Enjoy fine dining with a beautiful water view sunset. We are very proud of our exquisite restaurant and full liquor lounge, tucked within our 1926 lodge building. Please note that we are constantly adding specials to reflect the catch of the day and other market-dependent delicacies.

About the restaurant
Restaurant Bonjour, formerly "Mimi's Cooking", was bought by Bernard Massuger in May of 2013. Bernard has known Marie Michelle, owner of Mimi's, for over 40 years. He has kept the same beloved menu for his loyal customers.

From Normandy France, he has owned several top rated restaurants in New York City and worked in some of the most exclusive restaurants in the US. He takes great pride in ensuring his guests have a true French experience and enjoy the love of French food.

Listen to Bernard speak passionately, in true French fashion, about the calf's liver with a guest who is deciding between it and the veal chop. Watch as he parades his pride and joy, Tarte Tatin, to eager guests.

Dining in Restaurant Bonjour is much like enjoying a meal in a small café in Paris.

We offer a variety of wine, Bordeaux, Pauillac, St. Emilion, to name a few.

We went on a Tuesday and it was quiet. The food was outstanding as usual (we have been to the restaurant maybe six times in the last six months) and have introduced several of our friends to the it. Food portions are generous and really excellent-lots to select from a wide menu. And drink prices are very good. And above all, excellent service every time.
