Thought we would try this place when in town and it did not disappoint. It's a small place and I think you need to make reservations ahead of time. We did anyway. The service was great! I got a vodka martini that was a tad on the pricy side. We both got the buttermilk fried chicken with mashed potatoes and collard greens and it was outstanding. Great crunch on the chicken and juicy inside. The sides were good too. We had crème brûlée for dessert and that was good as well. We will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

Ludington is fortunate to have this kind of eating establishment in town. We ordered the duck and the shrimp and grits. Both were delicious. Service was solid. Ambience is very relaxed yet a bit elegant. Can't wait to return. read more

Fabulous food and service. Wonderful ambience. It's the absolute best food in town! My brother and his wife took us there as a gift. I don't think I've ever had that delicious of a meal. It was outstanding. read more

Great Service !! Food and cocktails were to die for. Highly recommend!! It's a small quaint restaurant but that's what we liked about it . read more

Second visit was definitely less impressive, unfortunately. Service was very slow. We ordered the crabby chips again, there was hardly any crab this time. My scallop dinner came with three whole small scallops (yippee) on the same oddly textured risotto, and the whole meal was incredibly salty ( and I like salt!).. Had the server come back to check, I would have reported it, but she didn't. On the bright side, husband was very happy with his fried chicken. I hate to feel so disappointed after such a great first visit. read more

I hate to oversell this but it might be one of the best restaurants I've ever been too. Everything was over the top incredible from the crab soup starter to both desserts that were ordered; crème brûlée and blueberry cobbler. Mussels were phenomenal, absolutely had to share that fact. Service was ideal and the ambiance was cozy. Make sure to reserve a table ahead of time! read more

Best meal in Ludington. Everyone in my party really enjoyed the food. I had the crusted white wish which was seasoned perfectly and the true highlight was the cocktail I had. I can't find the exact name of it as it is not listed on their online menu but it had bourbon and some sort of cherry liqueur. Best drink I've had in a while!! read more

One of the best meals I've ever had. I was shocked to find a restaurant this good in Ludington! Crab cake was amazing. Halibut special was amazing and the risotto was cooked perfectly. My wife's shrimp gnocchi was great too. Everything was cooked perfectly, seasoned properly, served hot. Key lime pie was delicious. Just a perfect meal. Service was attentive but never intrusive. We showed up without a reservation but were seated immediately (but will definitely make a reservation next time because it fills up). Vibe is chill and not too fussy, typical resort-town mix of t-shirts and dressy people. Good wine list with several affordable (under $40) bottles. Entrees were reasonably priced with pretty much everything under $40 and several under $30. Literally ZERO complaints. It was great! read more

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner. The crab cakes were amazing! Best dirty martini too. Great option if you are looking for a fine dining experience in Ludington. read more

Table 14 - Dirty Martini - Southern Near Me - Ludington, Michigan

We spent our last meal in Ludington at Table 14. We didn't have reservations, but they gave us a large table for 6, near the window. It had a nice warm, and classy feel, that matched the quality of low country cuisine from Charleston. South Carolina, where the owners lived. We started with Brie and Chutney, which was amazing. Then we shared a Whiskey Soaked New York Strip steak with garlic mashed potatoes, and green beans with bacon. A bit disappointed with the quality of the steak, but the sauce was great. Service was professional, and well timed. read more

Zero would be more correct. First nice some private even closed it. FRIDAY night they closed 1 hr before time posted on door or online. And several empty tables. Skip it! read more

The dirty espresso martini is TRANSCENDENT. Courtney the bartender is a genuine delight. The owner, Laura, (women owned business!!!) is so personable and lovely. Their specials are always fabulous but the lobster salad is is MUST HAVE!!! Best spot in town. read more

What a wonderful find! We were visiting town and came across all the great reviews on Yelp on this gem. Food, service and drinks were great! Forgot to take pictures before we all dug in, but entree choices were Filet with port wine sauce, shrimp and grits, chicken fried chicken, and the salmon. All were excellent. Service was wonderful, Amanda really took care of us and we'd love to go back if we are ever back in town! read more

Excellent meal and service. I wasn't expecting such good and creative food. The staff were very attentive and accommodating

#1 reservations ONLY! Yes, it's that good! A small venue with only 13 tables (ie Table 14 but they removed 1 table since opening). Excellent cocktails and delicious food. Southern flair as the owners are locals but lived in SC for a while and bright the flavors with them! read more

Upscale atmosphere and menu. Good service and food well prepared and presented. Would go back. Highly recommended.

We have been to this place 4 times. We have hoped every time we vacation in Ludington that they will get it right. I hate to give a negative review after one visit, even though our first visit was a disaster. We ordered a bottle of wine which my husband chose for my birthday. When the server arrived with the wine it was not what we ordered. The hostess( owner) popped over to tell us it was " just as good". Not ok. We know wine. This place charges exorbitantly for what they serve. The sides are risotto or potatoes. The greens are overcooked and under seasoned. All the " southern" sauces are over sweet and frankly unpalatable. But the worst part is the service. The servers seam totally stressed out, if you ask questions or for any substitutions they freak out. The hostess especially is incredibly rude and condescending. Bottom line is you don't get what you pay for here. read more

We enjoyed a delightful dinner, starting off with a couple of old fashions. Our appetizer was delicious! 2 black angus steaks were the perfect entre! read more

I'm not a 5 star person, however here it is. Simple tasteful food, personable service and a nice atmosphere make this underrated location fantastic. Buttermilk fried chicken, good. Mashed potatoes creamy, garlicky, and well seasoned, very good. The collard greens, sweet, flavorful, authentic, and perfect, excellent. All this matched with a worthy wine list, great cocktails and excellent service make it worth every penny. The desserts top everything off !! Well done again. Keep it up!!! read more

I stopped in for brunch with some friends and we had an absolute blast! The food, atmosphere and drinks were perfect for relaxing on a chilly Sunday in Michigan. You can't miss this cozy spot with South Carolina's flag flapping proudly over the front door. The decor is understated with a bit of southern flair. Standouts of the meal included the shrimp & grits, chicken & waffles and bloody marys. Everything was made to order and came out hot and beautifully plated. The dinner menu also looked great so stand by for a follow up review which I'm sure will be glowing. read more

Best place in Ludington. Just great homemade dining experience. Remember to get your reservations in. Great servers and the best mixologist in town read more

Have had better experiences here. They are very strict about no substitutions and the majority of the menu is served with risotto which severely limits your options when you don't eat rice. The ahi tuna steak was fine. Served a bit cold. I get that it's sushi grade tuna, but it's normally warm. The balsamic glaze was overpowering and the portobello mushrooms were nearly inedible. My husband's red beans and rice was better. Good balance of spices. Cocktails were good. read more

Table 14 has quickly become my fiancé and I's favorite restaurant in Ludington. The first time I visited, I got the salmon and risotto which was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The most recent time I visited, I got the gnocchi dish and it was to DIE FOR. We were told it's typically seasonal and was originally a special but was so popular they kept it on the menu. Absolutely delicious. Service was great each time, as were the drinks. I would definitely suggest getting a reservation since the space is limited. read more

Was impressed with the food and service when we were finally able to get here and try it! Definitely need a reservation for this smaller place, and highly recommend sitting inside- higher class establishment with a impressive menu. The service was pretty good and the food was great. We tried the pork belly to start and I had the duck, which was good. The chocolate mousse for dessert was better than average! read more

Came in Saturday eve having driven through all manner of snow squalls and attendant delights from chicago. Two of us had the candied pork belly appetizer, then the Carolina sweet tea duck and the red beans and rice with shrimp with a bottle of Côtes du Rhône. All were superb, service was personal and attentive wo being overbearing. Visits from both owners. The choco mousse was okay but needs higher cacao content to balance out the raspberry. Gracious surroundings, a lot of blue music but not too loud. Highly recommend, class and service all the way. read more

I'm dismayed that in my previous visits here I've failed to recognize the international symbol for fine cuisine proudly flying at the entrance to this establishment. In my defense, my eyelids are generally frozen shut when I'm here. Anywhos...I had what may very well be the best dinner that I've shoved in my facehole in a very long time. So good that, after taking the first bite of the entree, I had to put the fork down, shut my eyes and just sit there for a few moments...this was not to be consumed as would Major Payne on date night. It was such perfectly crafted Lowcountry fare, that by the end of the evening I was throwing around 'y'alls' and 'bless your hearts' like Colonel Beauregard back from the War of Northern Aggression. I've already requested that they hold the same table for me tomorrow night. Seriously though...perfect experience all the way around. Called to make sure they could fit my single self in, was greeted warmly by the awesome hostess. Alecia worked with me, and was fantastic, friendly, and super knowledgeable. I had the PEI mussels to start. Enormous serving, so I restrained myself and only ate half so people wouldn't stare thinking I was a competitive eater. Can't recall what the broth was, but it could have been served on its own. Had the absolute best shrimp and grits that I've ever tried (I did finish that). Rarely order dessert, but HAD to...went with the snozzberry selection they had last night (I can't remember the name, but it was pound cake served with rum-soaked berries and fresh whipped cream). Each selection was perfect. read more

Table 14 - Southern Near Me - Ludington, Michigan

The food was decent, and they accommodated us on a holiday weekend at the last minute, outside, with no problem. Service was lacking. We (2-top) we're sitting for a half hour to 45 minutes before they took our order, while a 6-top top came in after us, also on the patio, and had drinks and appetizers sooner, and were eating faster than we were. We probably won't be back. read more

I wish I had skipped this restaurant during my trip to Ludington. I spent twice as much money and enjoyed the food half as well as any other meal. I had to skip dessert because every course was worse than I expected. By the time dessert rolled around, I had caught on to the scam this place is running. read more

We were early here, and had the place mostly to ourselves. It is a cute little place in Ludington with really only 14 tables, hence the name. My wife had the scallops and I had the calabash style fish, which included oysters and shrimp. Overall both meals were very good. Perfectly seasoned, crispy and delicious. Overall the service was very good, the drinks excellent. This is the type of place that is going to set you back, but it is worth it these days. A small menu, with made fresh everything, they type of a restaurant I want to support. We had an overall excellent experience. read more

Upscale restaurant with good food and great service. Keep in mind their menu changes often. The dish that stood out to me was the crab cake appetizer and shrimp & grits. I got the sweet-potato-pecan-bacon-gnocchi and that was the worst dish of the night. I saw some other reviewers saying that they loved it but it really just wasn't IT for us. First of all, the menu description wrote bacon as the second or third word so I assumed there would be a pretty good amount of bacon but there was HARDLY ANY. So disappointing. It was little crumbles that were really hard to find throughout. Second of all, the gnocchi had cheese in the middle which made it so that it was SO sticky and the worst gnocchi I've had in my life. It was sticking to the roof of my mouth, I couldn't finish the whole bowl of it. The sweet roasted pecans were the best part of the dish. If I would've known how bad it was I would've gotten the crab cake entree/main course instead. Regarding the mussels, the sauce was very good but the mussels themselves didn't taste that fresh so it's a no from me. Pecan dessert with vanilla ice cream tasted all right but I wasn't wowed. The salad was perfect. The shrimp and grits had a lovely sauce with good spices and overall just a well done dish. Duck breast was okay, nothing special. Would come back again. read more

Cute little place, upscale and great location. We didn't have reservations on a Friday night, so we sat at the bar. The bartender, Brook, was absolutely adorable. In addition to being a good bartender, she was so charming and professional. Ask for her if you stop in. Salmon was delicious, and enough for two if you are not too hungry. Beet salad was not only presented beautifully but very good as well. read more

While in town visiting the in-laws, I found this amazing little spot. With a limited menu (which I prefer) I decided on the Brie and chutney app, and the salmon entree. The Brie was melt in your mouth good, with this balsamic chutney glaze and French bread: yum-o! My salmon was cooked perfectly, the asparagus which laid underneath the salmon was grilled to perfection, and don't even get me started on that risotto...the perfect cheesy & creamy consistency. If you haven't been, I highly recommend! But plan accordingly, they close at 9 (that was the only downfall- would have stay for another round and dessert but it was past 9 by that time...) Thank you for the delicious meal! read more

Dishes were fantastic! The owner was most cordial and inviting with a smile to her guests. The most Delightful and Upbeat server, Thomas, introduced the eye-opening menu. To start the palate were tasty appetizers: the beet salad was roasted and the pork belly called the Divine Swine was certainly heavenly. Then the delicious main meal were the Carolina Sweet Tea Duck and the special du jour veggie stuffed fish Walleye Special were accompanied by their excellent mouthwatering Creamy Parmesan Risotto. Finishing off the meal was the scrumptious Creme Brûlée and the yummy to-die-for Chocolate Decadence. After drinking the refreshing Mojito and Lychee Martini, the quenching Moscow Mules were the way to go!! Highly suggest this restaurant for a romantic getaway in Ludington, MI. read more
