    Char at Grandview Lodge is by far one of my favorite restaurants in the Brainerd Lakes Area. There #1 menu item for me is the Prime Rib, unfortunately, this was only available Friday and Saturday evenings which was disappointing because it was a Holiday Weekend and I was really looking forward to having it! However, the food here is outstanding and the atmosphere is relaxing. We had a cozy table by the fireplace which was perfect for a cold winter evening. Their servers are outstanding which really differentiates Grandview Lodge from other local restaurants. I would 100% recommend.

    Our experience at On the Rocks in the igloo was exceptional! The staff was friendly and attentive, making our dining experience top-notch." Our server, Char, was efficient and perfectly served our drinks and food throughout our two hours. Her timing was spot on. The atmosphere was fun, beautiful, and a special celebration of our family. The cozy igloo, soft lighting, and casual decor help to create the perfect setting for any occasion. We ordered the chocolate fondue platter for our group of five. It was a generous portion and we had a lot left over. We also ordered food off the Northwoods Pub menu and ate in the igloo. Everything was PERFECT! Thank you for a wonderful evening.

    We took our son, his wife and 4 grandchildren ages 2 to 14 to dinner. We were seated right away and greeted quickly. The service was reasonably fast. Our server was friendly and accurate. They had a good selection for the children and adults. I had the walleye and it was delicious.
