Bennethum's Northern Inn - Gaylord

I had heard great things about this place and happened to be driving by one evening, so I stopped in. I ordered the Morel pasta and a glass of red wine. The pasta sauce was so thick; unfortunately you could not taste the morels. As I was finishing up I found a piece of plastic in my food. I let staff know and they said it was onion. I do a lot of dining out and know that was not an onion. I’d put this rating into the negatives. What a disappointment. And a loss of $60 no less. I wish I could say my experience was amazing but there are better restaurants in the area that are much better all around.

The property is very nice and well kept, and the service was absolutely outstanding. However, the food quality was not up to the menu pricing at all. To be clear, the kitchen did a great job. But most of the menu items I experienced were lower quality than advertised. The $65 prime ribeye was definitely, definitely not prime. Not even close. The short ribs were not short ribs they were beef roast. A tasty roast beef, sure, but not what's on the menu and not priced like roast beef. The apps were tasty and well prepared, and the sides were decent, but they were all Sysco type pre preps. Again, it wasn't bad food, and like I said the service was notably impressive, but an expected $80 $100 per plate needs to deliver higher quality and certainly needs to be honest about it.
