We had a larger family dinner here the other night and everything was great, the service was very kind and attentive. The view was amazing and the food was really good. I had a Caesar salad without the specified anchovies and added a steak skewer. The steak was less cooked than what I normally would like but I didn’t specify what I wanted either and it still was good. I had the Michigan mojito (x2) and while the taste was amazing, I felt nothing from it, almost like they forgot to add alcohol to it. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 was based on kid-friendliness. While I was able to find something for my kids to eat, there was no menu for them, so I couldn’t see anything, I had to hope they had something and pick it on the fly when I asked while ordering. They also didn’t have any kid cups or lids, so I was on edge the whole meal making sure my toddler didn’t spill her drink. Like I said, everything else was fantastic and I feel it wouldn’t take much to add the kids options on to the menu and have some kid friendly cups to improve the guest experience.

4 stars for atmosphere- they have old table and chairs outside and not cleaning up that well. It would be 5 stars if they updated outside patio to match the quality of resturant then be 5. The service was okay food- plating was poor and especially for kids meals. Kids burger doesn’t even come with fries or anything- fries 4 dollars more. Wallet was okay but not much taste for 45 dollars. Still a historic gem and that’s why it’s busy.

Delicious food and great service with an awesome view of the lake channel! The super nice people that work here were able to get us a nice table for our anniversary with just a few minutes wait when there was a line out the door (they don't do reservations). Everything that we ordered was delicious! We especially liked the seafood chowder, French onion soup, and fish and chips made with whitefish. My wife was a fan of the escargot. Service was quick and friendly.

Got here at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon in June. There was a table available right away on the deck overlooking the channel, so we sat there and enjoyed the views. It was interesting to watch the passing boats and see the drawbridge in action. We ordered the walleye sandwich, steak salad, and a kids pizza meal. The food was all great and prepared properly. Service was fine. Definitely recommend this if you're able to dine on the deck.

Absolutely beautiful spot from head to toe. A little rustic modern, nautical theme. The views everywhere are spectacular. Extremely large upstairs and downstairs dining rooms and a nice patio overlooking the watervane. The food came out extremely hot and perfectly cooked. For how fancy this place was you don't need to break the bank to dine here. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling newr Charlavoix.
