    View from my window at sunset!

    This place is amazing! The decor is comfortable. The view is absolutely beautiful--overlooking Lake Michigan. But the food was outstanding! They provide a delightful bread board before dinner. The desserts are to die for! And Cathy, our waitress has been there for 37 years! It is definitely a family business. it's relaxed and delightful! Can't say enough wonderful things about it

    I tried the stuffed mushrooms, ribs, salad with pepper dressing, potatoes, and minestrone soup. I did not like the bbq sauce but everything else was good.

    Great chicken tenders!!

    Why can't I give 10 stars?? Charlie, your team is outstanding!! The level of service, smiles, warm greetings and awesome/delicious food is amazing! I will continue to come back each and every Notre Dame football season as long as I can! Grand Mere is an American classic!!! Best lake perch (besides the lake perch my mother makes)! Thank you for multiple outstanding dinners this year and I look forward to seeing you all again next ND football season! A special shout out to Sally! Sally you are the best!!!

    Excellent food and service. Their duckling is excellent. I love the feel of a vintage supper club.

    We arrived about 10 minutes early for our reservation and were seated immediately…read more Our service was GREAT as were our meals and overall experience!!! They were doing a NOLA-themed menu, so we started out with a Sazerac which was DELICIOUS. We ended our meal with Spanish coffee, equally delicious even though our mixer said she'd never made one before. In-between, we enjoyed tuna tartare, oyster bisque, Cajun walleye with hush puppies, a smoky Cajun gumbo, beignets with chocolate sauce and an Argentine malbec. All EXCELLENT!!! If you haven't been to the Historian, you're missing out. Great food, friendly service, nice vibe and decent prices.

    We arrived and found a lively atmosphere, nice bar with comfy bar stools and friendly bar staff…read more There was definitely a "Cheers" vibe, and it was obvious many of the patrons knew each other and dined there frequently. It was refreshing to peruse an interesting small plates menu which we would definitely go back to try on a future visit. There is also a traditional menu as well as a special menu on weekends prepared by a guest chef featuring international cuisine. We tried the "Thai Night" menu and especially enjoyed the vegetarian potstickers in a delicious Thai sauce and the noodle salad with shrimp. The flavors were layered, with a delicate creamy texture and just the right amount of spice. There is a parking lot on site and reservations are a must on weekends, although an early arrival might get you a nice spot at the bar!

    It seems like a nice place but our experience, particularly food, wasn't great. Service was good,…read moreour waiter was patient and friendly as we came as a party of 6 plus kids. What left me puzzled is food. What I loved were fries, round shaped which I thought was rather unusual and just the right amount of salt, crispiness, softness inside. That's about it though. As a main dish I picked prosciutto focaccia and while on paper it looked great, it came out very dry, almost stale, I didn't enjoy it at all. While fries were great, the portion of it was tiny. Like, 10 or 11 fries in a small plate. My partner got a chicken sandwich and it was good. Now, the kids got kids burger which comes with fries too and I swear the kids plate had double the fries compared to my side. We also got kids pasta and it was the same size as someone's pasta from our party. I mean, great value for kids menu items, sure, but I'm just not sure why adult dishes are so slim compared to kids. When they brought the check we noticed two items in it that we didn't order, which we realized after paying for it and looking at the receipt (they use portable terminals and have an option to text you the receipt). Our server corrected the mistake and refunded the difference for the two items we didn't order promptly after we pointed it out but this still left a bad aftertaste for us; we don't always look at receipts and this one would've gone unnoticed for sure, we only looked because total seems a bit too high. I also noticed that the soup upcharge on the menu is $2, but on the check it was $3. Pointed it out to the server too but she didn't do anything about it. It's just a dollar so we didn't press for it, and again, only noticed it because we started looking at the receipt due to unusually high total. Anyway, it was nice to visit, but we won't be back.

    Our first time here and we were impressed. The Rueben egg roll is my new favorite way to eat a…read moreRueben. I could have eaten 20. I had a Wagyu burger and my wife had a Caesar salad. Both were excellent. I loved the atmosphere and our waitress was outstanding. We definitely will be back.
