Cafe Seiche

"Just a forewarning if you're visiting Madeline Island during low season...this place is only available for dinner, ordering is walk-up only, and no inside seating available (very chilly to eat on the picnic table). My experience here was strange and negative. My partner and I were the FIRST to get in line and make an order at the window. He got a vegan entrée and I only ordered a cup of their "soup of the day." Since I wasn't getting much, I asked if a bowl-size is available or if they could give me more than a cup. The cashier checked if that can be done and asked one of the employees in the back. I overheard them say they no and they need to make the soup last for the NEXT TWO WEEKS...? Like excuse me? What??? The cashier said it will be ready in 25 minutes. We waited 40 minutes to be given the tiniest portion of lukewarm soup in the cup. I was super disappointed to find it was filled half way... As if they were rationing the soup. My partner who ordered a vegan entrée, had a small shallow bowl of lentils and the laziest "salad" which was just leaves of spinach...very disappointing. He said it wasn't that filling. We were given our order last despite being first to order. People behind us were receiving their orders first..and that was annoying and frustrating. The food was tasty but was over priced for what portions we were given. This place was unprofessional and not customer service oriented. They seem to believe they can get away with this type of service due to the limited restaurant availability on the island. Would not recommend coming here, specifically during the off-season. You're better off packing a pbj and hand-warmers."

"Food was tasty and do greatly appreciate the vegan option. Portions were way too small for cost, staff was friendly however not as accommodating or as professional as should have been, service was slow, no seating window service only so not exactly sure how to rate atmosphere but some indoor seating would have been appreciated"

"The food was excellent! I had the Whitefish salad sandwich and it was better than any tuna salad I've ever had and my wife had roast beef that was also incredible and the best part was that it was served up fresh with in about 4 minutes time which is faster than any drive-through I've ever been in LOL! Kudos Cafe sachet 5 star"

"My new wife and I went in for an early dinner. We started with a smoked white fish cake. The texture was like a custard that was totally unexpected but it was so good! I had the beef tenderloin and my wife had the fish entree. I don't recall what it was but I remember it and the beef were cooked perfect. We were excited for our first visit and we were not disappointed!"
