Super cozy inside, I feel like I'm at home. The store has everything anyone needs; fresh meat & cheeses, olives, spices, pizza flour, dough, cookies, wine, desserts, take and bake pizzas, lasagna, pot pies, and so much more. We ordered one of the many delicious sandwiches on the menu. I chose the Chimp Boy Gravel Pants. Roasted turkey, sundried tomatoes, pesto, blue cheese, provolone, Italian dressing, stuffed in a ciabatta sub- AMAZING. That will be forever in my heart. Made with love. I wish I could've wrapped that shop up, put it in my pocket and brought it back to my hometown. I will definitely stop there each and every time I visit TC!

She took the…read moretime to plan an amazing original menu that was based on our family preferences, yet unique and fresh with local, seasonal foods and amazing flavors. She arrives totally prepared but also relaxed, with attention to detail and our time frame. Having her in my kitchen, she is personable and engaging and navigates with ease. From the wonderful aromas of asparagus puff pastry appetizers, to the final decadent cheesecake, we watched her seamlessly execute a multi-course memorable meal. Presentation was absolutely beautiful! We left for a show while Betsey continued doing her magic. We returned to the most pristine kitchen, like she didn't just make a 5-star dinner for our group of 10. If you are lucky enough to have Betsey cater a meal or event for you, then you are truly fortunate!

Ahead of time she sent options, and honestly I would have eaten ANY of them, they all sounded amazing. While there she was personable and talkative - super sweet and easy going. First course: Whipped brie crostini, honey, salsa matcha, almonds, lemon zest and flakey salt. These were heaven! Literally, I couldn't put enough in my mouth. The creamy whipped brie with the subtle spice of the salsa matcha, perfection. She had made a ton of these so we actually had leftovers for the next day! Second course: Arugula, pickled beets, citrus supremes, candied pecans, goat cheese, citrus balsamic dressing. This salad was so good! I am a huge fan of literally everything in this salad so I was so excited to see this on her menu! All the flavors so complimentary. Third course: Feta and herb panko crusted salmon, garlic lemon butter beans and artichokes, smoked pomodoro, pistachio gremolata (i had to google gremolata!) I am a HUGE fan of salmon and hers was cooked so well! Not overdone and or dry. The bean and artichokes were so decadent - I could have eaten a whole bowl of them. I literally saved my leftovers, because I couldn't eat the whole portion, and ate it for breakfast (I am dead serious!). Four course: Crème brulee, brown butter granola, macerated strawberries - the homemade granola was literally the best granola I have ever had! She made a ton so she left a large bag of it for us to munch on and it was eaten very quickly the next day! I am a creme brulee girl and this was so rich and creamy - one of the best I have ever had! Not only did she do a phenomenal job on all the food, she was super sweet and fun to talk to, AND she cleaned up literally THE whole kitchen! It was spotless. I would 100% recommend her for any small catering job and I would encourage you to check out her personal chef / meal prep, as well! I do not think you would be disappointed!

I come from a family where food has been a large part of our lives. My father is a now private chef, and graduated top of his class at the CIA (Culinary Institute of America), with experience working for decades in some of the most elite restaurants including some in Napa Valley. I've also been cooking with him for my whole life and I know good food when I see it. The balance, simplicity but also unique take on a wet breakfast burrito was refreshing. It set itself aside from the norm and I think that's what made it so good. I can't wait to go back to Archie's and try some more items!

Nice crisp to them. Got a side of pancakes. So good! Def get a side to share. I got the blood orange matcha. More blood orange than matcha. I liked at my table there was a hook behind my seat so I could hang my purse.

My fiancé (now husband) and I had completely fallen in love with a cocktail called a bleeding heart served at a restaurant near our apartment in Washington, DC and desperately wanted to recreate it at our wedding. The only problem was we were getting married in Glenn Arbor. Turns out this was not a problem at all for the Tonic and Lime team. My fiancé for the recipe from the restaurant, sent it to Amber, and then a month before our wedding Amber did a cocktail tasting for us to make sure the drink was perfect and it was delicious! This is just one small example of how they helped us have a truly memorable wedding day and we are so glad we hired them! All our DC friends loved the nod to DC and our family from midwest loved the funky cocktail that we used instead of the champaign toast. We can't recommend Amber and the Tonic and Lime team enough!

When my sister (her mom) hired Chef George and His Team at Abundance Catering, she said they were "The Best Caterers in Leelanau County." I was still doubtful. But that's because I'm a doubtful kind of guy. My doubts were erased on the day of the wedding. Abundance was amazing: professional, calm, clean, clear. The food was absolutely incredible. When we asked for applause for the chef, the audience shouted "YUM!" (That seriously happened.) The Pineapple Bacon Appetizer is so good I want to have sex with it - or in it - or both. The food was pure and specific - so healthy. The vegetarian option was REALLY good and I am not a big fan of veggie options, being a meat kind of guy. And yeah - the barbecue was incredible. If you go on The Knot, you will find lots of grand reviews. I will review there, too. Most say the following: "Best wedding food I've ever had." This sounds like hyperbole - it's not. It's seriously the best wedding food I've ever had. These are really good people - professionals that take pride in what they do. I would hire them in an instant - and plan to for my upcoming 60th birthday celebration. Huge kudos. Hire them immediately.
