“Amazing food, great vibe! Much needed option on OMP.”
“We had a wonderful visit to Shady Lane Cellars while we were in the Traverse City area. Sitting outside with a glass of wine made for such a relaxing afternoon—the vineyard views are beautiful and the atmosphere is peaceful. Our favorite was the Pinot Gris. It was crisp, refreshing, and the perfect wine to enjoy on a warm day. The staff was friendly and made the tasting experience enjoyable without ever feeling rushed. We’d definitely come back on our next trip!”

“Came in for dinner and really enjoyed the warm, classic tavern environment. The servers are wonderfully welcoming, and listening to stories from the locals at the bar is easily the best part of being here.
As for the meal, the food was alright—perfectly fine tavern fare, though the prices feel a bit steep for what you get. You're definitely paying a bit of a premium for the location, but the cozy vibe, friendly service, and local charm make it a fun spot to sit down, grab a drink, and catch up.”

“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.”

“Very good wines. Had a flight of wine. 3 were dry white and one dry red. All were very good, a surprising blend of Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay was very good. Hadn't been there in a while, was glad we revisited. Will not wait as long between visits.”

“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!”
“This is a very special winery. I have been a member for about 20 years. The service is excellent along with award winning wines. It is a very comfortable atmosphere. It is a must stop.”
“Beautiful winery, amazing service, and a beautiful view!”
“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.”
“Raising the bar on great dining options in our Village of Northport with an ever changing “Chefs feature” that is always unique and tasty.”
“We absolutely loved our tour with Jess yesterday! She is extremely knowledgeable about the history and process at 2 Lads. Her enthusiasm and zest for life show through. We loved learning about wine and it was so fun to hear her process for selecting the yummy cheeses and snacks that highlight the wines. We’ll be looking forward to wine club pickups and future visits to this spectacular location and an operation that is clearly doing things right. Thank you!”

“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.”
“The outside is inviting but the middle aged lady inside taking the orders was straight up rude and their ordering process is out of the whack. Basic sandwiches. Soups were phenomenal. Basic wine list. Overall not very pleasant.”
“I've been wanting to go there for years, and it sure didn't disappoint. Such a great spot. I went there during off-hours on a Sunday, and it was still fun.
I want to go back and check out some live music sometime”

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!”

“We had Barb’s donuts catered for our wedding this past July and received nothing but positive comments about donuts for dessert! Barb’s has the BEST donuts in northern Michigan and their service is outstanding. We were very impressed with their catering!”
“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!”
“Our new favorite spot for doughnuts!”

“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 ate here about an hour before a concert so we were expecting a long wait for not only a table but hour meals. Turns out wasn't the case, there were plenty of tables/booths. Food is sort of what you would expect a casino/burger bar but a better. Had plenty of options, including daily specials. Service was quick and helpful. Thank you again!”
