Such a special dining experience. I treated a friend who has never been. She loved it!! My only thought, the choice of background music seemed a little to …… sad. Maybe there is another option? This summer we treated out of town guest and they loved the experience, but did comment on the music. This will not keep us away. Just a comment. Thank you!

Wonderful dining experience. This was our second time dining at Walloon Lake Inn. We did the 3 course meal for $60, which is unbeatable when it comes to quality and price. The Roasted Root Vegetable and Goat Cheese Salad was incredible.

Great dining experience as always at Walloon Lake Inn! We dined with another couple and all four of us ordered something different. Each dish was delicious! We ordered truffle fries, calamari, beet salad, fish, pasta and two different steaks. Everyone was satisfied with their choices. Dessert was also great. Crème brûlée and turtle cheesecake are a must. The service was impeccable as usual. We will be returning!

The Walloon Lake Inn never disappoints. We love this place. The staff are amazing. They all work together to be sure your experience is top notch. The Manager Melissa is always active on the floor doing whatever is necessary for an enjoyable meal. Kate was our server. She was very kind and attentive. Kayla behind the bar always has a smile with exceptional service. Last but not least the legendary piano man “Doc” sets the scene with incredible talent on the keyboard.

Great overall experience. Love WLI. Really liked the 3/$60 deal and as usual drinks and food were outstanding. Our waitress was very friendly. Only small complaint, it was too obvious they wanted us gone in 2 hrs. Telling us our reservation is only 5:45-7:45 is sort of tacky (that occurred when they confirmed our reservation the day before). We arrived 5 mins early and ended up being done 10 mins early. Looking forward to being back in the summer!😎
