Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Bay Harbor

Want to compliment our wait person, Liz. She was very accommodating in helping us to decide what to order by explaining our choices. We were early enough for Happy Hour & got half off on glasses of wine. We were celebrating our anniversary & we’re disappointed that we didn’t get a complementary dessert. The table next to us got a complementary birthday dessert. It’s always a treat to dine at Bennethum’s when we are in the area & also to go there for Happy Hour.

The planked whitefish is the best. I've never had a bad meal here. The salads are fresh and delicious, the cooking inventive. Beautiful lost in time atmosphere. If you've never been here, go. You won't regret it.

Made the trek-up after a day of skiing at Boyne Mtn. Restaurant was quiet...for a Saturday night. Menu is small (off-season?), but clever. Some of the "main plates" don't match the price tag, but we were on vacation and didn't care. Chef brought out a complimentary dessert for our party...thank you sir. Our server, Emily was very nice.

As always, my experience at Spring&Porter was flawless. I’ll remain forever grateful to Chef Tommy and his amazing staff for taking the risk and opening our first and only restaurant that doesn’t make one feel lousy when you get the tab. This area is not known for its food. Pizza, burger joints abound. The few Asian inspired eatery’s are easy to forget. One and done. From the moment you enter Spring&Porter, a sense of warmth ensues. The lighting is wonderful. Soft yet not too dark. Don’t know about you all, but I love booth seating. Then there’s the bar. First of all it’s so pretty. The bartender is a true professional and is well versed in all cocktails. The wine list is well above average in interesting. And then there’s the music. Wonderful. Not too loud. The parking lot is worth mentioning as no matter where you land, it’s a short walk to the front door. I could go on and on, but this is enough for now. Next time I’ll go over each dish as I’ve had them all. Happy New Year to all. Treat yourself kindly and eat well.

Great food and wine selection. Service was slow but there didn’t seem to be enough staff.
