“I will always recommend J&S to anyone. I love the atmosphere and the friendly staff. The food is excellent and fairly priced. Great portions as well. The family who owns it gives back to the community 10 fold. A million stars all around. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“No better place for a tasty cocktail, expert mixologists, friendly staff and perfect atmosphere. We never come to Elk Rapids without having one (or 3) here. 10/10 you won’t regret it. Don’t forget the to-go cocktail Kits!“

“We placed this order hours before the restaurant actually opened. Not realizing they didn’t open until three, we showed up to pick it up. They confirmed the order and had it ready in 15 minutes, even though it was only 1240. Thank you for your help, understanding, and commitment to serving great food to our community! You guys rock! The pizza sandwich and salad were all delicious!“
“Beautiful winery, amazing service, and a beautiful view!“
“Awesome brews and crew. Osario's and Flannigan's Goat serve up some very tasty food. Great indoor/ outdoor venue. Summertime music is great too. The customers are friendly and fun. I highly recommend both of Short's facilities. So thankful that we have this in Elk Rapids.“

“Went in today for the 1st time, service was very friendly & helpful 🤩. Fantastic Pizza, will be back again! Thank you.“
“I brought my partner here for his birthday and we had a wonderful time. Sherrie was our guide for our private wine tasting (highly recommend!) and she was excellent.
She is very knowledgeable and I hope that, one day, she opens her own bar in the area, as she has been in the industry for a while and know so much about what pairs well with what. She made our experience even more delightful than it already was.
We ended our tasting with live music by Rob Coonrod.
The tasting was an hour in a private area and the music, currently, Thursday through Saturday (if I’m remembering correctly).
The photo is from our experience outside. The inside experience (private wine tasting) was in a barrel room and smelled soooo good 😋
I’d recommend this place to any wine lovers, especially Michigan residents, as many of us do not get to experience our state in this way if we live in larger cities.
Enjoy! 🤍🤍🤍“

“I was disappointed today when dining at Reflect Bistro for our 49th anniversary. We made a reservation and mentioned our anniversary. The person taking the reservation said he would note about the anniversary. We ordered an appetizer, I had a salad & the Pepperdelle, husband had seafood pot pie. The calamari appetizer was totally different than when we ordered it in the past. It had a spicy sauce drizzled all over it and a pile of arugula on top. The salad was good, but probably 1/2 the size it used to be & not enough dressing. Couldn’t get the server’s attention to ask for more dressing. The pot pie was1/2 the size it used to be, had just a small triangular piece of crust on top of a soup of gravy, peas & corn with 2 scallops, 2 shrimp & a small piece of lobster. The price was $5 more than last time. So you get the picture, 1/2 size of previous portion, fillers of greens to make it look larger & Increased prices. My Pepperdelle had fresh spinach leaves piled on one side of the bowl, the bowl was about 1/2 the size it used to be & the seafood in it was much less than before & the price was raised. Unfortunately we will be writing this restaurant off of our list of favorites from now on.“
“Had lunch after some wine tasting a bit further north. Bad Dog Deli was recommended by a young lady at 2Lads Vineyard and we were not disappointed! The sandwiches were delicious and the staff friendly and helpful.
Parking: Good sized off street parking lot with plenty of space for the busy lunchtime crowd.“

“One of our favorite pizza places in TC. Our family enjoys eating in as it is rarely ever busy and there are ample booths available. The only complaint is that it can get a bit chilly in the winter time with the door so close to the dining area. Otherwise food is great--highly recommend the Greek pizza and the wraps!“
“My favorite destination in traverse city is Bonobo Winery. Not only is the great, and the food is too! And, you can’t beat the view!
What makes the visit so wonderful is the staff! Big shoutout to both Linda and Nic, these ladies are remarkable!“

“This is a good brewery restaurant in a fantastic location. The drive up is beautiful and the sunset over the bay is spectacular. It’s worth coming just for the location.
For food mushroom pizza was delicious—chewy, fluffy crust, bechamel sauce, and mushrooms. The nachos were so so—chips with a big pile meat and cheese just in the middle.
The beer is great. I tried La Roja, which is a barrel aged sour amber ale. It’s different from most other beer and worth trying if you’re open to wild fermented, sour beer.
The service was fine but busy. My waitress served like barely had time to take my order, but she was friendly.“
“Our server Elizabeth was very nice, and the berry stuffed French toast was so good!“

“An absolute gem just a few blocks from our hotel. Even with limited seating that evening due to unexpected staffing shortages, the team handled everything with professionalism and care. The back-of-house staff truly went above and beyond to ensure guests still had an outstanding experience, and it absolutely showed. The food was phenomenal — every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The cocktails were equally impressive, unique, and expertly crafted. What stood out most was the level of attentiveness and hospitality from start to finish despite the challenges they were facing. Experiences like this are what make dining in Traverse City so memorable. We will absolutely be back on our next visit!“

“My wife and I visited Bowers Harbor Vineyard recently and had a great time. The whole place has an easy, laid-back vibe - not fancy or pretentious; just a spot where you can relax and enjoy yourself. They have several different outdoor spaces. We were lucky to snag a couple Adirondack chairs under shade trees overlooking the fields. The servers were very nice and helpful. The wine and snacks were great. We would definitely come back again.“

“I do not write a lot of reviews, and I feel like most people only take the time to leave reviews when they have something negative to say. Because of that, I actually feel a little bad that I have not written one sooner and wish I would have taken some pictures.
While I cannot speak for lunch or dinner, I have had breakfast here multiple times during my stays over the past four years, and every experience has been fantastic. The food has consistently been excellent, the atmosphere has always been clean, quiet, and relaxing, and the service has gone above and beyond what I have experienced at many other restaurants, including some very high-end places I have visited.
This time, I had the French toast, which was very good and an extremely generous portion. If I had one small suggestion, it would simply be adding a little more toppings, but overall it was excellent. The breakfast tacos were also fantastic. The only minor thing I could suggest there would be having a plate underneath the taco holder to help keep things a bit less messy.
I will say it is a bit on the expensive side, but you are at a resort in Traverse City, so what is not a little expensive there? With that said, it is extremely convenient, the quality has always been very good, and the overall experience has consistently made it worth it to me.
Again, I truly have not had a bad breakfast experience here.
I also specifically wanted to recognize Deisha and Augustine. They have consistently provided top-notch service every time I have visited. Their level of hospitality has been so good that at times it almost felt like I did not even deserve it. They both do an outstanding job and absolutely deserve recognition for the experience they create for customers.
Thank you again for the wonderful breakfasts and hospitality over the years. I look forward to coming back again.“
