    This is probably one of the best restaurants in NE MI.  It is in Lincoln, Proper.  They have a salad bar and a renowned soup called "Mushroom Bisque".  I love that soup!
    Their specialties are pizza, upscale meals and faithful staff.  They have allowed various non-profit groups,  fundraisers that really bring the community together, i.e. Alcona Humane Society, Sports Team  and even family fundraisers  
    I had an awesome salad there recently .

    Not impressed with this restaurant at all .... the food was barely passable, the advertised price was changed with the explanation "Oh, I just didn't have a chance to change the board." The waitress had way too many tables and while she did her best, including bussing and collecting the check .... the service was terrible. Not her fault, just poorly managed. We won't be back.

    A fun neighborhood restaurant and bar with good food. The down to earth atmosphere makes it comfortable place whether you're with family or friends celebrating the weekend.

    My husband and I went in for a lunch around 1:30 and upon entering the waitress said sit anywhere you like so we went on into the next room and the waitress there said you have to sit at the bar, we're having a party of 30. You mean to tell me the other waitress didn't know this. The tables weren't even set up for a party. They couldn't seat 2 well dressed married man and woman for lunch!!. Had to sit at the bar by 2 other older men who looked like they had been there drinking awhile. No thanks and as we walked past the small portable meezly salad bar my husband pointed out the flies!!!!  I'd hate to see that kitchen!!!! Will not be back there ever.

    We were recommended to this local restaurant from one of the volunteers at Craftmakers Cabin and it didn't disappoint! We went on a Friday during an all-You-can-eat whitefish event. My husband and I each had the French onion soup (which we thought was a little watery, but hot and yummy) and the whitefish (we ordered it pan fired, with the garlic mash).

    The food was amazing and the service was excellent! There was a long wait, but this is apparently a popular place, so we expected that and were patient and made some new friends.
