Knowing it would likely be the spring when I'm back again we made a special trip to celebrate my nephew's birthday. Cool vibe inside. Lots of black on black, which I like. Music was 80's rock, which I don't like, but appropriate for who was in there. The barkeeps were very good - friendly and made excellent cocktails. My nephew and I had smoked old fashioneds (his first!) and my sister had a margarita. We all agreed they were delicious. I'd very happily come back here! Recommend.

You can order off of a platter menu for the igloos or order anything off of the Pub menu. We had cocktails, wine, a giant pretzel (perfect chewiness and two good dipping sauces, and I generally hate the beer cheese sauce at most place), a decent charcuterie tray (regular stuff and addictive Pimento cheese), and a so so Chocolate Fondu. The donuts, chocolate sticks and gingerbread goldfish were good. The frozen pineapple and pretzels were far from good. The chocolate was pretty normal. Overall I would pass on this one. The server, Christen, was amazing. She really helped make the night great. Overall this is a super fun and not shockingly expensive way to spend an evening. With the fresh snow around it's even better. And as for the temp? It was 15 out and everyone took off their jackets inside.

It seems like a fun time to spend a few hours enjoying a brew or driving your boat up to it too!

First time visit for breakfast based on recommendation from another fantastic local restaurant…read moremanager. The homemade jumbo carmel rolls (to go) were a hit with the kids and were still warm when I got home. The server waited to have to heated up until I was ready to go to ensure they would be warm. It was a great touch. Based on the recommendation did the breakfast burrito. So glad that I did as it was a meal for 2 but filled with eggs, sausage, bacon, cheese, shredded hashbrowns, and maybe some grilled onions. Then topped with queso cheese sauce and the option for spicy or default homemade salsa. I did the spicy salsa on the side for my half and the regular salsa on the side to go for the other half. Definitely a burrito for two. When the bartender found out that this was my first visit she walked me thru the menu and the specials that are available on the weekend (limited quantities smoked ribs and beef brisket) So glad that a trusted voice recommended I give Sunshine's a try. Great food and great staff.

Both times we've been here, we were seated promptly and the service was friendly and attentive. Parking is super easy and you can hear each other speaking here (I have found these two things are getting more and more important to me, which is I guess how you can tell I'm aging ha!). Breakfast choices for our group included the Paul Bunyan Scramble and the breakfast burrito (huge!!) as well as the standard eggs/bacon/toast/hashbrowns - I should have asked for the hashbrowns to be more cooked and I will remember that next time, but that's my own preference. Dinner was just my husband and me, I can't remember what he got but I KNOW I got the smashburger and it was excellent, as were the fries. This place is not on the water which means it's much more reasonably priced than some of the other choices in the area, too, another reason to visit again!

From the outside, it had a large log-cabin type of appearance - but the strongest feature here was the atmosphere and the beautiful lighting and stone work that awaits you when you walk through the front door. It was truly an amazing visual experience to see! We started with a round of drinks. I had the Old Fashioned (see picture) and was honestly quite disappointed with it as it seemed to be nothing but straight bourbon and possibly a slight dash of bitters. My wife ordered a Margarita and both of us thought it tasted quite good. For dinner, my wife and I decided to split the 16 oz Ribeye (see picture) while she added the salad (see picture) and we shared the Popovers (see picture). I really liked the Popovers and the flavored butter that came with them. My wife enjoyed the flavor of the salad, but didn't like that it had to be cut at the table to eat it. The Ribeye was above average in flavor and was prepared as ordered - and the Cheesy Potatoes (see picture) were fantastic, so rich, creamy and delicious. Last but not least, we ordered a piece of Turtle Cheesecake (see picture) and that quite frankly was likely the highlight of my meal - I thought it was wonderful and would highly recommend that you end your meal with a piece of it yourself!

We had a bigger group and got a mix of pizza, chips and salsa/guacamole, tacos, burritos, and chicken bowls. Overall the food tasted good, well spiced and balanced. The bartenders were helpful and mostly friendly. We have been coming to this location for years and feel like it is becoming rundown. A few things we noticed: -limes and lemons at the outdoor bar were brown and either had been out for days or the heat was making them go bad -the bathrooms smell like puke/other potty smells and the floor is consistently sticky everywhere -we all had belly aches after we ate, with some people having more issues than others -we sat at the composite picnic tables and they almost burned our skin Overall this is a fun place to stop for drinks and entertainment, but be warned about food quality and potential other sanitary concerns. This place could overall use a good thorough clean and benefit from more umbrellas to shade the composite tables to avoid burning skin.
