“We had a late dinner here a few weeks ago and I am still thinking about the pork belly fettuccine gochujang dish. It was spicy and sweet and the pork belly was so, so good. The food is exciting and thoughtful. Romantic but unpretentious and caring service. The pricing was so reasonable for the quality and the intention put into the food. The check-in process and wait wasn't an issue at all - we were able to check in to our inn in-between and have a drink beforehand! If you are lucky enough to be on a beautiful vacation and waiting for a good meal with a drink or a view - life can't be that bad.”

“A little piece of popcorn heaven on Washington island. So many flavors and options that it’s quite addicting! I can’t tell you how many flavors we had. I think it’s been about 10 now? Our favorites are the kettle corn, garlic parm, door county cherry, Oreo, island mix and…. White cheddar. I am sure there are more as well.”

“Our first visit was awesome! Great service and ambiance! Great wine selection and plenty of beer. The general tso's is very very good, and has great spice! The short rib meal was incredible! Definitely check it out!!”

“We stopped for lunch today based the Destination Door County guide and online reviews. The bread looked fresh and delicious. The menu of food items is small and I can be pretty selective with my tastes, but we all loved our food. The smoked salmon bagel was amazing - perfect combination of flavors with fresh tomato, cucumbers, and dill. The blueberry bagel with lemon curd was delicious as well. Their cream cheese and bagels were some of the best I’ve ever had. Cultured is tucked away off the main roads, but definitely worth visiting.”

“Great food, great staff! We enjoyed the fish boil experience.”

“We came in on Saturday- BEST BBQ we have had! Super tender ribs and sides were tasty. Great service and atmosphere! We can’t wait to go back!”

“I've been there a few times, everything has been wonderful. Turkey sandwich was delicious, and the "adult" grilled cheese was amazing. I was a bit skeptical about the fig jam, but wow, it was great. Also, the music playlist that is in the background just happened to hit one favorite after another. Go there. Everyone's super welcoming and the service is efficient but not hovering.”

“Food was great and worth the wait. Wish I had know they have their own app and a carryout cook separate from the dine-in line. On busy holiday weekends, I would recommend checking the line vs the estimated order time on app and going with the shortest.

They are NOT cash only, and they do not have an atm. That information is years out of date.”

“Great atmosphere - the staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.”

“Goose and Twigs is a place of excellence & a model of how a business can be run. Gustav is kind and welcoming and cares about his guests. G&T is clean, pretty, and the location is perfect! Book today!”

“Loved this place when we were in DCWI. Sip had great morning coffee selections (their house coffee is Wonderstate!!!) and I got to try something different each morning. Enjoyed several meals here during our stay as they are one of the few restaurants in Ephraim with true gluten free selections which was so appreciated. The variety of games at the tables was a nice touch!”

“The pizza is totally legit. It is totally awesome, authentic Detroit-style pizza (slightly-charred, buttery crust) that includes an awesome Chicago-style topping (fresh tomato)...best of both worlds! Loved the selection of craft beers (in cans), including some N/A choices. Nicely done! Special shout out to Ryan who efficiently ran the entire front room the night we were there. Finally, the price. No, seriously, it is impossible to find better pizza at a better price...anywhere. SO glad we found you, Bad Moravian. We'll be back!”

“Fun place. Great to side outside and watch the goats on the roof!”
