“Fun place. It was super crazy busy this Sunday evening, but we found the last 2 seats at the bar next to an interesting couple, Charles and Cathy. Our bartender, Heather, was excellent. She kept the busy bar humming and mixes a super tasty matgrita. We will return.“

“amazing food and service every time! Love that they have thr same staple menu along with items thsy change throughout the year, always something new to try 😊“

“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.“

“We had such a great experience at Stein Eriksen's that we ate there two nights in a row. To start, the decor is Alpine, a perfect fit overlooking the slopes. Scott, the host, greeted us so warmly and checked in to make sure everything was going well. Its team members like this that create an experience that is memorable! They were absolutely booked on the holiday weekend, but service was seamless. Mark and Tim were both attentive servers and knew the menu well. The Alpine inspired menu was delicious and fitting for the setting.“

“OMG the grilled ham and Brie with cranberry is UNBELIEVABLE!!! Today’s special, the “Fresh & Cool” (turkey, grapes, & dill salad) was delicious and just the right size serving. Shout out to Caitlin for graciously gifting us a homemade sweet treat!“

“The best sandwiches in the area! I never modify their sandwiches because they are so good the way they come, even if I think I don't like something. My go-to hot sandwich is the Inflector Gadget - an unusual pick for me since I almost always get the same thing at other delis - a turkey sandwich. I recommend the Cool sandwich on their cold offerings. SO GOOD. As for pickup, I've never had a problem. You don't need to be from the area to see how busy the best restaurants and shops get here. Even though that can be overwhelming, Lake Street Market has always been great getting my sandwich order ready for a timely pick-up. I make sure I call ahead to place my order, planning on about an hour wait time, though in my experience (since I don't call right at peak busy hours) they have been able to have my order ready in 20-30 minutes. 😋 Also, I have to add the packaging of the sandwiches is great. It may sound silly, but they have always packed my sandwich in a very clean/neat way. I really appreciate that.“

“The wings were a great lunch today! Great food !“

“Fabulous!!!! Service and food. Jasmine took such great care of me regarding food allergies. What a treat! Jasmine is just awesome . Sooo impressed with the kitchen . The chefs were very polite and made me a beautiful brunch! Thank you for a lovely experience!“

“Despite the precious bad reviews, we had a good experience. Food was tasty (fish & chips and sushi). Our server, Edwina was pleasant and punctual serving us. Nice view of the slopes from our table. Yes the food is pricey but that’s with any restaurant on this property - it is what it is. You go in knowing that.“

“Great experience here the Thursday & Friday before Labor Day. Very friendly and helpful staff. In the heart of Bayview with wonderful historic homes that are beautifully maintained. If you like “new & shiny” this isn’t your place, but if you love history and historic architecture, walking tours, etc this is the place. A little over a mile walk to downtown Petoskey and lots of interesting walks within the Bayview community. Great restaurant with outstanding food! I must say I missed the restaurant being open for breakfast like it was years ago, as I prefer a hot breakfast with eggs to a continental breakfast, but the continental breakfast did have a wide selection of pastries and included cold peeled hard boiled eggs, some other savory choices, juice, tea & coffee. The dinner & dessert choices at the restaurant were all absolutely outstanding!!! I had a difficult time choosing each night and the service was great as well.“

“The pup cups were a hit! We’ve created monsters now!“

“I had the pecan and coconut pancakes with their homemade syrup and bacon which were excellent! The wait staff was amazing. It was my first Bistro experience since they moved from downtown Petoskey.“

“Joe and crew made us feel welcomed. drinks were quickly served as we waited for a table, then decided to stay at the bar. between 630 and 7, there was 20 minute wait for a table. it took probably 20 minutes to get appetizers, but the rings and skins were worth the wait! we didn't feel rushed and enjoyed the food and chat with fellow bar guests. shout out to all for blessing me with hot banana peppers for my corona!!!!!! the cod and fries special was on point!!! worth mentioning, the hot sauce selection!! thanks Southwoods for a great meal!!“

“The food here is always spot on. Can’t miss the crab soup! The bourbon selection is the best in the area.“

“We came in on a Tuesday & were sat right away. Our server, Andrea, was excellent and had great service. The food was nothing short of top notch!! French onion soup is a must try, and their grilled cheese is exceptional!! Everything was great & we will definitely be back again. We have eaten at every restaurant at the resort and this is by far the best!!“

“It was expensive and we had our little tea cup yorkie with us that the young kid wouldn't let us bring in even if we held it the whole time. So one had to go in for the food and we had to eat outside. The food truck on the other side of the sky bridge had a good selection, reasonable prices, and plenty of picnic tables to eat at“
