Cozy spot, great for a low-key dinner. Music was cool. Had their Blood Orange Honey wheat beer on tap - really hit the spot. That was the best part for me.

Service was really good even when it was packed. Our server kept checking on us without hovering, which was nice for catching up with friends.

The outdoor patio was perfect for a sunny brunch. I went for their spicy Bloody Mary&mdash;it had a great kick and paired really well with the richness of the chicken Benedict. The grilled lettuce on the side was a nice, light touch.

The lemon blueberry ricotta pancakes are huge. Almost too big for one person! They were tasty, but definitely on the sweeter side for my liking. Good for a big breakfast.

The pita chips with dips were a good starter. I liked the hummus and the melted cheese dip. But honestly, for the price they charge, I expected a bit more pita bread. The portion felt a little small.

Stopped by Happy&#39;s Taco Shop on a whim. Got the pork taco and a burrito bowl. The portions were huge, honestly more than I could finish. Pork taco was solid.

The private room was a nice touch for our group. It felt cozy and separate from the main dining area, which was a bit loud. The staff was really nice about letting us pick our menu ahead of time.

This place is a fun stop near Traverse City. I loved the huge selection of local beers and seltzers&mdash;tried a few new ones. The arcade games were a nice bonus while we sipped. 🍻

Staff was super friendly, especially the cashier. She was patient with my questions about the menu and even gave a quick recommendation. Made ordering a lot easier. That kind of helpfulness is always a plus.

Hibachi dinner here was solid. Chef was skilled and kept things moving. Good for a business meal, close to the office. Food was fine, nothing exceptional but reliable.

Carter was a solid server. He suggested the pork belly bao, and it was the right call. The bao itself was pillowy, and the pork had a nice caramelized crust. He kept the water glasses full without being intrusive. Just a good, straightforward meal because of him.

They saved our Christmas Eve! Got a pizza with mushrooms and pineapple, and it was ready in about 20 minutes. Super fresh and tasty, especially for a last-minute veggie option.

Came for our anniversary. The Atlantic lemon sole was a huge portion, cooked just right. Our server really knew the menu and suggested a nice red that paired well. Fettuccine with meatballs was solid, too. Good spot for a special night.

Love that they serve the coffee in a small mug with a carafe for refills. Keeps it hot and feels thoughtful.

Came here with a big group last night. The grilled octopus was actually really good&mdash;tender and smoky, not rubbery at all. A solid spot when everywhere else is full.

Cody and Josh were so friendly! They didn&#39;t just take our order, they took a few photos for our table which was a nice touch. Felt like they actually wanted us to have a good time.

Cozy spot with a nice outdoor view. I got their veggie pizza and was really happy with how fresh the ingredients tasted. The crust was light, and the veggies were crisp. A solid choice for a simple, healthy-ish meal.

Found this spot for a quick bite. Tried the &#39;Peanut Nutter&#39; &ndash; super fluffy and sweet. They have a ton of creative flavors to pick from. Staff was friendly, place felt cozy. Got my order fast.

Service was on point. Attentive but not hovering, and the sommelier really knew his stuff. He suggested a glass of Rioja that paired beautifully with the lamb. Made the whole evening flow.

The host was juggling a ton but stayed cool. Our server was slammed but never let our wine glasses get empty. Solid team.

The mimosa and hash browns were the best part. Coffee&#39;s solid, and you can grab beans to go. The rest of the food was pretty good too, but those two things really hit the spot for a chill weekend bite.

The service at this restaurant is outstanding! From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly and attentive, making our dining experience enjoyable. Special shoutout to the host who set a great tone for our breakfast.

I had the pleasure of trying the bacon jam omelet, and it was absolutely incredible! The combination of flavors was perfect, and I can&#39;t wait to return to explore more of the menu.

Slows offers a great selection of smoked meats, and the sweet potato mash is simply the best I&#39;ve ever tasted!

Sought out this bakery on a whim. The baguette had a perfect crust, and the sourdough rye we took home was just as good the next day. A solid find.

Great service and attentive staff made our visit enjoyable. The unique menu options and the delicious bread pudding are definitely highlights!

Right downtown Traverse City, so we popped in after walking around. Got a table outside, which was nice. The burger was solid, cooked just right. Fries were a bit too salty for my taste, but still ate them all. Good spot for a casual bite.
