The wine was very good and the bottles were reasonable, by the glass not so much. We ordered a "jumbo" shrimp cocktail two filets and a ruffle fry. The jumbo shrimp weren't and they were just ok. Not steakhouse worthy. They should be U10 or 10/15. The extra horseradish was fresh but the presentation was lacking. Should have been served in ice with more than one tiny lemon. The steaks were not 8oz closer to 6oz. The bernaise was more like a hollandaise and the garlic aioli for the fry's didn't have a garlicky taste like it should. So overall we spent close to $300 for a just ok experience. I thought at least we would have an acknowledgement of our anniversary as it was in the open table notes. I doubt we will return and if we do it will be a really warm day where we can sit outside but we won't be ordering $75 filets because they simply aren't worth the money.

Our water glasses never went empty, and the service was great.

Located close to downtown Petoskey, Palette Bistro offers views of the lake from their back porch, indoor seating, and a nice front patio. We were seated out front and greeted promptly by our friendly server. We started the meal with the crab cakes, and I decided on a farmer's pasta with salmon as my entree. In between we had fresh bread with a sweet balsamic and olive oil for dipping. Our server was fantastic. Appropriately attentive, and going the extra mile to help grab things for kiddo (like a coloring sheet and mug full of crayons), to make sure that everyone enjoyed the meal. The ambiance is relaxed and definitely a vacation vibe, and we enjoyed winding down our day that way. If you're in the area and need a place to grab dinner, Palette Bistro deserves a spot on your list!

I wont share any "spoiler's" so when you visit you can experience all the niceties personally. Food is fresh and menu changes occur seasonally. Tonite we only had appetizers but they were both very good. We had the Baked Brie, a puff pastry filled with creamy Brie and a jam dressing. It included a very tasty fruit and nut cracker, sliced apples and Carmel corn nuggets. Great combination of sweet and savory! We also had the Shrimp Cocktail. You get 8 very nice size shrimp, which were nicely chilled (nothing worse than warm shrimp) and cocktail sauce. The shrimp were fresh and meaty, good flavor. The staff is great. Riley did a great job taking care of us. We were also greeted by the owner John, who was visiting and talking with every table of guests. This IMO is a sign of a establishment that wants to insure their patrons are happy and enjoying their experience. We would definitely recommend giving them a try when in Cheboygan or the area.

But the real standout for me was the cannoli pizza--creative, indulgent, and completely unforgettable. Beyond the food, what truly sets Pond Hill Farm apart is the experience. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly charming--exactly what you want for a night out in Northern Michigan. As a fellow local business, I also deeply appreciate how supportive they are of the community. It means something--and it shows in everything they do. If you haven't been, go. And if you have, you already know.
