Just finished a round of putt putt here and I'll tell ya it was a blast!…read more What a bunch of these reviews aren't telling you is that the cost to play is for an ALL DAY PASS! So come early, play a round (9 or 18), go do your thing, and come back to play again when the music is going. Folks who are saying this is a tourist trap are being a bit unrealistic... it's Glenn Arbor folks, in the summer, yeah it's a bit pricey on some items. But 20 bucks for an adult play all day plus $7 Oberon tall boys isn't a bad deal for this area. I gave them 4/5 because I didn't have any bites, so I didn't want to leave a false impression that everything is perfect. But with this news, know that if that food isn't exactly in your wheelhouse you can completely come and go as you please. Great spot overall and definitely hits on several of the funny shirts/merch designs.

She's great at reading her customers - when to order, when we're finished, the bill...etc. Highly recommended!!

Good Harbor Grill doesn't look like it'd be a delicious game to table restaurant, but it is!…read more Amusingly, when searching for a place for dinner, we glanced at the menu and passed on GHG, as we felt it was too pricy. But, after staying in the area for a week, we learned everything is pricy up here lol. After passing it up, the owner of the tea shop recommended GHG, so we took our hanger here, and I'm glad we did. It was fun and unexpected when choosing a salad dressing they bring you the entire bottle, even if you're the only person at your table using that kind of dressing. Pros: Chill vibes Good wine list Excellent quality of food. The whitefish was better prepared than what I had in Leland! Cons: Just the price. Was a high quality meal, and the price reflected that. All in all, Good Harbor Grill has amazing fresh, in season food that is worth it!

On a cold, blustery Sunday in sleepy Glen Arbor, we were happy to find that it was open for business. The building's design is gorgeous, there were birch tree posts and accents, plus a fireplace that was quite inviting. We ordered the side salad to split and two bacon jam with gouda smash burgers. So delish! The side salad was the best I'd ever had in a restaurant; big enough for two. But the best surprise was our server, Patrick. He knows the area well, and we chatted pleasantly about a plethora of subjects. Such a hardworking, intelligent, amiable young man! Felt like we made a new friend. We will be driving over form TC often to eat here!

I was able to eat here on a Monday since my flight that was supposed to leave got canceled so I had…read morean extra day to spend in Michigan since my friend's family managed to add me to their reservation. This restaurant is definitely on the smaller side but it has such the cutest charm! I ordered the Salmon Piccata with a side of Caesar salad, and pasta with oil, garlic, and butter. The Salmon Piccata was perfectly cooked; however, I wish it had a tad more seasoning (maybe a tad more salt or simply lemon juice) since I truly had to rely on the capers for any acidity. The Caesar salad has to be one of the best I've ever had--it honestly had the punch of lemony boquerones. If you truly love anchovies, I highly recommend ordering it with some extra anchovies! Lastly, the pasta was just as expected, but it was still delicious! Pro tip if you order the salmon piccata: dip the pasta in the lemon and white wine sauce--you'll thank me later!

What a special place in what feels like the middle of no where. A house on a street that is inside…read morea cozy, lovely restaurant. Even in the middle of winter, reservations were needed. Upon entering they will take your coats ( if you have them) service was great The ambience is low key, an intimate feeling. Selection of dishes check boxes for classic Italian. I love how you can choose your side pasta and kind of sauce with the entrée. That is a special touch worth going just for that. You are charged for sharing but they offer side and salad with the extra charge. Not unreasonable in my opinion. The bread brought out was delicious. Felt the marinara was a little salty for the eggplant But certainly not inedible. A nearby table had ordered mussels and the smell did carry over to us so a sensitivity to that could be an issue . Dessert The Tiramisu was fabulous. I actually liked the texture as you could taste every component. Usually soggy lady fingers which can taste great but here they kept their structure I felt making it stand out . Wonderful flavors. Parking is one way and could be icy in the lot. Well lit though. Worth the drive!

Came for dinner last night after hearing rave reviews from friends in the area. The burgers were…read moredelicious, but that is where the positives end. The service was painfully slow; the young woman waiting on our table was stretched way too thin. It took about 15 min to order drinks and another 15 before they came. We ordered fries to share and burgers, subbing side salads since it sounded delish. Fries came out lightning fast but the portion was TINY for $10 - we had to flag down our waitress to order a second round of drinks (which she didn't even stop to ask if we wanted the same or not, just sprinted away and put them in); when she returned with this round we ordered more fries (accepting we would end up paying $30 for fries...absurd). Burgers came out; as mentioned before these were delish -6oz is a great size and bun was quality. Side salad portion was pathetic. About 6 lettuce pieces with a few toppings sprinkled on. After finishing, we again flagged down the waitress as she blew past and asked for the check. We got the bill and were appalled. For the drinks (vodka with a splash of cranberry; tequila with soda and a splash of lemonade; scotch on the rocks; all served in small cocktail glasses) not only were we charged for the alcohol - but also the mixers as if they were full sized glasses of cranberry and lemonade instead of a 1oz or less splash. Even more ridiculous was being charged for ICE (yes, you read correctly - ICE) in the scotch. Round that out with side salads being priced $1.50 over what was listed on the menu and we concluded we will never be back nor recommend.

We ordered a medium with mushroom, pepperoni, and extra cheese. It did not take long, and it was perfect. Piping hot and traditional pizza (my fav). It's expensive ($25), but it's worth it, and you tend to see higher prices in destination areas. Max was our server, he was great! So great we went back to try their sandwiches last night! I had the BLT and my husband had the Philly. Both were good, we did not add a side. I wouldn't get the BLT again because I would try something more exciting for the price (LOL). The ambience is warm and friendly, you feel like a local, and if you're lucky you'll meet Max!

VI is the best food in Empire! If only they can be open when they say they will!…read more Loved just about everything about dining in at Village Inn. Definitely more of a locals place, vibes are immaculate. Started with the pepperoni chips...order these! Gluten free, keto friendly deliciously addicting! I'd order these every time! I had the Salmon burger, and it exceeded my expectations! It's an actually filet of Salmon, no weird patties here. Healthy, fresh tasting, I would order this every time as well! Sweet potato fries had good flavor. Husband ordered pizza and was happy. They have the root beer Friendly's has, which is awesome, because the food at VI is so much better! Service was excellent too! We did inquire about their 4th of July hours, and though they said they were to be open for lunch, they were not. :( I get it, it's a tiny beach town, they can do what they want, but it was a bummer, because the food is special, and because there are so few options. All in all, I wish I was able to try out more of the menu at VI, maybe next time!
