I waitressed all through college, my dad owned a bar & grill, and I have a pretty good idea of what a good restaurant should offer. The only thing this place has going for it is the atmosphere. It has nice furniture. The waitress was disinterested in getting our order, unfriendly, messed up our order, and was overall poor. Some... More

When we have gone, which is several times, we always seem to have to stand around awhile before someone seats us. It is awkward and odd as the bartender does not say anything or welcome us. I would not go back because of this, if it wasn't for the food. Food is wonderful and gourmet but with a reasonable price... More

Thanks to TripAdvisor, we visited this place. This is must visit place if you are heading for Door County. Food was fantastic and atmosphere was welcoming. Service was outstanding. Bit pricey compared to other restaurants in Door County but worth for the value. It had variety of options including vegetarian ones. We wanted to try for the first time and... More

We had been to John Martin's Restaurant previously but were majorly disappointed in the service and food over Memorial weekend. Our food took a ridiculously long time...the waitress said that unfortunately, a larger order (for six people) slipped ahead of our order for two. Then they ran out of bread and told us it would be "just six minutes" until... More

My wife and I stopped for lunch last year and again this year and the service, food quality, and experience was very consistent. The food portions seem to have gone up which is not something you hear about much. Overall they have a limited selection of beer and wine (no hard liquor) but the food is excellent and the staff...

I have gone here for business lunches and dinner with family. The dinner menu is extensive and we have not been disappointed. However the past 2 lunches I've had haven't been the same. My companion's food (burger)was just average and her chips were overdone. Vegetable manicotti very skimpy on veggies but arugula was robust. Staff continues to be friendly. They... More

A bit on the pricey side for a more casual atmosphere but the food was amazing. Ordered the Thyme Crusted Whitefish and it was a larger portion than I expected. Thumbs up to that.

We have been long term fans, but the chef and manager have left. The food and ambiance are diminished. We went for a special dinner and were disappointed.

Went up to Sturgeon Bay to visit my sister. I used the search tool to find a new place to go. After looking at the top 4 places on the Trip Advisor site for Sturgeon Bay we chose John Martin's. We went early because it was Friday night and we were the only folks in the restaurant which made me... More
