We had an Open Table confirmation for Nov 27 and arrived to find the place all dark and closed up. Would love to have eaten and been able to review the food.

Waited all day to get to this place, since the boil wasn't until 6 PM and had a long drive after dinner. It was quite enjoyable from start to finish. The cornbread was on point with every crumb the coffee was hot and fresh and robust and the best cup I had on the entire weekend trip in the door, the boil was quite unique for February being able to have the experience through the window on the deck with step-by-step experience. Gulf shrimp were so delicious and fresh tasting with vegetables like brussel sprouts and sweet potato as well as the red potato and fresh corn and sausage. There's a lobster tail upgrade option as well. Love the special chef made seasoning and sauce. The cherry pie tasted fresh baked and flakey crust was amazing. The ribs were so unique and flavorful with just the right amount of seasoning and sauce.

Unforgettable! Outstanding! You can tell that a lot of care and love goes into the food. All details considered to make this a truly delicious and memorable meal. Feels homey, yet modern. Beautiful setting with excellent service.

Cajun shrimp fish boil

We had a really great night at Kettle Black for the Cajun Shrimp Fish Boil. Door County is known for its white fish boils, but this was such a unique take on it that my whole family preferred! The meal was so much more flavorful and we all loved it! There was even a great vegetarian option that was full of flavor. They also do traditional fish boils, but I recommend the Cajun one! It was a little spicy, but nothing extreme and there was a great sauce to kick it more if you like. Great atmosphere and personal experience talking with the chef and other attendees. Finished with a delicious slice of cherry pie!

We came in the winter when the crowds were lower. It was a very relaxing evening and the food was great. The owners ran the whole place as well when we were there and were very nice. It definitely goes on the list for a place to go back to. They do have alternatives to fish/seafood but we did not have it.

So excited to have another great fish boil experience in Door County after losing a couple! Everything was cooked to perfection, the staff was super friendly, and the decor is spotless and lovely. The boil-master visited our table and had delightful stories to share. We can't wait to try their Cajun boil next!

Never been to a fish boil but glad I finally did it. This was worth every penny. You can see the fires up pot of fish and then go sit down for a elegant dining experience. The meal was just delicious. U won't ever get fresher whitefish. Don't miss this yummy meal. You will be satisfied-cherry pie too!!

A fantastic experience! My husband and I had a wonderful time going to Pelletier's fish boil!…read moreGetting to see the process of the potatoes, onion, corn and Lake Michigan native fish go into the pot with a fun history was a unique and fun experience. Everyone enjoyed their time on the patio seeing the boil itself before going in to enjoy the outcome. My husband immediately said that it was the best fish he'd ever had, and was shocked that it needed no extra seasonings or sauces. The salt that was used and the cooking process itself brought out incredible flavors in the fish and sides. The owner takes so much pride in his work and is excellent interacting with his guests! There is a lot of indoor/outdoor seating but you should call to make a reservation and get your name on the list! You have to get there about 45 minutes early before "the show" to get your ticket, which is no issue. There is also an option to choose from over a dozen other entrees if you're not interested in seafood (I saw a vegetarian option too), as well as a kids menu. The non-alcoholic beverages are included in the ticket but there is an option to purchase local and big name beers as well. The cherry pie at the end is the chef's kiss! It was such a perfect addition to our trip, even people who brought toddlers had a fun time with their kids. We'll come back to this fish boil every time we visit Door County!

I've been waiting years to finally get a reservation for the fish boil here and it finally…read morehappened! I should have opted for the smaller portion because the regular portion was more than I could consume! It was over a pound of fish! The master boiler has been doing this for over 40 years so it must be a great place to work! That says a lot for a business these days. Dining options are indoors or outdoors, and we opted for outdoors the bread was a little disappointing as it was just sliced bread and not rolls. It includes a soft drink, which is a nice touch and of course, the cherry pie. It would be nice if there was seasoning on the table is a little bland.
