Man I'm bummed. My wife and I had eaten here a few times in the past and enjoyed it, but our first experience this season was awful. We came in hoping to order a normal breakfast but we're told only the buffet was available, however, we could not go to the buffet immediately because they had to warm up the food... (Not make fresh food, warm up food already put away somewhere) We hesitantly thought, "Well, warmed up good food is probably better than fresh mediocre food, right?" No, totally wrong... The food was soggy, falling apart, seriously gross... I'm assuming they made some kind of last minute dash to throw everything in the microwave before they set it on the plates. It was so gross and off putting, we asked if we could just leave without eating. They said yes, and feeling guilty someone had taken the time to cook an omelette I offered to pay for the omelette thinking 5 or 10 bucks is the most expensive omelette I have ever seen in the area... Nope, they charged me something like $14.75 for the omelette. We were going to leave it behind and pay out of sympathy but for 14 bucks I took the omelette out of principle to inspect it to make sure they had not hidden any gold inside... Bottom line, they should really use my money well, because it is the last of my money they will ever be taking...

We had good food, but the service was really not good. It was our servers first week, but 2 more years will not help. He just did not understand serving. When we arrived it was German night and I had the Pork Hoc and Sour croute. This came with mashed potatoes. All were very good. I would go back for it for sure. My wife had a chicken breast that was very good. The view from this place is beautiful.

What a waste of a beautiful view! And my money... That was literally the worst experience in a restaurant I've ever had. We went for the Sunday brunch and after being seated we got to listen to the server and the chef scramble to reheat the buffet. They barely put any food out for us and what was there was absolutely disgusting. It was so gross we decided not to eat there. The ham was drench in grease and completely fell apart at the mere touch of a fork. The potatoes were brown as though they had been frozen before cooked. I had already ordered an omelet and we insisted on paying for it even though I had no intention of taking it with us. That's until they decided to charge us $15 for it. Then I took it out of principle. It was so offensive I'm writing this as I'm driving to another restaurant. The service was crap, the food was inedible, and the price was insanely inappropriate. I have never seen a restaurant fall so hard and I will never return. They made it seem as though our business was an inconvenience and a hassle.

The view here is worth 4* alone. Granted, I don't grade solely on views, but on a nice saturday early afternoon, this was exactly why I came up to Northern Wisconsin/UP. I came here with my friends that I was visiting. They knew one of the chefs and like coming here every now and then. We were just here for lunch, so it was going to be a quick stop. Thankfully there weren't that many people here at all for lunch (people up here in the UP are missing out on a killer deck during the day on the weekend. Sheesh), so it was just the three of us and another couple. The waitress was very nice and seated us as soon as she saw us. I knew there was going to be a lot of drinking at my friend's place in the afternoon, so I had to keep it as light as possible. I went with the Baja Shrimp wrap and got a blackberry tea. I liked the spiciness on the baja shrimp and they put in some good sized shrimp into the sandwich. The tea though was killer. Just the right amount of bitterness that I'd want from blackberries and I was doing my best not to completely guzzle it. I'm up here probably once a year. This is definitely on my list for returning the next time I'm up here.

We were staying in Iron Mountain on July 4 and nothing in town was open. Drove the 20 min to Florence having seen it in our travels. It was as good as it looked, a beautiful lakeside building. There was a special menu on the 4th, pork or chicken broasted with German potato salad, sauerkraut and beans, very reasonably priced. It wasn't too crowded (maybe everyone was waiting until later so they could stay for the fire works) and we were seated quickly. Wonderful friendly hostess (owner's wife?) and equally friendly waitress. We salivated watching people on the patio eating the chicken, and when it came it was delightful. Tender and tasty. Potato salad was homemade. Beans might have come from a can, but even homemade beans can look like they came from a can. The lake is beautiful, deep blue, treed and quiet, at least when we were there. It definitely deserves a return to try the regular menu.

Like the last reviewer said, the view is worth 4 stars alone. Especially on a warm clear summer day. It's just beautiful and the old house the restaurant and hotel is in has been amazingly restored. We went her for an early dinner on a Saturday night and were seated immediately. We sat inside with a nice view of Fisher Lake. The service was very good. Unfortunately, the food was just average. I ordered the crumb topped tilapia and my husband ordered the skewered shrimp. First they brought out a basket of bread which was what looked like cheap pull apart rolls that came out of a bag from the grocery store and one very thin piece of dry multi-grain bread. I don't understand why they wouldn't just get their bread from the very nice bakery across the street? Next they brought out a small very typical salad plate with mostly iceberg lettuce that looked like it came out of a bag. I had one 1/2 slice of cherry tomato on mine. It's had to find a really good salad around here. Finally, the entrees came. The broccoli that was with the dish looked like cheap frozen broccoli, no seasoning and we had wild rice which was rather bland. The fish although tasty, said it was supposed to crumbed topped and I really didn't see any crumbs, but I do think it had some sort of browned topping which was tasty. I think it was made with lots of butter. The shrimp skewers were good as well, although the shrimp were small. Overall the ambiance and the scenery is a ten and I will definitely to try something else on the menu. The menu did have lots of nice options.

I have been going here occasionally for the last four years and always for 4th of July dinner and fireworks for the past three years. The food has never been great but the atmosphere is wonderful. This 4th of July even the atmosphere could not make up for the terrible meal and service. I had stopped in twice the previous week to make sure we would get the table by the window with a view over the lake as one of my friends is uncomfortable eating outside and it would be a first visit for my other two friends and I wanted everyone to be in the best seat for watching the fireworks after dinner. When we arrived we were kept waiting without any acknowledgement for over 20 minutes. I finally had to approach the hostess, Lee Ann, who was tending bar and ignoring us. We found our table had been given away and we were seated away from the lake view. Lee Ann apologized and said she would buy us a round of drinks to make up for the lost reservation and seating delay. Well, that didn't happen. She also assured us we could have a patio table after dinner to watch the fireworks. About 20 minutes after sitting down we finally got a drink (that's was almost an hour after we arrived). In the past we had always ordered from the regular menu but that night the had only pork or chicken with beans, sauerkraut and German potato salad. I had the pork which was indelible. It included a couple of rib bones which made no sense as all the meat had been cut off. The chunks of meat on the plate were tough and had an "off" smell and taste. There were also a few pieces of undercooked pig fat or rind which I didn't touch. When I returned the plate with the meat barely touched the server didn't even ask why. My friends that had chicken said it was ok. One friend asked for bread and was told it was not available. We never got the water we asked for. We never saw the server after we got our food until they removed our plates and brought the check. When we went to the patio there were no tables available, as promised, and no hostess in sight so we ended up dragging chairs and benches around to seat ourselves. We were ignored by wait staff for about another twenty minutes until we practically had to grab a server to order coffee and beer. Our coffee was barely luke warm which I gave back. My friend said his beer was cold. The Florence fireworks were spectacular which always surprises me for such a small town. In the past, the beauty and ambiance of Maxsells has made up for the over priced, average meals but no more. It took a couple of days to get the bad taste of that pork out of my mouth. The unbelievably bad service is also something I will not subject myself or my friends to again.

Fabulous location. Wine list very good. Chef J.P. and wife Lorna bring a new level of excellence to this incredibly gorgeous waterfront restaurant. If you tried it in the past, it was a different chef. J.P. is soft spoken, sincere, he will make you feel like you are the only guest. Food is excellent, service fast, friendly, efficient. We have experienced long waits in the past, and inconsistent quality. Chef J.P. is a breath of fresh air!! Try it if you haven't lately. We can't wait to go back. We felt at home, but we also felt pampered. Truly, a class act. Well done, J.P. and Lorna.

The food courses were all Excellent. Outstanding quality and flavor. Our waitress wasn't a seasoned waitress, but made up for it with friendliness. I am accustomed to Chicago restaurants and food, this restaurant lived up to good restaurant business standards. I highly recommend it.

The food has always been good, but service is usually very slow. Expect to be at the inn for 2 hours. Good drink options! Perfect setting in the summer over looking a lake.

What a wonderful meal! We came in a little late with a large party, the staff was very accommodating, the service was amazing and the dishes were filling and delicious! We were delighted with the new chef and his wonderfully created menu. Saving room for dessert is a must! There were 13 of us and we all tasted a little but of everything, you will not be disappointed!

Group of 7, weekday evening. The view is lovely, as mentioned. The good: Cheese plate ($7) was yummy. Rib eye ($27) and Walleye ($16) was tasty , though he Walleye was missing a large chunk of breading. The Bad: Florentine soup was greasy and tasteless. Garlic shrimp and pasta ($19, 5 shrimp) was chewy and served in a small soup bowl. Chicken Marsala ($16), thin, chewy piece of chicken. Broccoli and wild rice were of the prepackaged variety and flavorless. The server seemed unaware that she was supposed to clear the dishes from table, leaving beer bottles and plates stacked up. Overall: A good place for a glass of wine and the view. Restaurant needs work.
