Overall, the food was good. The breakfast was standard and as expected. I liked the Finnish pancakes because they were soft, buttery, and the right amount of eggy. I just wished the dish was a bit more filling. My husband enjoyed his Mojakka stew -- it was hearty and comforting. The beef was tender. It wasn't the most flavourful stew, but I think the point of this stew is to be hearty and classic rather than unique / bursting with spices. Again, my only criticism would be the portion size being on the smaller side. The service was prompt and friendly.

My partner and I showed up at the Beacon for a late brunch on a long weekend Monday when little else in Thunder Bay was open. We both agreed we were glad most places opted to stay closed that day because otherwise we wouldn't have broken with routine and would have missed out on this gem entirely. We grabbed a window booth and were promptly greeted by one the most genuinely sweet servers I've encountered in a while. She gave us menus and ran us through the specials of the day before running off to grab us our coffees. I opted for a fried egg sandwich with cheese and home fries, and my partner got the buccaneer breakfast (your standard big ole diner breakfast with toast, eggs, home fries, and meat) and we each opted for a single Finnish pancake on the side because hello they are only $1.50 and something sweet with your savoury is such a nice thing. Our food arrived quickly and was all the things you want from a diner breakfast - crispy home fries, slightly runny fried eggs with crispy edges, Kraft peanut butter packets, and free flowing coffee refills. Plus for all the food and drink we spent like $20 for two people (tax and tip not included). Apparently this place has been around for like 30 years but recently changed owners and I guess its been less busy since that time. I don't know why because its got all the ingredients for a bumping breakfast/brunch spot. Do yourself a favour and get there before it starts getting busy again.

We asked for a table near the window, so we could look out and enjoy the view of the bay but it needed to be cleared. The waitress seamed irritated by this and told us to go sit in the lobby and wait until it was clear. A second waitress came to seat us was not as grumpy but still seamed a bit off. We ordered a burger and a salad, basic items. The burger was overcooked, we asked for a salad with mixed green garden lettuce, but it was served with just Romain lettuce, And finally, we found a hair in the salad. They took 20% off the bill but it was still gross. I heard the table behind us behind us complaining about their food as well and they got 20% knocked off their bill for something that went wrong. We were definitely disappointed with the high prices that this restaurant charges and the quality of food we were presented with With so many incredible restaurants within walking distance, being in this high-end neighborhood and associated with the Marriott hotels, this restaurant is way off brand.

I was not a big fan of the sausage but really enjoyed the toast which was nice and buttery and ofc the potatoes. This place is very reasonably priced, and for the price the portion is really big, which is awesome!

For food, I ordered the prosciutto gouda pretzel and tomato spinach roll. If I had to choose my favourite between the two it would be the pretzel - it was very crispy and definitely the best tasting pretzel I've had. If you prefer softer, chewier foods, you may like to tomato spinach roll more. Altogether the total was just over $21 with tax. Very reasonable portions and prices coupled with freshness and great taste - this is probably the best cafe I've been to including ones in Ottawa and Toronto. I'll be coming back if I visit Thunder Bay again!

BUT- I stayed in the cabins behind the restaurant and it was my absolute worst away from home experience of my life. There was no heating and there were dead bugs and spiderwebs all over the cabin. I actually ended up sleeping in the car because I didn't want to freeze to death. During the day I would use the oven and the steam from the shower to keep warm. I never showered during my stay though because once my hair would get wet there would be no way for me to warm back up again. I think this place is great for the poor people of thunder bay but it's nasty to me.
