    Incredible food, atmosphere and service. My husband and I have been dining at Bar Harbor Supper Club since the 1980s. When we where first married, we shared cocktails, dinner and dancing with his grandparents. In the 1990s, we brought our young sons, arriving in our boat in the summer, sitting on the patio and enjoying top-notch burgers from the grill. We have many glorious memories but last night's dinner, with our grown sons and on Mother's Day, was a new chapter. Throughout the years Bar Harbor has gone through many changes but in 2026 it has come full circle, arriving at a new sophisticated culinary peak while honoring its tried and true history. The service, atmosphere and the food is nonpareil. It is the standout restaurant in the Brainerd Lakes region. Thank you Bar Harbor, we hope to enjoy more memorable experiences at your table.

    Great dinner at Irma's. It was a beautiful evening, sat outside on their patio with a great view of Gull Lake. Paige, our server, was excellent. Irma's offered several dinner specials. The appetizer and entrees my husband and I ordered were very good. Looking forward to visiting again next year.
