    Great selection. A little pricey. We got confused on finding wine because it seemed to be displaced in a confusing way.

    Prost was such a fun Valentine's Day spot for us! It was our first time in, and overall we had a…read morereally great experience. Our server, Tanner, was genuinely kind and welcoming, which made a big difference. The table was set nicely when we arrived -- wine glass and water glass, silverware wrapped with cloth napkins on a side plate, and a candle lit off to the side. It felt thoughtful and perfect for a date night. We split the French Onion Soup to start, and it was delicious. Maybe a little pricey at $12, but it came with lots of cheese and bread (plus bread on the side), so it felt worth it as a starter. My boyfriend ordered a Long Island Iced Tea -- strong, but no complaints there -- and I got cranberry juice. Both drinks came out in the same glassware as the water, styled like cocktails, which I actually appreciated. No weird "different treatment" if you're not drinking alcohol, which is always a plus to me. We also did the Build-Your-Own Board, which was really fun, and Tanner was super helpful in guiding us through the choices. We picked Summer Sausage, Garlic & Herb Soft Cheese, Smoked Gouda, Fire Roasted Tomatoes, and Balsamic Onion Jam. The Fire Roasted Tomatoes were SO GOOD, and I usually don't even like tomatoes. They were soaking in olive oil (I think?), which had great flavor and paired perfectly with the bread and Garlic & Herb Cheese. I also really enjoyed the Balsamic Onion Jam, savory, slightly sweet, and a little goes a long way. Overall, everything tasted great. I was a little disappointed in the portion of Smoked Gouda compared to the soft cheese, especially considering some soft cheeses can retail around $30 per pound. If you're looking for the best value, you might consider a different cheese option. That said, extra bread was only $1, which felt like a great deal for the amount we received. We were honestly getting pretty full and almost couldn't finish it all. We were seated in the cellar area, which was okay, just a little small, and the music was pretty loud. Not ideal for a Valentine's date when you're trying to have a conversation. Random but important: the bathrooms were spectacular. Individual, spacious, very clean, nice sink setup, pump soap, automatic paper towel dispenser, and even a candle lit. Honestly, 10/10 bathroom experience. Overall, it's a really solid date night spot with great service and good food. Just a couple small tweaks (music volume and cheese portions!) would make it even better. We'd definitely come back.

    This is a wonderful spot in the heart of Frankenmuth. Plenty of parking to the rear nearby. There…read moreis a bar with room for eight. Plenty of tables in the dining area and the patio area, whip is nicely heated and enclosed for the winter months. Service was excellent and attentive. Very friendly. They do take reservations. We used OpenTable - no issues. The menu is varied. Very wide selection of charcuterie boards. Also entrees, sandwiches, and appetizers. The pretzels are a great value and were delicious. Overall highly recommended. We will be back.

    To say I was impressed is a under- statement. First, we love…read morecoming to Frankenmuth and enjoying the shopping and ambience, plus the people watching is fun too. Today, we originally started thinking we would head over to the Frankenmuth Brewery, it has been a while since we ate here.Though no fault of their own, we decided after putting our name in to opt out. We had a great parking spot too. We then left and repaired 100 yards down the road. Probst has always been a great go to but we still weren't sold on going back. Wife said let's try Tiffany's and maybe sit outside. It was a beautiful day, why not. Our hostess Lynn was multi tasking but was kind and took our name, guided me to the outside bar and a minimal wait. From there Jacob maid my wife a Tito's and Tonic, me a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat beer. We weren't half way done with our drinks when Lynn said she had a table for us. Menu was simple, prices fair, service was outstanding, view of the street and passer's by spectacular. We opted for the turkey club and chips and my wife the German Kielbasa with peppers and sauerkraut. We did also peek in, and use the bathrooms- clean. Overall, glad we tried this place and definitely will be back.

    This is a cool spot just north of Zhenders. Looks historic. Standing room only bar near entrance…read more Watch your knees on the unusual tables. Seems to be a popular spot for locals. It's a bit loud. It's fun though. The staff here are all super friendly. Our server, Stacey, was amazing. You don't even need to ask and she seems to know what you need. We had pizza and wings. Was very good. We will definitely be back.

Making sure extra ranch dressing was placed on table and prompt service in checking to see if anyone wanted refills. Food was decent amount and atmosphere was pleasant! Craft beer list was plentiful and the menu offered selections for those who did not want the special of the day. The price was 14.99 however being in a "tourist" town that is normally a good price for the area.

    To be fair, we thought we were sitting down at the restaurant at the Bavarian Inn when we…read moreapproached the host here, but apparently the patio area is "Michigan on Main" a separate restaurant with a separate menu. I was initially quite disappointed about this, as we had already chosen what we wanted to eat from the Bavarian Inn menu and were ready for some schnitzel and authentic fare. However, we were already seated with our dog when we realized all this. I did ask for a Bavarian Inn menu and was told that was not possible and also told that the Bavarian Inn is not dog friendly but we were already there and we were hungry so we decided to stay and to give them a try. The patio seating is nice, although it was a little cramped and I was closer to other people and their conversations than I would have liked but the weather was good and so was the people watching. I started off with a Cinnamon Toast Crunch from their drink menu but it was underwhelming. The menu is quite small with limited options so I ended up ordering a Pretzel charcuterie board and my husband had their sausage duo. The presentation was simple and could even be described as economical on their part. The food itself was fine for the most part. There were a few things didn't care for the flavor of like the little sausages, but fortunately for me my little pup was happy to take them off my hands. I really liked the jam served on the side of my meal and the mustard was too die for! (I actually ended up buying some to take home it was so good) My husband said his meal was fine. There were some bees or wasps that were bothering people and they did become quite annoying, especially towards the end of our meal. I kept shooing them gently, but they were persistent and when they started to bother the lady next to us, she became incredibly frightened. If you have a fear of bees or wasps, I definitely would not recommend dining here. All that being said, it was about $60 after tip for our meal and while it was perfectly adequate given the options available to us at the moment, I don't think it's anywhere that I would go out of my way to revisit.
