The bar and view are top echelon. The service is fine, but the food is at the quality level of a well run McDonald's, and in last nights instance it's worse. It was as if the food sat under a warming light for extended period of time. At least the view was amazing?

We didn't know if it was seat yourself or if we should wait for a host, there wasn't a sign or anyone to greet you at the front. Our waitress was great, she was able to recommend food & drinks, checked on us multiple times, and was super friendly. Our drinks came quick, but our food took forever. (A table next to us was seated, ordered, ate, paid & left before we got our food). When it finally came, the fries were cold but everything else was warm. For being cold the fries were still yummy, which means they're probably amazing when they're fresh and hot! We had the pulled pork (8/10), sweet potato quesadilla (7/10), garlic parm wings (6/10), and buffalo chicken sandwich (9/10). Overall, I'd come back if I was in Detroit lakes again. The place itself is fun, large strip mall parking lot, extensive bar, lots of high top seating, and decent patio.

Now don't get me wrong, some of the food isn't too bad but the quality could be so much better. The restaurant looks cheap and it smells bad, which gives me bad vibes about what their kitchen must look like. Also, who the hell charges someone for their 2 year old to eat?! Maybe that's common and I'm not a cheap bastard but it just seems to be in poor taste in my opinion.

The waitress brought our check only a few minutes after bringing our entrees. We had only just begun eating. We all found that a bit rude. How did she know we that we wouldn't want more? It was my bday, we wanted desserts and more drinks. But we did not feel welcomed anymore. when we tried to get her attention to get boxes for our leftovers, she cringed at us. A real cringe that we all noticed. No matter how good the food was, or mediocre, the service leaves you not feeling welcomed.

When we got there, it wasn't clear where a hosted stand was so we walked up to the bar to ask and were told seat yourselves. We grabbed a spot near the patio door and waited for almost ten minutes for our server to stop by. At that point we ordered both drinks and food. Both came out quickly, my husband got a HUGE hot dog that he devoured. I got the mile high sandwich with wild rice soup. The sandwich was decent but the side of honey mustard with it was kinda odd. Glad it was on the side so I just left it alone. The wild rice soup was good, but could've been hotter. Once we were done, we asked for a box and again waited and waited for the box and check. Cool venue by the lake but if we go back, hopefully a different server is around.

One of the specials was a smoked salmon and dill dip I asked if it was served hot or cold and was told hot so I said we'd take it. Somehow we were served the spinach and artichoke dip; it was flavorless and piping hot but also cold in some spots as was the rest of the food. My fiancé ordered the porter house pork chop with the mashed potatoes and sauerkraut and it came with a salad. I ordered the Trust me which is all chefs choice. I told the waitress I was allergic to parsnips since I knew that was a vegetable option but didn't give any other parameters for my meal. My fiancés pork-chop was overcooked and dry the barbecue sauce was the only thing on our table the whole meal that had flavor. The chef prepared for me a sword fish over couscous in a béarnaise sauce. The first few bites of the fish were way over cooked and dry the last few bites were moist and cooked well the couscous was both crunchy (undercooked) as well as mushy (overcooked) neither the fish nor the couscous had any flavor which was very disappointing. Along with the fish was a petite sirloin which was very tough and dry and lacked any flavor; there was chimichuri sauce on the steak that definitely wasn't made correctly it was sweet and didn't taste at all like parsley. Under the steak was roasted broccoli and cauliflower which was also somehow overcooked but not cooked enough which seemed to be the theme of the evening. When the waitress asked how everything was I said fine because honestly I was so over it and had eaten a decent amount already since I was so hungry. Needless to say we won't be back.
