Not single diner friendly... was told there would be a thirty -40 minute wait and would be better at the bar, yet the groups after me (with no reservations) were seated in less than 10. Food was ok. Steak was good but the lobster pieces were very tough. Salad bar was much more limited than I had expected. Service at the bar was SLOW.... with several obnoxious regulars it would seem.

The salad bar was okay, as salad bars go, and it was well stocked. The baked, lemon butter whitefish was good, and we had a friendly server.

Salad bar was ok, but could use more variety. Walleye sandwich was very tasty.

3-6-24 - What an AWESOME experience we had tonight at one of our old favorites! We haven’t been here for several months, but we were happily surprised that the whole place looks like a brand new neighborhood restaurant! They have spent considerable time and money remodeling the whole place! ?And the food was as exceptional as it normally was!Kris ordered their ENDLESS shrimp dinner that she gave it an 8/10 and their salad bar was a 10/10 as usual.Strange as it may seem, I have never had their boneless wings before, but I had them tonight. I ordered the buffalo lemon rub with ranch dressing. Fantastic! 9/10

We went on a Friday at dinner time, so we expected a crowd. Kyla, the hostess, handled things like a pro and was awesome! The wait was worth it. The food was great as was the service. We will be back.

They have remodeled since our last visit and it looks much nicer inside. The wait was friendly and paid us the right amount of attention. I had the fried fish with tots and salad bar. A good macaroni salad, very good blue cheese dressing and a good slaw. The batter on the fish was perfect in color, the fish was done nice and flakey, but there was a very slight scorched flavor. The tots did not have that flavor though. My wife had the parmesan encrusted fish and she said it was quite good. All in all it was a pleasant experience and we will probably come back

The fish was delicious and you got a trip to the salad and soup bar. my husband ordered the fries and they were very good and I ordered the tots and they were nice and crispy. I ordered a margarita. It was kind of small, but it was only seven dollars and it was delicious. The prices were. not really expensive, but not cheap. Kinda of in the middle but worth it to us. The waitress was very friendly and seemed happy to be there but you don't see that all the time.

I really wanted to like it, but it was ok at best. 2 for 1 tap beers on Mondays are a nice touch.

If you are a regular you are treated warmly I was not. I stopped by for lunch because it was recommend by a Mayo employee. What a disappointment. The food was mediocre and do was the staff. The prices are comparable with other restaurants. I would not

I attempted to make reservations for a celebration dinner on the website but the link would not work. I called the phone number listed and was given an automated voice that said they would send me a link to make my reservations and it hung up on me. I never got a message. I called and finally got a hold of someone and was informed you can only make reservations for parties or 5 or more people? It is over an hour drive to this restaurant, yet I am are unable to make a reservation to secure a table? I hope one day to be able to visit as I have heard good things about this place, however the customer service needs to be worked on.
