    Such a disappointment! We were so excited based on the menu and the glowing reviews. We came for…read moreTiger Pizza and Brisket Tacos. After we sat down at the bar, we were told they did not have brisket so the Tiger Pizza and Brisket Tacos were not an option as advertised. Disappointed of course, but these things happen, especially with house made brisket. We were still looking forward to see what else was on the menu. I ordered the Poppers because my son was excited by the Bacon Habanero Jam that was supposed to be served with the appetizer. Unfortunately, it was served with some ranch dressing type sauce without being told about the switch. It was not great and obviously not what we ordered or what was described on the menu. We also tried the Dune Bird appetizer. It could not be served as initially advertised either as no brisket was available, so they used pulled pork which seemed like a good option. Although I appreciated the Smokey Flavor of the pork, the consistency was a bit like baby food with the corn bread super dry even though it was covered by an overly salty (canned?) really thin gravy. We moved on to the entrees as we ordered two orders of the walleye tacos. We also asked for sides of the Sweet Pea Pasta Salad as well and were told they only had enough for one side and we needed to pick a different second side. (This was early on a Saturday night so the lack of ingredients to make many of the item on the menu was odd as I assume Saturday night could be a busy night?) After we were served our tacos we were shocked to receive tacos that were 90% filled with a really bad version of "Kentucky Fried Chicken" cole slaw that was supposed to be "Cilantro Lime Slaw". (Absolutely no cilantro and no lime by the way.) After scraping the cole slaw away we found two small pieces of water logged walleye with no flavor or seasoning that may have been at the bottom of a freezer earlier in the summer. (My wife took one bite and unhappily left the bar to look at their nice gift shop and did not return.) The reason I gave 2 Stars instead of 1 Star was that our server was fantastic. She could not have been more charming and attentive. If I go back (my wife told me she won't), it will be because of our server and the promise of great brisket that was once available previously. If you don't want to prepare for customers off season, then close down from November thru April and do it right for the "Locals" from May until October. But don't do what you did tonight. It is not fair to your servers, kitchen and especially your paying customers.

    First time trying this new beautiful restaurant…read more What struck us the most was the incredible service! You won't find a kinder group of servers and wait staff in Leelanau. They were patient with our group of 9 and made wonderful recommendations and substitutions when they ran out of salad at the end of the night. Star dish was the walleye tacos. Fresh and light. I could have eaten two more! We went back the next day to get them again, they were THAT good!
