The whitefish was undercooked and greasy with zero flavor. The buttermilk fried chicken was so over salted it was inedible. The she crab soup had been sitting so long that it got thick enough to stand a spoon in it and was lukewarm. The waitress "forgot" to put in the order for 2 of our party. We were a party of 9 and were split into 2 tables, yet we were treated as two because the waitress didn't put our order in as one ticket. One table was served appetizers while the other table waited 15 minutes for theirs. Appetizers came after the soup for the table that waited. Even though all the serving mistakes were made such as serving two forgotten dinners after everyone else was done eating, there was no attempt to make it right such as offering a free dessert. All in all bad food and bad service read more

Stepped up the Ludington food game. Crabby chips need to be renamed heavenly chips. You'll have good luck if you order the duck--call it quits only after the shrimp and grits. Wine list is solid. Service is warm and inviting. Great value for the money. read more

Table 14 - Bay of fundy salmon and chicken and waffles. Both delicious! - Southern Near Me - Ludington, Michigan

I had one of the best overall restaurant experiences of my life here. Our server Thomas was extremely attentive and helpful. The cocktails we got were great. We got the naan as an appetizer, with the duck and salmon as entrees and everything was excellent. I have nothing bad to say about Table 14. Excellent food, drinks and service! I would come back to Ludington just for this place! read more

Table 14 - Duck - Southern Near Me - Ludington, Michigan

See all

We went here as a party of 7 on a busy Saturday night. We had a 7:00 reservation and were seated immediately. Once placing our drink orders and receiving them (perhaps approximately 10 minutes later) it took a while before we were checked on to place our orders. Due to that, our meals didn't arrive until after 8pm... at which point most of us were on the verge of chewing our own arms off. Despite the wait, the food was delicious, hot, and well plated. One of the group members has some very specific dietary restrictions and our waiter was great at asking questions and then verifying things with the kitchen, which is very respectful of someone who cannot eat certain things. They were packed the whole time we were there, so it does get a bit noisy... I would prefer to visit in the summer on their patio! read more

Table 14 - Scallops & risotto - Southern Near Me - Ludington, Michigan

Ah, table 14. Should be a great place. I think it is an ok place but a place where the waitress has to assure me that she us a BLONDE has got a problem. And I am guessing it was not the waitress's fault. It was a week night in a tourist town and the chef was way below par or was not there or had gotten a better offer other then cooking my dinner. Maybe he owes Tony Soprano money and thought I was Tony. I look like Tony, kinda if you squint. Drinks were good Martini @ 12 .00 a French 75 @ 10.00 and this was sublime. We like 75's and this was good. Drinks were made by, I a not a blonde. Knows her way around a bar. Crab cake @ 16.00 crab soup @ 6.00 for a cup Duck entree @ 26.00. , duck breast cut into medallions on polenta Tuna napolean @ 28 2 x drink + 2 house wines 40.00 1 dessert and 2 coffees @ 12.00 + tax for a total 131.28 plus tip 151.28 Soup came out right away but no starter. Ok. No inquiry for 2nd drink, wine nada. Then waitress appears with crab cake in left hand and entree in right. Both together, no gee whiz, no surprise, puts both on table and vanishes. Older more experienced woman that was hostess looks and walks away. Waitress comes back flustered to apologize. I finished my crab and thought well the duck won't be hot but should work. I like duck . Surprise ! Not only cold but raw. Does not have to baked into oblivion but bleeding onto the polenta ? How much worse can it get, you may be wondering? The coffee comes out, after a long wait, they were making a fresh pot. Reeking of descaler. Someone had cleaned the coffee machine and not rinsed it. Gave the coffee back, waited some more, new coffee came out along with the non blonde disclaimer and no descaler. Creme brûlée, was good. Not great but very decent. Left a decent tip for the young lady, she would need a drink after a night like that. Sometimes timing is everything. read more

We found this place because we wanted something more high end for dinner. Table 14 is primarily a meat centric restaurant and we are vegetarian. We decided to see if they could even do anything vegetarian or we would have to find another restaurant. Fortunately, they were extremely accommodating and helpful finding something good for us. The chef made us a vegetable and risotto dish that was fantastic. The risotto is a must try, and the vegetables were some of the best I've ever had in my life. Will definitely be back. read more

Table 14 - Vegetables and risotto - Southern Near Me - Ludington, Michigan

I'm always happy to see new places and new menus in Ludington, the town that is stuck in 1970. The decor is great and the menu looked good. I lived in South Carolina for a long time, and was ready for some familiar vibes to hit my tastebuds. However, the execution doesn't quite make it. The she-crab soup, which is supposed to be pretty rich, is over the top. The crab salad sandwich was Ok, and at least generous with the crab meat, but I'd not order it again. The service was great and very helpful. The sign outside, as noted by another reviewer was virtually illegible. I drove past the restaurant twice before I found it. I'm hoping some adjustments will be made, as I really wanted to love this place. read more

The best food! We live UpNorth but we will be coming back soon! The escargot is amazing!

We came here for our friends anniversary. Table 14 has a classic southern country upscale feel. The bar is cherry wood and the walls are a country blue/gray with charming pictures and accents that have a southern flair. The food is Ann assortment of steak seafood and low country cuisine. They have a nice wine list and an interesting drink menu too. We ordered a French white that paired well with our fish entrees. We started with the she crab and cream of asparagus soup both were excellent. I had the salmon special while the others had shrimp and grits and two had scallops. All the dishes were excellent the scallops were correctly cooked and the shrimp and grits were both tasty and authentic. The salmon was great and the risotto sides were good too. We had key lime pie for dessert and that too was excellent overall we had an enjoyable time and very good dinner. read more

Table 14 - Southern Near Me - Ludington, Michigan

I came here with friends on a Saturday night and we had reservations. After being seated we sat for well over 15 minutes without seeing a server, I ended up going to the bar to ask for water for our table. We came here on the hottest day ever and the restaurant didn't have any air conditioning. Our service wasn't good, but the food was absolutely delicious. We spent about 2 hours here for dinner and decided not to order desert. read more

My family was searching for a place to eat near Lake Michigan mid-week and decided to take a chance on this new trendy restaurant. Located on the street corner, it was a bit tricky to find, as the sign is in a borderline unreadable font, but we managed. First, the downsides: the service was mediocre at best. The waitress didn't tell us the soup special until we asked, and we had to flag her down a few times for drink refills, even though the restaurant was almost empty (2 other tables). My brother ordered the chicken entree, which turned out to be ridiculously overpriced for the small piece of meat he was given. I'm giving 4 stars because I was very satisfied with my order. The crab cake sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. It seems like they're still working out the kinks, but I see great potential in this place. read more

Table 14 - Crab cake sandwich was a great choice! - Southern Near Me - Ludington, Michigan

Great menu, good wine list, excellent food and service. We ordered the beet salad, duck, and shrimp and grits with a very nice pre dinner cocktail and a GSM to accompany the meal. Sure you would enjoy it. read more

Good but the jambalaya is in a think tomato sauce that is over powering. Ran out of the shrimp and grits too. Looked really good. Good service tho. read more

Unexpectedly good. We were only in town for the night to catch the morning ferry. We checked for dinner places on Yelp and TripAdvisor and this place caught our attention - and it proved to be a good choice. It is a small, intimate place with an interesting menu. Our waitress was personable and attentive, but not intrusive. The food was delicious with some unique choices. If we are in the area again we will be back. read more

Excellent food from appetizer to dessert. And great service too. I highly recommend Table 14.

We visited Table 14 and were blown away by the food. We sat outside on the patio and between the delicious food and outdoor atmosphere, our night was perfect. This is some of the best food we've had in a while. I highly recommend this place! read more

We visit friends who have lived in Ludington since the 1970s. Ever since discovering this place , we stop for dinner at least once each visit. Service has always been friendly and efficient. We usually get fish and it has always been properly prepared. Easy to overcook, but they always serve us flavorful and moist. This place remains a favorite. read more

Finally, a restaurant worth dining out in this town. From she crab soup to all entrees everything was wonderful. We had a lasagna dish, a s shrimp and grits and pasta and some scallops. Not a single disappointment. My family has a Lake Michigan home in the area and for years we've felt there just aren't many restaurants worth leaving the lake for. So glad that has changed. And the owners were present on site and so genuine, accommodating, and interesting to talk with. Next time I'm in town I will be back! read more

Excellent food and service-great downtown location with a few outdoor tables for people watching. Various specials added to their regular menu keeps you coming back for more. read more

The food is fine. Not great, and way too heavy on sauce, but fine. The staff is beyond obnoxious. You're in Ludington, MI, not NYC. Get over yourselves. read more

Sea Crab Soup is amazing. Every dish seemed delicious as everyone at the table was very happy. Portion sizes are a bit small & it's definitely not cheap but it was a great meal prepared by a Chef. I was not a fan of the risotto, but that's the first time I've ever had it so maybe that's just my preference that I don't like it. I would have gave 5 stars but it was pretty warm inside & so was my beer. I'm read more

My husband, son and I had dinner here last weekend and we're very happy with our meals. The shrimp and grits was especially yummy!!! We definitely need more restaurants of this caliber in the area. read more

This place gets four stars for ambiance, cleanliness, great staff, awesome food and nice wine list. Did I mention the shrimp and grits that we can't seem to get enough of? We've dined there several times over the last year and the food is constituently very good. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us. Very disappointed. When my husband ordered he asked for a substitution, the waitress (Grace), said she didn't want to upset Chef, so no substitution. When he received his salad, the waitress said they didn't have ranch dressing, so I hope you like this dressing, it's good. He wasn't even given a choice. My food was really good. I had the chicken caeser salad. Kevin had the pork steak. His 1st few bites were good. After that, it was very tough. When he tried to cut it, the entire table shook it was so tough. When I told the waitress (Grace), she didn't really say anything. The prices aren't that cheap, so you would expect quality. Very disappointing. Plus, our server had a bit of an attitude. I usually tip over 20%. Not tonight. read more

We tried this restaurant when we visited ludington and this restaurant looks different, kinda classy. We ordered cocktails which were nice. My husband ordered casserole with seafood in it and it comes with grilled asparagus as the side. Asparagus was nice. Casserole was nice but not really outstanding specially for a $29 meal per portion. We decided that this meal is s quite pricey; taste and size. I had oysters baked which part of their small platters. My meals is nice, I really like it. It comes with small salad in the middle which is delicious too. Their staff was ok. read more

Table 14 - Baked ouster something - Southern Near Me - Ludington, Michigan

This is an upscale restaurant for the area with reasonable prices. Several of us had the seafood casserole; everyone liked it. The outdoor space is extremely sunny if daylight even with the umbrella....wish the hostess has advised of this when the reservation was made, as indoors cannot accommodate a change of seating. The service was good and friendly. read more

Wish I could have rated the food, this review is all about service or significant lack of it. Traveling from California to Ludington to celebrate my mom's 75th birthday and looking for a nice dinner, I called about 2 weeks ahead and left a message about a reservation with specifics and my number. I called several times after that getting an answering machine always, even when the restaurant was open. I called again and left another message the morning of the day before the dinner hoping they were holding my reservation, of course not. I FINALLY got a call back at 9pm and was told that they have a new hostess and they had a note in their notebook about my reservation but "forgot to call" and "why didn't you call back". Then I was told I could have a reservation at 8pm, my request was for 6 or 6:30 because I am dining with elderly folks. I hope they get their front of the house act together eventually. read more

We ate there last night. They found out it was our anniversary and we had a table up front. The food was excellent. The best fish we have had in over ten years. We will be back for sure. read more

I visited in late November, so my experience might be different than if I visited in July. Having said that, I thought it was outstanding. Wife got the lowcountry lasagna. I got a catfish special. Both were great. Got an appetizer of pork belly and she grab soup. All were really good. It was pricy, but I felt it was fair for what they delivered. Just really good and I highly recommend. read more

Best restaurant in Ludington. steak is always cooked perfectly. Only restaurant in Ludington that can make an authentic Negroni. Scallops are excellent. Creme brulee yummy! Highly recommended! read more

We had dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday, four of us. Got seated quickly. Ordered Moscow Mules, and they tasted like they were topped off with soda water. No ginger beer taste to them. The food was basically good, but we were very disappointed that we couldn't substitute asparagus for collard greens. The waitress said no substitutions allowed. Also no salt and pepper available on the table. Overall, felt like our preferences were irrelevant. We chose to enjoy the evening but not because the restaurant was outstanding. Probably won't go again. read more

This restaurant was a favorite of our family & extended family that vacation in Ludington. We had an awesome experience with them accommodating our extended family group in one night last year. Unfortunately, we have seen the proprietor pick & choose who they will serve. We have always tipped no less than 30% of our bill, which is a compliment to their waitresses. Picking & choosing the likes & dislikes of an odd number of people on a party, (7), along with dissing an advance reservation because it conflicts with their preference of who they want to serve; & knowing 2 children were in our party that are very respectful & would entertain themselves with hand held games until we were all finished was the last straw. Taking a reservation from 7pm to then 8pm - then finding our 2 of our # were children & saying it would then need to be 8:30pm ... or a day the following week when we wouldn't even be here anymore on vacation is ridiculous to say the least! Feel sorry for the waitresses, but hopefully they'll be taken care of by the clientele that do choose to bother with the owners snooty attitude. read more

Tuesday night. Place was dead. Good food but expensive. Entree's do not include salad or bread. The food and wine was very good. Crab salad ($19) was very good! Only 2 tables, waitress kind of forgot about us, although did ask for more Salmon on my husbands salad as he got a minuscule portion ($19). Pleasant atmosphere, great tunes! read more

We came here off-season. The other choices for dinner in town left us a tad bit underwhelmed. We were a little concerned about this place until we got the food. Everything we ordered was SPECTACULAR!! I had the buttermilk chicken. It was a super-moist chicken breast that was lightly breaded and pan fried. Side mashed potatoes were the best I ever had in a restaurant and whoever made the collard greens is an American hero. Hard to get excited about collard greens but these were the best I have ever had. My wife ordered the salmon and it was similarly fantastic. Finished the evening off with a couple of desserts. Don't leave without trying them. We tried the creme brûlée and the Indoor S'more. Both were outstanding!! We will be eating here all weekend. read more
