If I could change one thing -- the seasoning used on the cod was overly yellow and tasted like something you might get at the grocery store with a lot of MSG in it. The fries were also overly seasoned. But the fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce on the schnitzel was divine. Clearly there are some things made in house, and others that are outsourced...

I need to continue the high praise for this awesome liquor store. THE BEST beer selection (tons of…read moreIPAs, tons of local options, full lines from New Glarus and the like) in the Northwoods. Excellent wine options, and they have great mixers, including Gosling's ginger beer. I will go out of my way to ensure I do my beer pick up here, than any other store. Also, prices are the same-- if not better than the big chains. Trust you'll find the best stuff here :)

Super easy access via boat or car I always can find a seat at the bright sunlit bar. The live music on Thursday nights in the summer or if you are lucky enough to catch an impromptu acoustic set is worth the stop on its own. Their Facebook page is updated frequently with the bands that are playing and their hours of operation too. But do yourself a favor and stop in and grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere. P.S. The sweatshirts they sell are probably the most comfortable you will find. Try one on and thank me later. I keep mine in my office at work all year long.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and accommodate both small and large groups. The well equipped bar also has some innovative cocktails (served with a signature steal spike) and large selection of beers. Our kids love it too because they have a great game area. I like their signature old fashion and Margherita, and I especially like their mint smash burger (no mint in it!) and various tacos, and they also serve a great fish fry. Make sure to grab a complimentary chocolate mint served as you exit the spotless bathrooms.

But we are out…read more A few weeks back we entered a bit before 7pm The look on the greeters face was like "oh not more people" .. but there were only 3 active tables with one other finished. Turned out sour lady was also the server. Very unwelcoming The food was so bad I sent it back. The "smothered" pulled pork (the menu's description) had a squirt of sauce and was not hot - not warm even. As my husband was eating I just cancelled. The robotic manager said he wouldn't charge me !! ... seriously I didn't even bite into the sandwich. I joked he could reuse the bun. He offered a dessert. I'm not going to eat a dessert for dinner. I declined. Such a beautiful remodel of an old bar. A shame the food and service just don't hold up.

We also picked up a bag of day-old bagels--fresh and absolutely delicious.

Poor waitress seemed embarrassed that they were closing early. This isn't the first time this has happened to us while we have been there. They are lazy and decide to close while paying customers are in the building actively eating and drinking. The girls that work there are friendly and do their best. The owners should find a new line of work. I have heard them be extremely condescending to the girls that work there as well as customers. Horrible business practice.

It's not quite in "the best I've ever had" category, but I come from Chicago so I'm a pizza snob. I also like the pizza sticks. These are similar to pizza, but they are cut into thin like strips or sticks. Maybe due to the fact that it's finger food they don't have sauce on them and you're supposed to dip them in marinara. It's similar to pizza yet a little different. I also highly recommend the chicken Caesar salad and the nachos are good as well. The red and green salsa are good; however, I recommend the green. A nice beach, volleyball court, and boat docking facilities are available.
