Check out the deck in the summer time for good food, live music (Friday-Sunday), strong drinks , and of course, the cutest waitresses on the water!

Liz Engel

Reliable and open year round. Best for beef , ribeye is top notch. Summer fun on Tiki deck with bands on weekends.

If the butler Burger is the best burger in Michigan , I fear for the state of Michigan. Also the sangria is much too sweet. Otherwise totally adequate and great service.

Jay Smith

We had the Crab Stuffed Rainbow Trout , and also the Lobster Mac N Cheese . Both were delicious!

Alfredo Salazar

Fab perch . Great spot for 4th of July fireworks . Get ur food to go, eat in park and use bathroom guilt free.

The prime rib is the best. Very strong cocktails also. Be sure to tip your bartender .

Florentine flatbread is the bomb dig

If you order the "signature" ribeye , you might receive a sirloin instead. I did. It was good, but it definitely was not ribeye . Jeff talked me into not bringing the cook out to identify the steak .

Andy Drake

Going for the cod sandwich !

Jon B.

The hatch burger was excellent.

Joe Dwyer

Never disappoints, unless they run out of the prime rib special early.
