HOWEVER - gotta throw shade at the management of the restaurant/hotel. There was 1 server handling 8-10 tables on her own, doing the best she could, but the wait time was bananas. For 2 entrees, we waited 40 minutes. She was obviously hustling but someone from the management staff should have came down to support if they were short handed.

It was also E-M-P-T-Y! For a Friday night at 6:20pm, that seems immensely disappointing. I wish they had the menu we saw. Whoever designed your restaurant is SPOT! ON! We wined and boogied.

Ambiance. Overlooking the golf course and the bay, the view at sunset was majestic. Combined with how elegant the interior setting was, total A+. 3. Drinks. Good cocktails and a fantastic Gin and Tonic ( not pictured here-it was so good I just bypassed the pics asap lol). 4. Caesar Salad: very crisp and fresh romaine with fantastic anchovies and these cheese crisps that were so very tasty. 5. Duck. Perfect taste, texture, with a tomato jus and a purée of parsnip underneath that was fantastic. 6. Sweet potato beignets. Oh...my...God! This is an appetizer but could/should be a dessert. So sweet and served with bacon jam. Amazing! 7. Pear and salted caramel layer cake. Wow! My wife and I highly enjoyed this. It's a pear compote with a spiced cake in the middle. Well worth it and definitely a place we will come back to when we are back in Traverse City. Very highly recommended.

The pulled pork sandwich was delicious and had just the right amount of BBQ sauce. The only thing I left on my plate were a few waffle fries- there were so many!! My husband said his salmon was incredible and cooked to perfection. He cleared his plate and almost ordered more food to go! Our cocktails were unique, tasty, and made with love by the talented bartender. Service was prompt, and our waitress was friendly and patient while we took our time trying to decide on what we wanted to order. Atmosphere is cool and cozy, and the restrooms were clean and well taken care of. We will definitely be heading back here the next time we're in Traverse City!

The atmosphere here does have a homey feel to it. I just wished it had more matched it's name and…read morehave a cottagey feel to it. That being picky though, the place feels welcoming and is brightly lit and feels well cared for. I ordered the Pot Roast ($20). It's described as slow roasted with carrots and onions and mashed potatoes. It was fantastic. The meat was tender and delicious. the gravy was perfect without overpowering. The carrots and onions were a great compliment. Plus the real mashed potatoes were made to perfection. Smooth, yet still had the potatoness to the texture. The taste was one of the better mashed potatoes I've had in TC. I don't know what they do th their TC Cherry Coke, but it is spectacular. Lastly for dessert I got their Lava Cake ($7), it was fine, but disappointing after such a great meal. I don't know if it was from frozen or what. However the texture was a little off andvthe taste was only okay. I wouldn't get it again. The service was very friendly and super helpful. Overall a 4 1/2 star review. Since I have to round, I'm going to forgive the dessert and give a full 5 stars. Would I return? Absolutely. Especially if I'm craving Pot Roast.

Our server was great and refilled our coffee and water with out having to ask. My husband got the western omelette and it was huge. He said it was very good.

Seemed like there were a lot of locals.

The bartenders were both kind and helpful with answering questions about the food and bourbons.

Steak so tender you could cut it with a fork. Veggies were also cooked perfectly and so tasty. Boyfriend got the whitefish fried rice bowl (the other special) and that was awesome, too. Shrimp cocktail and fresh baked bread appetizers were both so good and the bourbons... well they never disappoint. :) We had a great time here and encourage you to try it yourself before letting the bad reviews influence you not going. Oh and because my boyfriend was working in the area, this was his second time coming here in one week because it was so good.
