    Aperol Spritz
    Shelby B.

    My boyfriend and I ordered pepperoni pizza, breadsticks, bbq wings, aperol spritz, and various beers. These are our ratings: Item: ME: BF: AVERAGE: Pizza 4/5 3.5/5 3.75/5 Breads... 4/5 2.5/5 3.25/5 Wings 2.5/5 3.5/5 3/5 Beers N/A 4/5 N/A Aperol 1/5 2/5 1.5/5 Overall: 3/5 3/5 3/5 We didn't dislike it, it was just kinda mid. The prices are average, the food is good but not great, and the ambiance is trying too hard to be fancy and does not match the area or the food served. Things range from BBQ chicken wings to Escargot. Just kinda eclectic. We probably won't go out of our way to come back, but if it were suggested I wouldn't say "ew no." The waitstaff were very friendly!

    I have a problem with remembering the day of the week. Another Friday in Northern Michigan where I forgot what day it was and decided I needed some type of fish entree. I didn't want to cook because first I would have had to gone to the store to buy fish. Not an easy thing to do in Rural Michigan. So I chose Cut River Grille for it's closeness and usually good tasting food. I'm so glad Mom forced me to do takeout. When I got to the restaurant to pickup the food it was a madhouse--which is every Northern Michigan restaurant's dream. People with reservations were even having to wait til servers were available. But patrons didn't seem to care. Just more reason to grab a drink from the bar and go listen to the live music on deck. Hey now that I say that I realize the music was at a decibel of enjoyment. I got there probably earlier than I should've. Takeout on Friday is probably not the norm. The manager hunted down my meal which was still cooking. He asked me who took my order but darn if I knew. I could barely hear her on the phone. The connection was lousy--again whatcha gonna do it's Northern Michigan. I ordered pan-seared Walleye and my dinner mate (aka Mom) had Shrimp Pappardelle...glad I can spell that cause I can't for the life of me say it. The Shrimp meal looked amazing. Homemade pasta with six very very large shrimp. Maybe could have had a little more pink sauce. The portion was huge. I kept asking Mom if she was eating. Every time I looked over the amount didn't seem to change. When Mom claimed she was full I had to assume she had been eating--or did she pull the wool over my eyes. Nah! It was a big portion. The Walleye was fresh tasting no fishy taste or smell. The rice was called Spanish rice but I would call it a flavored rice with onions, red peppers, and broccoli. I have to admit though that when I opened the container, it had an odd smell. I couldn't place it and chocked it up to my smeller being off due to allergies from pollen, wildfire smoke, and weather related sinus problems oh and maybe residual from Covid. What else could it be since I ate all of my meal. The Walleye was a nice size fillet with some bone thrown in. Hey it's Walleye. Cut River Grille has yet to disappoint. The higher than average Local prices don't seem to deter people from coming. Cut River serves unique food compared to other local places and as long as quality continues, people will keep coming. My fellow Yelp Elite team are going to be disappointed in me again. I failed to take pictures of my food. DUH! So instead I'm posting pics of my takeout dining view here in Northern Michigan.

    Mgt doesn't respond to customer concerns. Charges for extra pita bread, even after removing from the table on accident. Don't recommend.

    First visit to CRG. Food was great. Server was friendly and informative. Be nice if they paved the parking lot but whatever.

    Decided to come back for a special dinner last week with my longtime best friend since childhood…read morecelebrating our combined 70th Birthdays. As mentioned in my first review last year, the decor is beautiful. No fighting to get the usually more comfortable booth seats, their freestanding chairs are well padded and equally comfortable! We both ordered the featured special that evening, Halibut Picatta with linguini pasta topped with shitake mushrooms. We split a salad, each plate was a generous serving (even as a split). The salad I ordered before and it was just delicious with pine nuts and balsamic vinaigrette. It certainly did not disappoint! The Halibut Picatta was out of this world, with just the right amount of lemon inspired sauce with capers. The linguine was delicious, it was a little sticky, but I overlooked it given the whole balance and deliciousness of the meal. Our server Savannah was excellent. My friend and I had a little issue with the wine, it needed to be returned. She was very gracious, brought out a small sampler of a different selection, a Pino Grigio before filling our glasses. We brought a special small Birthday cake for our celebration. They had the cake dressed and candles burning away delivered to our table. Thank you Savannah for making our celebration and our evening joyful and just perfect! The food and experience was even better than the last time I was here with my husband in October. We most certainly will be coming back, probably several times this summer!
