Between the food and the view, this is a must if you're in the area.

I was visiting northern Michigan for the first time and went with some family. We went in early June before most of the crowd had arrived for peak season, so we were seated right away.

The food was excellent and had many gluten free options, which was important for our party member with celiac.

Situated on the second floor overlooking Walloon lake, the expansive, mostly outdoor, porch seating was perfect for a sunset dinner. With full height garage doors to enclose the decks in colder weather, it looked like it would be a great year-round spot.
