"Things took a personal touch when the piano player came over to greet us; he recognized us from a previous visit and offered to play our wedding's first dance song. It was shaping up to be a lovely evening at Smokeys. However, the mood shifted when we received the bill. My husband had ordered a Manhattan made with Angels Envy, a drink he has enjoyed for years at some of the finest steakhouses across the country. To our shock, we discovered that one Manhattan was priced at $31. My glass of wine was $9. We could hardly believe it; I can purchase a bottle of Angels for just $34, and I’ve never paid more than $18 for a drink in the North Woods. We approached the bartender to verify the bill, and he seemed a bit uneasy as he said, “Didn’t the other bartender inform you of the price before she made it?” We replied that she hadn’t. After that, we didn’t want to escalate the situation and spoil the rest of our evening, but unfortunately, it cast a shadow over our dinner. The meal itself was excellent, as it always is, but we left feeling dissatisfied. Had we been informed of the drink's price, we would have chosen something else. We’ve celebrated our anniversary at Smokeys for the past few years, and we’ve always received a complimentary dessert in recognition of our special day—but this time, no dessert was offered. I seldom leave reviews, but I had hoped the bartender would address the bill issue since the other bartender failed to inform us of the high price of Angels. We’re more than willing to pay reasonable prices as long as we know what to expect. We didn’t want to drive 45 minutes for such an experience. Overall, I would rate the food at 4, the service at 4, and the atmosphere at 4."
