The cherry house dressing….. ANOTHER LEVEL!!! Sooooooo good! Bought a bottle and made a salad the next day with it lol. To be honest, Before coming here I didn’t expect to have enjoyed this place as much as I did. The herb chicken was amazing. Everyone at the table loved what they had. The apps were the coconut shrimp and whitefish tar tar? I believe it was… anywho it was very good as well. You won’t be disappointed. We drove 35 mins, but I think this will be a spot during our upnorth vacation moving forward. :)

Delicious food, smaller portions at lower prices from 4-6pm.a wide variety of indoor and outdoor seating areas. Frog legs were tasty, also came with soup or salad along with potato or veggies. A veggie tray and hot bread also came with meal. The chocolate dessert was decadent! Very friendly staff.

Got lucky and scored a reservation for the next day, when we tried to just show up for dinner. Just so happened I ate there on their busiest day ever! Wait staff is pleasant and helpful, kitchen is gifted, even if they can get emotional. (We heard rumors of their exasperation with the relentless pace of a busy day/night.) Overall it was really excellent food. Two of us had the duck and it was some of the best I've ever had, juicy, crispy, flavorful. I subtracted one point only for the outdoor dining experience. It needs to be more bug-resistant, maybe a netted tent? A meal here is a must if you are in this area of Michigan. Highly Recommended!
