Food was alright for the area, it was alittle noisy. The service was ok. Stake was cooked incorrectly twice however the server apologized and they refunded us for our uneaten meal

Food was great. Initially service was amazing but then once we were seated became a little slow. The dining area is a little too warm but definitely cozy.

If you have never been here, then you are missing a timeless gem. We took a friend to dinner who has never been, and she was asking herself why she never knew about it. Well needless to say she fell in love with the DLB. Who wouldn't, it shouts out northern Michigan, and plain old fashioned quality. Our service was prompt and pleasant. Food was spot on, as were the wonderful desserts.

Douglas Lake Bar & Steakhouse is definitely an all-around winner and a fantastic choice for a meal. Douglas Lake Bar & Steakhouse is right on the lake and offers a calming view that also shows that there is no greater artist than what nature can create. The staff is absolutely fantastic and only enhanced my overall experience. The food here is pretty solid and the dining room had a great vibe. All in all, the Douglas Lake Bar & Steakhouse is a great place. Douglas Lake is a wonderful place to visit and Douglas Lake Bar & Steakhouse only makes it a better destination. I will give here five stars overall and Douglas Lake Bar & Steakhouse definitely earned my recommendation.

Douglas Lake Bar and Steakhouse has a beautiful atmosphere. Located right beside the water, the views are calming. There are tables near the water's edge that you can sit at while waiting for your reservation to be called, allowing you to take in the scenery. They even have a dock to park your boat at while you dine. We made a reservation online a day ahead of time and were sat quite a bit past our scheduled dining time. Not a big deal as it was a busy weekend. We were sat on the patio and the mosquitos were horrible. Our server was phenomenal, always having a smile on her face. She brought us citronella candles to keep the mosquitoes away. Our food came out fast despite it being busy. I ordered the Cakebread Cellars Sauvignon Blanc and it was everything I hoped it would be--The fresh citrus flavor embodies summer sunshine. The DLB Steak Au Poivre was delicious as usual. The sauce that comes on it is my favorite! It was served with sour cream and chive mashed potatoes and green beans (which were cooked to perfection too). My mom ordered the Planked Whitefish, which is served with duchess potatoes. The tartar sauce and squeezed lemon were the perfect toppings. I would recommend ordering this with the Sauvignon Blanc. This is the perfect place to celebrate any special occasion because of the excellent food, amazing staff, and gorgeous atmosphere.

We returned to give Douglas Lake another try, literally because the owner acknowledged my disappointment and were glad we did! Far better service from a veteran server who is a retired teacher, whose name I sadly cannot recall. Having said that, she was a total pro & made excellent suggestions which we followed & all good was presented in a timely fashion, prepared to our liking and delicious. The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is that personally I feel the drinks were still a tad light - especially for the price. Lovely atmosphere!

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! To start the restaurant scene in this area is awful. Some places in the area are closed or have poor quality of food. My girlfriend and I were going from place to place prior to finding this restaurant and were so disappointed. We called to make sure this place was open and we're greeted by a very friendly voice. Once we finally got to the restaurant the hostess greeted us very nicely and was like "oh we were waiting for you!! Come on in." Which made us feel so good. After we sat down our waitress Tori greeted us and was such good energy. We got a bratta appetizer and really enjoyed this as a start to the meal. After ordering our side salads came out and they were just meh. Presentation was okay. Then the main dishes came out and presentation was MUCH better than the side salads. The pork chop had amazing seasoning and the chicken pasta was creamy and fun. The Brussels Sprouts were very bland however. They really needed some seasoning. What made this over the top for me was the carrot cake!!!!! Holy cow. I didn't take a photo of it but it was the literal best carrot cake I've ever had in my life. Overall we would definitely come back!! Check this out if you're in the area.
