Food and service is great. Management is horrible. I visited once and place was busy so I sat at the bar. After sitting for some time I was told it was a private event. Great, why not put a sign on the door? Two weeks later I went in and two other groups went in when I did. After waiting to be seated for a few minutes the little hostess from next door came over to say place was closed. Again no sign.

Delicious Halibut with curry vegetables. Highly recommend. Ask for medium temp

We were in Traverse City for our honeymoon and came to Slate for our “fancy” dinner night. The food was amazing and the service was great. The only downside is that some of the seating is too close to other people. We were right next to a family (our tables were 12 inches from eachother) that had two kids, and let’s just say one of the kids was not happy the entire time. It would’ve been a better atmosphere and more peaceful if we had more privacy. Wish we got a booth for our special night.

Had a very pleasant birthday dinner in a quiet, modern environment. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and Carter killed it as our server/bartender. We'll go back next time we're in town.

The food and service were wonderful! Our booth was well located so it helped with the date night experience. Carter was an unbelievably server. He was so willing to share insights into the food and recommend exceptional dishes. It was truly a wonderful evening.

Oh my gosh what a delight. First - our server Carter was magnificent. He was also the bar tender and our drinks were delicious. He recommended selections, and they were terrific! My husband, who is very particular about the rareness of his steaks, was delighted with his steak. My dad and I loved the tomato basil soup, my crab cakes were probably the best I've ever had, and my dad loved his salmon. The dessert pie was lick-the-plate yummy. We can't wait to go back.

The most amazing place i have ever ate at.. our waiter Carter was absolutely a delight 10/10 😊
Lauren Erickson
The food was fantastic, beat only by the stellar service we received ( there was a mistake with the bill and it seems the tip was wrong. I will be returning to give our server the rest of his well earned tip). We had the place all to ourselves. We wish we lived closer to frequent more often.

Fantastic place! Good Food, cozy environment, with modest entertainment. Not a big place. It gets crowded. Food was excellent. Service had to fight the crowd and cozy setting. Great food options.

Pork belly was atrocious, steak and ahi were pretty good. Service was fine. Ambiance was nice.
Decided to try....sat at bar with Seth! Holy wow, his drinks are amazing! He was fun! We enjoyed him! The food, AWESOME! I am gluten-free and enjoyed the Chicken Piccata, with the Antipasta salad. Super yummy! Glad we came in! Definitely worth the $!

Such a wonderful place to stop and enjoy a meal. The steak frites, gamberetti, whiskey crab and corn chowder, and carrot cake were out of this world. Highly recommend getting a seat at the bar, especially if Seth is serving. Seth makes not only great food recommendations but phenomenal cocktails. His espresso martinis were truly the best we’ve ever had! He made our dinner experience amazing, we will come back anytime we’re in town!
