Kelly SchneiderJuly 11, 2016Get the whitefish. Bread and pesto spread was delicious. I'd go back just for that! Sit and stay a while on their outdoor patio with a drink and watch the boatsUpvoted 4 weeks ago
Erika LundAugust 5, 2016Expect a fairly long wait, however enjoy great cocktails out back. Lobster bisque and rainbow trout were fantastic! Definitely worth the wait, just plan ahead because they do not take reservations.
- RachelMarch 6, 2015The lobster bisque was out of this world! The views of Lake Michigan from the restaurant are awesome. Everyone was very friendly! Highly recommended!
Jeff Ray (mobilejray)May 16, 2015Best burger I've ever had. They oil the bun and grill it. The bacon is homemade and tasted so good I didn't want any condiments on my burger. Wow.- Carole KamermanNovember 18, 2015Loved it as usual!!! Great service and you've got to try the whitefish on the menu while enjoying the view of beautiful Grand Traverse bay

Colleen Keegan SudderthDecember 13, 2016French onion soup very good. Service was a bit slow today despite the light crowd.
Julia PullenJuly 16, 2010The chicken quesadilla is incredible- I eat quesadillas everywhere but this may be the best one I've ever had! Their key lime pie is to die for, too!
Lorri LiebermanSeptember 20, 2013Such a calm peaceful time sitting near the tiki bar. Food is excellent.
AJ KleinJune 16, 2013Get a vodka gimlet on tje bay while you wait for your table and watch the schooners...
Mike DSeptember 22, 2012Food was amazing, Jeff was our server takes hospitality to whole new level. Awesome!!!
The Baked Beans that come with the BBQ Ribs are fantastic!
Sandra KerriganApril 6, 2015This place has a nice environment with a nice view of bay. Food is overrated and overpriced. Rainbow trout was very mediocre. Service was outstanding. $70 dinner for one with wine. Crazy.
Bailey KishefskyNovember 17, 2010This place has AMAZING FOOD! I would highly recommend anyone to go here if you like seafood- They aren't too pricey either!
- Faith DoyleJuly 7, 2012Nevermind they dont have the amazing mashed potatos anymore and there is a whole new menue and everything was terrible.
Mohamed MansourJuly 18, 2021Very poor customer service and rude hostess not sure if that is their usual or is it just because they are understaffed either way it was a bad experience
Courtney AmeelFebruary 18, 2012Just a heads up if you order the shrimp linguine the alfredo isn't that creamy, it tastes like butter and a little bit of cream...... Not good :(

"Great spot for lunch with a view. The Pizza Maine is incredible: lobster, crab, arugula, garlic, and goat cheese. Fried duck wings with blackberry bbq sauce are also amazing."

"Best meal in TC so far (15 years of visiting). Wait staff second to none. Long list of locally sourced ingredients - they even name the farms! Every dish was new or different in some way."
