“Visited for the first time during Restaurant Week and had an amazing experience. Our waiter Jim was very charming and attentive, making my friend and I feel very relaxed and welcome as each course was served. I chose to add the optional wine pairing and my friend enjoyed their Lady Lavender cocktail which I tried a little sample of. Our drinks were delicious, the wines complementing each dish perfectly. We learned Jim is also the sommelier and curated the wine selections for the menu. He definitely did an excellent job. I started the meal with the Octopus that was cooked perfectly, very tender which can be tricky. She had the Lamb Arancini and joked it would difficult to eat regular meatballs again. We both had the Morel Bisque and raved about the creaminess and how flavorful it was. Entree for me was the Scallops, again cooked perfectly and the Lobster Risotto was amazing. I savored every bite, wishing I could have another serving of the risotto. She tried the Veal Osso Bucco and commented how it was the best way to try a dish for the first time. She even had a bonus taste of bone marrow. The only miss in our main dishes was the Blue Cheese Polenta. Her Lemon Blueberry Butter Cake and my Creme Brulee were the perfect ending to our experience, both just enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. We both plan to visit again and try their regular menu and will be recommending our friends give this gem a try.“
“Went on a family trip to the Traverse City area and checked this place out for snow tubing. Lines went quick and the boys working were friendly and entertaining for the whole time. If we are back in town will definitely return for more tubing and hopefully some skiing if the weather can cooperate.“
“2 pm on a Monday. I got the Philly roll, sub shrimp for crab. The shrimp was fried. Honestly such a solid substitute (thanks Maria). The roll was an 8.5/10. It hit the spot.Maria was my server. She was super nice, and ONNN IT. I was slamming waters and she had them refilled before I could even get to the bottom (seems like a small thing, but anticipating needs is what makes a great experience from a great server - most places take forever to refill waters).I was kind of in a rush, never said I was or thought I made it apparent, but she acutely picked up on the vibe and got my food so fast, and brought the check in perfect timing.The place had a really cool vibe and a lot of natural light. Solid choice!“
“We were a party of five. Our food came out promptly and hot. The Tavern Burger and fries were amazing. The seafood chowder was even better! The side salad was way above average with spring greens and multiclor tomtoes. The wood fire pizza is legit. And when one of us ordered carrot cake for dinner, the server didn't blink an eye!“
“I love this place! I don't go to TC without stopping in. They have good food and I like the atmosphere as well. I also enjoy the beer selection. I prefer lagers over ales and they only have ales so I have to make concessions there. Most small brewers like ales because they are fast and easy to brew. But maybe we could try a lager? Just an idea. Overall I never miss a chance to go here and will continue.“
“I went here as part of an after work event. There were 7 of us on the tubing hill and we had a great time. Prices were reasonable, all the staff were helpful and equipment and area were well maintained.I want to give a shout out to Titus who was working the top of the hill. You couldn’t ask for a more professional, polite, and happy person to oversee those about to tube down the hill. Great job Titus!There is plenty of parking. Recommend booking tubing ahead of time so you can pre fill out the waivers and make sure you have a spot.“
