I love the new menu! Lots of choices for those who crave delicious meat, fish or vegetarian food. A spectacular setting, plus great service. Some great wine, at various but reasonable price points. Limited mixed drink options. Highly recommended!

Great restaurant right on crystal lake! Food was amazing, atmosphere was perfect; quiet and comfortable with an amazing view. Service was excellent! Food was really the highlight though. Everything was prepared perfectly and the variety of appetizers and entrees was great. We had the steak frites, lamb oso bucco and pork pasta. The poutine appetizer was the best, not that I've ever come across poutine that I didn't like but this was the best I've had. Charcuterie board was really good too!
Parking: Parking is on the street but there's plenty of street available to park on. You'll have to walk a short distance from the roadside to the restaurant but that pretty par for the course with lakeside restaurants in northern Michigan.
Kid-friendliness: We found it to be very kind friendly. The waitress mentioned a chicken tender basket for kids that is not on the menu but is available. Ours ended up getting oso bucco though and were very happy with that.

The view from the porch is so good, the food does not need to be this good - but it is. The cocktails are delicious. This place is a gem.

Rocks Landing is a really special little place out of the way on Crystal Lake. The atmosphere is so welcoming and unpretentious yet the food is elegant, elevated and totally delicious. The service was FANTASTIC from start to finish. 100% would recommend.

While on vacation in northern Michigan it was our anniversary and we looked to Rocks Landing for an upscale meal. The Rock did not disappoint. All six of us came away with a pleasant dining experience. The menu, while not extensive, offered a selection of seafood and meats and all were tasty and well prepared. The restaurant is small and situated right on the lake, so reservations are a must. Parking is minimal at the restaurant but additional parking is available nearby. We enjoyed our anniversary dining experience and would recommend Rocks Landing.

I had the Steak friets ordered medium got it Med rare. Waiter just said I will tell the cheif did not offer to fix. Menu posts the danger of eating under cooked meat then you don't cook it. I had to look up on Goggle what many of the dishes were. The fries are to be fries that you drag threw the meat juices on your plate. No meat juice on my plate

A bit pricey, but worth it! Lovely seating on the lake. The sauce on their roasted Brussel sprouts was to die for! Scallops were cooked perfectly and I’ve never had a cauliflower purée that smooth! Desserts were lovely as well. Highly recommend for a high end meal with beautiful views!
we love rocks landing, the food is awesome and the views are even better! staff are very nice, fun unique dishes, and again the atmosphere is something truly special.

This is a seasonal restaurant right in the edge of Crystal Lake. They only do dinner. Great service, delicious food, and a beautiful view. Our server was Holly and she was wonderful. Parking can be tough here. The menu does change - I don't know how frequently though.
Parking: They have designated parking just for Rocks Landing, but depending on how many people are at the restaurant, it can be pretty packed.
Kid-friendliness: They don't have a kids menu. But they do have high chairs if your little one joins along. We had a baby with us and it was no problem at all.
