Great Lakes Shipping Co

Most people who attend this fine restaurant have expectations before going in. We however never put expectations on any visit therefore enjoying what there is to offer us. We had a grand time with above average service and great food! Some people However, you just can never please!

Food is always good,no matter what you order. Sometimes a little busy

My wife and I visited Great Lakes Shipping this evening. We were seated at a table for two on the north side of the restaurant. The restaurant is heated very poorly. It couldn't have been higher than 60 degrees where we were seated. I asked for a different table more toward the middle of the restaurant and away from the windows, but was told that all other tables were reserved. There were empty tables all over the restaurant. Service was poor. Coffee refills were slow and our waitress was no where to be found most of the evening. The food was good, but then it should be considering the high prices. ($20 for salmon) I will not return to Great Lakes Shipping anytime soon.

Why did I return for a 2nd time? Meat was ordered Medium Rare. Was Served Medium Well. I returned it twice. We left after 3rd attempt. They wanted us to pay for our drinks. We refused. Went to Louis Benton.

The walleye was good. The steak was thin, tough, cooked beyond requested doneness. Two of us ordered the same turf and surf and they were identical in poor quality. The third ordered Chicken Piccata and the chicken was absolutely tasteless, requested no capers to be in the dish but they were anyway. The rolls were cold and stale, the salad bar was good. Service was very minimal, unapologetic about the steak quality, never refilled the water until requested, but was very adamant about the 18% gratuity they added. We will NEVER return to this restaurant.

Suppose to be a contender for best casual dining in town. Just dined at Watermark Grille (another contender at Cascade) and it was a night and day experience. GLSC was overpriced, food was average to below, steak was tough and overdone, side items were good (seafood chowder, vegies, etc),, flat bread appetizer was good, facility feels old and a bit dingy, and smoky odor from previously being a smoking facility.... but once you dine at a place like Watermark where food was reasonably priced, very gourmeish, restaurant cared about the quality of their food, best steak ever tasted (porterhouse), great appetizers, great views, etc.... you'd love them too. GLSC needs to do some updating and make their food worth the price.

My husband and I tried out Great Lakes as we had a buy 1, get 1 dinner coupon from the Entertainment book. The food was exceptional and the ...
