Actually got in my face and got loud in the middle of a wedding. Took ten minutes to get checked in while the staff was pouring drinks. At the front desk/ bar. Free breakfast was a joke Food in warmer but the staff waited twenty minutes to serve a dining room full of people till they had more food. Dinner at the wedding was supposed to be prime rib Instead got shoe leather and barely cooked vegetables.very pretty place I would not recommend worst service and watch out for the crappy owner going through vehicles If I could give zero stars I would

We waited to checkin at the office/bar/ restaurant for 10-15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. There were 2 women working making drinks. They saw us and never said a word. A simple "i'll be with you in a minute" would have gone a long way. We weee never given any rules, directions, check out times. The next time we went for breakfast. Although there was food in the serving trays, they made us wait for at least 15 minutes before we could go up for food. By the time we were able to eat, the place was packed. Saturday night we attended a wedding reception. Instead of using a tray, servers brought out 2 plates at a time. With almost 100 people there, our food was cold. The prime rib was very grizzly and tough. Even after requesting steak knives, it could barely be cut. The biggest disappointment and instant turnoff was the owner. When he was questioned about a situation, he became very loud, was pointing his finger in a guests face and was using profanity. His attitude, demeanor, and lack of professionalism was a total disgrace and unbelievable! Never have i experienced something like this!

It's picturesque whether you are lakeside or inland. We ate today at The Northwoods Restaurant. The vibe was pure Michigan with knotty pine interior, a huge bar, and flags for almost all of Michigan's colleges. (What happened to Northern MI Univ?) The service was fast and friendly. The food was terrific pub grub. We all ate a different burger, all good and cooked to order- medium rare. I had to taste test the Olive Burger, rarely found outside Michigan. It was tasty as were the spicy fried dill pickles. We'll be back!

VERY RUDE OF THE WAITRESS & POOR QUALITY OF FOODS. DO NOT WASTE THE $$$ TO EAT HERE!!!!!…read more Oct 12, 2025 - I ordered the battered fish and chips from the lunch menu; my friends and I agreed that the portion of the fillet is very small and quite fishy (not fresh); about my own order, I substituted the chips with "vegetable" but the restaurant was only gave the carrots. At $25.99 plus tips and taxes so it costs over $30 it's overpriced for junk foods The services were terrible as one of the waitress, the chubby one was very rude when I told her that she messed up my order. It's no apology for the mistakes she made and yelled at me for not paying attention when I ordered my foods. It seems she was trying to excuse the situation she caused. Meanwhile, this waitress was questioning me in front of other customers and very confrontational. I addressed my concerns to her it's UNACCEPTABLE ATTITUDE to the customers. The owner should not hire this type of people as the front end worker. I did report the situation to another person who was working at the cashier area. I hope the owner should investigate this situation at least .... AWFUL EXPERIENCE I NEVER EVEN HAD
