Incredible food! The sweet potato poppers were super amazing. The service was fantastic. We happened to catch some live music, but it at a good volume and wasn't intrusive. Highly recommend.

Pros: beautiful location, lovely atmosphere/ambiance, clean and well maintained. The owner(s) clearly invest in the establishment.
Cons: food quality/flavor is wildly inconsistent. Party of seven last evening (8/23/25): those who ordered pasta dishes were reasonably pleased, although the prices of these dishes were too high. This isn’t fine dining- a plate of riggies can be made for $6-7 depending on ingredients used. Charging $25- especially with Utica (and it’s far superior offerings) being just 45 mins down the road was pretty shocking. One party member ordered a Reuben and he was pleased, although the garlic Parmesan fries were disgustingly over seasoned. The two member of the party who ordered fish and chips were MASSIVELY disappointed. The fish was clearly fried and frozen at the factory where it was produced. We’re talking bottom-shelf, Walmart quality, frozen fish. Advertised as “battered cod”. Yeah…no. This was twice or thrice fried minced pollock. Terrible. The accompanying french fries were similarly atrocious. Twice fried to reheat what may have been a palatable offering two hours earlier (we arrived at 740pm and were finally seated at pushing 830). We got the scraps- clearly. Aside from that- the experience was ok. The waitress was pleasant but lacked any sort of human personality. She also left for the day prior to the conclusion of our visit- apparently a family matter. That was totally understandable. What was absolutely NOT understandable was that she did not- even once- inquire about our feelings about the food. That was a huge red flag.
Bottom line: cute place. Beautiful bar. Come here to get cocked and nibble on the offerings- don’t arrive sober and remain sober and expect to be wowed.

Love coming here for my Father’s Day week camp trip. Fair warning when you order an extra cheese pizza it’s definitely extra cheese!
Good food at a reasonable price
The socially pizzas were ordered were exceptional! The crust was thin but crisp, the toppings cooked perfectly. If we lived in the area I'd be a regular customer. Also, a great selection of beers on tap.
Perfect local pub. Great food and service. Well run.
Been coming here for overr 30 years multiple times a week during snowmobile season love the pizza etc
Stopped for lunch while scouting the area's snowmobile trails. Enjoyed a great lunch of Spy Lake pizza and salad. Highly recommend.
