Tracey's is a great culinary experience, on par with the kind of inventive, locally inspired cuisine you'd expect to find in Chicago or Portland, but with the warmth and authenticity that only a small-town Michigan setting can provide. The service was every bit attentive, in spite of the 40-person party in their banquet room. My Autumn Mushroom Risotto came with a chicken breast I can only describe as the most flavorful chicken I've ever had. If all chicken were prepared with whatever magic they used, chicken would be my favorite meat. I don't know their secret, but I can tell you this dish exceeded my expectations. The Dirty Sue is Tracey's rendition of a dirty martini. It was superb! Not overly briny and the blue cheese stuffed olives were perfect. read more

This place is a must try if you're going to be in Munising! The restaurant is part of a local inn and has very chic wood cabin vibes. Our server, Madeline, was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious, but the kitchen was pretty slow. We waited about 45 minutes for our food to come out, and we had to quickly pack it up to make it back into town for a sunset boat tour of Pictured Rocks. Definitely plan on extra buffer room if you're doing something similar. Still, I'd come back next time I'm up in the area :) read more

All of the staff from the second you walk in were so friendly. The food was incredible. I was so happy to find a place like this in the area. They even had blue cheese stuffed olives for the martinis which can be hard to find anywhere. read more

The staff was very kind and attentive. Politely answering our questions and gave us great recommendations for wine pairings. The menu is divided in small plates, medium, and large plates. If friends were joining for dinner I'd absolutely have tried the small plates for a variety. Healthy portions for the cost. read more

Can someone say delicious!?! If you're looking for an upscale dinner while visiting the UP then this is the place for you. Reservations not needed and we walked in after hiking all day through the national park, so come as you are. But I do recommend getting there early or after 7 cause the restaurant fills up quickly. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The menu is seasonal; however, they had not yet switched it to their fall/winter menu yet. Starters are served small plate style, but easily serve two. We started our dinner with the whipped ricotta with extra toasted bread. It was delicious, the perfect amount of herbs to balance out the confit garlic. For main dishes the potato chip whitefish in tomato broth was balanced well with herbs. It was the perfect warm dish after a day of hiking in the brisk air. My husband and son shared the surf and turf. Cooked and seasoned to perfection! The zip sauce is a great accompaniment to the steak and potatoes. Don't let the price scare you away. It is worth every penny! As for the finale the crème brûlée is rich and creamy and the perfect end to an amazing meal. read more

Best restaurant in Munising! We love the view of Lake Superior from the outdoor patio. Service is excellent and plates are fairly small but tastefully prepared. We had the ahi tuna, brussels sprouts, and whitefish plates for a healthy and delicious meal. Note: there is no sign for the restaurant, which is why it took us so long to discover it. Look for Tracey's inside the Roam Inn across the street from the high school. read more

Tracey's - Ahi tuna plate, delicious and artfully prepared from the outdoor patio overlooking Lake Superior - New American Near Me - Munising, Michigan

Great experience! We had a top notch meal, brussel sprouts were on point, whitefish rav were excellent, bison filet was great, shrimp diavolo was perfectly balanced (right amount of spice for those that can handle the heat), but the real standout was the flank steak frites. We consider ourselves steak snobs (sad but true) and this was the one of the most flavorful, well cooked steaks I've ever had. Truffle fries were decadent and perfectly paired. Cocktail and mocktail game were on point. But the real winner was the amazing service we received from Jamie. She made it such a fun experience, there when we needed her, and had some lovely chats about life in UP and being a 2nd grade teacher (auto sainthood, amiright?!). If you are looking for a relaxed, fun, but incredibly upscale ambiance in Munising this is a must stop. read more

My husband and I ate at Tracey's last Friday night, and it may very possibly have been the best meal I have ever had at a restaurant. We were NOT expecting that based on location- in our experience, restaurants in the UP can get away with being "meh" because, well I don't know... not a lot of choices? People are in the area for the outdoor experiences and not the food. And so, if you are a person who loves the beauty of the UP and also loves delicious food, you must go to Tracey's! I'll get the only negative out of the way at the top: the music did not fit the experience, in our opinion. Most of what we heard were terrible, whiney covers of classic rock songs. This was weird and jarring compared to the nice ambience and delicious food. Just some soothing piano or jazz would've fit much better. Other than that, neither of us had any complaints. Service was attentive and helpful without being overbearing, and the place was aesthetically pleasing outside and in. Now, on to the scrumptious food: Their menu is designed around sharing, so several of the items are served in a way that is conducive to that - we shared the Butter Lettuce salad and the Surf and Turf for two. Every. Single. Bite. Was Delicious!!! Chateaubriand, Lobster tail, Shrimp Scampi, Fried Whitefish, and even the potatoes and asparagus were just top notch. Not a single bite was lacking anything. The sauces were beautiful. The stuff that dreams are made of. Chef's kiss, Tracey's!! read more

The food here is very good. They also have really good drinks that are non-alcoholic as well as alcoholic beverages. The service was good , our waitress was very kind and always checked on us. They had just opened and we were seated right away. The restaurant was very clean. If I visit UP again I will make sure to visit this establishment. read more

Great dining experience while in Munising! Cute atmosphere, good food and service. There isn't any signage for Tracey's, so it was a little hard to find until I looked up that it is in the Roam Hotel. read more

So disappointed. Watered down drinks with hidden upcharges for everything. Banh mi slider was okay. Best flavor of anything, but suuuuper messy to eat - not well thought out on layering with the bread. Focaccia with ricotta - that was not focaccia, it was grilled sourdough and that was not whipped ricotta, it was cream cheese. 40-day aged prime rib and bison rib eye were bland, chewy, and had zero sear. We should not have had to add salt to these beautiful cuts of meat. Side of broccolini was crunchy and undercooked. And the crispiness of the twice fried fingerling potatoes was lost under too much sauce. The seafood stew had one piece of whitefish!? It was mostly shrimp. In the UP, I expected them to highlight the fish. What a letdown. And the value was PAINFUL: we paid $330 with tip for three people to have a meal that was worth half that at best. Will not return. read more

My husband and I came here on his birthday trip to have a nice dinner and celebrate. Service was very slow, but we didn't mind as we knew this was a more upscale place and we knew the food would be good and worth the wait. We had the calamari, gnocchi, and burger, and we did enjoy them. However, when we went to order desert we were told they were out of the crème brûlée and the chocolate cake which were the only two deserts on the menu. No problem - we were sad but understanding... until the server at the table next to us offered a creative ice cream desert solution that sounded simple and great. This was something that was not offered to us, even as a substitute, even after discussing it was my husband's birthday. I want to be very clear - we are disappointed in the lack of hospitality at what is clearly supposed to be a more elevated experience in the area, not the fact that we didn't get dessert. We know things run out and happen, and we were totally fine until we saw other servers going out of their way to make things right. We are disappointed in our server and the service we received. Our server never even checked on us during our long wait for food to begin with, even with an empty water bottle. TL;DR: food is good, service/hospitality is not. read more

Another excellent dinner experience at Tracy's at Roam Inn! We come up from Manistique whenever in the area to have some great tasting food that you can't get in too many places let alone in the U.P. Service was great, allowing as much time as we wanted to drink a nice bottle of wine before we ordered. Was a bit chilly that day so opted to eat inside instead of the porch which was full when we left. Can't wait till we return. read more

This restaurant far surpassed our expectations. Seven of us had different dishes and they were all fantastic. A charming place with lots of light in our part of the Inn. A beautiful view of Lake Superior. Waitstaff was great. It is a dynamic menu with vegetarian options. Local favorite fauna and fresh ingredients. read more

Exceptional food and service. It was my 44th Anniversary Dinner, have had a summer home in the area for decades and hands down this place is FABULOUS. Arrived at 4p for cocktail hour and all mixed drinks were 1/2 off. Had a blue cheese stuffed olive martini and a smoky old fashion. Most small plates: smoked dill white fish dip and pesto spread on toast. Then a summer strawberry spinach salad and beef taco in yummy sauce. Topped it off with chocolate lava cake and fresh brew coffee ! The view over Lake Superior on the deck was awe inspiring on a hot sunny day. All for $102 as it has happy hour (3-5p). Highly recommended trying it! Posted the signage as some say it's difficult to find which is hilarious with google maps. Perused the menu and selected favorites which I would recommend as everyone like's something different. read more

The ambiance and food here is perfect for a date night, but not great for a group of 5 who landed on this place because they were looking for a dinner that wasn't pizza in the area. The menu apparently changes frequently, which is fine, but had I seen the menu beforehand I probably wouldn't have chosen here. It's aiming for high-end food, so the portions are extremely small but more expensive than you would imagine. I had the whitefish for dinner, and while good, I was done in approximately 4 bites. Our waitress was very kind, so we had no problems there, but all of us left still hungry (and a little broke). read more

Tracey's - Potato Chip Whitefish - New American Near Me - Munising, Michigan

Wow, I have never had food like this in Northern Michigan. Every dish was thoughtfully curated, featuring local ingredients, and tasted so delicious. The short rib and the gnocchi were the superstars of the meal. The service was great -- the staff (Nick and Madeline, I think?) were kind, funny, and warm. The vibe in here was cute and cozy while still upscale. We will absolutely be back if we're in the area! read more

The meat was under seasoned on both the steak and burger. The sauce was good, and server was good. The bartender was busy and asked his friends at the bar to cut garnish and they did, which was nice, but they neglected to wash their hands. I also couldn't help but over hear him complaining about his co workers. For as upscale as this place pretends to be, the lack of professionalism and mediocre food give a different experience. read more

The food here was delicious. I would give this burger a solid 8.5/10 with my only complaint being was the bun was soggy from the sauces and there were no tomatoes on which I think would make it tastier. We also ordered drinks which were delicious. It's a nice seating arrangement and wasn't too loud when we went. I love the pictures all over of the pictures rocks, it adds to the charm of the restaurant. The service was pretty good although it took a little bit longer than we anticipated. read more

I love coming here for cocktails when I'm in Munising. It's friendly and fun. If you like whiskey or scotch they have a lot of options. They have beer and wine too. Usually 4 beers on tap. You are sure to get local beers on tap too. They do a daily special that's tasty and fresh. The barkeep usually knows their stuff so you can order a classic cocktail or any off menu cocktail. The only thing I don't love is the lime juice is not fresh squeezed. They order it in and one tender said it's a week long shelf life. Either way, daily squeezed citrus is the way to go for cocktails. They need a few better gin options too. The inside is adorable. The deck has outdoor seating that's lovely. You can see LAKE Superior and the view is lovely. If you are eating please get the cheese curds or the Brussels sprouts. So ferocious. Like delicious and incredible. So y'all need to get in here. read more

The restaurant is only as good as the help. Sheena was our server. Not very attentive. Did not explain the menu. She didn't even make eye contact to see if we needed anything. We got there about 5 minutes after they opened and we were told they were "out of Trout". Was looking forward to a great experience. This wasn't it. read more

For the most part the food was delicious - We got the short ribs which were for SURE the star of the show! I got the ribeye and fries that were on special and everything was tasty and well seasoned, but my steak was quite overcooked. I ordered it rare and it was medium-medium well. I didn't return it as the service was a bit slow so I didn't want my partner to be done eating before I could start. Overall would try again when in the area, but would likely stay away from another steak. read more

Not from here. I'm originally Born and raised in Detroit but we traveled from GR. Found this place through Yelp cuz I'm a foodie and great food makes any place more worth staying. So glad we came and checked out this relaxing and different in a nice way restaurant. Tracy's is definitely a restaurant to check out if not the restaurant when in Munising. First time here and it's already made a mark on my food journey. Love the atmosphere, scene and vibe. Offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The service was great and attentive. Food was visually appealing and taste was pleasing. Prices are on the higher end yet absolutely worth it. read more

Hmmm, where do I start? Food was good for the most part, probably best in the area. Our group had the butter lettuce, potato chip whitefish, beef shoulder sandwich, and gnocchi ( though was a small serving size for $$$). Everything was good except for the whitefish. It seem that the cappers and olives were absent and the serving size was ridiculous - was it called potato chip because it was the size of a potato chip. I would recommend not ordering. Service was terrible. There were maybe 7 other tables there and it took us about 30 minutes to get our drinks and food was slow as well. At the end of the of the day, food was good, service was terrible and prices were ridiculously expensive for the area. It was not in the price $$ category. read more

We are here two nights of our trip because we wanted to try multiple menu items. Impressive menu and great location. Beautiful view from the patio. Our servers were so nice, but it seemed like they had too many tables and were struggling to keep up. The kitchen was also backed up maybe too many things on the menu or maybe short staffed that week? We were on vacation, so not in a big hurry, but it took over 30 mins to get our drinks. The Lakeshore Pan Roast, whipped ricotta and pork dumplings were outstanding. The brick chicken had great Mediterranean flavor. The burger had too many flavors (arugula and cherry) competing with the taste of high quality meat. We will be back and just know that in the high tourist season service will be slower. read more

My wife and I were just here recently and had possibly the worst service we've had in many many years. We were not sure exactly what was wrong with our server but after an hour and five minutes and getting one drink and no food we think that either she was an experienced or something else was wrong. After we sat down it took 20 minutes for a drink order. I had to flag down the host in order to find who are server would be. Drinks were finally provided 20 minutes after we put in our drink order. We tried to find our server to maybe get a second drink, and find out about our order, but she was nowhere to be found. She did spend a great deal of time, talking to the bartender, but never bothered to come to our table other than to take the initial drink order and the food order. There were three other tables near us that seemed to get timely drinks and food orders. Of course a different server handled the 3 other tables. I realize some places have a night off or a bad night, but this is an expensive restaurant and parades itself to be very high-end, but there did not appear to be any management or anyone to step in and deal with the situation Finally after 65 minutes, I was able to get the executive chef to come out and I said I want to pay for my drinks and get out of here. The service has been so bad. I don't want to be around here. read more

This place is great if you don't mind paying a lot for small portions and sub par service. It's in a nice location and has good food so it has potential, but in my opinion as someone who's worked in and frequented everything from dive bars to fine dining in major international cities, it's way overpriced for the tiny portions. It may be better for drinks and apps. read more

Tracey's was lovely. What a gem tucked into Munising! There's an inn above the restaurant, called Roam Inn. So when you're looking for Tracey's you'll see a modern inn with a patio. You found it! Sit on the patio! Have the Brussels. And an assortment of small plates. I'm going to venture a guess that the filet was amazing. Take your time. Enjoy the wine! Please make reservations and understand that there are very few (nice!) restaurants up North anna appreciate this extraordinary place for what they bring to the UP. (What a break from bar food!!) read more
