Mainsail Restaurant

"We wandered in here on a Friday night, absolutely starving and had no idea what to expect. We were so impressed by our server who was apparently running the whole operation. She tended bar, made the food, and bussed the tables and was welcoming and friendly. My BLT with a fried egg was probably the most delicious BLT I've ever had with thick bacon, bakery bread, and not an over abundance I've lettuce and tomatoes. The pub fries were perfectly cooked- crisp and hot. My husband's was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The portions were the perfect size and while there was a little bit of a wait, I'd totally recommend this place for a simple but quality meal."

"Nice building atmosphere with good music and the food wasn’t bad compared to other restaurants in the area. Despite being on one of the largest lakes in the world no fish options were available. The reason I’m leaving 2 stars is because the woman working there was one of the most rude and sarcastic people I’ve ever had the misfortune of meeting. If this wasn’t the only place to get a decent bite within 30 miles I would give this place 1 star."

"There was a reason the parking lot was empty at 5 o'clock on a Saturday! We walked in and the woman told us we could not sit in the bar and watch football with our 9 year old. She told us 2 years ago drinkers got rowdy and they will not allow kids to sit in the bar area. Again, the place had nobody in there. She was very rude, never asked for our drink order and made us feel very unwelcomed. We immediately left and were clapped out as we walked out the door. I cannot believe this place remains in business!"

"We had a morning breakfast, and I think we were the first customers to come in. The entrance opens into the bar, and as we sat someone came in and directed to sit in the back, a dining room down the hall. The decor is quaint, and reflects the harbor-town culture; fascinating to study while you wait. Photos of great lakes shipwrecks, characters and maps. Anyway, the food (omlette and the "rise and shine" were quite good. We saw a dinner menu on a chalk board that looked inspired and yummy (fried green beans!). The quality is good, well made from basic sysco food stock and maybe some fresh local veggies. Coffee could be sourced better, but it's not Robusta (or maybe it is a mix). This place undoubtedly gets a good deal of the local night life (in Detour (say DEE-tour)) without the French affect), andnthey take they're drinking seriously. They back of our waitron's shirt proudly said, "hangovers, made to order." We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!"

"I had the whitefish sandwich. It was made with never frozen whitefish. It was a generous portion. I had onion rings as a side and they were very good. The staff was friendly and efficient. The price okay. It wasn’t cheap but wasn’t outrageous. I would recommend this restaurant."
