After Labor Day they have a "limited " menu. It's pricey and the food is barely edible(actually we couldn't finish any of the food we ordered so I'm being charitable here). There are a number of really interesting and very good restaurants a few minutes away along the river. Give the Windward a hard pass. The hotel needs to redo their whole concept; even the bar is limited and not very good. This is a great hotel and you'll have an absolutely wonderful time here but sail clear of the Windward!

While the service was a bit slow and prices are on the higher side, the food quality makes it worth the visit. The wedge salad was fantastic--super fresh and flavorful. I had the mushroom Swiss burger which was massive and delicious, loaded with sautéed onions and mushrooms. Fries were perfectly seasoned. Our daughter is gluten-free and loved the cauliflower crust pizza--crispy, generous portion, and totally satisfying. Great spot for a relaxing meal with a view. Just plan on a little extra time and bring your appetite!

This wasn't our first time here but it's been several years. Not sure what happened but it…read moredefinitely isn't what it used to be. The cloth napkins are gone along with the jumbo shrimp for the cocktail appetizer (now you get 6 tiny pieces of shrimp that look like they came in one of the frozen rings from Walmart). It was disappointing having celebrated many special occasions at Scotty's and everyone always enjoyed it. I don't think I'll be going back any time soon. Service was great and the food was edible so gave two stars but not worth the $ anymore.

Feel like I need to update my review for Table 14. We haven't eaten here in a few years, so we gave…read moreit a try for our anniversary this year. I noted it was our anniversary in the reservation, and clearly it did not make one lick of difference. Our server was harried, disinterested, and perfunctory. However, the food was delicious. They are still stickler about substitutions, so I just asked for the halibut without any risotto, and they brought me garlic mashed potatoes anyway, which they charge $7 for. The table next to us was denied the opportunity to swap their starch. Still a lot of menu items with risotto, which is a bummer. The halibut was perfectly cooked, although I was longing for more of the champagne cream sauce. The fried chicken was fabulous. We both liked the green beans, but vegetarians be warned they are cooked with bacon. Mash potatoes were meh. It is charming inside, although some tables are wedged a bit close together.

Was really happy to find a fine dining experience in Ludington. While "pub grub" is great (and…read moreplentiful in this town) being here a whole week we were itching for some interesting food. Loved the shrimp and grits, Caesar salad was good, but could have been improved with homemade croutons instead of out of a box. The couple we were with had the buttermilk chicken and she crab soup. Again, buttermilk chicken should have been served with a nice big biscuit, if trying to mimic southern style. A nice plate of bread and butter would have rounded out the meal beautifully, which sadly was not offered. Other than that, the service was wonderful, the ambience is very tasteful and enjoyable, and it was a solid place to enjoy a fine dining meal! A few tweaks & would've given it a five star review.

She was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly and very attentive. We were seated at a very busy table, pathway through to the kitchen. So I wish I would've asked to be relocated when we first sat down. But now we know. The Shawarma Platter was divine. Pickled veg the perfect accompaniment to the meat. The pork ribeye was also delectable. Lots of options, pizza, pasta, Mediterranean, Greek, Italian. It was hard to choose. The type of place I would definitely want to come back. Cocktails were incredible. And the decor is charming, with little stags in coats hanging up all over the place.

It was our first visit to Doc's on the River…read more The restaurant recently just changed names and ownership. The new owner also renovated the restaurant and the up north vibes are cozy and welcoming. There is a very large parking lot. When we walked in, there was just a small nook to stand while we waited for a table. It was very busy, but expected for dinner time on a Saturday night. There was not a host at the stand so some other guest had a pen and was adding everyone's name to the list. Which ended up being very helpful actually! The host came back to tend to those waiting when she had time. She was very pleasant and kind. The space could be a family restaurant, but I would say it definitely leans more towards a sports bar. There is a full bar, high top tables, regular tables and lots of tvs playing sports. Every table was full when we were there and it was pretty loud. Towards the end of our visit it started to clear out a little bit. We noticed that when it did get quieter when people started leaving, there was not any music playing or anything. It kind of made it awkward feeling. We had the jalapeño corn bites as an appetizer. They were served with ranch. The bites were ok. I probably wouldn't order them again. For our entrees, my boyfriend and I both had the broiled walleye. It was very good and it was not dry. The mashed potatoes were amazing and my favorite part of the meal. The veggies were fine, nothing fancy! Our waitress seemed stressed and you could very much tell. The place was very busy but she was still attentive and helpful. They do have very nice restrooms. The place felt clean. Overall a good spot if you are passing through.

I had barely set foot in the door when the two bartenders at the bar greeted me warmly and welcomed me in and told me I could sit anywhere I wanted. I sat at the bar and as recommended by a local, I ordered the pepper jack crab soup, which was delicious. One thing to be aware of: don't expect real crab in the soup. Imitation only. But it's plentiful and delicious on a frigid winter day. The bartender recommended the roasted chicken or the perch, and living near another great lake and always having ready access to perch, I decided on the broasted chicken. I was not disappointed. It came with four pieces, choice, potato, and a choice of another side. It was way too its food, but I ate more than I thought they would because it was that good. I will definitely return to the painted lady!
