- GGailNorthern Michigan / Upper Peninsula •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis not a review for the restaurant but for the heated pool and cabana.I brought my son's family including 3 older grandkids. This is our second time here. We plan on making this an annual Christmas tradition. We had the best time! The pool water was 95° and felt so good! The cabana was nice and toasty warm with hot chocolate for my grandkids and all the fixings. We ordered some food. The chicken tenders were really good and the flatbread pizzas. It was amazing because we got to have a glass of wine while in the pool! It was such a nice evening and very relaxing and we will be back next Christmas!More infoArtisan - Traverse CityPrice: Expensive• American• Traverse City•4.7

- DDavidVIPNorthern Michigan / Upper Peninsula •62 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 4, 2024It's a teaching restaurant, so allow 1 ½ hrs for lunch and more for dinner. Classic choices such as the beef bourguignon entree and the soup of Shredded Chicken with fennel and a hint of star anise were very good. No time today to linger for deserts which are superb. Pastry Chef Megan is a pro. Merrill at the bar always has a fun delicious special drink, plus the standard classic cocktails. It's nice to see they now offer a better range of Non-area wines , as well as local wines to please visitors. Wine choices are 8 or so of both whites and reds. Best view of the bay, even on a very snowy day. Beautiful setting.More infoGreat Lakes Culinary InstitutePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Traverse City•4.8

Our server was knowledgeable and our tab was surprisingly low. We hope Saffron De Twah returns soon!More infoNoBo Riverside Food & DrinkPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Traverse City•5
