Great pizza (deep-dish and non), variety of beers on tap, newly remodeled outdoor area with cover from the sun. The Diablo wings are second-to-none and they have this Pescara option for the pizza crust -- SO GOOD.

Fresh pastries and coffee drinks! Donuts, cookies, incredible cakes... also available is a large menu of non-breakfast goodies, sometimes you crave Swedish Meatballs with Lingonberries! This spot is right up the road (walk, bike, drive) + one of our favorites to grab some morning items and take them on the paddleboat. Or enjoy a lazy morning with delicious goods and enjoy the slow pace of life by the lake.

Favorite 'secret spot' for great food. Unassuming outside, usually need reservations unless you get there when the door opens and snag a spot at the bar. LOVE the 'Black and Blue'. We go for special events and always enjoy what we have.
