    Margarita
    Becky K.

    We had a great time here. The food and drinks were great. I hate to say this, but everyone in my party felt as though the server was rude and kind of grouchy. My dairy intolerance wasnt taken seriously as I asked for no butter on the bun but it was served on both parts of the bun. They offered to remake the sandwich but I felt bad so I just had them replace the bun. Unfortunately the view is of a parking lot but you can hear the live music next door from the winery.

    Food was good and service was attentive. Had the walleye grilled it was good. Nice area. Cute store in front area with lots of nice things. Bar attached as well. Coleslaw is sweet fyi. You get discount with cash! Seafood bisque was good.

    The service and the ambience are just fine. In fact, I would say the service was even above Fine perhaps four stars. That said the drinks, at least mine, and the food were not. My seafoam, margarita, or whatever it was called, was just way too salty! The salt stayed in my mouth for sometime even after having a great lakes IPA. For the food, the perch and my perch tacos were good but the flour tortillas were somewhat stale. My wife ordered the small serving of spaghetti with meat sauce. Either the meat sauce was extremely watery or the pasta was not properly drained before adding the sauce. My wife also said it needed additional seasoning. It was an interesting stop, and I'm glad we did; however, I doubt we'll be back.

    Good perch entree. I loved the duck wings too! Quick friendly service in a casual atmosphere.

    Fried lake perch and a buffalo chicken flat bread. Not bad for the middle of nowhere! The fish was perfectly cooked and quite delicious.

    Driving around Marblehead, pre-season and during the pandemic, we were excited to find anything open. Marblehead Galley's patio was welcoming us as we drove by, so we popped in for a quick lunch. All of the staff were wearing masks so we felt perfectly at ease wearing them as well. I'll be honest we're not quite used to this new reality yet, but that's for a different conversation! When you're this close to the lake, and you have the opportunity to have fish caught nearby, you really should. I ordered the fried lake perch, and it did not disappoint. In fact, it was some of the better perch I've had in recent memory, and while I can't imagine we'll be back in the area any time soon, I will gladly stop by again and order some more when I do.

    Mediterranean Wrap - no avocado at all. Service slow and frustrated.
    Callie A.

    Service very slow - one very tired and annoyed server in the entire place. Food was just ok, I got a Mediterranean wrap with chicken and about 4 out of 6 ingredients were in it, for sure no avocado as listed on the menu, I kept looking and hoping it would turn up.

    Unfortunately, our first ( and last) experience here was very disappointing, largely because of the…read moreservice (or lack of service I should say). Our server had virtually no customer service skills and very monotonous personality. After taking our order and bringing out our food, she rarely returned to our table. We couldn't get a simple refill on our waters, despite having thirsty kids with us. She never checked in to see if we needed anything, never offered refills, and didn't even stop by to ask if we wanted to-go boxes. Throughout most of our meal, she was sitting at another table chatting instead of attending to her customers. By the end of our visit, we learned it was her mother and grandparents, who apparently visit the restaurant often. While there's nothing wrong with greeting family, it shouldn't come at the expense of every other table. Listening to conversations about coworkers and schoolwork while waiting for basic service was frustrating. We ended up leaving shortly after food arrived so we could find somewhere else to get water for our kids. There was also guests sitting behind us, making comments on the speed of our children eating because they wanted our table. It's unfortunate because this was our first visit to the area, and the poor service left a lasting negative impression. I hope management addresses this, as attentive service is a big part of the dining experience And their reputation will tank at this server's inability to provide quality service.

After visiting the area for many summers we finally tried this place on a Thursday night as their kitchen was open til a decent hour. We were immediately impressed with the complimentary chips and amazing salads trio that was both fresh and oh so good. I was not familiar with fried salmon( I always enjoy it grilled, broiled, or baked) so I tried the taco featuring three delicately fried pieces topped with pickled onions and a medley of fresh veggies. I swapped my mixed fries for the street corn which did not disappoint but after sampling my husband's mixed fries I realized I made the wrong choice as the mixed fries are out of this world. Similarly, the birria tacos are juicy perfection that I now see why are the popular choice on the menu. Get them. You won't regret it. A seasonal peach margarita also blew my doors off as it was made with fresh and real ingredients - no prep made syrups here. The beautifully preserved lime and peach and choice of rim only added to the wow factor. We left full, feeling pampered and impressed. Can't wait to return next time we're in the Lakeside vicinity!

Three of us had the $38 seafood fettuccine many of the muscle shells were broken causing the dish to have sharp pieces throughout that needed picked out before we could eat it. The fettuccine was also very stiff and sticky. Our server seemed extremely busy, which we completely understand, but I asked for a water refill when the food arrived that never came and went nearly an hour without anything to drink. He also wasn't able to return to check on our meals. With a restaurant as established as this one, we were surprised there wasn't additional support for the server with things like water refills and table checks. The final frustration was learning only at checkout that our group could not have separate checks. We had seven couples and specifically indicated who was together while ordering, so we naturally assumed the orders were being separated. Our bill was around $1,200, with couples spending anywhere from approximately $90 to $250, so simply dividing the total among several cards wasn't a practical solution. Had we been told about the policy before ordering, we absolutely could have planned accordingly. We understand that separating a large check after the fact can be difficult, but since the policy wasn't communicated to us beforehand, we felt the right thing to do would have been to make an exception rather than leaving our group to sort out the bill at the end of the evening.
