"...I ate my appetizer of smoked scallops while sitting on a long porch facing the lake. Lotta's chefs use world class ingredients - including harvest from local lakes, farms and orchards - to create delicately understated dishes."
                                                                                                       Bon Appetit

"Lotta's may be low key but its owner/chefs know how to dazzle both the eye and the palate....The meal was all blue skies and island breezes...The salmon drizzled with chervil shrimp sauce looked like a painting in shades of pink and green - was the best we ever tasted."
                                                                                               Wisconsin Trails

"...within walking distance of the ferry landing (is) my favorite, Lotta's, where chef/owners create a fantastic menu of nouvelle cuisine like the spicy whitefish tacos..."
