| - OK is exactly how I would describe my experiences here. My recommendation would be to make a reservation and plan to arrive a little early and enjoy your first cocktail at the bar. We did this on our very first visit and had a wonderful experience. The bartender was super friendly with us and we chatted for the entire time we sat at the bar. We had dirty martinis and a shrimp cocktail (yum). During our time there, he poured us small samples of a few different drinks he had made for other diners and continued the friendly conversation. Once we were seated, we ordered our entrees and another drink. My husband and I both like our steaks medium rare and while mine was perfectly cooked, his was far too well done. He shared this with our server and she swept his plate away, no questions asked, and returned with a complimentary drink for him immediately. His second steak was better, but still not quite as rare as he would prefer. We were also treated to ice cream drinks and a free dessert to go as apologies for his poorly cooked first plate. Really great service and a fun date night!
On our most recent visit, we arrived without a reservation and were told there would be a wait. The bar wasn't full at all so I assumed they expected us to grab a seat and order a drink. Being that I'm pregnant, we had no intention of doing that on this visit and the owner saw us standing around. He immediately told to hostess to seat us to a table near a window overlooking the late. We were both pretty confused once we were seated, as the restaurant was perhaps 1/3 full. My husband is convinced they were just hoping to get us to order a cocktail at the bar, but who knows! On this visit we both opted for ragin' cajun seafood dishes, salmon for me and walleye for him. My salmon was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The shrimp that came served over top were fine, nothing to write home about, but the sauce.... oh my. If you like a bold, rich flavor, you will love this creamy, delicious sauce. My husband loved the sauce and shrimp as well, but his walleye had what he continued to describe as inedible skin that he could neither scrape off or eat properly. Later on he mentioned it seemed scaley... So I imagine there were scales on his fish! I wish he would have said something, as I'm sure they again would have taken steps to ensure he received a more acceptable meal. I think he wasn't sure if perhaps it was normal and just didn't agree with him?
Overall, this is a decent spot for a nice meal by the lake. It's much more quiet than Tornado, Wonderbar, etc, so you will be more likely to get in without a reservation. However, the food seems to be good/just okay. Don't be shy to share with the servers if something isn't to your liking!
