Big Easel Gallery & Bistro

Tim and Connie are the greatest of hosts! Their food is nothing like you will have outside a big city. And when they are done with service they sat down with everyone and chatted getting to know all the patrons. More like going to a friend's house who cooks gourmet meals than a restaurant or bar.

My only regret is I can only give 5 stars! Definitely a 9 out of 5. I was fortunate enough to be taken to this amazing restaurant by good friends for The Easel's 7th anniversary. When we finally left for the night I had made several more! I will say it is difficult to decide whether the magical food, the incredible collection of art or the marvelous people who impart this experience was the highlight of my evening though and only hope I have the opportunity to return! Thank you so much Connie and Tim for allowing me to join you for your celebration!

Went for my mom’s birthday. Not your typical restaurant, but that’s what makes it special. Food was great, service was excellent and the place has a neat feel to it. Plan on 3 hours for the meal but it’s worth it.

An absolutely gem! Incredible food, beautiful vibe/atmosphere, and some of the kindest people I have ever met. Definitely a unique experience and something I wasn’t anticipating from a northern woods location. Highly recommend, even if you are not in the area it’s worth a trip!

Such an wonderful and inviting atmosphere! The artwork displayed throughout, is a compilation of many local artists, showcasing the diversity in the surrounding area.
This establishment hosts live music events, that let you experience new talents from thousands of miles in any direction, leaving you mesmerized and wishing the night wouldn't end. It is definitely worth checking out.

Tim and Connie have consistently presented an artistic, mindful, and delicious feast every time I’ve celebrated a meal with at the Big Easel! This is a world class restaurant and model for the North Woods. I have only amazing things to say about the Big Easel❤

I've eaten at great restaurants. This venue was by far the best. A 5 star menu, great and attentive staff, and a superb environment. Your very lucky to find this opportunity to dine. Dress appropriately. You'll love it.

We had a fabulous evening! The Greek dinner was wondergul--amazing flavor! Entertainment by Linda & Tim 🎶🎶🎶 And the decor is wonderful! Thanks Tim & Connie! A great 5-year celebration for Amoterra!!

We stopped today for the brunch after reading about this place. We were not disappointed!! The menu was exquisite, the food was delicious, the service was great and the owners spoke with us. We will be back! Thank you!!

This is such a wonderful place! Tim and Connie have amazing food and drink, and everyone there feels like family. One of my favorite places in the Northwoods.
