Several varieties of whitefish from the lake. We had the Waleye and loved it. Likely the best we have had ... period. The clam chowder was also up there with the "as good as it gets" grouping. You can sit in a room that's almost over the waterfall if you want... we did and loved the view. Service was excellent. Our waitress impressed us enough to prompt us to leave her a Benjamin.

While the tented area is in the parking lot, it offers nice views of the Leland river and passerby on the main Leland thoroughfare. My pizza (carry out), and then our pizza (eat "in") were both very good. Their pizzas have that yummy buttery crust! MmmmMmmmmm! Ditto the side garden salad, crisp and yum. They've also got a fairly comprehensive selection of craft beers (impressive in light of having to manage outdoor cooler space). Prices are reasonable and service can also be counted on. Both Erin and Forrest will take good care.

We enjoyed our meal at Riverside Inn, and enjoyed our view of Lake Leelanau. The whitefish with…read morerisotto and cherry-maple glaze was nicely done, with a crisp skin and a sauce that added just the right amount of sweetness. The steak was flavorful and cooked well, paired with blistered shishito peppers that gave a subtle smoky heat.

Table of 6 on a Sunday at 6pm, a super nice day out on the patio overlooking the golf course…read more Whitefish chowder - very watery. More of a soup than a chowder. Potatoes were...al dente. Choices were made in the kitchen. I would recommend they make different ones in the future. Who knows, tho, maybe watery chowder is your thing and you prefer your potatoes just barely to the right of crunchy. Beet salad - the tiny beet cubes are hard to fork...but there are a generous amount of them! Tons of goat cheese. I added candied pecan pieces and it was a great compliment. A perfectly serviceable salad. Oddly enough, could have used more lettuce. Whitefish sandwich with fries - we love salt, but there's an upper limit and these fries hit it. For once in life...could have used less salt. The sandwich itself was only so so. Could have used more fish and less sauce. Nothing in this had very much flavor, unfortunately. Not great, for the price. The view makes this place, for sure. Very nice outdoors under the veranda on a sunny summer day. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable. They got very busy and we had to flag them down for the bill after a while, but they were otherwise great!

Consistently so delicious and creative. I also like that they let us share (and gave two plates for us both). It was busy and they gave us a seat on the back porch after 20 min or so without previous reservations. We couldn't reach them by phone; so just went in person. Their soups are my favorite thing. I'd bathe in it. This time was celery root and 5 years ago was parsnip. They have the same base of garlic, onion, cream puréed and just know how to do it. Excellent service each time too! My husband loved the SALAD (which he had never said in his life before) as well as the wagyu steak dish and Butterscotch mousse w/ short bread cookie that was best we have ever had (the chefs step dads recipe). After that they gave an extra little snacky of peanut brittle and pop rock orange like candy. The kimchi fritters were my other favorite dish of the night. Very happy cool place.

My partner and I dined at Wren for the first time at the recommendation of other patrons and…read moretruthfully, we were profoundly disappointed in our meal. We ordered a Brie and raclette plate with housemade crackers and a spicy ginger jam ($20), and two NY strip steaks with potatoes and greens ($48 per). We're not pretentious diners and we're no strangers to small portions with high price points, but our two narrow thumbs of steak served with three small half potatoes and a tablespoon or two of greens felt severely under-portioned for $48 per person. While we enjoyed the steak, the potatoes, greens, and appetizer were lackluster, which exacerbated our feeling robbed. Recapping our experience outside the restaurant, we found it curious that the portion sizes weren't indicated on the menu descriptions (it likely would've deterred us). But more interestingly, our waitress neither reviewed the menu and offered recommendations for how many plates to order, nor asked if we were enjoying our meal. For $150 (we tipped 20%), restaurant-goers have several other options available to them for mouth-watering, inventive foods with adequate portions. I can't recommend Wren.

The great - the atmosphere was great and the booth we sat on surprisingly comfy. Two had the chicken tender basket 4/5 for one and 5/5 for the other. The perch basket ranked high as well. One had the meatloaf 'sandwich' which arrived more like an open faced hot sandwich. It looked great and got a good review from the friend who had it. The chili was flat out outstanding! Flavorful and just the right amount of spice. Our great server had me taste it right away to make sure the temperature was hot enough. There was a nice variety of draft beer as well. The disappointing - the Bloody Mary. It was a visual masterpiece as you can tell by the attached pictures. The good - both sliders and the fries pickles. The rim was salted with what I describe as fresh everything bagel seasoning and it was really flavorful. The not so good- The onion rings needed more time in the frier as the breading was not very crispy. The bad - the Bloody Mary. Lots of vodka and spice but there wasn't much tomato flavor. I have to say I've never left a Bloody Mary unconsumed until today but I maybe had three sips and it was just bad. Hind site I perhaps should have asked for more tomato juice to add to the drink. As it was I enjoyed the company of friends, great atmosphere and my sliders. We would return again.
