Recommended to us by our AirBnb host. It was a nice way to relax on our first night here. The view was amazing, the food was good, and the service was 5 Star.

Kid-friendliness: You walk through a bar area to the restaurant. However, that seems to be a normal thing here.

Honestly, I’m so happy we came after reading some of the bad reviews, the food was delicious, Cassie was our server, she was super attentive and delightful. The views are absolutely amazing, this place is a great place to grab dinner! Thank you Schooners for a beautiful dinner!

Hard to tell if they’re trying to be a dive bar or a fancy restaurant. The view is nice and the prices are high, but the service is bad, and it smelled strongly of Fabuloso. We went for dinner on a Tuesday, and were greeted energetically by a smoker on the deck, who told us to sit anywhere we’d like. We proceeded to sit by a window in the mostly empty restaurant and choke on the Fabuloso scent. About 5 minutes later we were again noticed by another server and ordered drinks. The menu provided was the lunch menu (at 7pm) and there wasn’t a lot to choose from. We got the steak and walleye specials to share. Both were underwhelming but fine, but for 40 bucks, I’d like to be able to taste my food over the cleaning products. We weren’t offered refills on drinks till our food was gone. The house made blue cheese salad dressing was the highlight but I don’t know if that will be enough to save this place!!!

Wanted to try a place off the beaten path on our way to Helena. We had the fish and chips, which was great. The beer I had was tasty and I would definitely stop here again in the future. The sweet lady behind the bar was very nice as well. Will return in the future.

Nothing ruins a beautiful lake view like a moldy boat smell throughout the whole restaurant and bar. Heck, the ice cubes, glass and water also smelled and tasted like a moldy boat. Service was sketchy with a woman being helped by her young daughter wiping tables.
Then a party of 10 showed up and no extra help in sight until the owners had to deliver the drinks. What saved the outing was the walleye fish and chips, although $20 was steep. Spaghetti and meatballs including dinner salad and bread $30!!! And to push the butter knife deeper in our backs, when we got the check, wine was $10 a glass!!!!
We won't be back. Long drive for a disappointing outing.

I don't know how this place gets such high reviews. We waited over an hour for 2 burgers only to find out that they forgot to put our order in. We realized that everyone around us was served so we finally asked. We also had to go the bar for our own drinks. The only reason they got a 2 versus a 1 is because they didn't charge us for 4 drinks. Go somewhere else!
