    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.
