I would highly recommend Passport for many reasons!…read more The staff have been incredibly hospitable, and friendly. The food is so delicious, I love how the menu changes monthly. I will always have a reason to come back and try something new. I use to be married to a Nigerian man and really have been craving the food! The Suya is spot on! And I love how the Suya and Jollof rice actually had the heat! Nigerian food can be very spicy and Passport made it happen. The meat pie has a lot of good flavor and less heat (spice). The meat pie dough is different but very delicious. It reminded me more of a buttery croissant! Janel and Tatianna were my servers! They really made me feel like I was VIP! Janel even was willing to have small talk with me and gave me a warm hug goodbye. I also had the please to meet the owner and have a chat with him! He was so fun to talk with and learn about his upcoming visions. Keep rocking it crew! I'm hooked!

Service was pretty rough from the start. Our server was friendly, but they spilled our drinks at the table and then had to take them back because they'd been made with bad milk. It took forever to get the first round and even longer to get the second. You'd think they'd move faster getting us the second round given the first was spilled and made with bad milk! Definitely a missed opportunity to make up for the poor overall service. The bread was the highlight of the night, which is very telling given it was standard crostini bread. That said, it was warm, fresh, and served with delicious butter. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal didn't live up to that start. The food took far, far, far too long to come out and when it finally did, it didn't all arrive together. Half the table started eating while the other half just sat and watched and continued to wait for their food to come. I thought they brought it out separately to serve things hot, but the food that was first brought out was only lukewarm. I got the steak sandwich, which was fine but pretty bland. Even the sauce couldn't save it... The fries were well-seasoned but soft and floppy, which just made them feel sad and unappealing. I had an espresso martini with dinner and it was basically a chocolate drink with no real espresso flavor. Overall, the setting was fine, but slow service, uneven timing, and subpar food made this a disappointing experience.

My husband and I are very happy with our choice to go with Party Time Rentals for our wedding day!…read moreOur wedding took place at our family cabin and we rented a tent, tables, chairs, linens, chargers, bistro lighting, just to name a few! Party time was professional, came and set up the tent and delivered everything two days prior to the event so we had time to organize and decorate!! They did an amazing job communicating, were on time for pick up and drop off, and answered any questions or concerns we had! The company was a dream to work with they were friendly, and I can't recommend them enough! We would hire them again!

Our wedding location had never hosted a wedding before, so having Brad and Lori to work with put us at ease. Everything turned out great, actually perfect! Upon set up we realized our sweetheart table was a little smaller than we anticipated, both Lori and Brad were quick to remediate. I highly recommend Party Time if you are planning a wedding or another event in the area.

Unfortunately the charcuterie options are fairly limited, and the cocktails can come without listed garnishes and ingredients without warning. Would come again for wine, would seek out elsewhere for cocktails and charcuterie.

What a lovely new business!! We heard this place opened from a family member and had to try it out…read more There is a machine that dispenses wine, operated by a chip card, which charges you based on how many ounces you drink. It's such a nice business model that allows for sampling without waiting for a server each time you want something new. The charcuterie was the best we've had anywhere in town. Everything from Marconi almonds to spicy jam to olive tapenade to a wide variety of cheeses and meats. The goat cheese was to die for. Right now they have (I believe) 8-10 wines in the case to sample. It appears there is room for more as they grow. I sincerely hope this business sees a ton of success as we plan to visit on every trip to the cabin!

Second time hopping on Gull Lake Cruises. Perfectly managed,…read morewe were told when to check in, board, and what to expect. The ride was 2 hours, beginning to end.

Did not like to give them business but had no options. The blond lady sure felt put out when I was asking for fishing spots to take my boys on Gull Lake. Leeches were in good shape.

Hope the guides have a better demeanor than the lady did! It would be a heck of a long day on the water !!!

It was nice having a couch and chairs that I could relax on rather than just having to sit on the bed. The odd thing to me, however, was that there's no closet and no great place to put your luggage. I think even a freestanding luggage rack would go a long way. They did have someplace to hang your clothes, but I do prefer an enclosed closet to cut down a clutter. I ended up putting my suitcase on a table. The breakfast selection was good. Very similar to other hotels like it. My biggest disappointment is that the associated restaurant is no longer open. It would be nice to wind down the evening with a glass of wine and a snack, but you can't have everything.
