Fresh flowers and oil lamps top the tables at this location between Lake Charlevoix and Round Lake, off Highway 31. Windows provide water and bridge views, and the atmosphere is casual and comfortable. On Friday and Saturday nights, live jazz is performed in the dining room and bar areas. This is a great spot to watch the boats travel between the two lakes and to watch the drawbridge go up and down. Downtown Charlevoix is within walking distance.
