Nau-ti-gal

Went here for Sunday brunch once, it was very busy so hostess made us wait which is normal and said we could eat at the bar once it was available. We waited 30 minutes and a new group walked in and got seated immediately. We asked her why she gave them seats instead of us and no answer. Unbelievable, unprofessional jokers have no idea how to run a business. Do not eat here if you actually like to go to a place to eat because they most likely won't serve you.

It was made clear to me upon entering that I was personally not welcome here. I had come as part of a large group for my mom's birthday. I was the first to arrive and was snubbed by the bar staff. Basically the impression I got is that it was too good of a restaurant for someone like me. But I stayed for my mom's sake. Food was alright. But personally this place left me with a sour feeling. I'll never come back. Clearly they only want high class customers.

Four of us ate here for Sunday brunch. Heather waited on us; she was very attentive and friendly. There was SO MUCH to choose from. A large variety of salads, omelettes made to order, New England Clam Chowder (delish), French toast, many "dinner" type dishes, shrimp, salmon, etc. Plus a literal dessert bar.... desserts spread along the bar. You can eat outside or inside. We spent hours catching up with friends we hadn't seen for a while. It's pricey and special occasion-ish. Some in our party objected to the styrofoam bowls for the chowder. Overall, they don't seem to be paying close attention to aesthetics and they could use a little updating. But the setting is peaceful, especially outdoors in view of the water.

The brunch buffet was good. The dessert bar was even better. Im not big on sweets but my goodness! The service could have been a little more prompt and friendly but everyone has their days. The place was very busy so get there early or come at the later end of Brunch. We left around 1230 and the place was just dying down. This place is amazing in the summer if you are looking for good food and outdoor seating.

Very long wait for a table, another wait for ordering, but food came soon. Ordered "baby walleye" on menu with quotes, described as "like perch" but 3 wait staff couldn't tell what fish it was. This "mystery fish" was very bland, certainly not worth the $19, which is a price for real walleye. Later learned it was Zander fish. Friends BBQ pork was good.

We've been to this restaurant several times over the last few years but haven't been in while and I'm not sure what happened but seems to have shifted from a pretty decent place for lunch or dinner into a dive. It's stuck somewhere awkwardly in the middle. This is the only photo I have from tonights dinner only because I found the side of raw cookie dough with my salad quite entertaining 😂😂
