   The 3 items for $60 before 6:00 PM is an outstanding value. We appreciated that offering. The ambience and piano music playing in the background is very enjoyable. The whole experience was great.

   Food was very good….could have been served hotter but was flavorful. Wine list was limited. Location on lake is great. We were in Walloon Lake for 5 days and this was best meal of the trip

   Our server, Nicole was outstanding. The table was perfect for six people. At times, the piano was a little loud, but it worked out terrific.

    Overall, good food and exceptional view. For the price, I would expect everything to be perfect but the potatoes served with my lamb were wrinkled, as though they had be rewarded or something. Lamb was very good as was the heirloom salad. Just not exceptional.

    We have a place on the west arm of Walloon Lake. We had a 730 reservation and decided to take the boat down for the twenty minute boat ride. Cruising to dinner on the lake on a balmy northern Michigan September evening is hard to beat. At the Inn restaurant there was dock space available at their dock for an easy jaunt across the street right up to the front door. We were seated on the outdoor patio dining area. The view and ambiance were delightful. We ordered their signature cocktails, one Manhattan and an old fashioned. Drinks were spot on and a decent size. We ordered the calamari and the ahi tuna tartar appetizers. Both were delicious and the presentation was very artistic and enticing. For our entrees, we had the filet which was wonderfully cooked to a perfect medium rare with toasted polenta and broccolini. We finished the night by splitting the Hummer dessert cocktail. Great experience overall. The sunset during dinner was spectacular. After dinner, we motored back up the lake in the twilight under a waxing moon.

    The service and ambience were great. Patio overlooks the lake with a beautiful setting. However, the food is ok, not great. Two had white fish that was ok but not a lot of favor. One had braised short ribs that were ok, not the best, and one had wedge salad and gnocchi that was not great. Salad was with romaine and dressing watery and gnocchi was cold. They also need to offer a dish that is not fish or meat. A good pasta dish that is not an appetizer.

    We chose this great venue for our last day of work before retirement, as per every other visit, great table attention, food, venue, cooking, choices and ambience, I personally would go for 3 meals a day, that is close to being applicable for both of us There’s an idea to replace no more work ?

    This was our first time visiting the Walloon Lake Inn restaurant. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and the hostess and server were kind enough to recognize the event and even printed Happy Anniversary on our menu. Nice touch... Food was flavorful, well prepared and presentation was very appealing. The early dining special pricing was an added plus and supported my value of 5 stars. Based on our experience we will be dining here more often and look forward to excellent food and service.

    A Northern Michigan standard for a more upscale and formal experience. The Walloon Lake Inn never fails to deliver great food in a warm environment. Our food was great, service was attentive, wine pairing more than satisfactory. Our only concern was with what appeared to be skimpy salads. I ordered a wedge salad. In my experience, a wedge is generally 1/3-1/4 head of lettuce. This was more like a 1/4 of a 1/4 head. At $17 for a wedge salad, inflation be damned, that was a skimpy wedge in any economic environment. A special place for a special evening. Not a place for kids.

    I was still disappointed they did not have a table for us. It was my husband‘s birthday and I wanted to make it very special and I told you that three weeks ago when I made the reservations. Unfortunately it rained and we couldn’t sit outside and they had nowhere for us to sit inside when we arrived. They didn’t say wait until the table opens they just said there’s nowhere for you to sit. You can sit at the bar. So for my husband‘s birthday, we were so hungry we decided to sit at the bar and the piano music was so loud we couldn’t even talk to each other and the people coming in we’re standing around us watching what we’re eating. The bar made was excellent and gave us great service and the food was very good but this was not what I planned for my husband’s birthday. No one called to say you can’t sit outside because I would’ve gone somewhere else. Very disappointed
