Restaurants near Pinestead Reef Resort

Service was attentive. Large selection of different brunch items from omelettes to salads, pasta and carving stations. Excellent desserts too!

We are regular diners at Artisan and always enjoy our experience. Last night was truly outstanding. Service provided by Joanna was perfect. The beet salad, shrimp alla vodka, and duck breast were delicious and beautifully presented. The menu changes monthly and the chef is one of the most talented and creative in Traverse City. The atmosphere is lovely ( although I agree with other reviewers who have mentioned the too low chairs…I request a cushion) and we give Artisan our very highest recommendation.

We had such a fun time dining at the charcuterie and cocktail event hosted by Great Lakes Culinary Institute and the students in training in the Beverage Management class. Traverse City is blessed to have such a beautiful culinary Institute that provides its students an outlet for practicing their trade.  Reservations go quickly, so it is hard to get into events, but when you do get in, you will be impressed. 

Friday early dinner and we decided on happy hour menu for meal. Quickly sat. Server was fantastic! Food was very tasty. Wonton tacos are messy and spicy, but tasty. Wouldn't order again. The boneless wings and walleye bites were delicious. Old Fashioned was odd w soda water, but all others were perfect! Ambience was okay for being a hotel restaurant/bar. Noise level was low but increased as others arrived. Second time here w food and drink consistently the same and well worth the prices.

Everything was delicious! Best chicken quesadillas I’ve ever had! The waiter was so nice! Nice atmosphere.
