I have no idea why people are raving about this place.
We had a reservation for 8 after golf on a Friday around 7pm. They didn't have a table for us so we packed into high tops in the tiny bar area. They were out of their house wine and one of the primary menu items already on a Friday. What??? Salmon was terrible, small portions and overcooked. No one in our party thought it was worth the money. Will not visit again.
Staff was very nice but could tell they were stressed and prob like almost every place these days, owners too cheap to pay people and/or people don't want to work their butts off for less than min. wage hoping people tip.

Atmosphere, service and outdoor view is great but the food is awful and extremely overpriced. I ordered a $36 10oz Ribeye medium and it came out paper thin, cooked well done and had no seasoning or flavor. The risotto was dry and gross. My daughter and husband also had terrible food. $25 Cod was cold and bland. We spent over $125 dollars on three meals and we didn’t even finish half of it. This place should be ashamed to be serving such terrible food for the outrageous prices. If you don’t know how to cook a steak properly just take it off the menu. Stop pretending to be fine dining when you are serving poor quality food. We won’t be back.

This is seriously one of the best hidden gems in the area. I am at an impass because on one hand we are often the only ones in there, like its our own cooking staff, but on the other hand it can't be sustainable for the business. They have had the best burgers and food between battle creek and Kalamazoo. Please please help keep this place afloat, each lunch and dinner here when you can. For the price and quality it simply can't be beat.

Nice views from the outside patio. Server was very attendant. Appetizers were very good. Entrees were average. Bone in pork chop was excellent. With limited choices for restaurants in this area, Blue Stem is a good choice. Prices are very reasonable. Got out with $70 tab which included Appetizers, entree, dessert and beer.

The view is amazing - but the food quite honestly was terribly disappointing. Charcuterie board didn’t have half of what was featured on the menu. Cheese cubes were taken right out of a bag. No candied walnuts, mustard or anything else. The salmon was dry without any seasoning or flavor. Menu features salmon with a dill cream sauce. When we asked - a small container of something was given to us - but it wasn’t dill cream sauce. Asparagus was big and tasteless. Two different types of fries came with burgers - but we were never offered options. A pricey meal for bad food. Shame on the managers for delivering such poor quality food and not indicating what would be different from the menus. Won’t be back.
Four of us gathered to celebrate a birthday. We sat outside and it was very comfortable with a beautiful and unique view for the area. The chaututeri board was a disappointment with two different aged meats, three different small diced cheeses that could have come from Meijer, and a handful of crackers. No crusty bread, honey or Dijon. No cabochons, no candied walnuts or fruit. The whitefish (cod) was small and nothing special. The risotto was an ice cream scoop of cold risotto and a few very large asparagus spears. One person's sirloin and another's salmon was ok. They were out of cheesecake for dessert and only had about a tablespoon of chocolate syrup left to accompany the cannolli that didn't resemble anything I've had before and not in a good way. The drinking water had a strange and not so good taste. This place could be amazing with better food.
