It's a very small place but you can't beat the view. We started with the Whitefish cakes which are source from local whitefish and a local fish company. They had great taste and were very crispy. I had the fish of the day which was grouper and I chose to have it blackened and it was served over a creamed corn grits, very interesting. My wife had the Sushi bowl which was very good but the tuna was a bit too over-cooked. All in all it was a good experience food wise but when I made the reservations on-line I could only choose between 5:00 or 7:30 for availability. We were there at 5:00 and the dinning room was less than half full until we left at 6:00.

When we contacted the restaurant, they recommended we come before 5PM to get a table outside. We showed up at 4:55PM and got the last table! They have a great craft beer selection including IPA's (which is big plus for me). We started with the Salmon Tartare ($18) which was a light and flavorful selection in which we both enjoyed. My bride went with the Salmon ($36) and I went with the Halibut ($42) and we both loved our selections including the sides! They were so well prepared and perfect dishes for out tastes. Service from Benjamin was outstanding! Very attentive, yet not overbearing allowing us to really enjoy our evening on the patio in such a beautiful setting and evening!

The whitefish with melted butter is amazing. The fish boil also comes with potatoes, corn, Cole slaw, a drink, and cherry pie. One of the best parts of the experience is the fish boil demonstration. They take the time to explain the ingredients, cooking process, and history behind this Door County tradition. Great storytelling and a fun experience to watch! Outdoor seating is available, and the entire experience is well worth it. If you're visiting Door County and want to experience a traditional fish boil, Pelletier's is a great choice. Highly recommend! Thank You

After making reservations for the fish boil on Labor Day, I arrived and checked in at 5 for a great…read morespeech about tradition and inclusivity only to then have one of the worst experiences. Once at our table we waited 40+ min before I could flag down a server. During which the table of 10+ next to us left, they cleaned the table, sat 10 more people and served them the fish bowl. The server served every other table in the restaurant before talking to us, including checking on two of the tables near us again to make sure they had everything included in the meal. Finally after every single other person in the restaurant was served and checked on, the waitress walked by and stated " did the other waitress serve you?". I said no and began going over our order which included a non lactose meal which the waitress stated " I can read..." and walked away. Only to then be brought not only the wrong plate but not be brought bread or corn. I had to point it out and the waitress stated "oh, I guess you're right." Then clearly overheard that they were out of fish, clearly the reason my wife was given the wrong meal. I again want to be clear that the table next to us had their entire meal start to finish already at this point and this was a prearranged meal that should have been served with everyone else at that fish boil time. It was clear that our server would rather die than speak to me as I raised my hand again and again every time she passed by. Finally she stopped by the table and said that they were cooking our food in the back and that it would be out shortly. I asked for an explanation as the entire meal should have been cooked in the fish boil and not separately. The waitress laughed and said "it's boiled in water out there, it's boiled in water in the back, what's the difference..." my wife then said we need to speak to a manager since that's not the experience. Another person stepped over 5-10 min later and said let me explain that we are cooking it and it will be out shortly, confused we asked if it was cooked in the fish boil and if she was the manager, which she said no. Finally the manager did come over, however after an hour and a half my wife had already left. I felt completely unwelcome, like we were the problem. The manager did comp the meal however stated that "what did we want there was fish...?" again my wife never received her correct meal as they were out of fish. I am honestly so confused as to how or why the waitress wanted to completely avoid serving us, not bring food after we were the last ones left, get another server when asked for her manager to confuse us more, and the manager to clearly just want us to leave as soon as possible... as if we were the problem for eating there. This experience took over 2 hours,

We stopped in without a reservation and were told it would be about a 20-minute wait. They gave us a pager so we could wander around a bit, and the wait ended up being very manageable. There's also a full bar, and you definitely get the feeling this is a neighborhood kind of place -- we noticed quite a few regulars being greeted while we were there, which is always nice to see. My husband and I both ordered the fish and chips, and they were very good. The atmosphere is definitely casual rather than fancy, so come as you are and relax. It was extremely windy the day we visited, so the large garage-style doors were closed. I imagine having those open on a beautiful Door County day would completely change the feel of the restaurant. Overall, we had a perfectly nice experience. The food was good and the restaurant had a friendly, local feel. With so many restaurants to explore in Door County, I'm not sure it would be at the top of my list for a return visit, but I'm glad we gave it a try.

We selected this place for my birthday breakfast because of the vegan and gluten free menu options available. Upon arrival however, we're quite disappointed to find out the menu online was not what they had available. Thus there was only one option available that was safe for my son. What we did end up ordering was great and fresh. We made adaptations to accommodate our dietary needs and it was still delicious. My final complaint is that our waitress was off putting. It felt like we were doing everything wrong (made reservations that don't matter apparently, looked at the wrong menu online, clarified that a menu item was dairy free, etc.). She was condescending and it was quite uncomfortable to relax and enjoy. Food gets a 4 (would have been a 5 if their menu was more inclusive), service gets a 2. Landing at a 3.

I chose to sit inside and was lucky enough to gave a seat at the window looking into the beautiful garden. There was an early bird special with $5 cocktail, and $35 three course meal! So I arrived at 5:25 to take advantage of this deal. The old fashioned was enormous and strong. A bit sweet and heavily iced. The appetizer salad was beautifully constructed with crunchy, wonderfully fresh veggies. And a ranch that was delicious (I don't usually love ranch). My entree was the chicken katsu which was huge and so crispy with a a sweet lovely sauce drizzled over it. And the cherry pie for dessert was the perfect ending. Even though I was stuffed, it was the perfect slice of cherry pie. A buttery, flaky crust balanced with the tart cherries.
