Staff was friendly but it was very uncomfortable when we checked in.. the first thing they asked my party was how long we were going to take to eat (like how would we even know) and then it just seemed very obvious that they were trying to get us to finish as quickly as possible.

For great food, attentive, but not pushy, service -you can’t beat Summer Place. Gorgeous view of downtown and the lake, plus a dozen trees regaled in vibrant lights that brighten up the view to the north-west. This is on our short list for a reliably wonderful meal.

Food was fresh and tasty. Our first time there for lunch. Many choices, it was difficult to choose which meal to try . We will be going again. We sat by the window looking out over the city skyline, very nice.

Great brunch menu. Food was excellent - the cinnamon bun was sinfully good. Service was perfection. The non-alcoholic beverage choices, for those who do Dry January, was great. The noise level was minimum even though it was fairly crowded.

Terrific New Year's Eve experience and dinner at Summer Place. It was a special prix fixe menu and they did a great job with each course and the service was also terrific. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that one person in our party requires gluten free. We called in advance to confirm that their prix fixe menu accomodated gluten free (3 of the 5 courses were noted as gluten free on teh menu, when we arrived). The two courses that didn't note gluten free were the salad course (that may have been a typo because they were able to provide the same salad for our gluten free friend) but there was no gluten free desert. It seemed like an oversight on a terrific menu and evening. Kudos to the chef and Summer Place team for a lovely evening. We hope there is a full gluten free menu option in future years because we'd enjoy returing.
