been eating here for years, food and service as always been good
Went to Great Lakes Shipping Company tonight for my birthday dinner. We waited 15 minutes before anyone came over to acknowledge we were even there. Our waiter was horrible, and looked at us like we were nuts when we complained that our food was served cold. I have never had such bad food and bad service. Needless to say, I will never go back.
My husband and I had dinner tonight at Great Lakes Shipping Company and it was fabulous from start to finish. Management met us and seated us at a fireside table for two. Our wait staff was kind, courteous and most accommodating. They went out of their way to make our experience as good as possible. Crab cake appetizer was superb, best we have had. The salad bar was fresh and offered plenty of variety. The walleye was fresh and perfectly prepared and my filet was prepared exactly as I ordered. We shared the cashew cheesecake... read more
Steer clear The staff was great when we called ahead. (We were checking for food allergy purposes). They were very helpful. We had no problems with our drink waitress. But it did take at least 20 minutes for our food waitress to come to us, and she only returned because one person flagged her down. After that, she was extremely slow every time we asked for something. The only reason we were able order at all was that we had our menus closed and made it abundantly clear that we were ready. Given the prices, the food was just ... read more

We had a fine meal &an enjoyable evening. – I was really perplexed reading the negative comments. My husband & I dined here this evening & had a fine dinner & evening. We're over 40, but HARDLEY senior citizens...but I digress. We too had a certificate from restaurant dot com. It clearly states it needs to be presented in its entirity to be valid BTW. We were greeted nicely upon entering. The decor is not all upscale & neon, but nautical & authentic...uh can you say Great Lakes Shipping Co.? I had Island Shrimp, my husband h... read more
not worth it – We went to t his restaurant because we wanted to try somewhere new..We also had a coupon from restaurant. com. The manager was very unprofessional and rude when we asked if he could just get the number and code from our Iphone and not have to actually print it off. (no where on the paper does it say it needs to be printed off) Yet he would not allow us to use it. He also did not even thank us for coming in as we left or anything. He was not customer friendly at all. The service was not great either. VERY SLOW.... read more
Overpriced and Underwhelmed – I had a $25 restaurant dot com certificate so we decided to try it. When we looked up the menu online, we also found a 2-for-1 coupon that we brought along for our friends. The restaurant was packed (mostly senior citizens), but we got seated right away. Tables were very close together and not much space to walk to our table without bumping into people. Meals were overpriced. A chicken dinner was $22, but was only worth about $12. We ordered the crab artichoke dip. We thought it was a hot dip, b... read more
Not bad, a decent place. Decent food, standard salad bar, rolls and the usual selection. The fireplace and brick atmosphere was nice for a date but the overall food was not that impressive for the price and nothing noteworthy about the food selections. The phone book coupons however are great and make this much more affordable and worth trying once!
