All of my favorite things: dog friendly, vegan friendly, excellent customer service. Charming location with lovely view of the lake. My wife and I stopped by on a beautiful July night and sat at a bench with our dogs, gazing out at the lake. There was no music that night, so the place was mellow. We shared the Roasted Sweet Corn Salad, Sweet & Spicy Tofu Salad, and a meatless Beyond Italian Sausage. Portions are relatively light, ideal for summer al fresco dining. All the employees were welcoming and friendly, and worked hard to maintain the pleasant atmosphere, relighting candles and torches, wiping down tables, checking in. The setup is great: you go inside and order food, then someone brings it to your table outside, so you don't need to flag anyone down for a check.

I didn’t know what to expect. No reservations. Seat yourself, any open table. Order & pay inside and take a number to your table. They’ll bring the order once it’s ready. I love the beachy atmosphere! You sit under a canopy of trees and cafe lights, looking out onto beautiful Lake Michigan, clouds, sun, water. Just beautiful! Btw, there is no indoor seating; the only thing that’s inside is the kitchen and bathrooms. Every order was flavorful and filling. The chicken salad had big chunks of chicken, walnuts, and cranberries. It was not swimming in mayonnaise. My two favorites were the Jerk Chicken Nachos and Blackened Cajun Shrimp Roll. There was plenty to share with the nachos. Just alittle heat added for a very tasty shareable dish. The Blackened Cajun Shrimp Roll also had some heat balanced out with a sweet lemon caper aiol. The New England grilled buttered bun is also an unsung hero of this sandwich. Mmmmm….so good! We also had ordered drinks: piña coladas, margaritas, and cold beers. Bottom line: this is a great outdoor place to pass an afternoon or evening. Very casual, low stress. The views are wonderful. I love the natural surroundings. It makes you think you’re at the beach. Just go. You won’t have white linen and stemmed goblets, but you’ll love it all the same.

I loved the food. I had such a fun and quiet time here. Great customer service ! The menu is really good,it has a unique touch. The flavors are amazing ! And the view… you can’t beat the view. (Although I wish the menu had more choices)
