“We celebrated our anniversary at The Riverside. Every course was excellent. The onion focaccia, rack of lamb and pistachio olive oil cake were our favorites from the fall menu. Excellent service too! Thank you Ginny.”

“We had an excellent experience at Verterra Winery.

Brian was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and clearly a true wine connoisseur. His recommendations were exceptional, and thanks to him we enjoyed both white and red wines that were truly impressive.

His knowledge and passion really elevated the entire tasting experience.

Highly recommend a visit, and if you have the chance, ask for Brian.”

“The waitress Julie, gave us phenomenal service. She was upbeat and so pleasant! The 3 other women that I was with, agree that we all had an unforgettable dining experience. The food was awesome as well! We were fascinated by the drink pictured and all of us kissed the fish for luck, then ate it, too”

“Best baguette sandwiches 😍”

“Fantastic lil shop! We already love Hive, so Little Boat unsurprisingly does not disappoint. The barista was great, and the location with skylights and all is still such a perfect match for Leland. I’m excited to revisit and see how this shop develops.”

“Trish’s Dishes in Leland is absolutely fantastic! The food is fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. You can really tell everything is made with care and quality ingredients. The menu has great variety and every dish I’ve tried has been delicious.

The Turkey Wasabi sandwich is the reason I keep coming back—it’s incredible. The flavors are perfectly balanced and it’s one of the best sandwiches I’ve had.

The service is always friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has that great local feel. If you’re in Leland and looking for amazing food, this spot is a must-try. Highly recommend!”

“Welcome back! One of Leelanau counties favorite. Great drinks, service, and food!”

“There are bartenders and there are bartenders like Luke Wiesen! Luke won’t be just be your bartender, he’ll become your friend and then family!
Bogey’s has not only a great bar, but amazing food and waitstaff too. Say ‘hi’ to Violetta, she is one of the amazing waitresses.
Sooo much seating and the views from the deck are incredible!
I definitely recommend the dry rub bbq wings and I’m told the carrot cake is out of this world!”

“This restaurant is the best. Everyone has a great attitude, the restaurant is well organized and the food delicious.”

“cool environment n awesome lil scavenger hunt icecream hits just right!”

“Found this gem with my girlfriends. The hosts were so welcoming, especially Betty! We wanted to add her to our group!!

The wine was delicious, the grounds were beautiful, the entertainment was wonderful. I can’t wait to make another trip back. Thank you so much.”

“Friendly staff and exceptional Mexican food at reasonable prices. Always a must stop in TC when hunger hits.”

“Stopped in on Sunday 3/16. Middle of a snow storm but they were open. Guy was working the bar and was pleasant to talk witymh as I enjoyed a pint. He was informed of the industry and welcoming on a crappy day. I look forward to going again.”

“I had a sandwich at Lylah’s today, amazing quality and could easily had fed two people. The flavor was incredible. I am happy to say this is one of my most favorite restaurants in Leelanau county. Staff were very friendly, pleasant environment and clean. Give it a try, don’t think you will be disappointed. Great place!”

“Great new spot! Liked it so much we ate there twice this week. Good wine, great food and wonderful service. Our new favorite place in Leelanau.”

“Love all their goodies and the pizza is to die for. Always make a trip there when we are up in the area on vacation.”

“We stopped in for an after lunch, early dinner. We weren't looking for a spot necessarily but definitely glad we did. Very cozy feel, definitely family friendly. Good drink options and appetizers as well. We had a fish sandwich and a Reuben and both were excellent. Service is super fast and the staff is really friendly.”

“Great people and delicious iced vanilla latte and iced cafe mocha. Highly recommended.”

“Green Bird is a little slice of Heaven! They even practice sustainable farming via their “flerd“ (flock of chickens and herd of sheep) who rotate through each row of vines. I sat down and immediately signed up for the wine club because I knew this was something I wanted to support! And yes, the server was new this season but very knowledgeable and warm. No high-brow wine snobbery here! P.S. wine and cheese pairings are fantastic.”

“The inn is very quiet and offers many facilities. Staff, wines and food first class. We have attended events and did the ultimate package. Everything was above and beyond what was described when booking. Beautiful property a short drive from Sutton’s Bay where several unique shops offer something to do if the weather turns.”

“Bel Lago is such a beautiful spot with stunning lake views and always amazing live music. My favorite part is seeing their garden in full bloom during the summer it’s absolutely magical. Their experimental takes on wines and delicious aged reds always impress, and it’s such a treat when Blake, the winemaker, pops into the tasting room (it’s so interesting to hear what he’s working on in the cellar).”

“I've been to a lot of breweries but I couldn't wait to leave this one fast enough. The place was very dirty and run down. I'm an outdoor person but I couldn't walk through the joint without nats flying up my nose. There were bags of trash next to our table. The floors were covered in dirt and weeds outside. They obviously take no pride in their bulding and land. The beer was good, but didn't mind the extra protein. I never leave reviews, but I had too. The two stars are for the beer and the pizza looked good. Although there were some definite health code violations with the food. It would take so little to make this place great. Definitely disappointed.”

“Amazing service and flavors”

“Our new favorite spot for doughnuts!”

“We are locals and frequent Hawkin’s Farm Cellars a lot. The service is friendly and the Thai food is exceptional. My husband especially loves the Pad Thai chicken and I am a huge fan of the Green Curry dish. You could literally close your eyes and just point to anything on the menu and never be disappointed!”

“Truly a special meal. This was BETTER than the photos. Every single thing we ate (baked mozzarella, parfait, salmon Benedict, apple pancake) was so incredibly delicious. Honestly the best meal of the trip. Service was also wonderful. So glad we made the trip out here.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What an absolutely wonderful experience at Willow Winery! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine hospitality, beautiful scenery, and an atmosphere that instantly made us feel relaxed and welcome.

A special shoutout to Tracy, who truly made our visit unforgettable. Her knowledge, warmth, and passion for both the winery and the wines were evident in every interaction. She took the time to explain each selection, answer questions, and make personalized recommendations that were spot-on. Tracy has that rare gift of making every guest feel like a VIP, and her enthusiasm is contagious.

The wines were fantastic, the setting was stunning, and the service was exceptional. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or simply looking for a beautiful place to spend an afternoon, Willow Winery is an absolute must-visit. Experiences like this are what keep people coming back, and Tracy is a huge part of what makes this winery so special.

We can’t wait to return!”

“This place may be ranked #2 beer garden in the US, but I can guarantee the #1 beer garden is nowhere near as good as Hop Lot. Their brisket sandwich was very delicious. The pretzels were also super good. I was here for a Bachelors trip and was a little tipsy and they treated me very well. They were very helpful and several waiters checked on me throughout. We need to make this place the #1 beer garden because this place is a must if you are in the area.”

“WOW. This restaurant is one of the best I’ve ever been to. The food was absolutely incredible— the chicken in the Pad Thai was so juicy and delicious. The medium level was great spice, I asked for extra spice and she brought a dish of their signature spice mix (the chef grows the chilis in the garden out back) and WOW. It was spicy!! Truly such an amazing spot!! We will definitely be back next time we visit!”

“We stopped in for ice cream with friends during our vacation. Delicious ice cream, friendly staff, and a great patio out back. We will be back every year! If you're local, please frequent Capitol Dog! If you're vacationing, be sure to make a stop there!”
