Great Lakes is such a cool , casual spot to take a friend. I love eating in the basement-- but seating is limited. The stone work is beautiful down there. The food is pretty good, I wouldn't say out of this world but would consider it quality "bar food." Definitely not a place I would go to if I were a vegetarian-- the sausage is good, yummy appetizers and I love the soft pretzels! I think I remember getting pierogies that I highly enjoyed as well.
Obviously a good beer selection and location! Sitting outside in the Summer is nice as well but be sure to make a reservation!
I gave it 4 stars because while the food is good, I have never been blown away by it.
