I'll truly never forget this night.

Our waitress, Mary Ellen, was on the ball our entire meal, making sure the evening was fun. The food was wonderful, what you might expect from a fancy, cosmopolitan restaurant without the snobbiness! I had grouper with shrimp in a lobster sauce, my husband had Lemon chicken. Our friends shared a slab of ribs which proved to be too much for the two of them. A nice bonus, for like $5.00 extra, you can split an entree and each get two sides! Pretty good deal. Highly recommend.

I asked why would you not take the money opportunity, they asked would you like exceptional service or the money. I said both, there are bills to pay.

A piano player was providing live music in the bar, which was nice. At our reservation time. We were seated and Jim was our server. Jim took great care of us and was friendly. We both ordered the beer battered haddock fish fry and chose sweet potato fries. Our meals started with warm rolls and butter, which was a nice touch. The fish fries also included Cole slaw and baked beans. The fish was lightly battered and not greasy. The sweet potato fries were good, but overly seasoned with salt & something else. I didn't try the baked beans and found that an odd side. Of note, it was a warm day and from our table it didn't feel like their A/C was keeping up. The restroom felt a good 10 degrees cooler.

We only make it to the restaurant once a year, but Penny, the manager of the front of house, is incredibly friendly and warm, and the same can be said for the entire wait staff. If you are in a rush or do not enjoy taking your time or truly do not enjoy people you are dining with, then this may not be the place for you. This is a place to slow down and truly enjoy the experience. No matter where you sit, you are treated to a spectacular view of the waterfront with boats passing by and the occasional glimpse of Northwoods wildlife. On our visit we were even lucky enough to see an eagle perch up in a tree nearby, which made the evening even more memorable. The food is fantastic. I had the blackened prime rib and my wife had the Cancun seasoned walleye. I absolutely love Cajun blackened dishes, and this was some of the most delicious I have ever had. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. If you don't know what to order they have a great sampler! There are two musts when you go: order an Old Fashioned and make sure to try one. We are not from Wisconsin, but ordering one is part of the fun with all the different options available. And finally, you cannot leave without the tableside bananas fosters. Hands down, it is my favorite dessert I have ever had at any restaurant. Penny prepares it with an entertaining flair, even sharing the story of its origin, which makes the experience even better. I cannot get enough of this hidden gem in the Northwoods. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Cajun flavors and to those who appreciate a dining experience meant to be savored with your spouse or family. We will return every year without fail.

Lots of parking which might be really needed during the tourist season. Tonight's meal was so so. Was attracted to this place because it had a salad bar. Sadly a number of the offerings were gone, or almost gone. It needed attention! The special tonight was a Rib eye with a baked potato. The Rib Eye was cooked well and had decent seasoning, but the cut of meat was not very good. The cut quality was closer to what I'd expect at steak buffet than at a sit down restaurant. (Could very well have been just bad luck) but when you pay restaurant price for a nice steak you don't expect to get a bad one. It is still the "off" season, but this restaurant just seemed to be understaffed. I ate at the bar and the one bartender was working his but off. But waiting until he was done making drinks to get get butter for my potato (came without any) and salt and pepper got a but trying. Also getting an empty bottle of A1 Sauce was not impressive.

The decor is cozy and rustic, and the dining room acoustics made it so as it filled up it was hard to hear the person next to you. Our server Grace was a gem, buzzing between all the tables and providing great service with a friendly demeanor. We had the cajun alfredo penne pasta with grilled chicken and a house salad, and the 16 oz ribeye, medium rare, with beurre blanc sauce, a loaded baked potato and wild rice soup. The pasta was a hit, with the penne cooked al dente (which 85% of places can't seem to accomplish) but we did wish the cajun aspect was spicier. The steak was cooked medium rare and had nice seasoning, it just didn't seem to be that good of quality as it wasn't very tender. The real star was the soup. We heard a table raving about it before it got crowded and they were right, it was delectable.
