Attended the Seder meal put on by Beth Yeshua on good Friday. Literally the only place I have been in months as I have been recovering from 2 major surgeries. On Easter Sunday I tested positive for Covid-19.
I immediately informed both Beth Yeshua and Barkers Island Inn. While Beth Yeshua was understandably concerned, Barker's Island was not the least bit concerned when I called to let them know.
We are still dealing with a deadly pandemic and while I have had both of my vaccination shots and my booster shot as well as my fly vaccine I still contracted Covid and I am certain it was at the Seder meal. I was alarmed at Barkers Island resort lack of concern for both their patrons and their staff.
The Inn is beautiful and the food for the seder meal was fantastic. However their lack of concern for their patrons and staff is quite concerning. The banquet hall should have been immediately sterilized. This is an airborne disease that has caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people already.
I have been extremely ill ever since contracting the virus. Because I am vaccinated I am able to quarantine at home instead of the hospital but still require oxygen and had to go in for IV antivirals this past Monday.
Until everyone does their part we will not see an end to this pandemic. I immediately informed Barkers Island when I tested positive for Covid and the person who took my call was not the least bit concerned. I'm certain that she didn't even bother alerting her superiors. This is completely irresponsible behavior amidst a...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIn short, Olive Garden and Perkins should be considered James Beard level compared to the food we were served. Everything was lukewarm and felt as if they were ran through a microwave rather than cooked (especially the fries, cheese curds, and alfredo). My walleye was decent especially without the tartar sauce therefore warranting the rating of 2.
The service was very sad, the restaurant was virtually empty when we arrived. We waited nearly 10 minutes at the hostess stand to be seated only to see several of the wait staff hanging around in the alcove to the kitchen, looking at their phones. On multiple occasions, I had to request another wait staff member to remind our server that we were ready to place our order or that we were ready to pay our bill. I promise I am not being over the top. There were literally three other tables of people in the restaurant that probably fits around 30 tables. There is no reason for a wait that long and when I say long, it was well over 10-15 minutes between requests. We were our serverās only table. Our server also forgot to bring us our salads and never checked on how we were doing or how the food was (maybe she knew and chose not to...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe had our wedding night dinner at Barkers Waterfront Grille. Our wedding was on Saturday and with COVID, we had to change our plans the Thursday before our wedding in response to the governor's shut down orders. We had to call around and find a spot on the fly, and Barkers was more than amazing and accommodating with our plans. We worked with Julie and she could not have been more helpful and accommodating. We had no idea that she planned to be our server the night of our celebration.
With all of the closures in MN, Barkers not only listened to our grievences, but more than happily allowed us to decorate and celebrate our night with music the way we wanted to.
We were so pleased with the professionalism and amazing customer service that Barkers displayed.
We went from having Superior, WI from being a random spot to stop at, to being one of our most favorite places to be.
With everything going on, we couldn't be more than happy with our experience. Thank you to Julie and the staff for making our day special. You guys are the best!
Thank you; Tony...
