My wife & I stayed at the Hilton where this restaurant is located. As far as hotel restaurants go,…read morethis place was great! The bartender/waitress (she did everything), was such an awesome person! She was a great bartender, who created several drinks on their menu that my wife loved, and just as great a waitress providing on-point service and recommendations on what to order from the menu. Despite taking care of all of the drinks and food orders for all of the patrons, she provided great service! Above and beyond that, her personality was so friendly and welcoming. You felt like asking her to join you for your meal! I ordered their house 'drift' burger but added bacon and cheddar (which I think helped the flavor a lot), but it came with a very tasty chipotle aioli (when combined with the cheese and bacon, gave a great flavor profile). It comes with a bag of chips but I upgraded to fries (they are shoestring-style). My wife ordered the blackened fish tacos that had corn, mango, and a blackened haddock; all contained in a crispy shell. She said it was the best thing she ate our 10-day trip of the mid-west! (I was shocked because we had some pretty awesome lunches and dinners - maybe it was the awesome mixed drinks that we're talking ;) All of our food is pictured. To wrap things up we had a cupcake flight for dessert. They were just 'ok' in my opinion. A bit dry and the flavors were not my taste (but that may just be my preference). I liked the coffee and chocolate/peanut butter the best, but even they weren't anything to write home about. The glass of milk helped a lot. Also, of note, if it's not busy inside you can bring your pup with you to eat, and if it is busy, you can eat outside with your pup. We thought that was nice because we always travel with our dog. The bartender/waitress who served us loves dogs and was happy to see him (although we didn't bring him until after dinner) and provided a bowl of water. Overall, we had a great dining experience to head back home with! Definitely recommend eating here if you stay at the Hilton it is connected to or if you just want to eat/have a drink.

The open airy seating space, beautifully decorated for the holiday, was inviting and quiet. Perfect for conversation. The staff were very friendly and attentive. (Shoutout to Sherry!) The lunch menu features several sandwich options as well as salads. We chose the fish sandwich which was tender and moist served on a toasted brioche bun. The beer batter coating was light and flaky, melt in your mouth delicious. We will definitely be back!

Website does not make it clear! I want to preface, I had frequented the Spa restaurant in the 1970-1990's. The ambiance and history of the place made it so charming, along w the raccoon show! I am thrilled someone is keeping the speakeasy alive! So many wonderful memories!! With that said, I don't live " down the street" so to speak. We come out on Sunday's to hike the nearby trails or use the beaches. With the area now designated as a National Lakeshore, it would be to this establishments benefit to open from 11 am /12pm on Saturday & Sunday! If I knew they would be open, I'd love to stop in after spending time at the National Park! You're losing business to Wagner's!
