No complaints from either group! Portions were decent sized, feeding our hunger pangs for this meal & the next. Some of choices included the house poutine, skillet lasagna, marry me Alfredo, the filet, & yooper Wellington. Everything tasted great. Highly recommend the Wellington. It had a flaky, buttery crust wrapped around a tender, melt in your mouth filet. Save room for dessert. I don't care for bread pudding... Their cherry bread pudding changed my mind! It was delicious!!! It was like the combine the crispy parts of a cobbler with the soft gooey of a warm bread pudding, warmed it and then topped it with sweet cherries and vanilla ice cream!

The evening we were there they had small bluegrass type band that were a little loud for the smallish dining room, but it was very nice to have entertainment. Our waitress was working her butt off and was a little short at first, but was friendlier as our evening went on. I absolutely loved the French Onion Soup. Definitely in my top 5! For my main meal I ordered the Yooper Wellington which sounded so good I had to try it. The problem I had (which was clearly stated in the menu) was that the meat was cooked rare. Thought I could handle "rare" but turns out I couldn't handle this rare! Ended up taking a lot home... so I could cook it a little more! Nothing wrong with the flavor, it was just not my thing! I'm sure if I ordered anything else this would be a 5 star review because it was a nice place and I enjoyed everything else.

But we waited at the hostess station a very long time before anyone came by and asked us if we wanted a table. The staff would just walk by and turn their heads ignoring us. The staff did look very busy but that's not an excuse for ignoring your customers. We finally got a table and the waiter was initially friendly but then wouldn't come back and see if we needed anything. When he passed our table he was turning his head so you couldn't get his attention. I ordered a quesadilla that was basically a burrito lying flat on its side. It had a lot of meat but almost no cheese in it. It tasted fine but it isn't what I expected when I ordered a quesadilla. When we were finally ready to go, I had to get my own to-go box because our waiter kept ignoring us. We finally got the bill and I waited again to try and pay and (again) the waiter wouldn't come back. Fortunately I had just enough cash to cover the food with a $2 tip. And frankly, the service was so bad I shouldn't have even left $2. This is a good example of a restaurant that look shiny and nice. but is actually pretty terrible.

My 20 min drive from Marquette took almost an hour to get home. I was lost in the thick forest in darkness! Beware of possible loss of service for your phone. Besides that! Our waitress was really great. Friendly and fun! It was a stressful evening because one of the other waitresses got hurt and had to leave, our waitress was very open and honest that she was working extra tables to help out... and we barely noticed! My wife and I heard the ribs were great here and they didn't disappoint. The side salad was amazing! And I loved the gigantic glasses they served their drinks in! The restaurant is really unique. It looks like a giant cabin and fits the north woods feeling really well. Lots of wood everywhere! Separate bar area with TVs if that's what you're looking for. The bar has seating and multiple tables, otherwise the dinning area is an open area with maybe 8 tables. Worth the trip.... Except the trip home!

We're from out of town, so who knew. They have outside seating which is a plus. Drinks came quickly. Nice beer menu! We ordered the fish and chips and corned beef with cabbage. The fish was hot, crispy, nicely breaded and excellent. Fries were average. The corned beef was served with grilled cabbage, carrots and mashed potatoes. The beef was tender and flavorful. The carrots just done and sweet. The potatoes are the worst mashed potatoes we've experienced in our lifetime. Dry, tasteless and I'm assuming made without the addition of butter, cream, salt or pepper. Sorry, this resulted in a star loss. They really were inedible. Our waitress was inattentive. Once the meal was served she kinda forgot about us. We had to wave her down for the check.

The service is always great, food is always hot, and the kitchen/restaurant is always clean. The dishes are made differently from other restaurants with an influence from southern Italy where the owners Grandmother was from. The baked pasta is a mix of savory, well seasoned, and yummy pasta and a hot dish. Perfect for after a ski trip or rainy day. I am also a fan of the antipasto salad. It has a great crunch, tastes fresh, and is cold (feeling like they prepare it and bring it out right away). Honestly, I ate too much because it was so good . This last trip, Heaven, was our waitress. She was friendly, personable, and had an excellent memory for our experience. All of our food came out hot and together. The restaurant was packed full of people. Highly recommend for anyone staying, stopping, or existing in town.

Another let down is the view. So close to beautiful Lake Superior, yet the only view is of a dirty power or water treatment plant.

I put malt vinegar and the tartar sauce on it but still no real flavor or spice. The fries were good but soon everything just tasted the same. The Cole slaw was a chopped kale salad in a little ramekin with little dressing. I think it was supposed to be a vinaigrette but was so light I could not taste much...... again very bland. My husband's fish tacos were also very bland. No spice, no sour cream, no cilantro. Just some fish and cabbage like slaw. He too was disappointed. The service was very good and the draft beer was also great. That's the only reason for 3 stars.
