Stopped in for a post-snowshoe snack. Both the Chicken and Beef Noodle Soups were out of this world good. Artichoke dip to die for and the Key Lime Pie off the charts! Our waitress Lily was super friendly, helpful and nice. Will definitely be back for a main course entree. The dinner menu was over the top – not what you’d expect for a place so far north on the peninsula. Super reasonable prices to top it off! Definitely worth the trip!

Beautiful decor. Great service. Good prices. Don’t eat anywhere else on the peninsula. We arrived midafternoon on a Friday in early October. We split a half pound cheeseburger off their smaller happy hour menu. It was perfectly cooked and plenty for two. There is a gorgeous art studio there too. Definitely go there!

We had our first marriage anniversary dinner there. The lamb chop was very good. Crab cakes were much better. We also got a complimentary dessert which made it very special.

Great place for dinner on the peninsula, crab cakes were the best, food and ambiance were really good. Service was excellent, Lilly is a professional. Will both be back and recommend.

Love their prime rib. It’s what prime rib should be. As good as that restaurant on Long Lake, for a lot less. The only difference is here they serve mashed potatoes & that other restaurant serves a baked potato. But there’s many other tasty entreés to try. Cocktails are also reasonably priced. Service is excellent. And they have homemade bread that’s warm out of the oven. The brownie sundae is huge & yummy! Their decor is a little tired, but everything else about the experience is awesome!

A lovely spot in a lovely setting! Gorgeous drive past plenty of orchards and vinyards, plenty of parking. Kind, attentive staff. Amazing food at good prices. We tried the escargot, prime rib, and rack of lamb. Their warm foccocia bread tasted amazing. Plenty of diverse, local, original art to look at, apparently the owner is also an artist. Great covid porcedures. I’d love to go back on a day with even nicer weather!

Little place bringing big flavor. Stopped in between winery visits. My food was in front of me in under 10 minutes. There is artwork decorating the place that is for sale that just adds an extra touch. I’d absolutely come back.

Been here many times over the course of many years with my family. They have excellent food, excellent service, and a more relaxed dining atmosphere (which I appreciate). I absolutely love the grilled brandy shrimp, their prime rib, and their crab cakes. Every time we finish a meal we go to their art gallery in the next room to browse before leaving. I’ve lived in Traverse City for 24 years and can say confidently this is one of my top 3 restaurants in the area.
