"What a great place and im kind of picky, a little but if a food snob. Pleasantly surprised! The staff was extremely pleasant (I watched them interact with each other, not just customers) and had precise, spot on knowledge of the menu. I believe Rachael was my server. The cocktail was delicious (not too strong but not watered down) and the cocktail menu innovative I had a raspberry lemon Prosecco. I then had a great pasta dish, on the recommendation of my server. Chicken was cooked to perfection. I normally steer clear of ordering chicken in a restaurant because cooking it properly challenged a lot of chefs. The sauce on my pasta was a light but deep/complex balsamic, mushroom and was sparing but tasty, not overwhelming. The menu is diverse I usually have one or two options I’d like, here I had to choose from 4 and now I have to come back to try the others!"

The food and service were excellent. We had an herb mushroom chowder, and it was delicious.

I had a veggie burger, fancy but patty not hot. Cheesecake was not real cheesecake, thin layer of jam, on thin layer of fluff, on layer of yellow cake. Fortunately it was very small.
Debbie
Prices very high.$13 for a Caesar salad all it was is lettuce croutons and cheese not even Chicken on it. If you don't mind paying a lot for dinner it's a good place to go. Their food is good.

I love their vegan burgers and that you can get all kinds of different topping combos with them! As others have said this is the best place to get veg food in Alpena. I come here every summer. This time I had the black bean portobello patty with flarebanks toppings(no cheese). My server Sarah was great and knew what vegan meant

was quite surprised to see how many options could be made on the menu vegan. the vegetarian elements on the menu are listed with a the ambiance is really beautiful and they have outside seats. our house made pinto buzz and chalk veggie burger and burrito were delicious and our server was very friendly and helpful. they do not have many vegan options in north michigan, so it was a beautiful surprise.
