The food is excellent, especially if you are a foodie. Great gourmet creations. You can eat cheaper at lunch. It’s a good idea to call ahead to make a reservation. The service doesn’t match the excellent food, but it’s worth it to try at least once. People travel far and wide to eat here. Make sure to try one of the desserts as they are lovely and tasty creations! Expect to spend more than $100 for two for dinner if you get appetizers, drinks & dessert.

One of our favorite places! Quaint, romantic and also family friendly. Great authentic Italian food with a lovely view of Lake Superior. Our favorite menu items -- Bisteca, Pasta di Estate, Artichoke Dip & the salads. Any dessert made by Mary Kay! It can get busy and seating is limited. They don't take reservations unless there are 6 or more. Hint: Arrive early at 4 or 4:30pm or get it to go and enjoy a picnic on the Lakewalk.

This is a must stop when traveling up the North Shore! Great food. The fish is usually fresh caught and a good item to order.
HINT: This is the place to buy your pies. Tourists flock to Betty's (once amazing, but now mechanically made). The Rustic Inn still hand makes all of their fabulous homemade pies! Favorites: Peanut Butter Pie, Pecan, North Shore Berry, Um, you really can't go wrong! : )

It’s a dive inside, but the food is good. On Saturdays it’s a fabulous deal — pay around $20 and it’s a “all you can eat” sushi, habatchi, and more. Sample a ton of things for a fraction of the cost.
