Great place to dine and the service was amazing. Small town vibe with great hearted people.
Outrageous prices for absolute minimum food. 14 dollars for an appetizer of a fried pickle?
Great atmosphere and wonderful food

This was one of the best meals my husband and I have had in a long time! The food was excellent and so was the service. It’s an hour drive for us, but we will certainly be returning!! 100/10 must try.
Arrived to the lakeside establishment on a beautiful Saturday at 4:00PM when they opened. Sat at the bar, where the friendly staff took my drink order, handed me a menu and told me their specials. I went with their prime rib special that came with corn, baked potato, and I upgraded my salad to the optimus prime rib soup. My food arrived at 4:22, and the 16oz medium rare prime rib did not disappoint, it melted in my mouth. I soon found myself in a man versus food situation, but managed to clear my plate. I paid my tab, loosened my belt and hopped back on my motorcycle for a nice ride home. Will be taking another visit again, for sure!

I’ve been there a couple of times with family and… AMAZING! The food, the service, the drinks, all 10/10! It is a little pricey but it is 100% worth it for what you get, and the quality. I definitely recommend the seafood tortellini if you do go! Amazing!
Whatever service/friendliness issues there were from previous reviews appear to have been ironed out, as every staff member was energetic and engaging. We were immediately greeted & seated with a lake view. Offered water while we selected drinks & given the details on the specials, which rotate.
We've driven by so many times without realizing what we were missing, thinking it was just a lakeside bar. I'm so glad we decided to swing in once hearing about the "not bar fare food"
Seafood in North Dakota, ehhhh, how brave do you feel? We started with shrimp stuffed shrooms. It only comes with 3, but they are piled high & tasty. It turns out we really didn't need an app tho, as I'm currently eating my boxed up food while I'm writing this review.
I honestly haven't been in such a personable place in a long time &, no, we aren't regulars or locals. We were given a tip to come back for seafood Sunday- maybe... maybe...
The beef was all tender & juicy - cooked to a perfect med-rare. The hubs had the hanger steak & I opted for the lavash special- which was a BOGO - buy the Philly & get a seafood version free. Veggies were all fresh, no canned/frozen soggy stuff here, nice & crisp, plus house made soup... torttilla was the current offering. The seafood topping was impressive: 2 sizes of shrimp, scallops, crab & mussels
When we were checked in on, my response to "is everything tasting ok?" was simply "wow" with an "I know, right?" bounced back.
It's definitely worth a stop. It came to just under $100 for the 2 of us with drinks, app, dinner & a FULL spare meal for us to split for lunch today.

Ordered the seafood tortellini. Took nearly an hour to make. People that came in after me were getting their food. Server said my dish is still way behind and asked if I still wanted it. I said no thanks and asked for the bill. A few minutes later, the dish appeared. Not sure what that whole situation was about. The dish was delicious and a huge portion.

Really don't enjoy writing reviews of this nature. Unfortunately, we were there with a group. There isn't enough seating inside to accommodate groups and the seating outside is dark, windy and on that night rainy and cold. Not enough waitresses to even begin to keep up with the demand. But our waitress tried her best. All our food was seasoned the same. Which I believe they called it a Cajun blend. Steaks came out cold and not cooked properly. Probably because of not enough kitchen staff. My fish had a Parmesan crust which was very think and hard to cut thru and very salty. The fish underneath was very most and flaky. Felt sorry for the workers. They want to be upscale, but they have a way to go. Try this place out not on a weekend evening and it could be a while different, but better, service and vibe.

Great food and amazing service!!
Disappointing, drove 60 miles with the sole purpose of stopping here for dinner, we had stopped last summer and had a great experience. Not the case today. Multiple tables unoccupied. Bar rail also had many open spots. Turned away, we were told "We are full" Guess no room at the Inn...

My wife and I always drive by here but last night was the first time stopping in and I got to say we've been missing out, from the atmosphere to the food to the service. 100% 5 ?. I ordered the Pacific Burger ???
