Last night, I tried a new entrée I didn't try before and it was the best entrée I've had. The chicken cacciatore was outrageous. The flavor the chicken was full of the bone. It was tremendous. I keep thinking about it.. I could eat there every night. I really feel like I'm at home . Our server was so cute and knew everything and we had a bubbly personality to even make the experience even better.. Can't wait to go back

I worked directly with the owner of Bella Vita as the wedding planner for one of my clients, and…read moreunfortunately, this remains one of the most unprofessional vendor experiences I have had in the wedding industry. During the wedding, the owner made an incredibly inappropriate comment directly to my bride, telling her that she "wasn't the prettiest bride" she had seen, but that "she'd do." There is simply no circumstance in which I can imagine that being an appropriate thing to say to someone and particularly a bride on her wedding day. Unfortunately, my interactions with the owner throughout the event were also extremely difficult and unprofessional. The issues weren't limited to customer service, either. The food was served cold, and the brisket was tough and chewy. As a wedding planner, I take vendor recommendations seriously because the professionals we recommend become part of our clients' experience on one of the most important days of their lives. Based on my firsthand experience working with Bella Vita, I would not feel comfortable recommending them to my clients or other couples.

I got a few vodka sodas, a fountain coke, and my husband and I shared the giantest (yes it's a word) dish of nachos in the world. They were great. We brought the leftovers home to our in laws and although they were cold and soggy, they got demolished in minutes, ha! The service was efficient. Our server wasn't overly friendly but she wasn't rude either, just wanted to get the job done. Would definitely go back for nachos and a drink!

Easily the best bar in Petoskey and honestly one of the best ones I've been to anywhere. Yes, as a…read morehometown local I'm a little biased for sure but there is something very genuine and honest about the Pub and the people there. No pretension, no putting on airs or trying to impress anyone, everyone coming as they are. You'll rub elbows with local blue collar and service industry people, trust fund kids, wealthy summer residents, everyday folks of all kinds etc. I think a lot of reviews here are from visitors expecting The Pub to be like the Perry Hotel or one of the more tourist oriented places that bends over backwards and caters to summer vacationers. One even mentioned threatening to "Go ski somewhere else" for not being coddled I guess, which I found hilarious. They also seem to mention food a lot. For what it's worth the food is pretty darn good here, though my experience is usually over some appetizers later at night shared with friends over a few drinks. Solid burgers, can't go wrong with the fish & chips and their cheese curds are surprisingly good, easily rivaling anything you'd find in Wisconsin. That said I've always seen this place as a bar first and a place to drink with friends that just happens to have good late night food too. The service is good and the people working are top-notch and good at their job, but sometimes the Pub can get a bit too busy as there's just not a lot of competition that truly rivals it downtown. That's what happens when barely anything is open late in the post-covid world and businesses seem to be closing left and right. If you can keep your ego in check you'll find a pretty rare and valuable thing here which is a local pub welcoming to anybody and truly reflecting the full breadth of the local community.

I love the buffalo chicken wrap or the Thai curry wrap. Be sure to upgrade for the French onion dip for your chips. Always great service and good for families.

It is a pretty tight fit inside but we were able to squeeze through with two high chairs. The kids did great. The waitress came shortly after to take drink orders. She was very sweet. I ordered the pretzel with queso. It was very big and it was delicious. I loved it. It made me soo full. I wanted dessert but I couldnt get any because I was so full. My husband ordered a Jalapeno burger. He said it was super good. The only sad thing is they dont have fries here, they only have chips. The kids loved the chips! The food was good and the price was good too. Overall, we enjoyed it!

So cool to just walk around and check things out. Oh, by the way, the drinks are GREAT! We tried a couple varieties, with different liquors and all were good. We ended up buying a bottle of gin. It was mid-afternoon on a Monday so not crowded whatsoever so just got served right away. Bartenders were nice and gave nice recommendations based on what liquors we like.

Their efforts don't go unnoticed. Also, I have to thank them for their consistency, quality, taste, portions of their variety of food offered.

It can't be easy so again thank you. The weather today was overcast, but at the landing the atmosphere was sunny and bright! Don't, miss a visit this Northern gem of a restaurant especially if you love lobster! Their Lobster Rolls are amazing? Also, be sure to check out their Roll Back Specials! That idea is terrific.

One of the managers, Lisa, stopped by our table to check on us. She was so nice & told me she loved my daughter's pigtails (she said she never got to do any fun girl hairstyles because she's a 4 time boy mom lol) We were out shopping in town & decided to come back here for food! The pulled pork sandwich was delicious & my husband loved his perch dinner! We tried to get our daughter to eat the grilled cheese kids meal, but she decided my husband & my food was better lol The sweet potato waffle fries are really good! I loved the peanut butter sauce but did not care for the strawberry jelly dip. 3 years ago we ate here on a sunny day & it was beautiful. Even though it was rainy today, the beachside vibe still made it fun! Hopefully it doesn't take us another 3 years to make it back to the area because I would definitely eat here again! (Anthony plus is that the bathrooms are clean & they have scent sticks which make it smell good)
