    Owner is extremely rude. Waiting for place to close so the distillery can purchase their building and expand.

    Cut River Grille isn't just a restaurant to us it's our home away from home…read more The food and drinks are always amazing, but honestly, that's not what makes this place so unbelievably special. **It's the people.** The staff is what makes The Cut what it is. Kim is one of the kindest, most organized, fun people you'll ever meet, and the events she creates are incredible. She has a way of making everyone feel like family. I wish I could name every employee because I would literally be naming the entire staff. We have NEVER had a bad experience. When we ask our daughter where she wants to go for dinner, she always says, "The Cut." And honestly, it isn't even for the food. It's because she feels loved, welcomed, and at home there. Today, they made our daughter's 10th birthday **beyond special**so special that I actually cried. That kind of thoughtfulness means more than they probably realize. Our family all lives downstate near Detroit, and every time we're at The Cut, they make us feel like we belong here. Like we're family. Like we're loved. You can have great food anywhere. What makes The Cut different is the people who make you feel like you're coming home. They will have our business for as long as they have this incredible staff because **they are absolutely killing it.** Best spot around, hands down.

    We should have known it was not going to go well. We were warned by a nice gentleman as we…read moreapproached front door to proceed with caution and whatever we do, do not order the fish! We have been coming to this restaurant for years! It has been one of our favorite places to enjoy the food, patio, and live music in the summer while we are spending time at our happy place, our cottage at beautiful Higgins Lake.....until this summer. At the beginning of the summer we could do call ahead seating if our party was 8 or more. We did this many weekends until the weekend of August 7th! We called ahead for a group of 10 and were told they do not take call ahead seating requests!? Weird, we've been doing this all summer! For years actually. When we arrived, the manager got very defensive telling me she would fire any staff that allowed someone to call ahead! The following weekend, we had a party of 4! Didn't even try to call ahead, just went early! Requested a table on the patio! There were many open tables! They had to check availability?! Yes, we have a table. Full sun! It was a beautiful summer evening! But there were at least 3-4 tables in the shade open. We requested the host to move us to a table in the shade. We were denied. First we were told that someone had been there already, left and they were coming back(they were holding the table for them)! Then the waitress told us the tables were "reserved" for friends of the owners! I stated I thought they didn't take reservations. She corrected me, that they do in fact, take call ahead seating for groups of 6 or more! Wow, that's interesting because we were refused this last weekend with a group of 10 and the manager literally told me that she would fire someone if she found out they allowed this. I requested to speak to the manager again, so much discrepancy in the information we were receiving. We just wanted to move out of the blazing sun into a shaded table(there were 3-4 full or partial shaded tables available). It took her 15 min to approach our table. This woman was so condescending, so disrespectful! So aggressive! She didn't introduce herself, she just approached our table with pure inappropriate defense. Basically told us to get up, put our name on the list, and wait until the people that are not there yet decide to show up, and once they are done they will reseat us! Btw, I was a restaurant manager (not fast food)when I was in college 25 years ago. If I would have treated any customer the way she treated our table, I would have lost my job! She basically told us they had a party that had booked the restaurant earlier that day and were returning at some point that evening and they were holding tables for them if and when they return! Basically one paying customer is valued higher than another. And we were not the valued customer! Also, did I mention we are a diverse group of people. I'm white, my husband is black, and my SIL and niece were with us, both black. Our group of friends from the previous weekend are a very diverse group of white, Asian, and black. I would like to believe this did not play a part in how we were treated either weekend, but I do believe it absolutely did! It's sad! We will never return to Cut River Grill! We left, we went to Spikehorn and had excellent food and service! Btw, this was my birthday dinner with family.......

    A delightful repurposing of Coleman's old train depot, this winery specializes in, as the name…read moresuggests, currant wines. I am not always a fan of fruit wines, but I really enjoyed sampling the many variations, red and black currant, from dry to sweet dessert wine. If you are not a fan of non- grape wines, be advised that currants have a nuanced, sophisticated flavor -- not too sweet and a touch of " wild." My spouse and I came up eith all sorts of ideas for pairings and cooking with these wines. Our great find here was an oaked semisweet black currant wine -- delicious, with hints of vanilla and tobacco. Raspberry and pear wines are also for sale. The winery also offers cheese/ charcuterie snack plates and cheesecake -- the latter with your choice of currant or raspberry syrup. You can also purchase syrups, vinegar and teas made with winery fruit. The interior is spacious and comfortable, perfect for groups or parties. ( A lively group of women enjoying a girls' day out was there when we arrived.) This is a wonderful unique addition to our area, and well worth a trip to Coleman.
