    Risotto Bites
    Brittney A.

    Y U M. Fantastic meal, really neat menu - unique offerings that you don't see everyday and high quality food. Our server was so sweet, I wish I could remember her name but she was the epitome of hospitality! We split the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp and Risotto Bites. MMM. Great sauces that paired with each. I absolutely loved my Short Rib Stroganoff - delicious red wine cream sauce, mushrooms, and plenty of Short Rib chunks. It was hard to decide what to order with all of the interesting offerings. Will be back!

    The atmosphere here is upscale, but without pretensions. It's got a positive vibe to it and makes you feel welcome. I ordered the Smoked Gouda Chicken Pasta ($26). This is pan seared chicken, bacon, asparagus, portobello mushrooms, and a smoked Gouda cream. I didn't like the mushrooms, however once I moved the mushroom strips aside the meal was splendid. I highly enjoyed it. I didn't at first think the portion size was very big, but I was satisfied afterwards. The person I was with got the same thing and highly enjoyed the meal including the mushrooms. The service was very friendly and helpful. Didn't understand the wine menu, but went to ask in a cheerful manner. Overall a 4 and a half star review. I have no real complaints or issues so I'll round up to a full 5 stars. Would I return? If I was in the area, I would absolutely come back.

    French onion soup 8.5/10

    Driving home from traverse city this was one of the better rated restaurants on our way. But I gotta say, skip it and go elsewhere. Olive Garden would of been better or any other chain restaurant. We were a larger group and got seated right away...place was pretty empty. Food was not good at all!!!! For the prices they got, absolutely not! I got the cod, it was soggy, and way over cooked. Coleslaw was old, as the cabbage has already changed its original color. The fish itself was chewy and very tough. The fries that came with it were okay...but the menu said they were supposed to be truffle fries...nope they were just regular fries no truffle flavored to be detected whatsoever. The chicken pasta was okay but very very heavy sauce, and add in the bacon it was just too heavy. Calamari were okay as well and so was the French onion soup. Probably the only things that id recommend if you decide to go here. The crispy chicken sandwich was crazy!!! Sauces dripping all over the plate the buns were literally breaking apart because they got so soggy from the sauces. The bbq and honey combo were wayyyy too much, too sweet, too much sauce and overall just didn't work together at all. Maybe get the sauces in the side but wow way over dressed with sauces. The ribs were possibly the driest ribs to exist! I'm sorry just no! Don't go here, find something better. I'll never return that's for sure.

    Steak salad
    Amanda F.

    Server Hannah was pure joy and very attentive ! Food and drinks are always dependable. Steak salad and house fries were the star of this meal! Burgers not pictured.

    Bread with finger indents showing how greasy it was. I could have squeezed this bread and it would have dripped.

    The food was good but the bread was so butter soaked that it was soggy on my 1/2 sandwich. I asked if I could have a different bottom of bread and they said it would be $3 more. I declined and left my soggy bread there. It really was gross. service was great until then. ambiance was fine. Left disappointed and surprised at the charge for a 1/4 piece of bread.

    We went here for Traverse City Restaurant Week and saw McGee's 72 menu that captured us instantly! By far my favorite dish was the Ahi Tuna. The soup was OK. I'm not a dessert person but did enjoy both on the menu. Probably wouldn't get it again.

    Lemon blueberry mocktail

    Super friendly service and great food. I had the spinach salad and a delicious mocktail. My husband had the chicken tacos and a local draft lager. We shared the bruschetta. All three dishes were flat out fabulous. The ambiance is casual and relaxed.

    Food and service fine, but sound level/acoustics made for unpleasant experience. Based on 2 visits. Would not go back.

    Just an amazing place! We went here for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. No "cons"…read morewhatsoever. The pros, on the other hand? 1. Staff. Our servers Meg and Emma were incredible 2. Ambiance. Overlooking the golf course and the bay, the view at sunset was majestic. Combined with how elegant the interior setting was, total A+. 3. Drinks. Good cocktails and a fantastic Gin and Tonic ( not pictured here-it was so good I just bypassed the pics asap lol). 4. Caesar Salad: very crisp and fresh romaine with fantastic anchovies and these cheese crisps that were so very tasty. 5. Duck. Perfect taste, texture, with a tomato jus and a purée of parsnip underneath that was fantastic. 6. Sweet potato beignets. Oh...my...God! This is an appetizer but could/should be a dessert. So sweet and served with bacon jam. Amazing! 7. Pear and salted caramel layer cake. Wow! My wife and I highly enjoyed this. It's a pear compote with a spiced cake in the middle. Well worth it and definitely a place we will come back to when we are back in Traverse City. Very highly recommended.

    The chicken was ok. The pork ribeye was seriously disgusting. My husband and I hated it. I'm mad at…read moremyself for coming here and wasting hard earned money. :( overpriced and I won't ever come again. I have celiac disease and feel glutened as well. The server seemed very annoyed with us (we asked questions about gluten as I have celiac disease) and rude. I never ever tip badly but I did today. So disappointed with this experience.
