    Crème brûlée- vanilla bean
    Maureen B.

    We have reviewed this restaurant many times. This is a review just to say it once again how great their food is here. We had our traditional favorites. We tried two new dishes today. The garden party salad and the crème brûlée. Both were spectacular. We still love their vegetarian highlights here and hope they keep many on the menu. The service staff is nothing but spectacular as well. The overall vibe here is cozy in their booths. We will return again.

    This place was fantastic. Really interesting historic building with cool decor and a great bar. Parking nearby. Menu with something for everyone; classic options along with some different, more adventurous stuff if so inclined. I enjoyed my halibut, as well as the salmon I had a few bites of -- it was perfectly cooked. I was super impressed with the risotto. Awesome flavor and the chicken was so well-seasoned. They have a solid cocktail list here, too. Friendly service and great food will have us coming back to try more! Our only gripe was that the olives appetizer should come with more bread :P

    After seeing good reviews and getting local recommendations, I stopped by here for a solo business lunch and seated myself in the upstairs open-air area. Numerous tables along the railing were reserved, but I was able to locate an open table. I ordered the salmon dip and crackers for an appetizer and the BLT with Gouda from the limited but well-discounted happy hour menu. The salmon dip came out after my entree, but it was still enjoyable, with plentiful cool, fresh dip and crispy, fresh crackers. The BLT + G sandwich was delicious, but the hand-cut French fries had some soggy ones. Low top bar and booth seating. Full bar upstairs/ downstairs and restrooms upstairs/downstairs. Great views with a fresh breeze. Excellent, friendly service. Lovely table setting with linen-like paper napkins. High-end dinner menu items like tomahawk and wagyu steaks. 20% auto gratuity for parties of 6 or more but no credit card use fee. Very clean. I would like to return for dinner in the future .

    I'm super glad this place has a new owner. It's breathing some fresh new life into this place. The food was delicious and I'll be back to try some more. Can't complain about much of our experience. Only complaint is the duck and really that's just a personal preference. I'm not a fan of the half duck with a leg and thigh. It's just too hard to eat. Especially in an upscale environment. The flavor was definitely on point. Very well balanced and a very generous portion. We have been going to this place for years and can't wait to see what else they have to offer. 100% will be back for more.

    Whenever I'm in town, I truly love visiting this establishment not only do they have vegan options. The staff is always incredibly friendly. I do love the rustic feel of the establishment. Now from what I observed, when you first entered the establishment there is a set of stairs, which, if you are someone who is wheelchair-bound or who uses a walker this may be difficult however they may be another entrance to get to the upper level. I didn't see a elevator, but it looks like there is stairs. However, once you get to the main level, it's wheelchair accessible. For my dining experience today I opt it for the vegan sweet potato croquettes. The brussels sprouts were absolutely delicious and I opted for a side of asparagus, absolutely divine.

    Whenever you travel to Port Huron, this is a must-good restaurant. The decors inside is vintage like the name, but the must see is the view from the rooftop dining area. Not only is there a beautiful view but the drinks and good are made well also. The service this time was fast and the prices is within reason.

    The food was very good. The service was great. The upstairs was very nice. Down stairs looked equally as nice. I am glad with picked upstairs the weather and views were great!!!!

    Ratatouille confit with steak bites. Outstanding. Chef nailed the flavor.
    Shela M.

    Absolutely outstanding! What a great location with a beautiful deck, which is our preferred seating area when the weather is nice. The service is outstanding with knowledgeable and friendly staff who can walk you through the menu and take you on a tour of flavor experience to help you order! But obviously the star is the food. I have the ratatouille which is absolutely phenomenal... especially with the steak bites added! Although I think I would've prepared it with the chicken. People underestimate the power of ratatouille, but the Chef understood the assignment and created the absolutely most perfect ratatouille I've ever had. It's one of my most favorite dishes and is not often found on menus so when I see it, I get it... And this hit all the notes. Although it's a peasant dish from France, it's elevated in the most spectacular ways based on Chef's preparation. It takes you back to the most comforting dish you had as a child while reminding you that it's a fine dining experience.

    Is the roof seating currently open? What is the season for the rooftop seating here? Would we have to book to secure a rooftop spot?

    The roof area is open only on Friday & Saturday nights during the winter months. Reservations are available for groups of 6 or more only.

I've been there a few times now and what I observe is people eating not people enjoying a unique tasty meal with water views. I saw people eat and leave quickly without really enjoying their meal. Based on our meals, what I saw coming out of the kitchen and how fast it came out, Freighters must be serving a lot of frozen product, basically pub food. The cheese curds were the saddest, greasiest one I ever had (they were squares not curds) and hit the trash when we got home. Service was good. Not sure what the answer is. Perhaps it is just the taste of the people in the area...they like what they like. The Entrees on the menu were somewhat diverse and it looks like they are trying to upscale a little. We vacation to the thumb area often and finding good dining even good pub dining is very challenging.
