Sadly this restaurant has really gone downhill. While the decor is nice, the food is not good and a deep clean is needed. Had the tenderloin salad, which came out with almost no dressing, two wispy red onions on top and a wedge of mushy rotten tomato. The tenderloin was cooked as ordered but was cold. The server was friendly but scarce, and they were not busy when we were there. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Overall, it was a poor experience. We won't be back.

Booths were open by the windows but all were reserved. We agreed to sit at a booth away from the window. It was fine but the hostess acted as if we were asking for something unreasonable. I had a blue cheese burger. The blue cheese sauce has an odd sweetness to it. The burger was cooked properly though so I ate it.My husband has fish and chips. He said that both the Tartar sauce and Cole slaw tasted strange. He has an upset stomach after dinner. My friends split a $45 ribeye and they loved it.. As far as atmosphere goes, it was a chilly wet day but there was no fire in the fireplace. That would have been nice. I guess my overall summer is in the middle. Oh, they did have an amazing salad of sweet and sour cucumber and yellow and red peppers. It was off the chain!

Off-season experience was sub-par with friendly but inept service and middling quality food. For the price and with the long-standing name, more is expected.

My daughter took me out for restaurant week. The food was good, altho my daughter ordered a glass of wine, being 29 she immediately pulled out her ID and the server looked at it, a few minutes later she came back and saidAll I seen was 1994 ( her birth year) and she asked to see it again. Huh? She literally said my daughter's birth year but proceeded to take her ID again and stared at it for long time. I'm not sure what she needed. Other than the year she was born it was very odd and uncomfortable for both of us. I replied, Well if it's 1994. What more do you need to see? Waitress said she was "confused by all the numbers". Huh? It's a michigan Driver's license and if the numbers confused her maybe she shouldn't be serving in the bar area.
Loved the food, it was super delish. We had salads, soup, and chicken tenders. My date had the Cranberry Aperol drink, which was tasty if a little sweet.The Gorgonzola-chive dressing is a hit, and the chicken tenders seemed hand breaded. My mom’s squash soup was super sweet, so if you like that, you’ll love it. She ended up adding salt for her taste.Our bartender/waitress seemed so out of it. It took forever for her to talk to us, couldn’t remember what we ordered (had to walk back to confirm three separate times) and brought the dressings for the salads to the wrong people by itself.It was not busy by any stretch. It made a delicious lunch off putting by making us uncomfortable in having to check and recheck the order.We got the flourless chocolate cake for dessert and it was… weird. So cold that you couldn’t spoon through the ganache on top. When the waitress dropped it off, she said “sorry, the whipped cream is dead.” Lol it was just kind of a weird experience.

We enjoyed the smoked fish pate’ and battered cod with truffle fries. The service was great and the atmosphere is cozy. We will be back. As a side note, the website shows an all-day happy hour menu. This was not mentioned, they didn’t have all of the beverages listed, and the prices were different on our bill. This did not negatively impact our experience but might if you are going for the happy hour specials.

Had a beautiful birthday lunch with My Daughter and her friends. Food was awesome and the view was beautiful across Grand Traverse Bay! Wish I would have gotten pics, fortunately for Me, I am blessed to see it everyday. Absolutely Love My Hometown!
