The Beacon Bistro Reviews
Amazing food, drinks, views & staff. The shrimp scampi linguini paired with a delicious Pure Michigan bourbon cocktail was fantastic but the bolognese keeps my wife coming back again & again. Highly recommend for a one of a kind dining experience.
Very mediocre food for the price.
The crab cake was tasteless if you did not use the chili sauce for a bit of kick!
Tuna poke had very little taste and was over whelmed by all the soy sauce, rice, jalapeños and fruit.
A chicken salad croissant was substituted by a chicken salad wrap. The potato chips were good though.
The server was great Becca waited on us.
Good views but no value for the price.

The Beacon Bistro offers a delightful dining experience with tasty dishes and a stunning view of Little Traverse Bay. Popular menu items include the walleye, shrimp and scallop rigatoni, mustard crusted salmon, blackened and Greek chicken naan, and Hudson burger. The breathtaking view makes the restaurant a perfect spot for a memorable meal. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with dishes like the walleye earning high praise and the mustard crusted salmon delighting even those who typically do not enjoy mustard. Service is friendly and attentive, with servers going out of their way to ensure a great experience, as noted by staff checking in promptly and making recommendations. While some may find the prices a bit high, the complimentary chips are a satisfying alternative to fries, which are not highly recommended. The atmosphere combines a small bar vibe with a welcoming environment, and the beautiful view contributes to the restaurant's popularity among visitors. The decor and service quality create a refined yet relaxed experience, making it a lovely place to enjoy a meal.
