This restaurant is underrated. I am here in vacation so I only got to enjoy their food once, but if this restaurant would be in Michigan I would eat here everyday. The food was the tastiest I have ever had in a restaurant.

First time there. Great vibe, reservation was right on the dot, if you get there early you can hang out at the bar and they’ll come get you. Food was great (tenderloin and lobster tail and lemon salmon). Both were flavorful. Service was great and always checking-in and refilling our waters. Great experience and comes with the price but I’d say worth it.

Great food. The parking is all on street parking which is expected for downtown, but it was tough trying to figure out where to park. It was quiet on this day and the service seemed to be very casual.

We had a wonderful dinner at Log Haven! I had the filet and it was delicious and so tender. My husband had the shrimp and said it was really good and full of flavor! We had the maple crème brûlée and highly recommend it. The service was great and the restaurant is so cozy and nice!
