Get the whitefish. Bread and pesto spread was delicious. I'd go back just for that! Sit and stay a while on their outdoor patio with a drink and watch the boats

Expect a fairly long wait, however enjoy great cocktails out back. Lobster bisque and rainbow trout were fantastic! Definitely worth the wait, just plan ahead because they do not take reservations.

The lobster bisque was out of this world! The views of Lake Michigan from the restaurant are awesome. Everyone was very friendly! Highly recommended!

Best burger I've ever had. They oil the bun and grill it. The bacon is homemade and tasted so good I didn't want any condiments on my burger. Wow.

The chicken quesadilla is incredible- I eat quesadillas everywhere but this may be the best one I've ever had! Their key lime pie is to die for, too!

This place has a nice environment with a nice view of bay. Food is overrated and overpriced. Rainbow trout was very mediocre. Service was outstanding. $70 dinner for one with wine. Crazy.

Just a heads up if you order the shrimp linguine the alfredo isn't that creamy, it tastes like butter and a little bit of cream...... Not good :(
Chris LambertAugust 17, 2011
Don't ask to sit on the deck, because they don't have one!!
