It is a pretty tight fit inside but we were able to squeeze through with two high chairs. The kids did great. The waitress came shortly after to take drink orders. She was very sweet. I ordered the pretzel with queso. It was very big and it was delicious. I loved it. It made me soo full. I wanted dessert but I couldnt get any because I was so full. My husband ordered a Jalapeno burger. He said it was super good. The only sad thing is they dont have fries here, they only have chips. The kids loved the chips! The food was good and the price was good too. Overall, we enjoyed it!

We had a party of 8 and came for the whitefish. At 7:15 they were already out …read more.. We were so disappointed in the food and the service. We ordered drinks and many entrees. The food took approximately 35 minutes to arrive at the table, fries were ice cold, fish was all breading and the French onion soup was ALL bread and cheese, 1/8 cup of soup Our waitress brought our food and never returned for drink refills or to ask about the food. Total we spent approximately $300 and honestly would have been more satisfied with the taco place across the street. Again very disappointed !!! The only thing worth eating was the biscuit .

For dinner, I had the Greek chicken souvlaki, while my husband ordered the butter masala scallops. We kept sharing bites because both dishes were too good not to! Even the cocktails were perfectly made. Our server was genuinely warm and friendly and made the whole evening even more enjoyable. This is one of those restaurants you leave already thinking about what you'll order next time. Honestly, I'd go back tonight--or tomorrow--without hesitation. So, so good!

To start, the atmosphere is beautiful, with the restaurant right on the harbor of Little Traverse Bay. The ambiance inside was welcoming, with the bar being connected to the outside seating. The service was also amazing, helping out with food and drink recs as well as constantly checking in. The food and drink were the stars of the show. We had the ahi tuna tacos, sticky ribs, crispy shrimp bao buns, and buffalo chicken lollipops. There were so many mouth-watering shareable options that we had to just get a bunch of those. Loved every bite! The drinks were also phenomenal. I tried the moon rabbit, which ended up being one of my favorite drinks I've ever had. Gin, ginger, lime, cucumber, and sesame oil - unbelievably refreshing combination, give it a try. Overall this place was phenomenal and it will now be a must have on future trips up north!

Oh how I wish this place would have been better. It's a…read morecute place and our server did a great job overall. Those are the highlights. My friend ordered the kabob dinner and said it was good...but over $20 for some veggies is crazy. My gyro and truffle fries....honestly I should have just sent them back. This is one of the most disappointing meals I've had recently. They put a tomato paste on it that I almost requested without, but trusted it would be interesting. It literally tasted like cheap canned tomato paste. Gross and certainly doesn't blend well on a gyro. The lamb meat itself had a decent taste, but the way it is served makes it difficult to eat in a pita. Gyros are typically chopped or shaved lamb which makes it easier to eat and helps ensure you're getting more lamb per bite. Served in these strips, it was just falling apart and not blending with the feta. The fries...terrible. Just terrible. $6 to sub truffle fries which seems like too much but I hadn't had them in a long time so had to go for it. Listed in subs it simply says truffle fries, so I didn't know they were going to be covered in liquid cheese. They ARE listed in appetizers with the full description but I didn't look there until after bc I didn't order an appetizer. The cheese was awful, completely overwhelmed the TINY bit of truffle taste, and SO salty! Take a look at the picture and decide for yourself if the gyro and fries is worth $23. I eat a lot of gyros, and this being the most expensive one I've had is the worst. Heads up that they charge a service fee. Doesn't bother me as I always tip at least 20% but no one pointed that out and I'm not really sure what it's for. Does that go into the servers pocket or? Won't be going back to find out.

It was warm, delicious, very tasty , a bit spicy and served on a really good soft bun with crispy edges. Perfectly cooked the sandwiches are served with orange slices , which is a nice break from chips or fries ! They have numerous coffe and matcha drinks hotv& cold. I tried the cold match blackberry lemonade and it was good and my hubby had the matcha raspberry latte and he really liked his. You know it's a great place when you unexpectedly run into the bride eating there the morning after her wedding!!! The only thing keeping me from giving this restaurant 5 stars ( because the food quality IS there !) is the bathroom situation. There's a very tiny sing men's and women's with a sink to wash hands inbetween. I didn't mind the " closet bathroom stall - I minded the dirty floor and the fact that when I went to wash my hands in the shared sink outside the stall in between the bathrooms , barely any soap dispenses! I went under 4 x just to get enough soap to get the buffalo sauce off of my hands. This is concerning because it makes you wonder if the cooks are bothering to try to get any soap on their hands ?! . Roast and Toast : *Clean the bathroom floors and get a new soap dispenser and I bet you'll get the stars and reviews your food deserves !

Because the place was populated (but not crowded) and my order was simple (a matcha and cranberry chicken salad) Filling my order was a lay-up. The drink came in a timely fashion but my sandwich was nowhere to be found. Add to that I was sitting in the very visible window seat, by myself...a fact made more obvious by the fact that no one was near me and I'm a black dude in a very white restaurant (basically making me even more obvious). Now to be clear: I DO NOT think this was racially motivated, I DO think , however, it was due to inattentive staff. Personally I'm also not a fan of having to go get my food when they call my name, ESPECIALLY if the drink and the food come out at different times. Too much up and down for me. Cute place but I was disappointed...which bums me out because I really WANTED to like this place. This will probably be my only time here (as I am just passing through) and, sadly, this was the impression I was left with.

There is ample parking which is complimentary, which is a plus! Love the attention to detail with the happy birthday menu. We started off with cocktails and the mussels. The mussels were so good! Never had mussels with noodles, but the combo was delicious. The crispy shallots plus the warm hot bread. Yum! For dinner, we ordered the halibut, snapper, and the pork. Everything was so good. I ordered the halibut which came with risotto. So light and flaky. My husband loved the pork tomahawk. The snapper was a hit too. We enjoyed a bottle of Riesling with our dinner. Love that it was a local Michigan wine! For dessert, we ordered the Dubai cheesecake. It was a little sweet for our liking, but the dessert options were so great. Lots to select from! Such a great place to celebrate and enjoy a great dinner.

I took my out of town guests to Walloon Lake Inn Expecting…read morea fabulous meal. Each of our meals was disappointing, to say the very least. I ordered a salad with an added filet. What I got was a VERY small salad with a piece of flat, dry, tough, tasteless piece of meat more like a piece of sirloin than a filet. There is no way what was presented was a filet. I know filets and this was not a filet. Both the salad and the filet were plopped on a plate. No presentation either. My friend got halibut. She said it was very dry. She mentioned it to the waiter who said halibut is a dry fish. My friend responded that she knew halibut and it normally was not this dry and tasteless and the waiter simply walked away. My other friend got lobster and it came slathered in hollandaise sauce. No drawn butter. Her meal also came with two small dollops of what were supposed to be crab cakes. All of us thought our meals were terrible. We were there two years ago and our meals were fantastic. The quality has gone way down. We will not return.

Exceptional Evening at Chandler's…read more My wife and I had a wonderful evening at Chandler's in Petoskey. We shared an entrée and enjoyed a wonderful glass of Italian wine, and everything was really exceptional. We also ordered sushi, which unfortunately took quite a while to come out. It actually arrived after we had finished our entrée! To Chandler's credit, they handled it beautifully and took the sushi off our bill. That kind of gesture says a lot about a restaurant's commitment to its guests. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was terrific, and our server was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and professional without being intrusive. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and we would absolutely return. Chandler's is definitely one of the places we would recommend to anyone visiting Petoskey.
