    Food was good and service was great. We came on a Sunday evening and alot of restaurants were closed but it was great they were open because we were hungry. It doesn't look like a new or hip place but the character is welcoming and the food is a plus. The waiter was thoughtful and he worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed.

    Well. . .during her work thing, I ventured out to get some lunch and found that the place I wanted to go had an hour wait. So I said to myself. . ."self. . .you're not waiting an hour." So back to the hotel I went and this place was right in the Park Place Hotel and there was a turkey sub on the board at the entrance that sounded pretty good. So. . .in I went. It was just me and when I went in the guy at the front looked puzzled as to why I might be walking in there. I actually had to tell him that I was there for lunch and it was just me. He seemed baffled. He showed me to a booth amongst the deserted restaurant and I sat down and looked over the menu. Some things looked interesting but I was after that Turkey Sub. My server came over and I decided to get a little something with my sammich so I got the Potato Nachos. When I told her I wanted to try the sub on the board when I walked in she had no idea what I was talking about and said she had to go look to see what this sub I spoke of was all about. She came back and quoted the board to me and I gave her my order. The food was good. The Potato Nachos were very good. I'm not a fan of chipotle anything but the chipotle sour cream was tolerable. Everything else was very good. The sub I was so looking forward to was just ok. I hate to say it, but I think the turkey bacon advertised was microwaved, if it wasn't, it was just bad, very disappointing. . .maybe it's because this is the hotel bar and it was lunchtime but I wish Mama Lu's wasn't as busy.

    Absolutely ridiculous prices, I understand prices have went up everywhere but we aren't in New York. A sandwich and soda shouldn't cost 25$!

    I think Minerva is Greek for slow service. 40 people at the bar and one bartender. If you want a drink... bring one with you.

    This is one of the times when you need more than five stars. Cook's House is simply outstanding…read more Every aspect of the experience was wonderful. The restaurant is a house in downtown Traverse City. They only have space for 22 seats, and it was never full during our visit. It is intimate and welcoming. I made a reservation three months ahead, and obtained a seating for 8pm. We were welcomed warmly, and immediately seated. A complimentary mushroom broth "tea" was brought out. My friend who does not like mushrooms even enjoyed it. The service was perfect. Our server understood how to facilitate tasting courses, and the one very small misstep (under down steak for the member of our party that is pregnant, so it was not a being picky situation) was immediately handled without needing to be asked. The wine sommelier did a beautiful pairing. She offered the right level of presentation. Our group of four did the tasting menu. As they are farm to table, and the menu is constantly changing, it is not beneficial to discuss specific menu items. I do want to say the celery soup was representative of the experience, something I would not think to try or sounded amazing but was. My non dessert eating friend loved her dessert, she actually ate the entire cake. Interesting, creative, but not pretentious. A meal to be remembered.

    It was my 1st time here but the service was absolutely amazing! Food was a little out of my comfort…read morezone but I did it anyways and I was surprisingly left speechless! Definitely recommend

Called the server back, she said no that's the drink we just ran out of .. XYZ. So basically it was wine with ice. Soups were average nothing to write home about. I ordered the market steak, if was grainy fat with zero flavor in the meat parts. Very disappointing. Definitely would not recommends.

When you come in, you are immediately and pleasantly assaulted by their dessert display case so feast your eyes and meanwhile, plan to save some room in your belly because trust me, you'll want some of their dessert. As a result, I ordered a salad, the up north cobb which was good and moderately filling and my husband had the special which was a chicken salad sandwich served with chips. We both had a nice lighter lunch followed by some delicious desserts. Generally, I order dessert and my husband eats what I cannot but this time, he orders his own. I had the cherry crumble and he had the sticky toffee pudding. Their dessert definitely satisfies the sweet tooth craving. So good and so much food! Service was fine. We ended up with the bartender as our waitress who had to do both roles during a busy time. She was a bit flustered but was generally pleasant whenever she came to the table to get our order and check on us. I only wish we were able to come here for dinner but lunch definitely did not disappoint and the dessert was epic!
