The light fixture above the bar is stunningly made from a huge tree trunk and has to be seen to be understood but trust me. It is beautiful. The dining room is spacious and welcoming. Our waitress was right on the ball. Arrived to our table promptly, was attentive but gave us space and time to visit and decide. Eventually, she came back with a warning of an upcoming big party so we ordered right away then and our meals came out in perfect timing. The lobster bisque was a very tasty starter for me and was a nice side option for my friend. No chunks of lobster but the seasoning and taste was just right, so no need for salting. I had the Kimchee ribs special. Wow! So tender and juicy. They slid right off the bone, and the wild rice side with avocado was tasty. My daughter had a "spicy" chicken wrap that they happily modified to not be as spicy and she loved it. My friend tried the mushroom Swiss burger that her husband had the previous time and it did not disappoint. My other friend had the brisket sandwich. The meat was tasty but a little dry. Could have used a little more sauce or juice. HOWEVER, he said that the yummy coleslaw on top served as a perfect "moistener". Overall a delicious meal was had by all.

We weren't very hungry, but even if we were, what we ordered would have filled us both. Each had a very hot bowl of French Onion Soup which was delicious. It was full- bodied, not overly salty, with a nice bread covered with very bubbly, browned cheese overall. We also split a Black and Blue Gorgonzola Cranberry salad in which the good-sized piece of steak was nicely charred, and tender, and the greens fresh and plentiful as was the cheese crumbles and bacon. What really made it delicious was the absolutely delicious balsamic vinaigrette (maybe the best I've ever had and that's saying a lot because I am a salad fanatic)! The waitress was very nice (though the other woman wasn't so friendly). The only thing that wasn't great the ambiance. The ceiling is so high and there was a table of four women who were so loud it was hard to have a conversation at our table of two, and no one else in the restaurant. The walls are very bare and the tables look like they were haphazardly arranged. But who cares much when the food is so good, and the prices exactly reasonable!.

Their special was a walleye eggs Benedict which I thought was quite interesting and *shouldn't be on the menu if it's not good, so I tried it. Certainly a mistake. Very poorly balanced.

All specials (appetizers, entrees, desserts) are written in a chalkboard in the entry hallway. These specials will not be repeated by waitstaff nor will they appear in writing anywhere but in the chalkboard. 2. The protocol on arriving is to walk through the entry hallway, take a sharp right into the bat area and wait, standing at end if bar until someone acknowledges your presence and registers your party. 3. You may wait awhile until anyone acknowledges or waits on you. The food here is excellent, as is the service, once you pass step 3 above. Serving sizes are generous. I highly recommend the "specials", I had the broiled Lake Superior whitefish in a bed of carmelized onions with garlic butter sauce. Suoerb! Talking to locals, this is the best food in the area.

And excellent service. It's definitely not your "typical" Northwoods pub. No burgers. No cheese curds. Coke in a can. More eclectic menu.
