The Pickled Herring

This is a fantastic spot for dinner and drinks. If you have a herring lover in your midst, this is a must: theirs is locally caught and made in house. The smoked trout dip was also out of this world, and the salmon salad with green goddess dressing was 12/10 stars. Plus great cocktails, and they have the local Apfelhaus cider (sadly not on tap but still good). Nice to find a good Hugo spritz in northern WI of all places!

I had the chilli and a bowl of wild rice soup and both were outstanding. Seven people ate and all seven had different things and everyone LOVED it. Toni was our server and she is so good that even the if the food was trash (absolutely delicious) we would still come back again. She is friendly, and knowledgeable. We ate outside and what a perfect atmosphere and view. Six starts for service and food.

We decided to visit this restaurant based on the reviews. It's also across the street from the Apostle Island Cruise we took. I ordered the whitefish and fries because I heard that whitefish is good. It was delicious...so flakey and tender. I also tried cheese curds for the first time. They were good even though I'm not really into fried cheese. I highly recommend and will definitely return.

We stopped here for dinner on a chilly winter night. Super welcoming staff and excellent service. We had a great chat with the bartender! He makes a really great espresso martini. We ordered sprouts, steak salad, and shrimp tacos. The food was a little over sauced for our preference (heavy balsamic glaze on the sprouts, heavy coleslaw dressing) but otherwise was great! And of course, the view can’t be beat. Really tasty meal, we’d definitely go back next time we visit Bayfield!

I enjoyed my food here. The whitefish was delicious. My wife had the chicken Alfredo and really loved it. Our wait staff was awesome as well. Great view of the lake from our outdoor seats. Will be going there again!
