The "Michigan U-Turn": sautéed portobello mushrooms, brie, saltine onions, apple pear balsamic's law, mixed greens
T.J. G.

Well, this is a place I've eagerly been waiting to open for some time. The prospect of a place that could have a variety of healthy options for breakfast in the morning, combined with an amazing selection of freshly made bagels and unique combos for lunch and dinner was something not to be missed. In short - I wasn't disappointed! Tried two dishes today. The first was the Michigan U-Turn, on a Rosemary infused bagel. It was phenomenal - the Brie was an amazing substitute for the cream cheese, and not something I'd have put on a bagel! Other ingredients were fresh too. The thing was so big, I could barely get my mouth around it. I was so Impressed with lunch that I brought my wife and daughter back for dinner. This time I want with the "Salmon Spread" bowl, which had just enough spice with the Sriracha sauce to give it a real zing. Again, everything was very fresh. My daughter and had the "Sperry's Steak and Spin" flatbread, which she thoroughly enjoyed, and my wife had the "Island Loop" bagel sandwich, which she also thought was amazing. Finally, we finished with two dessert items, the Smore's and the fruit pizza flatbread. Again, my wife and daughter loved making Smore's at the table, and I was once again impressed with the freshness of the fruit. All in all, I came away being very pleased with the quality of the food. They have been open exactly 2 days, so I fully expect them to continue to have to work some kinks out, but if this is the quality to be expected of the CityFlats boutique hotel/eatery concept, I will definitely be a return customer!

Seaway salmon bowl and Edison Square flatbread

I'm very excited to see a nice breakfast spot so popular in Port Huron. The restaurant is in a great spot along Black River and offers outdoor seating to enjoy the boats going by. Inside is quite small but gets the job done. I've visited the kitchen about three times now and have had decent experiences each time. One thing I have noticed is that they frequently run out of ingredients, which is understandable as they are a new restaurant, but nevertheless disappointing. On one trip with a few friends, we were told that they had run out of acai and therefore could not order the acai bowl. After we had received our food, a new table behind us was somehow able to order the acai that they had previously run out of. Similarly, on my most recent trip to The Kitchen, I had ordered three bagels (1 sliced and toasted, 2 unsliced and untoasted) and one bagel sandwich to go. Once I had opened the bag, I saw that all three of the bagels had been sliced and toasted and the bagel sandwich was missing an ingredient. The woman taking my order had read it back to me accurately, yet the food came out with errors. I believe there must be troubles in communication between the front and back of house staff. Even still, the food I've had from The Kitchen is alright. The salmon breakfast bowl was 4/10 and the Edison square flatbread a 5/10. The bagels are great and perfectly chewy, my favorite being the onion rosemary. Despite the hiccups, I am excited to see places like this popping up downtown and giving the community reasons to spend more time there.

Enjoyed one of the last days of the season to eat outside overlooking the Black River. Fresh, delicious ingredients and stellar customer service!

Very Relaxing!

So many delicious sweet treat I want to try. Enjoying a relaxing afternoon before going back to work Monday! My husband and I love the view and coffee at the kitchen in downtown Port Huron! I feel like a tourist in my own home town!

Amazing sweet treats! All the treats are made in house. Its been open for a little over 3 months. I got the cranberry Orange scone which was amazing and a coffee. My parents got the gingerbread cake, the flavor and frosting was second to none. Huge Slice of cake for only 3.50. Coffee only $2 with refills. Jalapeno bacon cheddar bagel- yes please! What a great place to come sit by the water and enjoy some delicious treats and a coffee. I can't believe we haven't been here before, living so close. We will definitely be back soon, please come check this place out. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Love this place. We will have to come back and try some of those sandwiches.

Scratch made scones and scratch made bagels with a fresh and full menu of choices. I'm from out of town and wandered in here for a light lunch and coffee and was just blown away by the food and service. The plus was that they have gluten free bagels! My friend and I stopped by the second day and they were much busier. There was a slight mix-up in the kitchen, but the staff came over right away to check on us and make it right. If you have the chance, definitely stop by. The window-side tables also have a great view of the water.

Omg so so so good! Was in town for work for the week. Was looking online for a gift shop and stumbled across this hidden gem. The sales woman at the Weekend (which shares the property) talked me into trying the scratch made bagel and amazing coffee based on her description. This is my 2nd time back this week the bean & kale soup, the delicious bagels and amazing coffee, cant compare to the EXCELLENT customer service and friendly staff ...

Their salad bowl. I thought I accidentally ordered a side salad

Super bummed with this place. Loved the view, people who work here and menu options but I paid $14 for a salmon salad bowl and it was the size of a side salad. Couldn't believe how expensive it was and how small the portion is. I may try them again but I was starving and their portions do not match the price.

I ordered "The Vault" and made it vegan by omitting the feta and replacing the original cream cheese with the vegan option. Very filling!

The snails were a little chewier than I had in France, but that's to be expected. The way the little layer of puff pastry soaked up the garlic butter more than made up for it. The cheese was the icing on the cake, er, snails. The walleye was some of the best I've ever eaten. It was perfectly cooked, and a real treat. It had loads of flavor, a touch of heat and was absolutely delicious. I loved the Tortino! It wasn't a big dessert, but it didn't need to be. Big on chocolate flavor and the hazelnuts were a delightful additon.

We had the whole roasted Russian River Trout and Teriyaki beef tips. Started with the warm marinated olives. I'm very objective and have to say the trout was the most superb meal I've had this year away from home. I had to ask how they sourced the fish because I was amazed at how clean, fresh, and flavorful it was. We are both lifelong foodies and skilled cooks so the whole dish service was exciting and not commonly done. The staff were also handling a wedding on the rooftop, but service was excellent regardless. Our waitress really listened to everything we said and ensured our food was served as we preferred. I was also pleased that we're were able to move to an acceptable table away from foot traffic. I would have been bumped on repeat otherwise with the wedding guests coming down. I hope the couple and guests had a great experience as well! Forgot to congratulate them. So happy to finally give 5 stars! Keep up this tempo VT.

I've been there a few times now and what I observe is people eating not people enjoying a unique tasty meal with water views. I saw people eat and leave quickly without really enjoying their meal. Based on our meals, what I saw coming out of the kitchen and how fast it came out, Freighters must be serving a lot of frozen product, basically pub food. The cheese curds were the saddest, greasiest one I ever had (they were squares not curds) and hit the trash when we got home. Service was good. Not sure what the answer is. Perhaps it is just the taste of the people in the area...they like what they like. The Entrees on the menu were somewhat diverse and it looks like they are trying to upscale a little. We vacation to the thumb area often and finding good dining even good pub dining is very challenging.

Dinner. Then breakfast and dinner again. Staff and servers affable and helpful, except the last night I got the feeling our waitress wasn't as friendly with ppl who weren't local. Still, she did her job, though it would have been nice if she brought me a utensil for my pie, instead of me having to ask for it. Still, we tipped more than 20% because serving people in restaurants is a tough job. Especially these days. Both servers on Friday night and Saturday breakfast were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The young man at the register was super friendly and nice.
