to the Inn and we are already planning our next visit. It was my wife's ? and they customized the header on the menu w/a Happy Birthday greeting. The service (Janice) timing was always right and extremely pleasant. The food options could satisfy almost everyone's palate. The off-season, three course menu was an outstanding value. Thanks for making a special occasion even more special!

One of our favorite places to eat, Walloon Lake Inn has incredible food and their 3 courses for $60 is an amazing deal.
