Such amazing service and atmosphere!!! Sit at the bat and have a drink with Christa tending, you will not be disappointed. Get the brie board app and the scallops and filet are cooked perfectly! Make sure to check them out, skip the big boys down the street and hit up the local favorite!

Our visits here are always a great experience! The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and fun. And the food is fabulous . Jasmine was our server on multiple visits and was prompt, professional, sweet, and funny! It is not unheard of to have one of the owners swing by your table to check in on you and make sure everything is up to par!

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. They have one of the best pork chops I've ever had. It had a syrupy apple and horseradish sauce. Buttery mashed potatoes went well with it. The baked brie appetizer was great. It had a lot of fun pairings for the brie: walnuts, dried apricots, sesame crackers, green olives, jam, etc. I didn't care much for the crab lettuce wraps. They needed a little yum yum sauce or sweet chili or something. The peach salad was delicious. The sweetness of the peaches was a great pairing with the creamy goat cheese and tart balsamic. The caramel cheesecake was delicious as well. The service seemed really professional. One of the new owners came to our table and spoke with us. They just reopened about a month ago under new ownership. It sounds like they have a lot of experience in restaurants, and the food quality is consistent with that. They probably had too many customers for the amount of serving staff on this particular night, because everything was pretty slow. We had a group of 8 and were there for about 2 1/2 hours. The building is an old log-cabin style lodge on the natl historic register, and they utilize the space really well. There is also plenty of outdoor seating with a partial view of Gull Lake.

The historical log building will take your breath away, then you will have service second to none, and the food is so delicious you'll be back! Comfortable style, like being home. We're looking forward to sitting on the back deck when the snow melts.

The atmosphere at Sherwood is beautifully rustic. Big trees, quaint cabins, and a warm fire surround you. We love sharing appetizers/small plates family style. The cheese curds are absolutely delicious and we always get at least one order. The staff has always been kind and helpful. We will definitely be visiting this great log cabin restaurant again.

Wow! Great service, Amazing food, and lovely drinks. Angie & Paul do a beautiful job making you feel at home while serving you food you probably could never make on your own. We went with our family, who loves to cook and adores good food. We have been going to the lakes area as a group for 30 years and have tried to find a place like this. It is the only place we have found that serves food and drinks of this quality. Well worth the trip!

Establishment has done a very good job of distancing tables for everyone's safety. Place was clean and inviting, staff was friendly and helpful. Stopped in and had an appetizer along with dinner and dessert. Everything was served fresh quickly and very well put together. Dishes had great flavor and wonderful presentation. Would recommend them anytime!

The building and surrounding area is stunning. My Italian beef sandwich and beef stew were perfect. The service was friendly and quick. We sat outside by the fire and it was an amazing experience.
