“Aerie Restaurant & Lounge, perched on the 16th floor of the Grand Traverse Resort in Traverse City, Michigan, is nothing short of mesmerizing. It was the perfect venue for a special birthday celebration, surrounding us with breathtaking 360-degree views of Lake Michigan and an elegant, unforgettable ambiance. The dining was exceptional, from the perfectly prepared 8-ounce filet that melted like butter to the generous, impeccably presented portions. Our server, Will, went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our celebratory dinner was special and memorable. Thank you, Aerie, for such a remarkable experience—we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful evening!“

“The main issue I have is when paying our bill. They added a service fee on top of our bill. When I asked about it the waitress said they do that because they haven't raised their menu prices. I think it is a pretty deceptive practice to have menu prices but really charge more for the meal then what te menu indicates.
I can understand raising prices but don't lie to the customer about what the true food cost is.“

“I was blown away at the special delicious dinner line up as advertised for this week! They just didn’t mention it would be one of, THE BEST dinners I have ever had. Lobster Ravioli, Halibut, Raspberry Tiramisu, a wonderful combination! Highly recommend !! Call ahead on the halibut if need be, as it’s coming in fresh! 🎣 Thank you Jodi, Adam and everyone for a great evening, so yum!“

“Love the atmosphere! Staff is amazing. If you are in Traverse City, it’s a must!“

“Would I recommend? Hmm. Our server was great ( I wish I got her name) but she was overwhelmed and they were under staffed. The food? Not great. Everything was overdone. The cornbread was dry. I ordered the seared tune salad and the tuna was more medium well. The music could have been a little more upbeat for a weekend. While we all ( a party of 6) ate our food, it wasn’t the greatest. It may have just been an off night, every restaurant has some. I felt bad for our server. She was such a sweetheart. She can’t control the cooking staff or management. Management needs to learn that they need to take better care of their staff to make sure that patrons experience is above satisfied. Will I come back? Maybe. But it might be a long while? Will I recommend? If someone asks me about I will be honest. Will I come out and say you have to go there? No. But I won’t discourage anyone from trying it.“

“Kudos, bloodymary, truffle fries, and italian sub. All very tasty.“
