Dinner and lunch the next day at the Upper Deck was just fantastic. Don’t miss the lobster bisque. I’m a Gloucester Mass gal, and it was comparable to the best I’ve ever had in New England. The staff was wonderful. Thank you for a great time!
My husband and I arrived at Put-in-Bay hungry. We were going to go to the Boardwalk then saw the Upper Deck was a full service sit down restaurant and decided to eat there. I don’t eat seafood so my husband usually does when he can but he choose a cheeseburger as did I. The burgers were huge and very good!
He got the burger with an egg on it and I got the western burger, all the toppings were fresh and they didn’t skimp on them. The fries had seasoning on them and were also very good. Everything looked clean, the staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely eat there again.
Went specifically to the Upper Deck restaurant because they boast the best lobster bisque in Ohio and from where I stand they were right it was excellent large chunks of lobster I added a side salad with mango Chardonnay vinaigrette was awesome!
My friend had a burger which was perfect and the orange Creamsicle cocktail was amazing service was good price was right
I can’t recall ever having a bad meal at the Upper Deck in all the years that we have gone here. The service is very efficient and friendly.
I like the Beyond burger in general and they did a good job of that plus some sweet potato fries. My friend and client dining with me thought he should have tried it as well instead of his shrimp salad or something along those lines.
Good vibe, nice place, decent service, and surprisingly good food. It was worth the quick flight over to have lunch!
The food was amazing. Lobster Bisque in the bread bowl is a must. Lobster Mac n Cheese was excellent too. Taps ceremony at sunset is always a heart warmer. Service is excellent and the food is out of this world! You have to eat here if you are ever in Put in Bay!!!
Visiting the island for the day..and stopped here for lunch. Great staff and food. Sat outside..enjoyed the day..however seating inside is available. There is an elevator to help H/C people up to the 3rd floor.
This place beat out a bunch of competitors just with their menu. We were in the mood for some really good seafood/steak and this place hit the mark. Yes, it was expensive but everyplace on the island is.
Food was just as expected and would return when back on the island again. They even let us use two 10% off coupons at the same table (split bill).
First time here and it was recommended by a fellow member. This place has the best views of the island! We did not get to sit outside but it was windy! We were seated inside in a booth overlooking the marina. We had fun picking out our dream yacht! We had a coconut shrimp appetizer and it was a bit different than others.
We just tasted coconut and no other flavors. We both ordered the perch sandwich entree and it was delish. We also shared cheesecake for dessert. The service was outstanding!!! You have to check this place out!!
