Three restaurants in one, and all great looking food, same owner and inter-connected. Great selection, we had the Whitefish Cajun, husband had the ribeye. Portions are large! Service was good, and the beer selection was outstanding. read more

We stopped in last Thursday night around 9pm and had a delicious diner. I had the burger with cheese, crisp bacon and waffle fries and my wife had a very good shrimp diner. Staff was very nice and treated us well. The dining room was near empty but we were treated very nice and not rushed at all. The bar area was busier. They always have an excellent assortment of beers with one for everyone's tastes. We had not eaten out for nearly three weeks as we were on an island in the Apostle Islands as National Park volunteers. We have been here before and are never disappointed. When we get off the island in another several weeks we may be back! read more

My husband and I were in Ashland last Wednesday visiting their new patient-based clinIc. We found this place after entering 2 other establishments and winding our way through was a bit like being in an escape room. We high-fived when we were led to our table. I was impressed with the menu and my craving for fish was thee deciding factor! My meal came with a rice pilaf, lots of wild rice and bits of carrots, a coleslaw that had bits of pineapple, but was floppy instead of crispy and fresh. ...and the Oscar goes to... the star of the meal..the whitefish from Lake Superior broiled to perfection. I will return to have it read more

Everything was amazing! zero complaints. Def will be back soon! Spinach artichoke dip was to die for.

Great beer & very good food. The meat loaf is terrific. This is our go to place in Ashland. read more

Usually good food but incredibly dissappointed to find a finger nail in the cheese soup. That means nobody is wearing gloves and they really shouldn't have fake nails when working with food either. read more

Just got home from a lunch there. Grilled meatloaf sandwich was a thing of perfection. Could only eat 1/4 of it because I had no restraint with the salad that was served first. Absolutely delicious! read more

We came for the fish fry on Friday night. The restaurant was quite busy but we were able to be seated party of six right away. The baked white fish with the specialty mashed potatoes and cole slaw was great. Very good service and ambiance. Will be back next time in the area. read more

Came in here with the wife for a couple of beers and lunch. Again, had the nut brown ale . Yum yum! Had the beer cheese soup, knew we couldnt go wrong there. Cheese curds and the crab cake appetizers were outstanding! Had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Lil hot lil spice, very tasty. Wife didn't have lunch. She was happy with apps & suds . We enjoyed this place. We also sat at the bar. We actually had growlers in the car from back home, we asked and they were willing to fill it for a very reasonable price. Was told we should fill it there as it would be a lot higher if we went to the South shore taproom over in Washburn about 15 min away. Would like to enjoy dinner here one day. Impressed by the service here and in the Alley next door. Did not make the brewery. read more

I've been coming to Ashland for work for the past 3 years and nothing really beats this place. The food is always good, the drinks are always poured correctly, and the service is great. I highly recommend the Cajun broiled whitefish! It smacks! read more

My server was awesome. Original server never came to my table. Kaja became my server and was very gracious. i had the smoked turkey wrap and it was wonderful. read more

Food is fantastic service is good, however they tend to be sneaky about addons/up charging.

Had another pleasurable dining experience with a large group of people on Tuesday night. Unfortunately there was another event which had a 2 hours for a table. We were not in a hurry & enjoyed socializing with colleagues & our supplier Bretting along with some beverages. Nice atmosphere & see pictures for more deta read more

Beer is good. Food is ok. Service, while everyone was very nice, was terrible. Food took a long time. When we finally inquired about our appetizer- it arrived a minute later. Sadly then our food arrived. Obviously not ideal timing. Not sure what went wrong. The host has taken our order and not sure if she caused the issue. (Maybe forgot to put in the order?) Our server, Hannah (I believe) was SO nice (keep smiling! You were great!!) but was busy trying to fix all the mistakes/oversights happening throughout many tables. I would not return if I was ever in the area again/would not recommend. read more

We mostly decided to try this because it was next door to our hotel & we didn't feel like driving any more. But it turned out to be a great choice! The stuffed mushrooms were very good, as was the whitefish. They also have some very good beers, though I would have liked a porter or stout in the lineup. read more

Best burger I've had in a while! PERFECTLY cooked to my requested medium rare, with great flavor.. Good clam chowder as well.. great ambience.. Looking forward to returning for the Ribeye, which sounded awesome.. read more

For a small town like Ashland, I'm glad they have a fine dining like this. I ordered Kebabs. We went there to celebrate my friends birthday and they provided him with a lava cake and vanilla ice cream. Staff is friendly. We went there on a Tuesday but still we need to wait around 35 minutes for our table. So suggest to make a reservation ahead.Will definitely eat here again if I get a chance to visit Ashland or Bayfield. read more

Everything was good I wish I had cane for dinner instead though. As the evening options for food seemed better. Hope this helps :) oh plus they have a nice drink menu read more

Excellent! We had the cajun seasoned whitefish, friends had beer battered whitefish, both meals were excellent. They have a broad variety of on-site brewed beers. Cost was reasonable, kid friendly, good place to eat in Ashland--and there are not a lot of places in town. read more

Deep Water Grille - Seafood Near Me - Ashland, Wisconsin

3 part restaurant ! the ally, middle bar and deep water. my only complaint is not being able to order some food from certain parts of the building . otherwise all 3 are great! shrimp was flavorful and the curdburgler hits the spot ! read more

We stopped here out of desperation after a long day of driving and being in the middle of nowhere needed a place to eat. Parking at 8:30 on a Friday night was a nightmare, there was no clear indication where to park just where you can't. The restaurant was in a beautiful old building that looked like it was a bank in a previous life. Our waitress was friendly, kind and prompt. For being a mostly vegetarian celiac it's not always easy finding a place to eat, this place seemed to fit the bill. My husband and I got the fish special. His was breaded and mine was broiled. He commented that the breading was a bit much for the fish and tasted ok. My broiled fish had no seasoning whatsover and needed lots of lemon and a little salt to be palatable but was at least cooked well. Overall, it wasn't worth what they were charging but it filled a need. read more

Deep Water Grille - Interior - Seafood Near Me - Ashland, Wisconsin

My wife and I found the atmosphere cozy, but grubby. It's one thing to celebrate history, but the floor needed refinishing badly. The menu choices were varied, ethnic and sophisticated. I didn't expect to have Salad Nicoise with grilled tuna in Ashland, but there is was, beautifully and authentically presented. My wife had soup of the day and enjoyed it. Ashland has very few fine dining choices, but Deep Water is a good one, especially with its emphasis on fresh local fish. read more

Atmosphere you want in a bar for an early afternoon lunch. The beer is brewed on premises- I had the Diesel - a smooth and refreshing blonde ale. The Lake Superior Whitefish tacos were phe-nom-en-al!! I've travelled all over the world and consider myself a fish taco afficianado - I would put these tacos up agains the best I've had in California! The fish is so incredibly fresh and light! Worth the 10 hour drive!!! read more

Ordered the meatloaf. It came out frozen! The potatoes and meatloaf were very cold. The brussel sprouts were undercooked and frozen as well. I'd expect warm food for 20$ a plate. read more

We had a little trouble finding this place, as it is connected to two other bars or restaurants. It was excellent! We each ordered the chef's special sirloin cam steaks. They were perfectly done, accompanied by excellently cooked asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. The service was good, too. read more

My family came here for dinner, and I think we left very happy and very full. The waitress was very nice and treated us with nice smiles. We ordered the trout, salmon, the special (pork tenderloin), ribs, beer cheese soup, and soup of the day (clam chowder). The soups were both really good, but slightly on the salty side. The pork was very tender, and the cheese sauce tasted great. There were so many large pieces of gnocchi that I thought it was a bit overwhelming. Overall, the taste was good. The trout was very tender and flavorful. The ribs were saucy and tender and came with a LOT of barbecue sauce. I had the salmon. It was tender, but slightly dry. The mango chili sauce it came with was delicious. The broccolini was cooked well and crunchy/crisp. They let me switch out the sweet potato and black bean "mash" for dirty rice, and overall I thought the plate was flavorful. I also appreciated their accommodation of the slight change in my order. Finally, I thought all the portions were great. There was a good amount of sauce that accommodated the entree, definitely enough food to fill you up and take home for leftovers, and priced well. read more

Get the Lake Superior Whitefish Dinner. It is fresh caught by Bodin's and is crazy good. Great atmosphere and helpful staff. Stick for dessert, our table got the chocolate lava cake and a New York cheesecake and thEy were both awesome. read more

We drove in from out of state and found this restaurant on yelp. The reviews were strong so we thought we would try it but it was a sad fail. They were sold out of white fish which was the primary reason for our visit. I ordered the filet instead and it was undercooked. Hopefully others have a better experience. We did not have a good one. read more

My wife ordered the whitefish dinner which she loved and the flavor was excellent. I ordered the Alfredo with shrimp and the heaviness and richness of all the cream and cheese was a bit unsettling for my stomach. I guess I really didn't feel very good after. These two dishes - along with my wife having two glasses of wine and I had one - came to a total of $65.40 for the bill (before gratuity). A bit spendy. read more

Excellent service, nice atmosphere. Well prepared and unique menu. You can't go wrong. Highly recommended. 3 restaurants in one.

Food is solid and the beer is fantastic. The view of Lake Superior from the second story outside deck is great. read more

Deep Water Grille - Flight o beer on the second floor outdoor patio. - Seafood Near Me - Ashland, Wisconsin

Food was delicious, very happy with the stuffed mushroom appetizer and our meals! The Banh Mi sandwich is excellent with great flavor and so was the special, a Prime rib fajita bowl with lots of great spices and flavors added to it. Service was excellent, wish we would've found this place days earlier compared to some of the touristy restaurants in Bayfield that either had poor service or lack luster food. Keep doing what you're doing here, will definitely recommend and be back. read more

First time in the area. Stumbled across this pub and was so impressed. Great food, super friendly service and a great selection of micro brews. The bar is very cool - brought up from Florida in three pieces apparently. While I don't expect to be back in the area for awhile, I will certainly make this my spot for dinner. read more

Nut Brown Ale and a plate of poutine! Dinner is done! Great service, good food, fun environment, what more could you ask? read more

So I came back again and again, but nothing was as good as the first time. It just got worse. This last time I was served burnt food and was never checked on or asked how my food was. Eventually I pointed it out since it was so bad. Yuck! :( Why serve food that was so obviously burned. Maybe it's the off season but to be a great restaurant you've got to be consistent and put a bit more love in your food and care more about your customers. Decreased stars to 2 overall. I'd have taken them all off but I really did enjoy my first meal there. read more

Great family dining. Tina and Taylor are awesome Becky is very helpful. Ashlamd ttradition.

We were traveling and about 4 hours or so from home. It's Saturday night so we wanted something good. Yelp to the rescue! This place was totally worth it, I got the Creole Whitefish and Shrimp, amazing! Flavors were awesome, shrimp and fish moist and full of fresh herbs and spices. My husband got the king cut Prime Rib special with a baked potato and veggies, he enjoyed his meal and just like mine lots of flavor. My little girl got the kids fried whitefish and fries, she ate it right up, and she is a fussy fish eater. Highly recommend! If we are ever in the area again, this is our choice. read more

Delicious food and great service. They bring in fresh ingredients from local farms, etc. Also enjoyed being able to get a flight of beer from South Shore brewery. Pro-Tip: Make reservations and don't go too late. It got a bit busy and while we were able to order what we wanted, after we ordered we heard servers telling tables that certain dishes were sold out. read more
