Pub Restaurant & Wine Bar the

We dined at The Pub on 8/11/2015.Excellent food, nice view of the lake, very busy. My boyfriend was taking a bite of his steak and a fly had landed on it… the flies were terrible, and noticed other people were shooing them away as well. We mentioned this to our waitress Marcia, her reply «we are in the woods, there are flies everywhere», and walked away shaking her head. We stayed on the Island 2 nights, didn’t have a problem with flies anywhere else, including patios, outside bar, hotel, or the beach. Will never go back due to the flies and our waitress.

Summertime lunch al fresco overlooking Lake Superior — really doesn’t get any better than that! Started with bloody Mary’s and enjoyed the fresh caught whitefish sandwich. Delicate lightly breaded fish on ciabatta with homemade tartar and kettle chips. Great place to watch the boats coming into the marina along with kayakers and paddle boarders. Small beach to wade in with chairs and fire pit. Best part it’s only a few blocks from the busy ferry landing and a world away in relaxation.

Hello service?! Waited for 15 minutes for the hostess. No hostess showed. The dining room was empty. Walked into the bar where a few tables of people were eating but the bartender looked mad and refused to look up at us. Walked outside to a table and sat down. Saw at least two waitresses walk past us with angry faces. They did not seem friendly at all to the other customers. Waited patiently for someone to welcome us but got the stink eye again from both waitresses who were also pretending not to see us. Knew this was a very bad sign and got up and left hungry. I should also mention it had nothing to do with the time of day. It was 1:30 in the afternoon on a Thursday, the second week in July. Very disappointed.

We spent 2 nights at The Inn and dined at The Pub both nights. The first night we had the Sicilian pizza and salad and it was outstanding. The second night did burger and a pasta was decent. Better atmosphere in bar than dining room.

Didn’t stay for the food. The whole restaurant was empty and the hostess stated she had no room near the window. Then the next couple came in and were seated next to the window. The menu looks delicious and we will go back after the hostess is done with her shift.

The place is a little walk away from the ferry landing (just go right and walk), but it’s totally worth it!
We were two and wanted to sit outside (the inside seemed a little dark and we wanted to enjoy the beautiful day), but there wasn’t any space available. The waitress kindly told us which table had just asked for the check, and added that she would have «reserve» it for us, and that in the meantime we could just sit at the bar and drink something. We tried their Blueberry Margarita: good, but nothing special. We waited just about 10 minutes before we sat.
The view from the patio is quite good, a little beach and a glimpse of a port, but the patio is also near to a hotel’s swimming pool, so it is a bit crowdy.
The menu was interesting, not expensive, and the food we ordered was delicious! We had a salad, fish tacos and a dessert. I really liked everything! The presentation was also pretty nice (I will add a couple of pics), and as I said, I think it’s worth it to do that walk!

Good food, interesting menu. The kids liked it too. It’s a little ways away from the ferry landing but after a big lunch we appreciated the walk back.

Great service and even better food. Came on half price wine night and it was tremendous.

We stayed at The Inn on Madeline Island for two days and the Pub is one of the only restaurants open for dinner on the island in the fall. I really liked the Pub, it was so warm and cozy, and it is nothing like your usually hotel restaurant or pub.
The food here was fantastic, and very gourmet. We had dessert here one night and dinner the next. The have a variety of delish sounding entrees, but we decided to share a spicy sausage flatbread pizza. The crust was thin and crispy and there was just the right amount of sauce and cheese. I’d definitely recommend their flatbreads.
For dessert we ordered their caramel apple cake with cream cheese frosting. This was a towering, two layer cake big enough for two to share. The cake was dense with just the right amount of spice and in between the cake layers was a layer of caramel apple filling. The cream cheese frosting was thick and dense and not too sweet. This cake was delicious. My only suggestion would be to add more apple filling.
