Great Lakes Shipping Co

We had a fine meal &an enjoyable evening.. I was really perplexed reading the negative comments. My husband & I dined here this evening & had a fine dinner & evening. We're over 40, but HARDLEY senior citizens...but I digress. We too had a certificate from restaurant dot com. It clearly states it needs to be presented in its entirity to be valid BTW. We were greeted nicely upon entering. The decor is not all upscale & neon, but nautical & authentic...uh can you say Great Lakes Shipping Co.? I had Island Shrimp, my husband had grilled Mahi Mahi. both delicious. Cocktails were also good. This fine restaurant has been serving GR for 40 years. How many of those are still around?…

not worth it. We went to t his restaurant because we wanted to try somewhere new..We also had a coupon from restaurant. com. The manager was very unprofessional and rude when we asked if he could just get the number and code from our Iphone and not have to actually print it off. (no where on the paper does it say it needs to be printed off) Yet he would not allow us to use it. He also did not even thank us for coming in as we left or anything. He was not customer friendly at all.

The service was not great either. VERY SLOW. We had to wait forever just to get our check and even longer to get the card returned back to sign the receipt. Food was not that great either. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all. Way to many great restaurants in GR area to settle for this experience! :)…

Overpriced and Underwhelmed. I had a $25 restaurant dot com certificate so we decided to try it. When we looked up the menu online, we also found a 2-for-1 coupon that we brought along for our friends. The restaurant was packed (mostly senior citizens), but we got seated right away. Tables were very close together and not much space to walk to our table without bumping into people.

Meals were overpriced. A chicken dinner was $22, but was only worth about $12. We ordered the crab artichoke dip. We thought it was a hot dip, but it came out cold. When the server finally came back, we asked the server if it was suppose to be a cold dip, she said no. Took it back to heat it up, but when it came back it was lukewarm at best.

I had the surf and turf (prime rib and perch). Prime rib was cold and tough, but the perch was hot and good.

Everyone at the tables around us had a variety of coupons (2-for-1, Groupon, key card, restaurant dot com) and made mention of coupons several times in the menu and posted on the door as to what was and was not included. It was obvious they inflated their prices to accommodate the "discounts". Service was slow, but no incentive since all of the discounts add on a 18% gratuity.

The meal for four was $150 AFTER the $25 certificate AND 2-for-1 coupon. Ouch! Twice as much as we would have paid at other restaurants with better food and service.…

No expectations!. Most people who attend this fine restaurant have expectations before going in. We however never put expectations on any visit therefore enjoying what there is to offer us. We had a grand time with above average service and great food! Some people However, you just can never please!…
