Even today, Irma's Kitchen maintains its rustic style log cabin feel, serving delicious house-made cuisine in a cozy ambiance with picturesque views of Gull Lake.When you come to dine, take notice of the original Pastry Cooks cupboard, which was salvaged from the original kitchen and refinished to retain the building's historic charm.

    Great dinner at Irma's. It was a beautiful evening, sat outside on their patio with a great view of Gull Lake. Paige, our server, was excellent. Irma's offered several dinner specials. The appetizer and entrees my husband and I ordered were very good. Looking forward to visiting again next year.
