We had a family dinner at Red Lobster for the first time in awhile looking forward to a good meal. The food tasted over processed and not fresh at all. We were very disappointed in both the quality of food and service as we definitely did not get what we paid for.

Not friendly hostess or waitress, not informative with huge menu.Way too expensive! I was not impressed! Nigiri tuna did not seem fresh I will not return, for that price I will go to Red Ginger!! It was closed that day.The other sushi places in Traverse City are good and better, just wanted to try something new. I will not recommend, nor return.

We just left Traverse City yesterday. The 4 of us were doing a wine tour, just the 4 of us. We wanted a lit dinner. Our hotel recommended the Cottage. Very relaxed atmosphere....clean. Our waiter brought us a loaf of monkey bread(complementary), which was warm and delicious! We all ordered club sandwiches. Only asking for 2 slices of toast rather than 3. I said no big deal, I'll take the extra toast off. Not knowing our waiter heard me, when our sandwiches arrived, only 2 slices of toast! Woohoo! Excellent sandwich, I would order it again in a heartbeat!

This was one of the nicest stops on our trip up north Michigan to celebrate my boyfriendâs birthday the boat house restaurant is exquisite itâs clean the service is professional and friendly. ....I cannot say enough about this restaurant we were there on a Wednesday night and they had this great special a burger and a glass of cab for 16 bucks so thatâs what Ed and I both did..... the burger was cooked perfectly and the service was impeccable Ryan & Austin we like to give you a shout out for your great service and smiles! Also a shout out to the hostess Kelly for telling us to just take a cocktail outside and enjoy the Adirondacks chairs and the beautiful view while we wait for a table ......thanks Kelli that was really sweet of you to walk out and get us.... now thatâs service we enjoyed our trip up north tremendously and if we are in Traverse city we will make sure we stop at this restaurant again, The owner should be very proud to have a team so professional and happy (all the servers were smiling and loved what they do incredible) running this place for him

Wow... the experience here exceeded expectations on every level. our server was knowledgeable and recommended kick-off beverages that did NOT disappoint. We expressed some concerns regarding gluten free considerations and about 3 minutes later the CHEF appeared table side to walk us through our options. My entree included wild rice, but I wanted to try the polenta that was offered on another selection. Presto change-o no problem. The oyster appetizer was amazing - large, plump fresh oysters with delicious cocktail and horseradish sauces along with some pickled onions. My filet was impeccably prepared and presented as was my love's grouper. Portions were ample and the tastes were a delight to the tastebuds. It's a weird location being tucked inside the hotel and super small venue, but that just makes it all the more appealing in that it isn't a particularly obvious choice for a meal destination. But it is NOT to be missed and we will be returning at first opportunity!Thank you very much for your review. We appreciate the detailed account of your time with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
