Sydney's gets my vote as a top notch Grand Marais casual eatery. I was blown away by the care, kindness and service we recently received here, which was on top of the delicious pizza with a nice crisp thin crust and scrumptious custard dessert.
Tonight our artist's group held a private party here and the place was stuffed with a hundred or so of us all jostling for a turn at pizza, custard, and drinks.
Sydney's team didn't bat an eye, they just kept the hot pizzas coming with good cheer. When the owner noticed I wasn't eating, he good naturedly asked if I were too shy. When I replied that I couldn't eat gluten, he said, "I can make you a gluten-free pizza! Can you eat dairy?" "No to that too." He said, "Not a problem. I'll make it dairy free too."
Honestly, I was touched beyond belief at the care and kindness afforded to me without my even asking. My special pizza was wonderful and obviously made with care. The fact that someone took time to ask why I wasn't eating in a restaurant completely FULL of hungry people...well, I could cry. That kind of concern just isn't something you'd expect to happen today.
Bottom line: Sydney's is a wonderful eatery led, managed and staffed by some amazingly great people.
Thank YOU to Sydney's 1000 times over.
