I guess everyone's tastes are different.

It used to be nice to go out for food in the lakes region with the wife and spend less than $100.

Perhaps my critique of the Pine Cone’s food was too critical but the menu never changed and I think the choices were sub par. I don’t disagree it is sad to see a local watering hole disappear. Hopefully, the owner is able to find a way to meet the community’s dining needs, especially during the off-season.

I took one look at the menu and it has zero appeal. I won’t even try it. Overpriced and not much that I would even want eat except the steak and that’s like $40. It kinda sucks losing the pine cone, especially being able to get lunch too, food was great. This a blue collar area and I think it’s going to be a tough winter for them. Good luck I say.

It's getting good reviews, but if this is $32 I'm definitely out!

What food / meal does the pic depict?

Viewing their website I get the impression they value quality and plating.

I really want to like this place, and I don't mind a premium price for a premium meal. But, sadly, I have to agree with you. If they don't add steak tips for $20-25, burgers for $15, etc, it's going to be a LONG winter.

Maybe they will. Has anyone asked the owners or made these suggestions? I trust they’ll do what they think is necessary to survive.

Looks like Marker 21 or The Corner House fall exactly where you are targeting.

Exactly! My son and I had just a great meal at Marker 21--Poke for me, lobster roll for him, old fashioneds for both of us. Food and service were excellent, view magnificent. Prices were fair. Our order was different than what I recommended above, but it was a menu built for a wide range of diners.
