Had a nice evening here. Great location right on Lake Michigan. I ordered the Walleye dinner and got a huge filet with Panko. There was a little too much Panko on it for my taste but it was still great. Wife ordered the Perch which was also very good. Dinner comes with a good salad bar with soup. Had the... More

Hubby and I had dinner here during a visit to Door County. It was a lovely place with delicious food. I had steak and shrimp while hubby had surf and turf. My steak was very tender and the sauteed shrimp tasted so fresh. Hubby said his steak was good and lobster was, too. The salad and soup bar were wonderful.... More

Has the atmosphere of a nicer Wisconsin supper club, and a menu that is a littler finer than most supper clubs. I enjoyed the escargo appetizer (a lot). My pan fried walleye was good, If a little heavily breaded with Panko. Staff is friendly and the view of lake Michigan is great.

The title states it all. We had the rack of lamb and pork chops. Both were excellent! Service was good. It was a Monday night and we should have made a reservation as the place was busy at the dinner hour. Did not give it a five rating because I thought it was a bit pricey for Door County.

My husband and I ate at Donny's Glidden Lodge on our anniversary on a Thursday evening. It was a perfect atmosphere- dimly lit with a nice view. We were at least 20 years younger than any other patrons, but we were okay with that. I ordered the steak and shrimp combo, and my husband had the prime rib. The salad... More

Service is excellent. Went here for the views which are spectacular. Food is a little above average. Your general menu item or steak, lobster, walleye. I had the walleye which i would not get again but my wife had Ahi Tuna with a Red Bell Pepper sauce that was to die for. If you are looking for great food go... More

View is wonderful but food was overpriced and nothing special. Will not go back as there are other fancy places to go to around town.

Although we have stayed in Door county for the past 25 years, we never stopped at the Glidden Lodge. What an absolute treasure! The historic restaurant, with stone fireplace and wonderful views of Lake Michigan was a trip to the past. The traditional menu was absolutely magnificent. I had the walleye and my husband had the salmon with shrimp. Good... More

Great Lake Michigan shore location, salad & soup bar, fine food, nice wine selection, friendly service. What else can anyone ask? Does need a better sign identifying the restaurant.

We dined here on vacation in Sturgeon Bay. We both had great dinners. Rib eye steak done to perfection with the merlot sauce. Filet was cooked perfectly medium. Shrimp combo was a nice sauté. Could have been bigger. Not jumbo as described, but delicious all the same. Salad bar could use a slight update but plenty of options to choose... More
