- JJeanVIPBaja California Sur •12 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoBar Harbor is our favorite restaurant in the Gull Lake Area. It has an upscale vibe but definitely family friendly too. We enjoyed a great meal with the family last night and the server was so kind to our little grandchildren. Always a great experience.More infoBar HarborPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Lake Shore•4.4

- MMattIndiana •5 reviews5.0Dined on Jul 16, 2025The food was excellent including much needed vegetarian options that are missing in the lake country. The standard menu items were excellent as well. Service was excellent. They only note I would give was the Wagyu Ribeye was definitely not Wagyu. It had less marbling then standard steaks in most steak house. It was perfectly cooked and tasted great but the price was much too steep for what amounted to a standard ribeye. I would highly recommend the restaurant though as everything else was spot on.More infoIrma's KitchenPrice: Expensive• American• East Gull Lake•4.6
