Reviews for The Paper Station Bistro in Harbor Springs, MI
I was going to be passing through and happened upon the menu and saw the lobster roll. I called when I was a ways out to ask if... they did carry out and the lady who answered the phone was not very pleasant. I called a little while later to place my orderand spoke with the same unpleasant lady. I explained that I was traveling through and asked a couple of questions about themenu and received very curt responses. I asked about just a simple side salad to go with my lobster roll and said that I didn'twant the coleslaw. At the end of the call I was still talking and she just hung up. When I picked up my order I noticed theywere not busy at all, so the rudeness was even less acceptable. I was also very surprised that I was charged $10 for a simpleside salad. I'm from the Midwest myself so I know that a lobster rollI is not a common find on a menu. I will say that based onthe number that I have tried in the Midwest, this one was overpriced based on the small amount of lobster salad included. Theflavor was good, but I wouldn't stop by again based on the service and the price point for what I got. UPDATE IN RESPONSE TOOWNER COMMENT: I called at 4:13 and was 20 minutes away. Read more
Food was alright. I was in disbelief at how terrible our waitress? attitude and energy was: she had this attitude like we had... personally wronged her, 3 seconds into meeting us. It was really uncomfortable. She acted like she was really annoyed and wasalways in a hurry to get away from our table. It was bizarre. What did we do to you? I normally don?t bother to post reviews ifI don?t like a place (I don?t think I?ve ever left a Google review in my life), but this was actually upsetting. This felt likea confrontation, not lunch. Edit in response to the business owner?s reply: You obviously don?t get what I?m saying. Mycomplaint has nothing to do with canola oil or how timely the service was. Regarding the canola oil, most restaurants use it soit?s not even something that is a blip on my radar. The service was perfectly timely. I have no issue with that. The onlyproblem is your attitude, which was the worst attitude I?ve ever seen. That?s why you were tipped $2 on a $50 check. Not becauseI?ve never worked in my life. Not because of canola oil. Not because of how timely the service was. Because of your terribleattitude. Get it now? Stop calling reviewers who call you out for your horrible attitude liars. Read more
The food was just okay. I would rate it a ?C?. The waitress was cold and extremely inattentive. For whatever reason she was rude... and callous and made the experience very uncomfortable. She wouldn?t even stay long enough to let us speak or ask a question.There was also what appeared to be a 10-12 year working hard along side her which made us uncomfortable as he was so young. Theyapparently use Canola oil as well, which is toxic and gives me hives. I would never go here again and wouldn?t recommend you doeither. The owner responded and said I gave her a $2 tip as a way to invalidate me. Newsflash: Bad service and bad attitudesget bad tips! You are the second person in a lifetime of traveling and going out to eat that got a bad tip from us. Read more
Very yummy food. Stand outs are definitely the burgers and the family favorite Korean fried chicken. I would return and also... recommend to anyone. Additionally i am happy they have mezcal. They do have a very small restaurant so reservations arerecommended. Cheers! Read more
Food is good. A little bit pricey but well worth it. Service Is great and friendly. A relaxing environment. Its a little small... inside, but it set up well, and there is outdoor seating in the summertime. The best burger in the area, in my opinion! GreatFrench onion soup and good drinks. Read more
Great hidden jewel. Solid wine list and every meal was as described in the menu. Staffing was really friendly and on top of... it. Not an empty table. Will return. Read more
We came to paper station the other day during our vacation up to Northern Michigan. This spot was just down the street from the... condo we'd rented for the week. The location is fantastic, and you can tell that it pulls in crowds simply because it's on themain street in downtown Harbor Springs. They've got a small outdoor patio and small indoor seating area. The day we went theywere VERY understaffed. Every table in the place was packed and the had two people working front of house (that includes thebar). & let me tell you these girls were HUSTLING! Props to them for holding it together during dinner rush and full tableseverywhere! The food was definitely decent and given the understaffing the drinks were rather good. I got the Poke Bowl whichwas interesting and a little different than poke bowls I'd had in the past. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it was by nomeans bad. I'd stop by again if it was convenient. Read more
Edit: Read other reviews and see how they are treating customers who don't hav only something good to say. I got a burger and... it was really good, but overpriced. My friend got the steak and it wasn't good, way too overpriced. They gave out the wrong foodand our table only received half the food and had to wait another 15min before the rest was done. They didn't seem to care.Definitelt really overpriced and the seating is very tight and intimate with strangers next to you. The owner of this restaurantis also extremely rude. Go to any other restaurant in town. Read more
