Beautiful ice cream parlor with country club prices. Malt for $7.50 only filled half the cup, but was quite tasty. Only one staff working on a summer weekend. Decor and nostalgia makes this place a cool unique spot to visit and relax in the Northwoods. The ice cream is excellent with over 10 flavors to choose from plus toppings. Would definitely be back again (but would only order ice cream or coffee).

What an incredible stay! Booked 2 days and had to add another. Very relaxing and comfy! The Blackened Salmon with hollandaise, the garlic mashed and the veggies we off the charts! Ice Cream Parlor with charm featured Barking Pretzel which was amazing! The chef even created the a work of art as we split the meal! Ah yeah can't forget a nice round of golf, walks and a dip in the pool! Need to unplug? This would be a great choice!

The problem is that they are under staffed. I'm not sure you can fault those who are here and are working. I'm not even sure you can fault management if they are trying and can't find folks to hire. The bottom line is this needs to be corrected. The restaurant itself is lovely . There is a porch with a beautiful view and inside dining with a fireplace. The people who are working are doing their best to provide good service, but they are stressed and you can tell it.The menu is nice. The food is fine, but not exceptional. You get the sense that people are being stretched. We had appetizers: duck wontons, crab cake and dumplings. The dumplings were terrific. The crab cake was huge. The duck wontons were light on the duck. It's hard to recommend this place and yet the potential is there..

We got a special coupon for a great price at this wonderful, old but renovated resort in northern Wisconsin and arrived in the afternoon. After settling in and looking around, we had an early dinner in the Diamond Room. As it happens, we were the only ones in the restaurant and had a wonderful dining experience served by wonderful Tiffany, by the fireplace. We had delicious Wisconsin Old Fashioned cocktails and a wonderful sourdough bread followed by wonderful fresh salads and then huge steaks, cooked to perfection and served with garlic potatoes. It was quite romantic as the view was of the island itself, surrounded by the Menominee River. Due to our November 1st visit, we are between seasons and we ended up being alone in the hotel, or so it seemed. It could not have been more wonderful.

We came to eat on a Monday night and were hoping to eat in the Diamond room, but we couldnt find anyone to seat us. Not a soul....so we went down to the bar and ate after again, a long wait for someone to arrive. The food down there was good. We decided to go up for some ice cream at the parlor, but alas, no one there to help us. When we finally got someone they said the manager was not there and so they couldnt open the parlor up. We decided to grab some dessert in the Diamond room now that we saw a waitress there. She seated us and took our order. Coffee was lukewarm and old, which she made a fresh pot after we told her. Lava cake was bland at best. Charming atmosphere and beautiful facility, but lacking in customer service and consistency. Not sure if we'll try it again.

We travel to the UP to our cabin from a western suburb of Milwaukee ,multiple times throughout the year and were very pleased that the resort had opened again. We enjoy the beautiful sports bar with pool table, and have eaten there and always enjoyed the food. We were there Monday and ate in the dining room, and were both pleased and disappointed. The soup was excellent, salad was good, and the meals we had were very good. The potatoes though were barely warm along with the broccoli, but main entre very good. We were surprised that we did not get any dinner bread or relish tray with the meal though. We thought the prices in the fine dining room were reasonable But we’re shocked that there was only one other table eating around the 6:00 hour. The sunroom we ate in was musty smelling....hopefully they can remedy this. The grounds are amazing and we really LOVE the place! I hope the new owners can make it work. We WILL return to this place.

We stopped by Lillie's after we had lunch in the nearby Plaza Room. It is a very cute retro ice cream/soda shop serving cones, sundaes, brownies and the like. We had single vanilla ice cream cake cone (3.50) and a double chocolate/lemon bar ice cream waffle cone (5.00). There is both inside and outside closed porch seating. There is a pinball room nearby if the kids want more to do inside. A nice stop if you are on a scenic north woods drive, or as a destination in itself!
