I sure was surprised to see so many folks out to eat on a Thursday night in the off season, but it wasn't a problem to get the 6 of us served in time to get to the Pro Arte Quartet concert in Ephraim. Several of us had the walleye and we were all satisfied and the salad bar had... More

This little hidden gem is a great place to go for a couples dinner. It is a little out of the way and a bit intimidating for first time Door County travelers in the dark but we found it well worth the trip and enjoyed a wonderful dinner! True upscale supper club! Enjoyed the roaring fire in the bar area... More

My wife and I went there last night. The food was good, the atmosphere was very nice, and our waitress was very friendly and efficient. However, we had a 7:00 reservation and were not seated until 7:25, a different waitress told me to move to a different seat at our table because I was blocking the aisle (very insulting), and...

Three visits in a row and ordered the "blackened" prime rib. Just can't explain how great it tasted! My wife and I order medium rare...so consider that. Hands down....our choice for the Prime Rib! The buffet style salad bar and the ladle your own soups add to the ambiance of an awesome atmosphere. By the way...Andy is the best Host... More

I have been going to this restaurant for many years and it is always fabulous. The food is consistently fresh and delicious and he ambiance is even better! Donny's Glidden Lodge is located right on the shimmering shores of Lake Michigan, and the view is as spectacular as the meals. Anybody heading up to Door County, Wisconsin, should not miss... More

Food was good, but not worth the price. I don't think I would go back without trying other places in the area. It was $50 for two of us, without drinks and I only had the sald bar. Seemed to be a place for older clientele as well (we are in our 20s).

Bartender was terrific, the waitress was wonderful, the ambiance was very romantic, especially with the great view of the lake. The food was superb-my husband had the prime rib which was so very tender. And I had the glidden special- love the carmelized onions, merlot sauce and Gorgonzola. We will return.

The restaurant is a bit out of the way from the normal Door County destinations but it is worth the drive. The food, view and service are all excellent. We both had the Glidden steak. I would definitely recommend it and this restaurant.

I'm getting hungry just writing about Donnys. We go out of our way to time a stop here on our way to our northern Door vacation home. Weekend or week day dinners are always fresh and excellently prepared.The drinks are masterfully mixed and the staff are all very accomodating. The Saturday night Prime Rib is some of the tenderest meat... More
