   Great Easter brunch at GrandView! Perhaps the best brunch buffet ever! Great selections, always fresh foods, excellent service. Very happy to dine there!

   Loved the idea of the igloo, unfortunately Freddy’s under delivered this time around. We were celebrating a special birthday and called ahead to order a platter that needs 24 hours advanced notice. They seemed confused about this when we arrived and asked about it. Igloo was short two seats, (only had seating for 4) and our server never returned to help us so we had to get our own chairs. Restaurant was clearly under staffed and our server was doing her best in the situation, but we felt it. Thankfully we were only planning on happy hour, so we left without ordering any additional food/beverage after the first round. Felt overcharged for the experience we had. Probably would not return or recommend to a friend. Too bad as the setting has the potential to be magical.

   Cheese curds were fried to the point there was barely any cheese left in them. Steak salad with some weird flank steak.. not appetizing.

   We were at Grandview Lodge for the weekend and decided to book an Igloo. There were two options on how to book which was a bit confusing; "On the Rocks" and or "Freddys in the Igloo" which had we known more about the grounds it would've been an easy reservation to book. But, I excitedly booked the Igloo for sunset so we can be in the Igloo when the sun was setting on the lake. - upon arrival at On the Rocks we were not clear where to check in- finally made our way to the bar at which time the hostess told us "its not these Igloos" (which were by our cabin) "Its at Freddys across the road"- we made it over there 15 minutes late. We arrived it was very dark, really quiet and the Igloos were sitting there with no firepit or real ambience outside of the Igloo, as they had at On the Rocks. But upon entering it was very clear who to communicate with (unlike On the Rocks) - We had two people immediately greet us with a smile. They were so kind and happy- cheerfully brought us out to the Igloo where the heater inside didn't do much at all... (we were dressed for it tho and warm enough) We only ordered a small appetizer and drinks... Andrew was our waiter who was so amazing, checked on us often, keep our drinks coming! I would absolutely love to go here again, mostly because of the excellent service. Just make certain you are clear on which Igloos you are booking.

   Great location and view. Service was exceptionally good with one young waitress working very hard. Food was fast and good. Well managed for a Labor Day busy weekend.

   We only ordered 4 things and two of them were not edible. The beef tacos were really salty and the fish tacos were very over cooked. The chips and salsa and salad were fine but both would have been pretty hard to mess up.

   Service was fantastic. Food was just so so, I ordered a dinner salad and got mostly lettuce. Can't say much about OpenTable I couldn't modify my reservation and it was of no help in finding other restaurants. It allowed me to make a reservation at a restaurant that was closed for the night in question. Fortunately we discovered the problem before going and were able to find an alternative.

    The view was great…. The fish tacos were horrible…. They need to expand choices…. Clearly partially Covid related.
