This is our favorite restaurant in Door County, and totally worth the 30 minute drive to Ellison Bay. Farm-to-table and the best cocktail menu in Door County, set inside a 100-year-old farmhouse on a beautiful piece of property.
Reservations highly recommended, as far in advance as you can get them, though they do reserve some seats for walk-in customers.
Rob's favorite cocktail: the Old Timer.
