"Food was delicious, and our server was sweet enough to send us off with cupcakes. A bit of a wait thanks to a new cook, but we didn't mind. The soul of the old building kept us entranced and happy. Looking forward to returning!"

"It was a great atmosphere, people were having a blast. A birthday party was going on, plus people in general was having fun. The appetizers were so-so, but great after work place to meet friends or have a cozy dinner with your significant other."

"Stopped by here on a little solo trip for dinner. The whitefish sandwich was one of the best I have ever had, and being from Northern Michigan, that means something. I ate outside so I cannot say much about the indoor dining experience, except it looked like it had lots of character when I went inside briefly. My server (I did not catch her name) was excellent and timely, even though I decided to dine outside in the very hot..."

"Food was amazing. Special was a baked potato sandwich. So good! Atmosphere was good. A few drunks being loud at the bar, but never bothered anyone. There is a separate family dining side, we sat in the bar since we rode our motorcycle there. Friendly staff."

"Larry and daughter Sam were great servers and hosts. And the food was great! The potato skins had the most amazing dip with it. And the bootlegger burger was quite savory. This place has a lot of history and makes legendary food. Keep at it! We'll be back."

"If you are interested in a classy dining experience with an old house, old hotel vibe. This place is a great option. Service was mediocre. We waited a little while, but did not mind with the live piano music in the background. We were in the fine dining area, but they had the door open to the bar. I believe a sports game was on, so we heard cheers from them while eating in a classy environment. I’d advise them..."

"Great historic place for beers for small crowds. They have a few on tap, a few in bottles, and a few in cans. Very neat place to hang out. They have a restaurant which we will try the next time we visit. The food smelled delicious and the atmosphere is an awesomely restored and kept historic environment. The employees were very polite and very attentive during our visit for a couple of cold beverages. It is worth the visit, if..."
