We are proud to offer a new chef inspired menu and patio dining on Gull Lake. Our bar features new spins on classic cocktails, a wonderful wine list, and local beers on tap. Our mission is to offer a quality, contemporary dining experience while continuing to honor the tradition and collective memories of the last 70 years. We draw inspiration from seasonality, “shrinking-world” global flavors, our hard working local food providers and we strive to produce quality with a playful spirit.

    Best Walleye I have had in years! Sat in the dining room and was surprised how great the view of the lake is there. We will be back.

    Very disappointed to see the menu has gone downhill over the years. Pretty sure the walleye was a pre-breaded frozen and reheated fillet served with miracle whip tartar sauce. “Sweedish” Meatballs were room temperature and flavorless. The ambience is amazing and the service was very friendly. Dining room was deserted at 7pm on Friday.

    The food was good with a limited menu - lots of burgers. We had smash burgers and they were good but very messy. we ended up eating them with a fork. The cocktails were delicious. The service was slow. I think they were understaffed. The salads came with the burgers instead of before. We will try it again.

    Walleye was bland without the tartar sauce. Meatball crostini needed to be warmer. Table bread was yummy. Fiery burger was tasty. Wing with buffalo sauce was also good. Waitress was excellent.
