Seafood Restaurants near Elk Rapids

“This place is right off of 131, we visited in the off reason and mostly had the place to ourselves. The restaurant could use a deep cleaning (food splashes on the wall of the booth and artwork), the menu is a bit expensive ($20 for a burger) but overall our food was good. The salmon was slightly overcooked and the presentation could have been better, but it’s a great location with a nice ambiance.“

“This restaurant is very good. The service was excellent. Calamari appetizer was fairly good. My salmon entree with risotto was very good. The salmon had a nice glaze on it and a very tasty crumble which added flavor. My second trip had a delicious salmon chowder, bacon wrapped shrimp which had a great flavor to it, and a very tasty and tender short rib. My partner got prime rib dip and smoked chicken Gouda pasta and was very pleased. You won’t regret coming here. Only thing I’m not a fan of was the side salad (house or Caesar) - just a normal, simple plate of lettuce with a few toppings, but it is $9. Way too expensive.“
