Pier Plaza Restaurant — Restaurant in Bayfield

Our experience here wasn't great. We had to wait about 45 minutes to be seated on a weeknight, which is what it is-that happens and we know the restaurant can't control how long we wait. However, once we were seated and ordered it took another ~45 minutes for our food to come out. Once we finally had our food, it was a huge letdown.

The protein bowl was nearly inedible-the only reason I ate any of it was because I was so hungry. It was a very strange mix of flavorless black beans, slimy edamame, plain white rice, and flavorless sweet potatoes, topped off with a few drizzles of a weird sauce and (what I think was) a Beyond Burger. I've been a vegetarian for over 30 years and I've never had something quite this weird and truly gross. Please take it off the menu.

My husband's pasta dish wasn't much better--it was pasta with a rather flavorless sauce with a whole bunch of powdered Cajun seasoning on top of it. He also had the Brussels sprouts and they were bad-complete mush.

We did have really good French fries!

Honestly, this restaurant should probably just stick to fish and meat and forget the vegetarian dishes. From other reviews, it seems that their fish dishes are great. So if you're looking for meat/fish (and French fries!) maybe give it a try. If you're looking for vegetarian options, definitely try somewhere else.

Our server was great and clearly worked hard--she was the only server for the whole patio on...

The good: The Bruschette, service was pretty good, decor and location were good.

The bad: Poor tap selection. Ordered a Spotted Cow which came in a bottle and had to be poured into a Plastic Miller Lite cup. If you ordered a chicken sandwich or a burger you would only get a chicken sandwich or a burger. Lettuce, tomato were $1.50 extra, fries and coleslaw was $3.25 extra, sweet potato fries and coleslaw were $4.25 extra. So you couldn't just order a burger and fries and didn't get fries with your burger. The worst part is that the burger cost $8+ to start with which is the cost of an average basket. The burger was a frozen patty reheated. It was worse than you could have bought at the local grocery store. The black and blue burger was a bun, reheated frozen patty, and some blue cheese. My wife's chicken sandwich wasn't any better. She did not even finish it. Very plain. The coleslaw was not coleslaw but some sort of salad that you could have bought at a grocery store pre-made.

Expected a good local pub in a nice location with some local food.

Instead, Bottom line: Way too expensive, bad food, limited choices. Would have done better at a...

Wow. I’m writing this review while stuffed full of delicious food, smooth beer, and great vibes! My wife (who I married just 11 days ago) and I spent the afternoon on Lake Superior kayaking on a tour led by Skylar, a polite and knowledgeable young gentleman. We saw this place prior to the tour and came back for dinner. Initially we were put on a waiting list for an hour and decided to get some card games from the car and wait by the park. On our way back from the car our buzzer went off. The window said their fish fry was in the top 10 in Wisconsin, so of course we had to try it. Even though it’s Wednesday we still feel we got the full fish fry experience with fried whitefish and broiled Brown Trout (Skylar’s recommendation). Both were delicious and their garlic mashed potatoes with gravy were out of this world. They also had my favorite beer on tap - Mudpuppy Porter from Central Waters at a great price! Huge thanks to our server Frank for the food and drink recommendations and great service! To top it all off I got to enjoy this meal with the beautiful views of the lake and my wife! Make sure to stop in if you’re...
