Cedar Lodge Supper Club — Restaurant in Town of Calumet

Ok. My backstory first.

Drive past this place every week, and have noticed it prior to driving past every day for work. Been on the buckelist for some time.

We go in today, packed in a great way. All the patrons were very orderly and courteous with new faces coming in. Invited us to the bar to get an old fashioned, and helped us out with the process: You order a drink and say you want to order, and they will find you. We were skeptical, but sure schnitzel, they found us to order. Drinks were great with an amazing offering, and pretty great beer selection as well.

Food: Amazing staff handling thr seating, and offering suggestions. Love the sweet tooth integration with orders (have to visit to see what I mean). Spot on Fritters to start?!?!?! Strawberry soup?? Think the cold slurry that is the best part of a strawberry Sunday. Unexpected, but great! Steak was a great cut and prepared exactly how I ordered- chef recommendation. My wife got the perch, which was light and amazing as well. To finish, we got the pistachio cheesecake. What. The. Heck. Amazing. VERY well done- kudos to the female chef that was on the edge thinking it was too sweet, from what we heard...

Been on the buckelist for some time, glad we stopped and will be back.

Thank you...

First of all, my kudos to the bar. Bartender was REALLY good, she made sure everyone was served and on the wait list, even those that couldn’t have a spot at the bar. She remembered the drinks of our group (down to the details of garnish) which I found impressive because it was so busy.

We had no reservations and it was a Friday night. The waitress took our order a little ahead of being seated to keep the flow moving. After a 2 hour wait, we were seated and dang - it was soooo worth the wait!! Dessert (fritter) is served first and was so yummy. It’s such a unique thing to do and we loved it. I went with the strawberry soup (another unique thing) and the blue cheese sauce on my steak (and I’m not one to normally eat blue cheese). Yum!! It was so good, not overpowering blue cheese-y tasting. Hubby got steak and scallops and said everything was really good. Portions are perfect sized so that you can eat everything and feel full, and not have to worry about a to go box.

The waitstaff is kind and were working hard to make sure everyone was taken care of. We were so impressed with this tiny supper club. It was worth the drive and the wait. We will be back!! Thanks for a...

Went on a Sunday morning at 8:25am with the family. There were quite a few people waiting outside ready, about 25 there already and they were supposed to open at 8:30. They were dealing with some issue with pipes inside. This did not stop them from providing amazing service and handling the unexpected curve ball like a pro! They got our drink orders (bloody Marys were great, lots of flavor) and eventually started seating people. We ordered fresh blueberry pancakes (amazing, perfect sweetness), ham Benedict (the Hollandaise sauce was so buttery and lemons, perfect) and also one of the specials prime rib hash (also delicious). The eggs were cooked to perfection in both dishes, and the toast was a total shining star! Fresh bread, crispy, soft and buttery. Lastly, the service was spot on! We were well taken care of with drinks, a nice smile and the cool calm collectedness of the staff in the chaos. We have ordered take out several times, and it has been just as good. Tips: If it's a Sat or Sun morning, Fri or Sat night. Be prepared for a wait. It's worth it and there are tables outside to...
