    Edit: we went back again and ordered the pizza, definitely upgraded to five stars based on the quality there. A medium pizza easily feeds three people, and it's a great, crispy thin crust. Diverse, simple menu with something that appeals to everyone (even puppies!), and daily specials. Even after a few drinks and a main, you can escape under $30 a head. The service is friendly and attentive.

    Where have you been my entire north shore life? Just moved here about 5 years back but holy smokes is this place a gem. Kids fished while the food was ordered and loved every minute. Staff was was ambiance is fantastic. Must sit on the patio. The million dollar boat for sale out front is a little over priced, don’t pay more than 800,000 for it.

    We ate outside on the terrace overlooking the harbor on a beautiful evening. Even though we got there fairly early on a Saturday evening (5:00) the tables were filling up. Our server was friendly and attentive even though it seemed there was a long wait between placing our orders and being served. The wait probably wasn't as long as it seemed but we had a 3 year old with us! When it arrived, the food was plentiful and tasty. The melted cheese nuggets were shared and we all ordered the Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches so I can't vouch for how anything else tasted.

    Fun place, gorgeous waitresses! Interesting food choices and excellent drink selection! The tropical atmosphere beside Lake Michigan makes for a relaxing experience.

    Uncrowded, so immediate seating at the "best seat in the house" out on the deck. Good classic bar sandwiches and midwest fried fare. Beautiful ambiance overlooking the harbor. Casual and quick with great service.

    The view and atmosphere was great. Our waitress was nice. I didn't really like their food. It just wasn't my type of food.

    Great view of the harbor on Lake Michigan... Great staff, who obviously enjoy working there... Great owner, who is out on the floor serving food as part of the team (and chatting up guests)... And very agreeable pricing

    I saw a shirtless, shoeless guy waltz through the restaurant too. I had the sliders. I am now indisposed in the bathroom feeling VERY ill. So unhappy about this. It was our happy place for outdoor dining but see other seated before us, the shirtless, shoeless guy, feeling like I have been beaten with a bat in my tummy, sadly, we cannot go there anymore 😳🥹The only good thing was the overworked waitress. She really tried. Prices and up charges are INSANE.
