Nice place, good atmosphere. Food doesn’t live upto the expectation or the price. There are cheaper places with better tasting food on the island. Even though many tables were open wait time was long. Food wait was long and overall okay experience with food.

Good food and service. I liked their lake trout. Also, friendly server to my daughter and a nice kid's menu and highchair. They have a nice view of the lake. I would return.Parking: No problem in off season.Kid-friendliness: Friendly staff towards kids and nice menu.
Don’t bring a kid. They will be rude and make you leave.

We arrived on the island on a Monday evening and the Pub was the only restaurant open. When we arrived it was starting to get very busy. Unfortunately, our experience was not good. The service was very slow and then our food arrived it was a disappointment. My daughter ordered chicken tenders and they were soggy and inedible. One of us ordered the crab special and the crab was overcooked. The only thing our table enjoyed was the house mashed potatoes. I would recommend trying out some other places on the island.

The bartender here was awful and very rude. We left due to her terrible non-service.

Bartender was confrontational and aggressive!Ordered 2 Bloodys - asked for pickle juice, he said it’s on there and he makes them just like at Muddy Waters (out of business) in Minneapolis-I live in the twin cities…. Said “I bet you’re glad you’re up here instead of there”…. (Minneapolis police officer shot last night) ….Instantly TRIGGERED! went off on us and we walked out - never going back - came up here to get away from that stuff.When we said - hey man idle down - we’re just having a conversation, is this really how you treat your customers?Bartender responds “customers?…. This is a bar, not a Walgreens!” We walked out

The food and drinks were quite good. I had the trout de mare and it was fabulous. Felt much higher end than I was expecting. Service was a bit slow but I believe they are short staffed. The patio provides no shade for dinner as their umbrellas are too high but the view is incredible so it’s worth it. GF options are clearly labeled.Dietary restrictions: Gf options clearly labeled.

The fish chowder was tasty, the chipotle portobello sandwich was interesting (but not a "repeater"), the Old Fashioned cocktail was "okay," but the two versions of Margaritas we tried were both disappointing.
The food that I had tried was good! The chicken pizza was great! Definitely recommend the Brussel sprouts as well. The trout with the crab on top was Devine. The trout with the rice Pilaf was okay…. It Seemed a bit over cooked/dry compared to the trout I had enjoyed the night before. The orange cream martini was delicious. However, there was another cocktail at our table that was pink with lemonade and it was excessively too sweet.The brownie Sunday with ice cream was wonderful as well!The vibe was beautiful as the restaurant is right on the water!The service left a bit to be desired. We had to go up and try to find our server in order to get to go boxes and also to get the check. Outside the service was a bit weird… we had to go up to a stand and order our drinks and food and pay as we ordered. That wasn’t explained to us so we ended up sitting at the table for a bit longer than we had wanted to but overall it was a good experience and I would recommend checking the place out!

My wife and I had been camping on the island for a couple days and wanted to get a nice dinner before we left. We arrived early and had drinks on the patio while waiting for dinner service to start at 5:00. After being seated inside, no server checked in on us, not even offered water. Plenty of staff on hand. After 25 minutes of waiting, we walked out and ate at Beach Club - where the food and service was excellent.

Horrible service. Server was not at all accommodating. Very disappointing. The atmosphere and food doesn’t not compensate or the lack of quality service.
