Pains me to give less than 4 stars to any business but the experience was just okay…read more General info: parking is plentiful unless they are busy. It's one way for driving in so you'll have to U turn if it's full. They do not take reservations. You can check in at the host stand and they will take your #. They ask that you wait downstairs on the lower level where there is a bar window and plenty of seats/tables and a nice view of the lake. Food we tried: - homemade clam chowder tasted great, interesting mix between a traditional New England and manhattan chowder. Not creamy, more brothy but not red. Overall good flavor and amount of clams. - perch dinner: Fine, but for the price, you can get better elsewhere in town - Mussels: broth was delicious, the amount they give you is quite generous (nearly 20 on mine!). That being said, to improve, they should be careful not give you unopened mussels on your plate. I had 3. Ambiance: - I would say it's worth it to sit outside if you can. The way the sun shines in the evening, the back is quite shaded and it's not as loud - we were seated inside near their big window and due to the way the sun hits their upper skylights, it was blinding for half our table. It was extremely unpleasant though we didn't get the full extent of it until we were seated and ordered. When we asked about changing the tables, the staff just said sorry, no can do, and asked just to rearrange ourselves awkwardly around half the table to 2 people per side. Very disappointed with this "solution". - its very loud inside - they have high top tables which looked proportional to their chairs. The lower tables are actually quite tall and are paired with normal chairs so it's a very awkward fit Families: they do have high chairs, boosters, and a kids menu that is not posted online. Due to height of low tables that are actually tall, the high chair does not reach. Overall, if you need a sit down restaurant to eat fish and chips/seafood or to accommodate a group and you're willing to come early since there are no reservations, this would fit the bill. But there's definitely room for improvement.

Nice sized bar area and huge outdoor patio where you are welcome to wait. Bartender made us feel welcome even though we didn't need drinks while waiting. Excellent views on the beautiful patio! Live music. Excellent server! NA options...4 beers plus mocktails. Huge variety on the menu and well priced. All of that said...the food is what you come to a restaurant for, right?? 3 stars for food... We ordered cheese curds and asked if regular or spicy were better. Were told we could do half and half. Great to have that option. The regular ones were excellent. Spicy were terrible. Gyro was a small serving size and flavorless. Nice amount of feta and other toppings, very little lamb meat. Tuna was good, not great. Prob 3.5 stars All in all, food doesn't have to be perfect to be good and you can truly enjoy going out if the food is "just" good. Will definitely go back and try other menu options. Since there's a great variety we'd likely find something excellent.

They weren't actually that mushy and the crispy bits had a nice crunch. Link sausage was dry, without much flavor--bacon would probably be a better choice. Coffee was decent, though server went MIA as I was waiting for a second refill. Overall a very clean space, with tables that can accommodate large groups as well as couples or singles. Hard to say much more about my meal here than "OK," so three stars.

I'm unsure if the food has changed at all but our experience was GREAT. The breakfast was about the best I've ever had while eating out. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, from the biscuits and gravy to the potatoes, nothing seemed like it came from a packet or freezer. The country fried steak was nicely breaded, the biscuits and gravy were great for it not being "homemade". The portions were huge while the prices were also great on the "Chicago" scale.

Our food came out quick and it was perfect! We enjoyed every bite. As far as comments it is all personal preference but my daughter was the only one who wasn't a big fan of the sugar crystals in the waffles but loved the flavor of the waffle. Because we were celebrating a birthday my husband also got a complementary ice cream scoop! It was such a nice gesture. The entire restaurant was full but was so great to have been able to enjoy our favorites like the pantry scramble that was a hefty portion and of course the Truly Everything plate that comes with eggs, bacon, hasbrowns, sausage, toast, delicious jam, and two pancakes! If you're looking for a great price option that gives you quite a bit of options the Truly Everything plate is it! We loved the service, atmosphere, and food! Can't wait to come back!
