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.

The Lambrusco was served cold which I would not recommend. The bar tender and hostess were friendly however our server was pretty shy but she was cute at least. I don't think she knows what vinegar and oil is because I asked for that as my salad dressing but she said they didn't have that.

Our 4th pasty in our quest to compare and consume…read more Jean Kay's is a teeny tiny shop on a side street and can barely hold 6 people in front of the register. There are a few more options for pasties here, including chicken and broccoli, and dessert flavors. Their beef pasty is different than all the other pasties we tried, as they use flank steak. As is traditional, potatoes, onions, and rutabaga were the other ingredients. This was the first pasty I tried where I could see the onions, so I picked them out when I came across them (my kryptonite). The steak was a little chewy, and the seasoning was almost undetectable. Also, the pastry, although well baked, fell apart after a few bites. To be fair, though, we waited probably a good 30-45 minutes to eat it. This wasn't my favorite pasty, but I wouldn't mind returning to try a chicken and broccoli and a dessert one. Maybe on my next trip up north. 21/2025

The ambience to the restaurant was nice and it felt clean and updated inside. I can't recall the exact price of everything, but I do recall that everything was priced as I would expect. Definitely not overpriced and everything was in line with the average rate. All the food was great. The cheeseburger was great including the bun. Sometimes you don't do so well with those. Someone else got macaroni and cheese which was awesome. I actually was a little surprised that it tasted so good because that is an always so great and restaurants. The pizza got great reviews by people. And a few other males did well. The couscous meal was ok. Now for the people. I will acknowledge that finding help these days is very difficult post pandemic. There was a younger teenage girl working as the hostess. While she may be young, somebody really does need to train her on customer service. She initially told us that they were waiting for two table tops of 16 even though the two tables of 16 had already been seated. She told us that we would not be able to eat for an hour but we cannot get a table for another hour and a half. Obviously this doesn't make any sense. You have to have a table 1st and then you can eat. She told us it would take an hour and a half for the six of us to be seated even though there were plenty of tables open. The thing that makes this bad, is even if she was totally mistaken, and totally wrong, she was very rude the entire time. There was no smile, her tone of voice was pretty crabby, and she definitely did not make you feel like she was going to do anything to try to make it work for you. She seemed somewhat grouchy and irritated that you were coming in to eat. I would have no issue if she had said this and clearly been wrong, but her tone of voice and everything about her customer service was wrong. She did not appear friendly and definitely did not smile or look like she was trying to accommodate. She presented like a sulky teenagers. After giving a few solutions to the hostess of how we could use one of the several open tables available, she finally figured out how we could be seated immediately since there were so many tables open. We ended up being served by Thale, Who is a total gem. She saved the meal. The server was not only nice, polite, and friendly, she was humble and made you feel welcome. A far cry from the hostess a few feet away. The server was on top of her game, refilling drinks, and stayed very on top of our meal to make sure that we had everything we needed. She was charming and made the meal awesome. I would definitely come here again and I would hope that somebody in management considers talking to their hostess about how to provide better customer service. Other than that, everything else was great. The server should be acknowledged for her friendly and outgoing attitude. The food is great so nice job to the cooks on the line.

Let's start off by our server coming to our table without introducing herself or welcoming us. But…read moresimply just said "what do you want!". If that was any indication to what the rest of the meal was like we should've left then. So we came in for a Friday Fish Fry. We ordered two Walleye's and one Perch Fish Fry. And to say that our fish was burnt is understatement. Please see photos of the madness. We immediately asked for the entree's to be recooked. They brought out our fish a second time and at least they didn't look burnt but there is a reason. They were undercooked. Not completely raw but undercooked. At this point just don't serve any more Fish. You obviously can't prepare it correctly. The manager explained "that it looks dark because of the spices in the batter". Cause that's a reason why food looks and tastes burnt. We paid, left a tip and went to another restaurant in Iron Mountain to wash away the taste of what we just experienced. I know this resort is up for sale and all I can say is to the new owner willing to pay the $4million price tag. Please focus on this restaurant and kitchen experience immediately.
