Went last night 10/14/24
It was a HUGE disappointment!!!
First of all, there were flies all around everybody INSIDE the restaurant!!!!! We spent the entire meal swatting as we ate!!! ??
The server could not keep up and there were only four tables altogether!!! She was supposed to bring me out a second plate and never did so. I had to share my meal with my son eating over a napkin!!! I swatted flies away from everything the entire time! There were three of us, and all three of us were spotting the damn flies!!!! This is completely unacceptable!!!! And most certainly unenjoyable!!! We only ordered one main meal, a sandwich and an appetizer and 2 cups of soup and the damn bill was over $100!!!!! My appetizer was Luke warm .... That is too much for mediocre food!!!!
We will never be going back!!!

Rude customers and wait staff. Was given dirty looks during the entire dining experience. Couldn’t find host stand and nobody welcomed us in. Hostess seemed like she didn’t want to seat us. Also completely ignored me on my way out when I said have a good night, I know she heard me. Food is hella overpriced. Really not worth it. Not coming back.

Unless you’re sitting outside wear EARPLUGS.
Absolutely NO acoustics. It is beyond bizarre why they continue to not have ANYTHING to try and quiet the NOISE.

Not a place for vegetarians. I will happily change this review when options expand.

Wow oh wow! How do I even start a review about this place! Everything about this place is mind-blowing! I absolutely love this place; the view is just breathtaking! It almost feels like something you'd see in a movie. There are plenty of seating arrangements, including a more private area for people who want to sit outside but be close to the bar. The seating arrangements are both indoors and outdoors. Plenty of tables from looking out to the lake, some longer tables for bigger parties, and also some tables closer to the doors leading inside the actual restaurant to the indoor seating. There are lights that are close to the door hanging around the back of the building to have more of a romantic feeling to it, which in my opinion really enhancing the feeling of the atmosphere. The server we had was caring and sweet! Even slightly talkative! We even saw a groundhog! The music playing in the background wasn't too loud but there was a lot of good songs playing! I had the nachos. Not a disappointment! One of the best nachos I've ever had! I also had the kitty cocktail! Which really hit the spot! All around the atmosphere was 5/5, service 5/5 view 5/5. She server refilled my drink and was very fast and efficient bringing our food out. Told us we can pay the check and linger if we wanted too! Just all around a really good experience! I will be coming back to this place as soon as I'm in the area again!
Wheelchair accessibility: Unfortunately it's not really wheel chair accessibility. There's stairs on both sides of the building leading to the restaurant. Inside the building there's more stairs to go down to it. Multiple ways. But none for the handicapped ?

The outdoor patio seating provides you a great view of the lake and a very relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend the Ahi Tuna Nachos. The tuna was cooked perfectly, and the sauce drizzled over the top was phenomenal. Our waitress was very helpful and gave us great service. The chef even came out and asked how everything was, you do not see that everyday. Very impressed with everything here.

I loved every second of this place! Workers are very respectful and kind, and helped pick out delicious food! The tacos and fries were mouth watering and when we left, there wasn’t a crumb in sight!

When we first arrived the waitress had an attitude like her Vikings football team lost (they did) or just was having a bad day at work. Then I noticed she was the only server working and became a little more empathetic. I came for walleye so I focused on the food. You can’t visit northern Minnesota and not eat walleye! The blackened walleye was a little over seasoned but walleye is a great fish to eat even overcooked. Overall, menu is pretty limited as there are no ribs and brisket like some reviews have mentioned. In the end I gave a decent tip because the food was great. I hope the server realizes that her attitude could have been better short staffed or not and fortunately there are understanding people like me.

beautiful views but really bad service, we waited 30 mins to have our order taken, no apology and then came out wrong. really wanted to love this place and has heard high praise from family and friends but this place was mediocre in a town full of other lakeside dining. disappointing.

When they are busy, don’t bother because the food quality goes downhill!! Some bartenders are wonderful but others are straight rude to teens staying at the resort. Then there are the flies in the bar restaurant area, which could easily have been deterred with some ceiling fans…….just sayin….
