The Beacon Restaurant & Bar

I only gave this one star because that’s how reviews work in order to post anything. This place had a fire in January so they’re not even open. It’s actually part of the hotel so you won’t be getting any kind of continental breakfast or food at this hotel either. It’s disappointing to say the least.

If you happen to stay at this hotel, be sure to get a harbor view room and not a street view room or you won’t get any sleep because of the traffic.

The website says that they are open for breakfast until 10:30 but the last TWO times we were there before 10am and they turned us away!!
But no more "Portholes" otherwise okay.

Excellent breakfast!

I stayed at the hotel part in the past. I had the BEST omelette I have ever had on the first morning that I ate there. This was a breakfast that was so good that I had a dream about it. The last weekend i was there and it was like I was at a totally different restaurant. The omelette was horrible. The staff that day was not cooperative at all. They acted like they didnt know what I was talking about. This morning 7/27/2024 I called the restaurant before going to try to get to the bottom of this. They said the normal Chef is not there on the weekends. The 2 cooks that were there on the weekend will maybe make the omelette in the oven instead of a frying pan. I said it needed to be made in the pan. When I arrive the servers were wonderful and went to speak to them and they refused to make the omelette in the pan. So I had to order a deconstructed thing which was made in the FRYING PAN. I am just so disappointed with the servers that did not notice the difference or the cooks that did not care about the inconstancy in the food. This is a restaurant. The whole point is making good food. When you pay $40 for breakfast you expect to get a good product. I am saddened as a home cook to see that the restaurant doesn't care about the constancy of the food and putting out a great product.

I have been going to this hotel for years. But, as they have changed from a chain to a boutique hotel their service, food and management from what i have seen has just gone down and down. This last weekend the way I saw them with their employees and their over priced menu and mediocre food, I don’t think I will visit them any more.

The food was exceptional. Our server hannah was not friendly and did not do her job at all the busser did it for her. i tipped her $0 yet i checked my bank account and hannah put $5 tip for me. because i bought pancakes and the skillet that has mushrooms. this service sucked to the max because the server never filled my water never gave me tabasco sauce when i asked her had to ask someone else. this was such an upsetting experiece that i probably wont come back. the busser did an exceptional job so i tipped him instead.

This was our first visit to The Beacon and it did not disappoint. The food was very good and the view overlooking Lake Michigan was beautiful.
