It was our first visit to Doc's on the River…read more The restaurant recently just changed names and ownership. The new owner also renovated the restaurant and the up north vibes are cozy and welcoming. There is a very large parking lot. When we walked in, there was just a small nook to stand while we waited for a table. It was very busy, but expected for dinner time on a Saturday night. There was not a host at the stand so some other guest had a pen and was adding everyone's name to the list. Which ended up being very helpful actually! The host came back to tend to those waiting when she had time. She was very pleasant and kind. The space could be a family restaurant, but I would say it definitely leans more towards a sports bar. There is a full bar, high top tables, regular tables and lots of tvs playing sports. Every table was full when we were there and it was pretty loud. Towards the end of our visit it started to clear out a little bit. We noticed that when it did get quieter when people started leaving, there was not any music playing or anything. It kind of made it awkward feeling. We had the jalapeño corn bites as an appetizer. They were served with ranch. The bites were ok. I probably wouldn't order them again. For our entrees, my boyfriend and I both had the broiled walleye. It was very good and it was not dry. The mashed potatoes were amazing and my favorite part of the meal. The veggies were fine, nothing fancy! Our waitress seemed stressed and you could very much tell. The place was very busy but she was still attentive and helpful. They do have very nice restrooms. The place felt clean. Overall a good spot if you are passing through.

The drinks were the highlight of our visit, and the food has mixed opinions at our table. I would highly recommend the a Mango Margarita because it tasted so fresh and refreshing! I also enjoyed the Sangria Swirl for a nice berry twist on their margarita mix. And the Mexican lollipop was delicious and the flavors mixed so well that the taste of alcohol was very minor. The coconut margarita was good but pretty plain compared to the other drinks as expected. The Queso Dip was really unique. I probably wouldn't order it again as it's very different from the runny white queso we love so much. This one was thicker and tasted like it has Brie cheese in it, similar texture too where it kinda sticks together and is not runny The Steak Fajitas were tasty and came with so much! The steak seemed a little tough but had good flavor. The Roadhouse Quesadilla was okay. Chicken seemed okay but there was so much cheese that it didn't hold together well, maybe it was cut into too many pieces though. The pineapple salsa on the side was so good though! I really loved the atmosphere here, the seating is mixed between indoor and outdoor, half of the outdoor seating is grad a drink while you wait, but again, everyone is so nice that you barely notice the wait! A little caution with sitting outside is that bugs/flies do really wanna taste your food too which can be annoying but there's nothing you can really do about it. Our wait was estimated to be 1 hour 15 minutes, but we were seating in around 45-50 minutes. I was surprised with how busy it was on a Tuesday night, but it is the week of 4th of July!

They weren't like anything I'd ever had before and it seems like the owner's own twist on a taco. Very good. The spring rolls were a favorite. So hot and fresh and the sweet and sour dipping sauce was great. We were not blown away by the sesame chicken. The chicken was a little bit mushy although the flavor was good! I would definitely stop by here again. Serving sizes are very generous.

Husband opted for the burger and I tried the Wagu Sirloin. I must admit, I was a little hesitant ordering a sirloin. But, it did not disappoint. Cooked maybe just a little longer than the temp I ordered but it was tender and especially well seasoned. Seasonal vegetable was bourbon cinnamon glazed carrots and it was a pleasant surprise. Burger was worth the price. Overall I'd say this is a welcome change to the sports bar. We liked their food but absolutely enjoy these options more. Priced aligned with other casinos.

They offer plenty of baked goods inside, though we didn't get a chance to try them. Cute modern, yet cozy, light and open space with a bakery feel right when you enter. This place is a gem in tiny Arcadia!

The smoked whitefish dip looked like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. My entree came with a wedge. The lettuce was turning red, so it was obviously not fresh. There were about two bacon crumbles in the salad and a teaspoon of bleu cheese sprinkled on it. I ordered the halibut. It came out dry and tough, and I could tell by the film on the hollandaise sauce that it had also been sitting under a heat lamp for awhile. They also mixed up our sides. This place charges haute prices but offers mid dishes and service.

We spent a…read morelong weekend in the Manistee area and got a recommendation to eat at The Glenwood which was just a short drive north from where we were. I called for reservations the day before and found that only very early or very late was available. We also were given an option of seating in the restaurant or on the porch. We chose the porch and early reservation. We were seated at a nice table with a view of Portage Lake. We started with wine, (even though we bought copious amounts of wine on our trip, the wine list couldn't be ignored) my wife enjoying a glass of Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc and me a glass of cab. It was recommended we try their Almond Battered Shrimp. This appetizer was served with a cherry mustard sauce that was wonderful. The menu said jumbo shrimp and yes, they were jumbo with that nice "steak like" texture and flavor. For dinner my wife ordered the Whitefish special (Whitefish is on the regular menu but the special preparation was a bit different). This presentation had wilted spinach, onions with a light Parmesan crust. She let me try some and we both agreed this was the best whitefish either of have ever had. I ordered the "Everything Tuna". This was yellowfin tuna with light and dark sesame seeds, poppy seeds. onion, garlic and salt. I ordered it extremely rare (so rare a good vet could resuscitate it) with wasabi. This was a taste sensation. Dinners included broccoli and an excellent salad. The dressing was so good we bought a bottle on the way out. A "loaf" containing four rolls was also included. Our server was Cyrillia and her service was as outstanding as it gets. Often when I'm enjoying service of this calibre, I look around and see if we just got lucky or is everyone getting great service. It seemed that the service standard at The Glenwood is high. On the drive back to our hotel, we tried to come up with restaurants we've enjoyed as much. The list is slim with The Glenwood at or near the top.
