Rachel was a great server! Had mussels for the first time and they were delicious! Also had the jumbo shrimp! Then the four of us ordered the Caesar salad with chicken, the Parmesan whitefish, the lobster roll and ribs! Everything was excellent!

Great experience. Was here last weekend, beautiful night outside in the heart of Elk Rapids. Staff could not have been nicer, had a delicious burger. The bar had multiple TVs with the NBA & PGA on. Buffalo Cauliflower was a huge hit!!

We had a party of 12 with Logan as a server. The service, tentativeness, quality of food and cleanliness was beyond amazing. Logan was very personable, took time to tell us about the drink menu, food menu and gave great recommendations. The crab dip, salmon tacos and chicken quinoa bowl were delicious. The drinks, appetizers and entrees also came out in a timely manner. Will definitely be back.

So, we had some trepidation after reading newer reviews, but attended anyway. However, we were delighted by our visit. - service was nicely paced and courteous. They were attentive to refills and didn't hover. We weren't rushed through any part of the experience - the atmosphere was really pleasant. We ate outside and found the experience to be lovely and cool - live music was on and he wasn't too loud - he added to the experience overall - there were 0 food mix ups Food-wise: We ordered lobster rolls, ribs, filet mignon, fish and chips, and a burger. They were all delicious, and we would absolutely get them again. We also had the pulled pork nachos and the Buffalo dip - again, delicious. We did not experience any of the sub-par food moments that the other reviews mentioned, and didn't see anyone else experience returned food either. Overall, we're looking forward to an opportunity to return.

We met friends and sat on the patio. I had the brussel sprout salad chips and guacamole. My friend had the chicken salad and fish. Everything was wonderful.

Beautiful, large, clean place right off off 31 and surrounded by water. Bar tender was very friendly. A little bit pricey, smaller menu but the food was fantastic. Server recommend the Walleye and it did not disappoint, the steak burger was also very good.

With so many negative reviews, we wanted to share the excellent experience we had on Sept 13, 2024. Our server was quite attentive, as she was with all her tables outside. The portions, as you can see, were so large we took half of it home. These are the Roasted Brussell Sprout Salads, with roasted brussell sprouts, smoked bacon, candied walnuts, dried cherries, Gorgonzola, red onion, and honey Balsamic, one with chicken, the other salmon. These were exceptional. We'll definitely be visiting again.

Wonderful place wonderful food Definitely on the pricer side, however. Do yourself and your tastebuds the favor and get the cherry cheesecake. It's worth the price. I've personally never had a better cheesecake in my life. Pictured: smoked brisket and shrimp Also pictured: Pecan walleye
