    This was our first meal at 876 but it won’t be our last. Everything from the cocktails, to the entrees and desserts was excellent. Our server was Grace and she was very welcoming and attentive. I could not decide between two entrees and after asking me a few questions, she made excellent recommendations. The chef is clearly very talented and uses local, in season ingredients. We look forward to having many delicious meals here!

    Great food every time! Chef is friendly and talented. Noise level can be high sometimes but this seems to be everywhere now days. Server was a bit short when we asked questions and when taking our order and was defensive when one in our group said the margarita was missing an ingredient or needed more orange liquor/flavor.

    The Walleye was cooked perfectly but the portions were small. Maybe if they included some slices of Baggett with dipping oil it would be even more satisfying!

    Incredible meal! Our wedding anniversary dinner was exquisite from the nachos to the tender, buttery halibut, the PERFECT med-rare burger, Georgie peach crisp and the BEST key lime pie I have ever tasted! Add the very best care by the chef himself and our fab sever Grace and we were so happy to have stumbled on this little gem:)

    Food was delicious. We made a reservation but still had to wait for our table for about 20 minutes as they were very busy. Our cocktails took even longer - but were also delicious. Deserts were yummy.

    This is our second time being there. We absolutely enjoy it. The food is fantastic! We’ve tried a few different things throughout our groups, and everything has been fabulous! The ladies that waited on us were pleasant, happy and did a great job checking on us and getting the food to us at a very reasonable length of time. The chef even came out and said hello to a number of the guests that were there.  Definitely a must! And we will be back very soon…

    Understaffed. We watched our drinks sit on the bar for at least 10 minutes and that was after 10 minutes of waiting for them to be poured. Our waters were never refilled. We ordered the baked Brie and blueberries appetizer. It was small but good. Our overworked server disappeared. Three of our four entrees sat on the counter for between 10 and 15 minutes before the fourth entree appeared. All were delivered by the host who simply handed them over the table to us. The plates were hot but the food ranged from cool to lukewarm. We had to use our drink napkins to clean off our Brie/blueberry encrusted knives. Our tab was $181 before tip. We didn’t order anything fancy. If they can’t fully staff they should either limit seating or shut down. We won’t be back.

    Excellent food; flavor explosions. The barbecue night (Wednesday) is especially good. The restaurant was busy and service was a bit slow, though the wait staff were doing their best. Noise level high, which was mostly the result of general busy-ness. There was one out of control child near our table - not the 876's fault - behaving badly and largely unchecked by the parent. Fortunately they left before too long. Overall a good experience and I strongly recommend 876 to others.

    Brought the whole family last night, BBQ was on the menu, delicious! There were 13 of us, including two little kids (loved the Baldwin Burger) and a baby on her first visit...great service, with a smile, and we all left smiling, too. Thankful Baldwin has a first class place to eat for my "first class" (:-) family ...

    This was a mixed bag, it was worth the drive. The food is different and we had mixed opinions. The nachos were Caribbean flair and not what was expected. They were ordered without black beans and came with them. The jambalaya isn’t traditional but I would order again! The burger was good, good reviews on the margarita pizza and mussels. Waitress was good and attentive, she was busy but kept up with the table.

    A great choice for that special dinner with your special friend! Great atmosphere reflecting the fly fishing past and present of this area. I highly recommend the Wednesday BBQ! It’s fairly priced and extremely tasty. The beans had an unexpected tasty fire. They were great! I used them as a sauce for the brisket! When in the Baldwin area be sure to treat yourself to dinner at 876!

    Stopped in for dinner, my wife had the Halibut with risotto and I had the parchment baked walleye with fingerling potatoes and green beans. Both meals were outstanding. The strawberry rhubarb crisp for desert was also amazing! Very well done!!
