    Really enjoyed our experience here and would be happy to come try dinner! Food service and vibes were great

    A friend had recommended this spot a while back and I'm glad I saved it. We were near by visiting the Skybridge and decide to get some dinner. I am so glad we came here. Our server Todd was really great! He answered all our questions and was attentive. It was a Saturday evening when we came in and they have live music. We did have about a 1/2 hour wait, as expected, but it was SO worth it! All of our food was phenomenal! We also ordered two drinks from their long list of non alcoholic options, both of which were very good! I would totally come back if we were in the area again.

    Always a must for my family when we stay in Boyne City. Great during all seasons, snow or shine! The location is great being right across from the water with patio seating available. They offer a massive list of cocktails and their food never disappoints. My favorites are Tuna Au Poivre and Chicken Marsala.

    Charcuterie Board - nice mix of a medium cheddar, tasty blue and wine soaked goat with meats (the slab on right is ham).

    Was excited to go to a nice place and enjoy some good food w friends. The place has a great vibe if you don't look down. There was just food and garbage under literally every table. Not what I would have expected here. We had the French onion soup and charcuterie board and a bottle of Rose. Everything was absolutely delicious. But seriously - sweep your floors. Our server was nice, attentive. Hit the spot but for the price - sweep your floors.

    Cafe Sante is so unique and it's right in the heart of Boyne City. It uniqueness comes due to its very European feel. They do a great job of ambiance and seriously I totally felt like Europe had come to the North Michigan. From the decor, signage, to an old feel of this has been here for centuries, they nailed it on atmosphere. They have a gorgeous outdoor patio for those amazing summer nights. We were able to take advantage of their Monday night pizza special which is not available in the summer, but it doesn't matter their pizza is just as good as full price. They have amazing other great menu items, but they do their pepperoni pizza well, it will not disappoint. You'll love Cafe Sante it has such a hip vibe and has music on certain nights, which is always a nice touch. This is for sure one of the best restaurants in Boyne City, it's awesome

    Steak frites. (Frites not pictured)

    We stopped at Cafe Sante for a late lunch on our way into Boyne Mountain. Service and food were both 10/10. We enjoyed a few happy hour drinks as well. We had the meatball appetizer to start and the marinara sauce so so fresh and flavorful, we ended up dipping the bread in the sauce too! For our entrees we had the chicken Marsala and steak frites. I really enjoyed the Marsala sauce and ended up mixing my noodles and veggies in it. Both meals very delicious and the steak was cooked to my husbands liking. We can't wait to try brunch next time we're in town.

    2nd time into Cafe Sante... pretty awesome spot. The ambiance is great (think Butchers Union for Grand Rapids, MI ppl), servers are joyful, and the food better than it should be for the price you pay. I got the steak frites w/ a cup of the duck French onion soup - very good. Other picture was the house special (chicken morel pastry type bake) also very tasty.

    It was a beautiful Labor Day Weekend day, our party of 4 was seated outside on the patio overlooking the water.... Our food was a decent portion, I don't remember much of the details now unfortunately except that my quiche and fresh berries were REALLYYYYYY GOOD! If you look at the photo, you can tell how perfectly the quiche is cooked and the berries are super fresh! The 2 items looked great and they tasted even better! So no complaints, a great view, anything by the water is a winner! I do recall our server being very friendly and attentive...and I remember we did have quite a few questions, she was also very patient! Definitely would recommend to anyone in the area. There are a lot of places to choose from, don't miss this one. It's right in the heart of the little town!

    This cleverly carved out waterfront café brings a taste of Europe to Northern Michigan. French, Italian and a wee bit of the Irish all in one bistro. It's a comfortable little niche' that's tastefully decorated fora harbor town that's a sure pleasure to visit. A little old world brought forward. The food is divine. Starting with the Duck French Onion soup. A diplomatic portion with an equally generous amount of Gruyère. The chunks of French bread complete this triumph! The combined creamy goodness and the sweet/spice of the Butternut Squash Bisque make it another winning start. The Chicken Marsala is a true triumph as well as the simple French dip sandwich. Our server, John, tells us it's made with bacon smoked pastrami. A definite must. If Tiramisù is offered, I'm obliging. This dish featured well saturated lady fingers with a mild, fluffy cream that provided a perfect balance. Not too rich, most certainly not bland. John is really the only member of staff we were exposed to. He was very professional, but ready to crack wise if you're up for it. It was fun! 10/23

    Do they have any items on menu that would be good for those diners with a gluten sensitivity? Will be in the area next week and looking for dining options that would suit and be good for my wife and her gluten sensitivity.

    Yes, they do. I asked & they just responded they DO have gluten free foods 👍🏼

    stopped in this morning for brunch since we're in the area visiting. There was about a 10 to 15…read moreminute wait and then we were sat at a little table near the Christmas trees. Our waitress is very kind went over the specials and offered to get us some drinks which we all got coffee. My girlfriend ordered the Benedict and that it was really good. I split the breakfast tacos in the Monte Cristo with my other friend. The portion sizes were really large. Everything is really good and had nice flavor. Highly recommend for breakfast!!

    What a great brunch find in the cute town of Bay Harbor! Little bit of a wait, but worth it. Tip -…read moremake reservations in advance. There is indoor and covered patio seating too. My bestie and I sat inside. Our wait without reservations wasn't too bad. 20 mins! We came on a Monday so maybe not as busy, but we were with the vacation crowd so waiting wasn't an issue. I ordered the chocolate cherry cold brew with cherry foam (special) to start my morning. My bestie ordered fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and a chai. Good selection of fresh juices - orange, grapefruit, and lemonade. Loved my cold brew! Or breakfast I ordered the wild truffle mushroom omelette. No substitutions allowed so if you want to add avocado make sure you say it's a side. I thought of it as an addition versus substitution. My bestie ordered the sausage apple omelette with sausage, honey crisp apples, and smoked Gouda cheese. Delicious! Omelettes come with hash browns or fresh greens and toast. We went with hash browns and an English muffin with fresh strawberry jam. Great vibe. Definitely coming back for breakfast when I'm in the area.

    After a long day near the lake we were ready to relax so decided to try this new to us spot for a…read moretake away pizza. We ordered after arriving and the server was pleasant and helpful. The inside wasn't busy but we had arrived at an off time (after lunch but not yet dinner). They have a pizza special for take-away so we were in luck! It is a typical bar/pub atmosphere but seemed really pleasant and if you did fine in they had some patio seats along the River which would be nice to try. We waited a short time and our pizza came out rather quickly. They are wood oven done so we were excited to try it! It didn't disappoint and we were delighted with the chew and texture! It was just right for two people and had plenty of toppings. We had asked for one to be left off, but I just picked it off and gave it to my husband (not s fan of ham). Overall though it was a good pizza and loved the chew of the crust. We would for sure go back and try it again. The bartender as well was friendly and so next time might sit for drinks with our pizza!

    Happy St. Patrick's Day !…read more Went out for an early lunch today - hubby had their corned beef sandwich, he said it was fantastic, meat was very tender and it was really stacked on there. Large sandwich - he brought 1/2 home it was so big, unusual for him to bring food home, but they give you a lot, came with fries and he said they were also great. I had a pineapple/red onion Pizza - delicious as always, Carl makes a super pizza - nice, mild homemade sauce on the pizza, big chunks of pineapple and red onions are sweet, not strong. Cooked to perfection, their pizzas are 14" (I think, might be 12", I've forgotten as I don't look at menu when I want pizza, just order my usual) I usually eat 3 pieces and bring home 3, today I ate 4 pieces, it was just so good, probably could have eaten the rest, but saved it for a snack tonight. If you want a non-alcoholic drink, they have the BEST Rootbeer around! Our server (I'm sorry I've forgotten your name), your green tutu is adorable. Service was awesome as usual update from previous review regarding music, it was not as loud as it was back in 2024 - mix of Irish music today
