Synopsis: Amazing food and rock bottom prices with great customer service…read more The essay: I haven't heard much about Nepalese cuisine, until I read The Kid Who Climbed Everest by Bear Grylls. Dal Bhat sounded interesting. Dal means lentils, Bhat means rice. The lentils are cooked with spices, tomatoes, onions, and chillies, given then great flavor and texture. The rice helps to soak up the flavors, and makes the meal more filling. They eat this a half dozen times per day when climbing the mountains. I started cooking this at home, and it's a staple meal in my household. I started to visit Nepalese restaurants wherever I go, and have had some amazing meals. Nepalese cuisine to me is a better version of lowland Indian cuisine, more veggies that are less cooked down, and the flavors are more subtle. I also love food trucks, and have visited food trucks in almost every state, and a few countries, seeking the best one. Amazingly, this food truck is both, my favorite food truck, and my favorite Nepalese restaurant. It's one of my favorite restaurants in general. If I lived here, I would likely eat here every single day. I watched as the owner peeled and cut up all of the fresh veggies, made all the sauces from scratch, and prepared my meal. I was impressed with the quality of the ingredients, the large serving size, and the great flavors and texture. My jaw dropped when I saw that it was $7. I paid $10 for half the meal at another food truck the day before.

I would NOT recommend this caterer. He sent his staff to our reception over 2 hours late, with…read morenothing assembled nor the amount of food that was ordered. Two of our guests had to jump in to help the two kids set up. The food was not brought in on trays, therefore the sliders had to be set up on the table. The cheese for the charcuterie boards had to be cut up by our guests as well. They had to pretty much do everything when they should have been enjoying our day. There was nothing to put the silverware in, so that to had to be rounded up. They were supposed to stay and replenish food and clean up. Since there wasn't even enough food to feed all our guest including the Bride and Groom, there wasn't anything to replenish with. Our bar tenders were amazing and stepped up to clean up what was this caterers responsibility. What should have been a beautiful flawless day that was planned out for months, this catering company dropped the ball and caused stress, cost us more money to buy more food from local businesses and was an embarrassment to us. I don't know how ANYONE could do this to someone, especially on their special day. Apparently he took on another wedding that day and didn't bother to answer any calls, texts or emails when he was an apparent no show. I felt bad for the two kids he sent into a horrible situation. They acted like they had no idea what to do or how to handle a very uncomfortable situation. Steve Peltier, you should be ashamed of yourself! You haven't even had enough decency to contact us to apologize or explain yourself, which there really isn't an excuse! I hope this review keeps anyone looking for a caterer for their special day from making the same mistake we did in trusting in you. We should have known when you wouldn't return calls or emails for very long periods of time and would not let us have any tastings.

Dan and Melissa showed up at our venue early in the morning before our ceremony, scouted all the perfect places to take pictures, and literally walked us through four shoot locations and several hundred shots in the matter of an hour or so.

We loved staying at this lodge for a long weekend in Northern Michigan! The location of Falling…read moreWaters Lodge is so special. I'll never forget the beautiful views of the boats and shops of Fishtown. Van's Beach is right outside the door, and the town is a close drive to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and wine tasting on the Leelanau Peninsula. We opted for a balcony apartment room, which was a great decision. It is located off their upper deck and offers some additional privacy from the other visitors. The room had two beds - one downstairs and one in a cute loft area. It would be plenty of space for two couples to share, although noise could be heard throughout the room. The bathrooms and kitchenette are both recently updated and really added to our overall experience! We also loved that they are dog friendly, as it can be limiting to travel with pets at times and find convenient stays. While the price point to stay is similar to the prices of nicer hotels, we didn't experience quite the same level of service. As you can imagine with a smaller staff, they offer room cleaning only as requested and don't always have someone staffing the office. Overall, we didn't mind since we loved the location and the amazing views.

The office staff said they would deduct $75 from our bill and never did. I've called and left many messages and will be following up today with an email. We have a two night stay booked next fall and I would cancel it if it wasn't for us meeting friends there and staying at the same lodge. I don't mind that this is a more low-key, no staff present at night but when you wake up and you can't take a shower because the shower isn't draining and backing up with disgusting stuff and you call the overnight number and text it and no one even bothers to get back to you once the office is opened, it's a terrible way to start your day. Especially if you're celebrating some thing. Then, to be told they know that there are problems in there with the drainage and didn't care about disclosing it or even answering their phones and addressing the issue and just laughing it off is incredibly unprofessional and just unkind. Maybe they would like to start their day standing in disgusting water on their birthday. :/ I've read a lot of complaints about this lodge. This is such a beautiful location and a very special and unique lodge but you need new management. Desperately.

The operator didn't notice or care and didn't stop the rope tow, so I was stuck, struggling, with the rope literally burning a hole through my pants. I had to use my ski poles to get the rope off my skis, apparently, basic safety and attention are not priorities at Hickory Hills. If you're looking for a ski area where you can at least expect some minimal level of competence and safety, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Hickory Hills clearly doesn't care about its customers or their safety.

You were supposed to bring your towels to a towel drop off to get fresh ones. At this price point I don't think that's right, neither is taking out your trash. I was not informed of all the sports that where available like tennis. I never had the opportunity to go on a pontoon boat ride. Also we sat outside in a partially covered tent for all our meals, it would've been nice for them to change the seating arrangement up. It was cold and wet for a couple of days. I have some grace b/c of covid. The food was often put away after about 15 minutes to a half hour. Not enough time if anyone wanted seconds. On the up side everyone was very nice and helpful. I just think it's really overpriced. My family did enjoy themselves mostly. Maybe 3 stars is more fair.
