    This is a great first stop coming into Saugatuck. Parking in the area is easy and you can walk all…read morethroughout the main strip starting from The Old Boat House. The bar has a good variety and you can rent the retro boats directly from here. They provide everything- buy drinks and snacks from them and they pack a cooler with ice to store them. They have Bluetooth radios to borrow if you need one. Following the water from Lake Michigan to the boat harbor takes the full 90 minutes of the baseline rental going at the top allowable speed. It is a great way to spend an afternoon and see the sights. If you are not looking for a rental- there is a great back patio to enjoy food and drink and take in the sights of boaters. There is lots of sun shade as well.

The staff prepare a cooler for you that you can fill w drinks and snacks purchased from their shop. They had a great selection of beer, wine, prosecco, sodas, juices etc. They also had ice cream. The staff was helpful in explaining how to work the boat and gave us a speaker for music. Our group had a blast! We went in the evening and stayed out until around sunset. The donut boat was easy to operate. You sit in a circle with a circle table in the middle. Everyone in our group had so much fun! The circle set up was great for talking, laughing and socializing! I would love to rent one of the adorable retro boats next time! This is a must do in Saugatuck!

    Went back again after friends mentioned coming here recently and we thought we'd give it another…read moretry. Glad we did! Went on a busy Friday night, and even though the parking lot and tables were full, they seated us quickly. We skipped the appetizers and ordered entrees and drinks. I had the grouper special and my hubby had the fried chicken. The grouper didn't come with any tartar sauce, but it needed a little extra sauce, still very good. Service was very good. We will be back

    Always a favorite spot and a sure thing for a good quality meal…read more Not sure if they have a new cook, if they're cheapening their ingredients or if their supplier is cheapening things. Meal was good but we're accustomed to greatness from this restaurant. New Orleans cavatappi pasta has always pushed the limits on spicy but today it fell short. Le sigh Generous portion of walleye as usual but the sauce just came up flat. Added table salt which helps but adds a layer of unrefined flavor teasing the mind and leaving us to wonder why do we have to salt our food today? Sweet potato comes with cinnamon brown sugar butter didn't let the server tell you it's just brown sugar butter. Featured soup was Hungarian mushroom. Not sure what makes it Hungarian and the server didn't know either. ‍ We liked our meal but we didn't LOVE it like we usually do. Perhaps it was just an off day. We'll try again. Please don't let this restaurant slide down past return. It's one of the few we know we can get a high quality meal out of.
