Chilly Restaurant – My wife and I visited Great Lakes Shipping this evening. We were seated at a table for two on the north side of the restaurant. The restaurant is heated very poorly.

Service was poor. Coffee refills were slow and our waitress was no where to be f... read more
Poor quality meat, Poor quality Staff. – Why did I return for a 2nd time? Meat was ordered Medium Rare. Was Served Medium Well. I returned it twice. We left after 3rd attempt. They wanted us to pay for our drinks. We refused. Went to Louis Benton.
Poor quality food, poor service – The walleye was good. The steak was thin, tough, cooked beyond requested doneness. Two of us ordered the same turf and surf and they were identical in poor quality. The third ordered Chicken Piccata and the chicken was absolutely tasteless, requested no capers to be in the dish but they were anyway. The rolls were cold and stale, the salad bar was good. Service was very minimal, unapologetic about the steak quality, never refilled the water until requested, but was very adamant about the 18%... read more
Disappointing – Suppose to be a contender for best casual dining in town. Just dined at Watermark Grille (another contender at Cascade) and it was a night and day experience. GLSC was overpriced, food was average to below, steak was tough and overdone, side items were good (seafood chowder, vegies, etc),, flat bread appetizer was good, facility feels old and a bit dingy, and smoky odor from previously being a smoking facility.... but once you dine at a place like Watermark where food was reasonably priced, very gourmeish, re... read more
