We prefer bar service over dining service, seem to be generally more attentive and the two staff work as a team. Brandon is waiting on us. He's friendly and good at customer service. Ordered the whitefish dip, baba Ghanouj, superior whitefish tater tots, tabouli salad, superior whitefish chowder, superior whitefish tacos with black pepper fries and a spicy crispy chicken sandwich and cabbage slaw. $111 They do charge a 4% transparency fund: employee retention, living wages, staff happiness. Written on the bottom of your bill. The dishes are scratch made, in house. Nice! The tabouli is too, has some mixed greens in it. There is something sweet in the dressing or the buckwheat, not my thing at all. Rest of the salad is good though. The baba ghanouj on its own is quite garlicky, slight Smokey flavor to it. It doesn't work with the pita crackers. Not loving this at all. The whitish dip is good. My hubby liked the sweet pickled for watermelon rind garnish, I didn't like them much. The spicy chicken sandwich on the brioche bun is really good. The chicken is super crispy. It's quite good. The whitish tacos are good. The whitefish seems to be blackened, really nicely. The fish is light and perfectly cooked. The whitefish chowder is so good! The tater tots are so delicious. No slouch here. Crunchy and so yummy! Food was so unique and quiet food. The side pepper fries are and slaw ate both a bit blah, compared to the majority of our flavorful meals Service is top notch.

As we were waiting in line a bartender walked past and mentioned a free table with seat yourself FCFS in the tap room. We snagged the table and were greeted immediately. The table was decorated with some cute hand drawn coasters. Ordered a couple beverages and appetizers as well as mains. The food was all delicious and service was great. We ordered a carrot cake cupcake to share for dessert. This was our least favorite part of the experience, but my partner's only complaint was the surprise golden raisins. He's not a huge fan of "pieces" in his cake. I loved the frosting, although it wasn't traditional cream cheese frosting. It was decadent and rich. 8/10.

We're from out of town, so who knew. They have outside seating which is a plus. Drinks came quickly. Nice beer menu! We ordered the fish and chips and corned beef with cabbage. The fish was hot, crispy, nicely breaded and excellent. Fries were average. The corned beef was served with grilled cabbage, carrots and mashed potatoes. The beef was tender and flavorful. The carrots just done and sweet. The potatoes are the worst mashed potatoes we've experienced in our lifetime. Dry, tasteless and I'm assuming made without the addition of butter, cream, salt or pepper. Sorry, this resulted in a star loss. They really were inedible. Our waitress was inattentive. Once the meal was served she kinda forgot about us. We had to wave her down for the check.

The…read moremajor issue we had with this establishment was the transparency fund fee that was added to our bill. We saw no mention anywhere that an additional 4% transparency fund fee would be added to our bill, which in hindsight, I should have demanded it be removed. Needless to say, we will not frequent this place again. PS... shame on those who don't question an added fee on their final bill. It only makes the owners feel they can get away with it. Their use of the term 'transparency fund' is an oxymoron, because you don't see it coming. In a response to another review I left, the owner claims there are notices posted in multiple places, however, we never saw any of them. Besides, how many people search for notices of hidden fees when going out for a relaxing, late lunch? Shame on the owners for squeezing every penny they can get out of their customers. We almost deducted the fee from our servers tip, but recognized that would not have been fair to him. By the way, Sean, our server, is an asset to this business.

We walked in and the restaurant staff cheerfully greeted us. My daughter and grandson said we'd like to order to go. The inside was rustic and nicely decorated. There is outside seating in the back that looked pleasant with beautiful plants. The bar area was welcoming and the dining room area was beautiful and clean. The bathroom was clean and quaint. After my daughter explained to the young man behind the counter what we're looking for, he went into the kitchen and came out with ribs samples... wow, we didn't expect that. He said that his father owned the restaurant and their ribs won in a competition for best ribs in Michigan some years ago. Needless to say it was absolutely delicious! The sauces were so delicious and the ribs smoky and tender. We got the ribs, pulled pork and sausage, with Smoky Mac and Cheese, and vegetables. I would certainly love to eat here the next time we're here.
