Food scene
This small restaurant located right on the shore of Lake Superior provides consistent value and service. My favorite dish is the beef brisket. Reserve your spot around sunset, if possible. You won't be disappointed.
The bar and dining seating is limited and in demand. I highly recommend making a reservation!
