“Very noisy because they have nothing but hard surfaces with nothing to deaden the noise. Fare is average, nothing special, but they do make proper buffalo style wings. Kind of a disappointment as Treetops bills itself as a premier destination... Must be they only focus on the golf courses and beleive offering a little lesser in the accomodations and dining gives them a pass.“

The food was good, the private room was beautiful, the servers were professional, and the bar was fully stocked with a pleasant and competent bartender... and she made me a tasty 'adult' coffee, which I needed in the cold weather! 😉“

Whitefish Dip with Pita Points
Truffle Fries

“We went tonight and both had the weekend special, a local bison tenderloin with Michigan morel glacé and truffle mashed potatoes.

It was perhaps the best meal I have eaten this year. The different flavors of this dish blending together was a true culinary experience, the bison tenderloin was the star. It was thick and delicious, easily sliced with a butter knife. Their desert special was a Ginger Cake with an apple Carmel sauce and glaze. It was good my wife ordered another one for takeout, so she could have it the next day.“

Definitely a cuisine experience. The broccoli, rice, etc were all exactly perfect. Corn chips delicious. Even the coffee was superb. Terrific service.
