Amazing! Great bar and restaurant. Location is prime, love all the room and outside portion. Excited to come during the summer. The decor and open lighting is just brilliant! Great spot for a party, date, or get together.Service is excellent, staff works great together. Drinks are delicious, they have creative cocktails and a wide variety of beer to choose from!My absolute favorite thing was the oyster shooter! Try it! I’d get it as a cocktail if I could!

On March 23, 2024 went here for appetizer's and drinks. Out of 9 of us that went, the 6 that drank the tap water that was brought to the table got violently ill including my 4 year old. Only 3 people didn’t drink the water and they never got sick. We ALL shared appetizer's so it wasn’t from the food. Beware of the water and I did call the health department.

Breakfast for four of us was great. I had the biscuits Benedict which were awesome. The waffle and chicken was great too.

Alex our server was great ! He was so patient with us. We came to chat, eat and catch up with our mom. And to celebrate our birthdays too. We stayed and chatted for 2 hours and were so happy that he didn't seem to mind!

I've visited the Goblin and Grocer on several occasions but this time I was in town again from the bay area to visit my Dad in Chesterton and we decided to do a special Valentine's Day dinner as father/daughter. I lost my mom a few years ago and recently ended a year long relationship so this is what we just needed! This place ALWAYS blows me away, however last night was JUST so memorable. Atmosphere, ambience, service, menu, food all so perfect! The owner is always AMAZING and knows her STUFF! Our server was so GREAT too but couldn't recall her name. So if you ever are coming from out of town or even a local who has never visited this establishment, please do. You won't be disappointed!

With our reservation, we were seated immediately on Valentine's Day so I was quite happy. The drinks were delicious and we got the bread board appetizer and it was so good. We considered getting a second! I got the chicken schnitzel which was absolutely incredible and my partner got the chicken pot pie was while tasty, was rather thin. We shared a cupcake in the end which was also delicious. All in all a perfect date night spot!

First, great staff and servers. Sat at the bar and the bartenders were friendly, helpful and really good at their jobs. 5 stars!The atmosphere is ok. We went earlier in the evening (Saturday 5pm) for dinner and were hard right away. It was kind of quiet but it really started to fill up at about 6pm, so keep that in mind when timing your visit.The food was - well, it wasn't boring. The menu is interesting. A lot of seafood. I'm wary of seafood so far from an ocean myself...There are no sides, just one-plate meals. The appetizers were not very interesting to us, so we skipped them. The Mac and cheese appetizer would have been good but it was $25 for some reason so we skipped that too.There were some soups, basic salads, and pastas, as well as pot pies and one was vegetarian! I assume these are seasonal. But I was excited as I prefer vegetarian meals. So I ordered that mushroom pot pie and my partner ordered the regular pot pie. When they arrived, the regular pie looked beautiful. Golden flaky crust, steaming. The mushroom crust was - unappetizing. It looked flat and uncooked. Turns out, it's not only vegetarian but also gluten free. Which is in me for not noticing. Overall the GF crust wasn't terrible but it wasn't great to eat or look at next to that beautiful regular crust. So, one ding for really bad presentation there, and the next ding is the filling. While the veg and mushrooms were cooked well and seemed very fresh, the gravy was thin and soupy in both pies. The strangest part was the I empowering flavor of something almost acidic. Lemon? Vinegar? A sour tangy taste took over the whole filling in both pies. No one could identify it. It was very unexpected and pretty off-putting to get that zingy flavor in a pot pie...The atmosphere was a little weird. Sort of like it was trying to be upscale and hipstery, but its still in Beverly Shores... When I walked in a little scruffy after a few hours hiking the dunes, I definitely felt out of place in hiking boots and flannels. I thought this place was more for the campers down the road, but I guess it's for Chicago people who don't really want to leave Chicago... One good thing though, it's NOT full of TVs! The bar has like 1 TV and that was wonderful.Overall, this place is fine - if you don't want to drive any farther to get a more substantial meal. If you prefer your pot pies with more of a familiar traditional flavor profile, or if you want a full dinner with variety after a long day, head down the road to Michigan City and see the options there

My husband and I had a great date night! We both had the clam chowder and the Chicken Piccata. Both were excellent. When choosing our wine, our waitress was so helpful. She let us try one and gave us a great suggestion.
Wonderful place, but not what I expected due to the name.The service was understandably slow due to the crowd. But the server was very nice and communicable about everything.Would come here again for what it is.

Justin was a great bartender! Really enjoyed his company and he made me a mean Shirley temple, extra cherries. This place has an awesome vibe, and good decor. We didn’t try the food but the menu looked enticing.

Eclectic Beverly Shores spot with high ceilings and outdoor patio space. Expansive regular and brunch menus with Excellent Food and Bar Service and liquor selections. ?Parking: Small parking area. Can be challenging at times.
Hubs and I wanted to try something new for our anniversary dinner & heard this place was good. Our server was super sweet and helped us decide on which was best to try. We had ahi tuna sliders for appetizers, honey soy salmon for me & hubs got hähnchen schnitzel. It was all so delicious. I also had the black walnut old fashioned, exceptional taste! The mood setting was just right and we definitely will be back!
