3 1/2 stars.
Passing through town on our way to Munising we couldn't find very many spots that were still open in the late dinner hour. But this seemed like a decent spot next to the lake. The decor was a bit odd as I couldn't figure out if the couch style tables or the contemporary decor was intended for fancy or casual. We chose a couch and ordered a cheese platter, fish dinner plate, and fish tacos. The cheese platter was pricey for what we got (two crackers for all that cheese... really?). The fresh honey comb was a nice, unique touch and tasty with the cheeses. I enjoyed my fish dinner and my friend really liked her fish tacos.
Overall we were very pleased but a bit thrown off on the ambiance.
Been here twice: once on the patio and once inside. The food was good both times and the service was excellent. Had our rehearsal dinner this past September and the whole experience was a delight. We spoke with the events manager, who gave us a menu to work with and was upfront about the costs. The service during the dinner was spot on and the servers were always within reach. Â The atmosphere is great right along the lake by the marina.
Review Source:We loved this place as well! The smoked duck gumbo was as good as any gumbo I have personally had in the south. Not much smoky flavor in the duck but the seasonings seemed just right to me. A large bowl was $9 and worth every penny. Wife had the whitefish tacos. Nothing Mexican at all about them, but they were good! The whitefish was seasoned with cajun spices and kind of blackened. The tortillas were flour, which never would occur in Mexico, but quite good. The salsa was very tasty and the chips were better than average. The presentation was beautiful, as were all the dishes we observed. The tacos were a little steep at $11 but no regrets.
Pints of Arcadian beer were $3.50. Glasses of wine appeared to be much more generous than is typical. The ambience is terrific with unusual industrial/bistro decor, a choice of different seating arrangements, and fairly quiet. Too bad about the ad nauseum football games playing on the TVs. This place deserves more. The servers all were very friendly to us and attentive.
The menu included many very interesting and unusual items we would love to try. There was a conch appetizer, seared Ahi tostada, smoked meat sandwiches, and a Wisconsin Artisan cheese plate to mention a few.
Yet another winner in Marquette!
Mostly good! Â I'd come back.
The whitefish dinner is awesome- at least the whitefish part. Â (I had fried, by the way, but my coworker thought her broiled was amazing). Â It came with mashed potatoes which were merely fine (not bad, not good), and asparagus which was also ok. Â I also had a grapefruit mojito which I felt was awfully bitter. Â I don't know if that was made poorly, or if I just didn't care for it.
Our server was hiiiiiiiiigh as could be. Â She was nice, though, and generally pretty competent, but couldn't describe what beer was like to my coworker.
It was so nice to sit on the patio.
Drove our daughter up to Northern Michigan Univ. for their campus tour weekend and WOW! We were in love with this place, the ambience, the food, the service and the FRESH White fish. The best White fish I have ever had in my life. It taste like a nice piece of grilled steak. Their deeped fried asparagus was nom nom nom. The perfect view of beautiful lake Superior in downtown Marquette. Absolutely wonderful : )
A MUST stop in for sure. AND MUST TRY THEIR RASPBERRY MOJITO!
WOW! Â Drove from North Dakota to New York City and happen to stop in Marquette Michigan. Â Lucky enough to try L'Attitude. Â I LOVED THIS PLACE! Â
My son & I have special diet needs. Â I'm a vegetarian and had an amazing Medit. plate of hummus, tabouli, veggies, pita, etc. Â It was perfect (especially driving 600 miles that day and tired of fast food). Â I posted a photo. Â (loved it so much had to share on Facebook)
The staff was kind enough to prepare food for my special needs son. Â That doesn't happen everywhere and was very appreciated.
The restaurant is stunning and the views just add to the magic. Â If i'm ever in Marquette again, I will visit L'Attitude for sure! Â Highly recommend!
Open on a Sunday night we ventured here and found it okay. The location, with views of the water, was the best part about this place. We were underwhelmed by the food and the service which were both average to less-than. But it looks like a happening spot so there must be something here that keeps people coming back. Unfortunately, while our food was just fine, given the other great choices in Marquette, I'd look elsewhere first.
Review Source:Just tried L'Attitude for the first time on a trip back home. Â First, the building and location are amazing. Â Even on a dreary day, it's nice to be able to look out onto the Lower Harbor. Â Plus, they have outdoor seating which more places in Marquette should invest in. Â The menu and food, however, were a little mixed. Â Menu leans heavy on seafood/fish, which I am not a fan of. Â Had the Thai Salad. Â I guess it had a sesame dressing, which is Thai (kind of?) but that's about it. Â Still, it was a big salad and left me full. Â I'd like to see a little more variation in the menu for those of us that don't like seafood.
Review Source:As a person with Celiac disease, I put a lot of trust in the restaurants I visit.  I always make sure to let them know that I cannot have any wheat, and if there is nothing on the menu for me, I usually have drinks and a salad or something.  I am never rude, after all, I am the one with the weird disease.  When a restaurant assures me that the food they suggest is gluten free, I believe them. My  L'attitude server made menu suggestions that he thought to be gluten free, and told me he checked with the kitchen. I got super sick.  Turns out (after verifying with the manager) that it all was clearly labeled as wheat-containing food.  I know everyone makes mistakes, but I called the manager to let the restaurant )know that the mistake was being made.  She was rude, and asked me "Well what do you want me to do about it?"  She also told me that the dish I ordered, aside from containing wheat in the sauce, was made from "rice wheat" which is not a real food.  This experience leads me to believe that they don't know much about what is in their food (ie: rice wheat) and that they don't really care about the customer.
Review Source:Nice location with a great atmosphere ... needs more people to fall in love with this neat old building remodel ... I liked the layout the very high ceilings, brick walls and HUGE Window views ... I LOVE MARQUETTE.
Our food was very good, we all had something totally different and we liked our meals. Â I recommend this to anyone local and or new to the area. Â I attended NMU 25 years ago, and our daughter is there now ... this is a great place to take out the college kids and their friends ...
Downtown is great!
I was in here with my family from Chicago last week visiting my cousin who lives in town... actually, within walking distance. Upon entering, the six of us were generally impressed by the interior. We were seated at a booth which ended up being a little cramped for 6, but the view of the lake and hillside houses was amazing.
Anyway, as for the menu, there were chips/salsa, some chicken, and some others for appetizers; burgers (half-pound) with "crack fries" (according to the menu, lol), hummus, and a full bar. They had a $2 domestic happy hour which I didn't partake in, but I was tempted. There is also a full bar.
I had the tortilla chips & guacamole. The chips were big, and came a-plenty, but they seemed overcooked. big fat bubbles in a lot of them and they seemed dark, but they weren't your basic Tostito's either, so maybe it was the recipe. The guac was VERY chunky - not in the way of tomatoes, but rather the avocado not being very scoopable and still in large pieces. It wasn't bad. The burger was huge - for $8 I had just assumed it would be a 1/4-to-1/3-pound burger with fries, so I had definitely glazed over the 1/2-pound description. Coupled with the chips, it was more than enough for leftovers.
Service was quick, and our waitress was friendly, and she even tried to get the recipe for one of the soups for us (but was unable to). If and when we (or just me) come back, I can see another trip here.
Awesome views from the patio & they serve Bell's & Keweenaw on tap, I guess you can't ask for much more than that! Â Marquette is doing a great job of supplying the UP with attractive businesses that drive tourists to the areas to enjoy new restaurants and experiences. Â As a seasoned Yooper traveler, it is hard to find new things to see and do and places like this help to keep things fresh and lively.
Review Source:After taking a relaxing sunset sail on Coaster II (<a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.superiorodyssey.com&s=64d7ab9a8478a6ca922db12a0cf1c07f03a43d0fe32a0e03d6f8a82de35a65bb" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.superiorodyss…</a>), we weren't quite ready to call it a night.  We shared the cruise with some locals who explained the downtown revitalization, and how far it's come since a bunch of abandonded warehouses. Â
That piqued our interest, so we decided to roll right off the boat into L'Attitudes. Â We hesitated for just a moment wondering if we were dressed appropriately - windblown and flipflops. Â We were pleasantly surprised to see we fit right in with the eclectic mix of tourists and locals.
The exposed brick added to the charm of this chic hangout. They have a wine room that looks like it would be a great place for a private party.
The energy, service, outdoor seating...it was just what we were looking for to complete a lovely evening.

I was very excited to try this place after months of passing by and never stopping in. Â We called last night to see if there was a wait for tables, they were nice enough to put our name on the wait list without us being there. Â Things were looking up. Â
As we walked in the front door we were impressed with the interior, it's a very nice looking place. Â We thought we got lucky when they took us out to the patio seating. Â We were wrong. Â I've never seen so many flies in my life, flies on our legs, flies on our arms, and the best, flies on our food, our table even came with a fly swatter. Â I realize they have no control over the flies being there, it's not their fault but given the severity of the problem a little warning may have been nice. Â We would have gladly waited for an inside table to avoid this, every table was constantly swatting.
What was almost as bad as the flies? Â Our waitress. Â We were told there was one special for dinner and 1 drink special. Â Later after we had our food I heard her offer other dinner specials to another table. Â When we sat inside at the bar to finish our wine flight (because of the flies) I noticed there were FIVE drink specials, not one, my sister and I would have loved a glass of sangria but weren't told it was an option. Â No plates with our appetizer, ever. Â We had to ask for silverware and for napkins. Â She was impossible to find when you needed her.
The food: Bruschetta appetizer was phenomenal. Â Alfredo pasta with shrimp which was a special was not special, it was very bland and the serving was small for the price. Â My husband had the whitefish tacos, they were good, slightly on the bland side. Â I had the sweet potato blue cheese soup, guess what it was? Â Bland. Â My cob salad was pretty good. Â
We're from Chicago, we aren't "foodies" by any means but I am shocked by the amount of people who review this restaurant on other sites saying it could hold it's own in a big city. Â You need good customer service and quality products to survive anywhere, especially in a big city. Â Don't let this prime location and nice wine selection fool you. Â People of Marquette, you deserve better than L'Attituide.
This place is unfairly inconsistent.
It has so much potential and some of the best wines in town. It's got the best location you could ask for and an amazing interior.
However, despite the fact that they have some incredibly impressive coffee machinery, they have no one who knows how to use it. So the coffee is useless.
And they have some really good dishes, but the menu has changed so many times since they've opened I don't know what the point it. If you do get the same menu, good luck if you get the same dish.
Drinks are always good and can't complain about them, but I'd like to see the same bar tender twice in a row. Â Never a good sign if they can't keep their staff.
Also, what the hell was up with the ping pong table in the back room with a group of noisy drunk 50+ watching boxing?
And why aren't they always open at the hours they have posted?
Good luck L'Attitude. Hope you get your shit together, because then we could really be friends.
I love L'attitude for bringing civility to Marquette nightlife. Â You see, I have this aversion to sports bars... and there's really no way to avoid sports bars in Michigan. Â What I like is a place to get a cocktail and not be blasted with smoke and people wearing their worst sweatpants out of the house. Previously, I thought the Landmark was the only place you could go for a chill night out and be able to wear something decent. Â
The view is amazing, for being a lakeside town, there really aren't enough businesses that can capitalize on the view. Â The outdoor seating is a great place to sit and people watch on a sunny day. Â Really, this is on my top picks for a hometown night out.
