Hidden gem. My only suggestion would be to improve signage to guide you to the restaurant. The menu is super cool and you will be able to find something interesting and delicious. If we had discovered this place earlier in our trip we would have definitely went back. Worth the 30 minute drive from our hotel. Our server was very nice and friendly. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for a unique and delicious menu!

Probably the nicest place you can have dinner for food quality and otherwise in the area. Our server Rama was awesome and the chef even came out to ask how our dinner was. Had the smoked prime rib and my wife had the duck. Both were fantastic!

Had my wife's 60th birthday here. The food was excellent. My wife had the Smoked Prime Rib and I had a rib eye steak. Both were cooked to perfection. I would usually pick a steak over prime rib, but my wife's prime rib was probably the best I have ever had. Full of flavor. Wild rice soup was great. We had the lemon raspberry cake as well. The service was awesome as well. Our server Rhema was super friendly and very attentive. Cannot recommend enough.

My family and I loved the food and drinks we got at the Finn & Feather restaurant. My walleye dinner was fantastic- walleye was a great cut, breaded perfectly and I didn't find a single bone. My daughter had wild rice soup (so tasty) and a walleye sandwich. My husband had a rack of ribs with each half rack with a different sauce. The ribs were very meaty and the homemade sauce was very flavorful! I enjoyed the Northern Cosmo which was one of the best cosmos I have ever had ( Ithink it was the cranberry puree that made it so good). Jen and Steve, the owners, were so welcoming and the rest of the staff were efficient and friendly. We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and the view of the lake (even though it was raining). I would highly recommend!

Fantastic made by scratch gourmet food in the middle of nowhere. The wild rice & mushroom soup is delicious as is the smoked pheasant salad. The home made cake was simply the best. Beautiful views of Lake Gogebic.

One of the best meals we’ve had. The menu is full of so many out of the box options, it was hard to choose. We took recommendations from the hostess & waiter and couldn’t have been more impressed. White fish boil & Chicken bacon & artichoke fettuccine Alfredo with turtle cheesecake for dessert. Keep up the good cooking & friendly hospitality.

We pulled into an empty parking lot but left extremely satisfied with this freshly prepared meal. We both had the homemade freshly squeezed lemonade and it was delicious! I had a cup of the wild rice soup and it was creamy and filled with mushrooms, chicken and vegetables. It was most excellent. The Parmesan pan fried Walleye was also very good although the parmesan coating kept separating from the fish. It was served with a dinner roll, potato and homemade tartar sauce. We asked about dessert and decided to try the Lemon Raspberry cake. It was out of this world delicious! The cake itself was similar to a shortcake in density and had a thick coating of fresh raspberry filling, followed by smashed fresh red raspberries and a huge dollop of real whipped cream. It most definitely did not disappoint!
